Clever how they made up those photos of queues and empty fuel pumps! No-one is saying it is everywhere and all of the time but it certainly isn't made up. It’s not made up as you say but it’s turned into something made a whole lot worse by the news outlets 100%. Can you imagine the likes of Kay Burley just sitting on her arse saying well not much is happening today so I’m off bye.. Not a chance they just shit stir and add their own spin to everything without having the full facts. Meanwhile this Government are happy to take zero responsibility for a problem that was building many months ago and have not done anything to address. Yes, the media always play a role, but is it any likely that people panic as well as have no trust in what this Government tell us? They have lied about virtually everything else and have encouraged a culture of fear and panic in the public for the last 18 months. As soon as ministers started screaming 'Don't Panic!!!' on their twitter accounts, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

Just seen a video of a numb nut woman going into a garage buying water, emptying the water then filling the bottle full of petrol if that’s not a recipe for disaster I’m not sure what is.
Pathetic

And the news is: Motorists have been beset by chaos as petrol stations across the country faced shortages due to a lack of lorry drivers to get fuel to the pumps. Er no it’s greedy thick empty headed buffoons being greedy and believing everything they read, there should be repercussions for basically lying.

BP, Texaco, Shell, Esso and multi multi multi billion pound companies short of drivers cos they only want to pay £13 a hour and expect the new drivers to stump up the £7k training costs thats just bollocks I worked on the railway when the shunters went on a strike / work to rule so they trained up all managers above a certain level to do it to keep the business running but yeah the fucking governments fault these companies couldn't be arsed to run a trainee scheme to recruit drivers in the what 5 years since the brexit vote.

Purely media induced panic to get clicks. The public will catch up with reality soon and things will be fine again by Friday. Unless the media find another way to get everyone queuing again. However the focus will turn to lack of some unimportant shit for Christmas not being available, turkey, crackers, plastic tat or some other shit we don’t need. God humans are tossers, a couple of hundred years and we’ll have wiped ourselves off the planet. I think a couple of hundred years is a bit optimistic. True😂

I was staying in the castle at Portmerion last night, a farmer turned up at the restaurant in his tractor and him and his wife got out and came on the restaurant, probably got no fuel in his car, quite funny everyone stopped and staring out of the window at him parking it up.

In that case perhaps the Tories (who clearly must never ever be criticised) should have levied a tax levied on the oil companies to pay for the training required to fund the consequences of Brexit if the oil companies weren't going to do it themselves. Did you support the shunters striking/ working to rule, or are wage increases only acceptable when perceived as a benefit of Brexit?

If you ignor the morons filling up multiple jerry cans and plastic shopping bags i think people were just responding to government advice. Dont leave home if you have less than a quarter tank was advice guaranteed to create the public response weve seen

Who said they can't be criticised, knock yourself out but like Tony Scholes on here when players turn out to be wank perhaps criticise them for things they control. The government already puts a tax on large companies the apprenticeship levy which companies can claim the cost back to train up their staff just guessing but those oil companies probably just spent it on mbas for the chinless wonders. As for the shunters what a weird question to try and relate it to brexit, people are entitled to strike just as they are entitled to punch themselves in the face, going on strike just after a company lost its biggest and most profitable contract is probably more the later as I was working out my notice at that point under an agreed redundo settlement I told them I was happy to go on the training course if they wished but there was zero chance I would be putting the training into practice so they wisely decided not to send me on the course.

The truth at last:
Under normal circumstances supply can easily meet demand," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, explaining that consumer activity was the main driver. "Lots of people have filled up their tanks now, so you might actually see a dip in demand and the replenishment of fuel at petrol stations is a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week job, so as we speak the petrol stations are being replenished," he added. Fuel supplies are plentiful at refineries but a shortage of tanker drivers caused problems with deliveries to a small number of filling stations last week. Reports of pumps running dry at some garages then subsequently led to a surge in demand.

Stafford services south has both , petrol £1.60, diesel, £1.63. Strangely no que Service stations on the motorway get prioritised by fuel companies, we've gone from delivering predominately to supermarket forecourts to delivering to motorway service stations, bus companies and haulage companies instead.......
