The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Keith Moncrieff]

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

Not if their energy supplier has gone tits up and they’ve moved onto a higher tariff. Tesla drivers are twats anyway

No it's not. It's people buying petrol when they don't need to. It's just an easy go to to angry people on the internet.

If there's plenty of fuel and it's a minor issue that a small percentage of stations are waiting for a delivery, why is it headline news?

Why shouldn't it be? It's not the press' fault some people are idiots. Blaming the press is just lazy. No one has ownership anymore.

...because they have nothing better to report on or sesationalise....honestly, if i worked in the media today,I'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone.

Single biggest factor for the lack of HGV drivers is retirement. 30 years ago they’d be people wanting to become an HGV driver, instead people want to be an ‘influencer’, be on a reality show or go to university to take Surf Studies or degrees in Coronation Street.

It is the media making a small issue into an enormous one
8000 petrol stations and only 100 were out of fuel until the panic buying
Hopefully all the dickheads will have fuelled up by Tuesday as that's when I'll need to tank up

you’re planning to get Petrol ?! Selfish prick!!!!

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.
