The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[oldius]

Did you read the thread I posted above?

The troubles in the Haulage industry have been brewing for years, but suddenly everyone is using Brexit as an excuse when it really isn't.

The head of the hauliers association said that Brexit is a leading factor. A major haulier just interviewed on Channel 4 news said that Brexit was a leading factor in his loss of 25 of his 30 HGV drivers.

Panic buying on pasta led me to discovering cous cous - very nice it is too - every cloud and all that………

It's the excuse they've been waiting for to hide decades of mismanagement of the industry.

He was actually talking about a range of issues that have affected the industry and putting solutions to the interviewer. He said Brexit was a major factor, as did the haulier, but did not say that it was the only one.

Many European nations have shortages in the industry including Poland. That certainly isn't the fault of Brexit.

Todiy in the UK we have X number of hgv drivers.
If we had X +15,000 would the current situation be improved?

It might be but there'd still be queues of greedy bastards who wouldn't believe there were 15000 extras!

I didn’t say extra fuel being bought. Although it is possible that people are filling up fully whereas normally they might only put a smaller amount in at a time.

Same thing. They arent going further, so it will level out

Did the government tell you how to vote or did you just follow the sheep. Could have sworn Cameron wanted to stay whereas Corbyn...

Cameron should never have put it to the people. It was an internal tory party row he thought he would fix by putting it a referendum. Anyway, once voted on the government should have managed it better than just letting this current bag of shit come in and take control if their party and simply refuse to negotiate on anything important. So it is the govts fault, from start to end including let two influential figures in it in Gove and Johnson play along in convincing the fucktards that 300m a month could go the NHS which are now selling off anyway.
