The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

If there isn’t an actual shortage, why wouldn’t you take advantage of peoples’ unnecessary need to buy fuel?

Not everyones need is unneccessary

I can see loads of people panic buying fuel from my bathroom window.

Selfish tw@ts.

And the profiteering is underway. Some brunch of cunts on the A49 between Leominster and Ludlow are charging 140.8 for petrol and 141.8 for diesel. Three or four ppl more than yesterday. Got 30 quids worth as I've got to get back to Manchester and then commute for a few days.

Coming back from London yesterday and a service station we stopped at was charging £1.51 the robbing twats

Passed a BP garage before and there were no queues, couple of people filling up, no panic, presumably because it's about 4p per litre higher than the supermarket pumps?

Next door is McDonald's. Now those were some queues! Must...stuff...calorific... cardboard...food....into...face...flaps.....

It was 1.53 for diesel on the m4 3 weeks ago, a few minutes drive off the motorway is was 1.30

Media tells us there’s a petrol shortage at a handful of petrol stations and 24 hours later we run out of fuel, people really need to turn the fuckin TVs off

I hope the media never tell us there’s a deadly virus

We are trying to keep the panic going.

You Sir are not helping.

I agree but not for another few years for me

No it's not. It's 0.568 litres. Ask Magicpole.

Grew up in the 70's / early 80's when all you had to read at the breakfast table was the milk bottle.

568 ml stuck with me too.

I laughed out loud when he blamed the hauliers. The cabinet is packed wall to wall with certifiable morons.

Media broadcast a fact and it causes numpties to top up their tanks.

They haven’t scaremongered. They reported a truth.

It shows that people are selfish, scared and don’t believe a word of what is being said by anyone.

Can hardly blame them for that, considering the state of the useless, lying snakes pretending to be a government just now.

Sure. How else can the media report a few petrol stations running out of fuel, without saying it?

People have chosen to flock to the pumps.

Petrol and bog roll.

Essentials.
