The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

I've been past about 5-6 different petrol stations in the last 48 hours. All had no queues and the odd couple of cars buying petrol as normal.

All the thick twats filled up over the weekend and normal functioning members of society can now crack on as usual.

I'm driving over to Leeds for a gig after work tonight and need some petrol. I am not in the slightest bit "worried".
You’re going over to Yorkshire and you’re not worried? Watch out for them sheep.

Enjoy the gig!
 
The day after the referendum. That was the day we realised we had fucked ourselves and could do nothing about it, except to continue with the fucking.

Think of if as a bad blind date that resulted in marriage :)
That was the one that I didn't understand it was always billed as advisory I know a number of people who voted leave believing Cameron would go back to the table renegoitiate better terms to be put to the country in a binding confirmatory vote.
 
I don't remember anyone ever promising endless Sunshine, and Milk and Honey.

I do remember talk of things getting worse before they eventually get better.

Brexit is being resisted and undermined every step of the way by people who can not handle the result of a democratic process. MSM are anything but free and independent. Deliberately trying to fuck the Country up. Just so they can say we were wrong on Brexit. So transparent.

I proudly voted for Brexit.

Eventually we will become more self sufficient. And start manufacturing stuff again. Give Kids a future.
As most manufacturing is done in the far east, how does brexit help us do this?

Bob please take your political views to the appropriate forum. The politics one.

Seriously ? He negotiated a deal and we THEN voted. No one (except you) thought there would be 2 votes.

Can't and won't speak for others as I have no idea what people think. Apart from those who have told me. Although it would appear I was not alone.

People are so easily influenced by MSM.

It is actually quite disturbing.

They believe everything the are told. Never ,ever, questioning the narrative, the hidden agenda behind the story.

MSM say there is a toilet roll shortage. People fill their trollies with 5 year supply of Toilet rolls.

Daily Fail runs with the HGV driver shortage story. Tells all its readers it will impact fuel deliveries.

The Sheep hit the Petrol Stations in their tens of thousands filing every container they can get their Hands on.

No one questions the ulterior motives behind all the MSM scare mongering. It was a deliberately orchestrated act

Everyone now blames Brexit.

The owners of all these Rag Newspapers coincidentally are all Pro-EU.

The government needs to clamp down on this. It is irresponsible and could lead to civil unrest.

Even if it is true, the dailies should not be making the situation worse deliberately causing panic buying and sensationalizing.
If you honestly believe the likes of Rothermere, Murdoch and the Barclay Brothers, and the newspapers and other outlets they own, are anti-Brexit and pro-EU then I have to wonder if you have been in a coma lying in a cave cut off from the outside world for the last 30 years. Anything else is a distorted version of reality that would make Trump and Dominic Cummings blush. Madness and one of the funniest things I have read on here for ages.
Maybe, just maybe, the people who told you all this could happen before the referendum - and who the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and Sky News dismissed as agents of ‘Project Fear’ - might have been right all along.
Imagine the Prime Minister of this country, a former right wing Eurosceptic journalist who recently admitted he answers to The Daily Telegraph and its readership above all others, ‘cracking down’ on the famously communist fifth columnists he worked alongside

But that was before any vote. At the time we all went to the polling stations every sensible person in this country knew they had a simple choice. It was one vote or did those that wanted to leave think they would also have a chance of a second vote

AsI said earlier I am not a mind reader so can't speak for others. I thought it made sense if an advisory vote was being held on an unknown to have confirmation once the detail was sorted.
 
I heard it’s all a gimmick all the fuel they had from COVID needs shifting as it has a lifespan so when we weren’t moving about it stocked up, think it’s shite personally but there you go

Given the timing and we’ve just gone through a summer that had everyone holidaying at home, that would make absolutely no sense. If it was this time last year that theory might hold.
