Don't Panic

[Mark T Jones]

We are spending the weekend in Wiltshire. Some stations are out of fuel - those that have some don't have any queues

The problem is most pronounced in the South East, which begs the question is that down to

1 they are more stupid/selfish

2 there are more of them

3. They need to be more mobile?

Up here in the north east my fuel gauge warning went on Friday about 10:15 pm. Refilled tank Saturday morning, 9:30, no queue and only 5p more than pre-panic price.

Just been out to the recycling and saw people queuing at the shell garage which has a big ‘no fuel’ sign outside.

When I filled up at Tesco last week the bloke in front of me topped up and paid the grand total of £5.

People really are stupid. Or at least they are in Aldershot.

More akin to stupidity I think.

I forgot about that one. The idiots blaming the driver just about sums up this whole fiasco really.

Setting a whole new level of stupid!

Disturbingly, these people are allowed to vote.

Makes you think, perhaps @Newchodge and the commies are right after all.

And because most media organisations have sacked their journalists all they now do is nick stories from each other. You will probably find the whole online thing is automated so they don't even know what they currently report.

The Daily Fail even leaves the American Spellings!

The media likes us to think of each other as stupid. How else will their divide and conquer tactics work, otherwise, when they unveil their plan of 'unity' for all? Don't fall for it - anything you read on the news is a lie and photos are misleading and photoshopped for sensationalism. We'd all do ourselves a huge favour if we stopped giving them traffic i.e. income and rewarding them for their deception and state propaganda.

God help us do they never learn. Government Minister just now tells LBC listeners no need to panic the shelves will be full for Christmas.

Yet again the media sews panic and desperation which results in a problem far bigger than that which may occur - do you never learn.

I would suggest that motto applies to them all. Balanced reporting is a thing of the past.
