Petrol Queues.

What has happened as a result of these actions -if true- is wrong. However I am not going to support locking up people for 12 months for exercising free speech. Why did the editors and owners not intervene to stop the story? Journalists don't work in a vacuum...

Where is the personal responsibility of the UK public to not behave like



There are probably people here who filled up their cars yesterday when they didn't need to.

 

I also heard on the radio that despite the extra hoops the drivers have to go through to get an ADR qualification they can earn more delivering food for the supermarkets so many have left the sector. I also heard something about BP only use a certain type
of tanker trailer which limited them more than others, hence why it was only really a problem for them.

there were people queuing outside the local Shell yesterday afternoon, despite it being closed, word had obliviously got out that a tanker was due, when I passed in the afternoon they were open (with queues) by 9pm they were closed again.

 

The good news is that unlike toilet paper, these clowns cannot fill their lofts and garages with petrol. So soon they will all have filled their cars and that will be that.

 

I didn’t, we’ve got half a tank in the car, that’ll last us a couple weeks probably, my van is another thing, but if I can’t go to work next week because I can’t get fuel, I’ll still get paid so I don’t really give a shit and the customers who don’t see me probably needlessly filled their cars up so they deserve all they get.

 

There is something in the water (never mind the petrol!) in the UK these days. The behaviour and selfishness of the public and of the politicians is a fair match.
All about personal gain, and hoarding, be it wealth or toilet paper.
Prenez une grip!

 

I await the first house fire news story linked to hoarding of fuel in the family bathroom due to nationwide fuel shortages

 

Let’s face it, last year most of them were filling the rafters with bog roll and pasta during the day and then had the audacity to clap for the nurses they’d denied a meal that very evening!

 

I'm a bit rusty with my french but does that mean 'stop being a bunch of easily lead CUNTS'?

Could be wrong mind you

 

Let’s face it - since 1979 the British public have had it drummed into them by politicians and press that it’s their moral duty to only look out for themselves and the Devil take the hindmost. And what an example has been set by this current lot whose corruption and croneyism has made the expenses scandal look like a bit of pilfering from the petty cash. Even worse, unlike the expenses scandal, where at least a few heads did roll, there have been no consequences for the miscreants, with one of the worst perpetrators only losing his job because he was caught snogging his mistress in breach of Covid guidelines!

 

This ^^ it amazed me the same fuckwits banging pans would be the same ones having questionable get togethers till all hours knowing Mrs Ducoo was clearly in uniform leaving / returning each day whilst everyone was staying home counting pasta and bog roll

 

"there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no governments can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first"

 

And she was in thrall to the RHA and increased the transfer of freight from rail to road, helping clog the roads of today.

 

I fully understand your point of view but with emergency services fueling up at local petol stations like the rest of us these days as they've NO independent inhouse fuel stops due to cutbacks or streamlining, it's Reckless free speech.

 

I'm terrified of the Duke. The petrol light just comes on without warning, and given that you've only done about 100 miles from a full tank by then, you can only presume that in 5 miles you'll be walking.
I have PTSD from my BMW, which has run out of petrol on three occasions, showing 40, 52 and 70 miles left on the gauge. The last time I was on the m62 at rush hour. Enough said.

 

So you are happy to believe the Daily Mail and a lying cabinet minister with form?

The Road Haulage Association spokesman Rod Mckenzie told BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House that it was "absolute nonsense" that he was the source of the leak, as reported in the Mail on Sunday.

 

With so many spin doctors on the payroll working their magic out there today, who knows what the truth really's.

 

The truth is being hidden from us by the idiots in charge, though i use the term 'in charge' very loosely as once again our esteemed leader has gone missing in a crisis....hopefully this one might bring him down.

 

Exactly this. And anything/anyone that questions whatever propaganda is being used that week gets labelled as a conspiracy despite the fact the outlets stands often changes like your underwear. And nobody seems to question this. But obviously it’s still right “becoz the expertz said it init”
