We have run out of petrol

Stupid people.

BP ran out of fuel in a handful of stations due to a lorry driver shortage, and the media started publishing about fuel shortages here

Now it has all been panic bought, and I don’t have enough fuel!

Just going to have my coffee and go to the local filling station

Ridiculous - people are so selfish

Mate. The absurdity of the modern human continues to suprise me. Like if you just get your regular petrol it’s no drama but these idiots just don’t think. Every lockdown we go through now has grocery stores out of product…it just does my head in…Good luck with getting your petrol and sorry for the rant!

I don’t think I’ve seen a gas station actually out of gas in my lifetime.

As a child I just assumed they were all linked to some huge underground source.

This what you get with a mix of jingoism/toxic nationalism and narcissistic arrogance . Empty supermarket shelves and petrol shortages. It’s a total f*** up.

As soon as there is a rumor people start hoarding. I remember the same with toilet paper during the lockdown.

This has nothing to do with Brexit

The problem is that BP had 20 stations shut out of 1,200, and the BBC put on their website ‘Fuel Shortages’ and people have been panic buying.

Brexit has caused the lorry driver shortage, but running out of fuel is just people being greedy
