The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I’ve been availing myself of the offerings at the shops in the district that abuts by somewhat gentrified city centre area, and have been doing for some days now. More nimble on their feet and able to cope better with shifting demand than the big boys it would seem, although I’ve heard the cash and carries are now starting to run low. Frequently the only white guy around whenever I've been up there, which surprised me. People’s survival instincts have become blunted by years of comfortable living.

Probably won’t matter, but crazy they’ve been continuing to look in the wrong place, despite wanting the prize so much.

Been saying this a while - look in the poorer suburbs. Altrincham and didsbury are full of folk with cash or savings or abundant credit on the hip. If youre hand to mouth week by week, it doesnt matter how many bog rolls you want to buy if youve only got a quid left...

Might be less cuddly next time anyone sees me.

Is there any dog food you can eat instead?

I sincerely hope next time we meet you say “you have put weight on you fat fuck - can I buy you a pint”. Nothing would give me greater pleasure.

We'll have another few days of the village idiots panic buying because of the schools closing. Next week, things will plateau out and those that have bought enough Pot Noodles to sink an army can crack on and then make use of the 1000 toilet rolls they've bought. Muppets.

If Darwin was right a lot of the panic buying fuckwits will go once the dying starts.
