The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

Fucking state of this country, seriously it’s embarrassing what we’ve become, spoon fed from the media and the shambles of a government, fucking Shapps has started off blaming the the nasty EU companies for undercutting haulage prices then moved swiftly on to Covid testing of overseas drivers.

I am sick of this shower of cunts running the country. We need a revolution to drain the fucking swamp of Etonites and their croanies.

Because Remainers want to make it so.....


Sadly

Fucking deluded

its a surprise that all of a sudden the skint public can manage to fill there tanks up at £60/£70 a go

Youre right. Petrol has crept up and its like it hasnt been noticed. Its never been this high before but in times past folk would kick off about it.

Wait til they start selling it in gallons again. People will then realise how expensive petrol really is.

Yeah, people fearful of not being able to get to work shell out what for some will be a fair share of their budget to ensure they can get their next month’s wage.

Is there anything that poorer people spend their money on that you are not critical of?

Hardly anyone buys their cars these days. They’re all on lease for £300 a month. I personally don’t like SUVs, but there does seem to be a large portion of the public that favour them.

Yes I know that and thats what I meant. By 'buy' I meant in a looser way than the people who rent them do

Might force more to work from home or get a bike or use public transport.

It might. I doubt it though.

I remember picking up an Insignia company car in 2009 and as usual it was on fumes. Went over their road to put petrol in and when I hit £120 I genuinely checked there wasn't a hole in the tank - then I saw it was - I think - about £1.52 per litre !

Al the cars I seen filling to the brim weren‘t your 2005 Fiesta, the majority were a few years old at most. Many working class can’t afford to drain the pumps, they pay as you go with their £20 to get through the week.

Just being stuck on the road while they queued up made me realise that me putting £15 in a couple of days ago, to last me the week, was a waste of time.

Just like the empty shelves when COVID hit, those with the money will not give a fuck about anybody but themselves.

Bet everyone in a Tesla or electric car are laughing their cocks off.

I remember similar queues about 20 years ago during the "fuel protests". I was a cycling commuter doing about 5,000 miles per annum. No car. I was certainly laughing my cock off then.

Well it hasnt since. Small mercy's like but that was before Boris kicked off to get his vanity project through and Russia flexed its muscles at the resulting European fuss and who it gives its gas to.

Me and my missus have 1 car between us (diesel) but I normally cycle to work anyway, 6.5 miles each way. The whole of last year I only drove to work a handful of times.

Fucking deluded

Here we go again, a problem with a few BP petrol stations makes it the fault of anyone who wanted to leave a corrupt cess pit.

Pigmol, VAR, the dippers winning the league just after we left, all the fault of Brexit.
