However incompetent the current government is, the last 18mths have proven that they're experts at getting the public to blame anyone but them, and to start fighting amongst themselves.
Is it beyond the wit of reason that the government may have played a blinder here?
If they were aware that fuel shortages were about to become a thing, it seems like a tactic right out of their playbook to stress that supplies are sufficient whilst doing just enough to incite panic buying.
Hey presto, the fuel shortages that may have been happening anyway occur, yet the blame is laid at the feet of the general public, rather than the government or Brexit... |  |

What fuel shortages? There aren't any. Only delivery issues.

Well quite, when the media and Government shout 'no need to panic buy' they know full well that panic buy is exactly what the majority of people will do. It's just totally irresponsible and I believe quite intentional. |  | | |

FFS. There aren't any fuel shortages.
There were 5 BP and 2 Tesco forecourts closed on Thursday due to delivery issues. The media set everyone off panic being and that has led to shortages at the pumps. |  |

I blame 'the media' too. If they hadn't conned gullible 52% into believing that foreign workers were a bad thing, we might have avoided this mess. |  |

I honestly think we need a panic buying law for the media to follow. The last 18 months have proved the general population (on average) is not smart enough to act responsibly. There is no more of a problem now than there has been in the last 3 months. It's just the daily mail readers are sucked in by the alarmism.
To me, it also massively highlights the need to go harder on green energy sooner. It's ridiculous we extract and refine hydrocarbons, distribute them around the world for people to put in the cars instead of using green public transport or indeed electric cars.
Madness. |  |
