SO is it safe to say…diesel thefts will be on the rise…soon? Maybe desperate ordinary citizens will see themselves forced to start doing the unthinkable, just so they can feed their kids and drive them to school?
A lot of garages round here have put a £30 limit on fuel is this happening elsewhere?

Yes. I guess it won’t stop THEM from queueing multiple times causing even longer queues/traffic jams. Also at £1.65 per liter it’s only about 18l?
There is no fuel crisis … The only crisis is with the remainers causing these panics,they have never stopped whining about brexit
They’re behind this, the Scum media are right at the front of this ■■■■■■■■ !!!
Supply and demand will cause price hikes that is what they want!! Then blame brexit it ■■■■■■■ stinks
People really are ■■■■■■■ gullible…
Who’s to blame? Someone with a vested interest I’d say, the same someone who then “leaked” to the press, leading to the press doing what they always do in their desperation to sell more copy.

Watch and weep as a woman empties water bottles that she’s just bought so she can fill the bottles with petrol
I can’t believe she poured the (cold) water into a bin! [emoji2357]
I’ve had an idea . Go round collecting all driver tizer bottles that are discarded. And stand at petrol station selling it all looks same colour as fuel thed never know

I can’t believe you find that the most shocking part of the video

Would it be better if it was warm water??
Petrol will probably eat away at that plastic pretty quickly,
obviously something has eaten away at her brain 
Anyway the silly moo should be beaten to death with a (full) petrol can…

So you are saying that there is a current crisis?
I certainly never said said there was, but clearly did refer to the 2000 one.
.
If Jo or Joe can’t get fuel to go to work then I reckon that counts as a crisis. I agree there shouldn’t be one because there is no shortage of fuel at the refinery but if the public don’t accept that…well here we are.
.
Ok, don’t blame it on Starmer or Corbyn, blame the BBC…
Can’t possibly be anything to do with Government can it?It’s the media that is saying there is a crisis not me I can see there isn’t
You keep saying blame the government so come on explain their role in causing this, there is no shortage of tanker drivers so what is the governments role in this supplies were working fine then suddenly not how is that the governments fault? There was a problem with a handful of fuel stations in the SE did the government cause the supplies to these stations to stop?I repeat,
No matter the initial cause, it is a Gov job to deal with things like this.
It is as simple as that.
.
If people can’t fill their cars then there IS a problem, whether you choose to see it or not.
.
Have you not listened to thst clip yet?What could the government have done to allevaite this in such a short space of time couple of stations with no fuel Friday mass panic by Saturday morning from the public, but all the time there is no shortage of fuel or drivers perhaps deployed the army? how would that have calmed people’s fears? Perhaps they could have deployed a copper to each queue and had them turn away everyone who had more than half a tank, this was caused by the media going into overdrive over a non event and the gullabilty of the public to believe everything the media tells them remember not so long ago how we were going to run out of bog roll and pasta.
There was an old Jimmy Stewart film, where there was a run on a bank. Things looked bad and every one would lose in the end if the bank was bust.
Well, Jimmy was a character trusted by his fellow citizens, he spoke common sense, and calmed the crowd with eloquence. The run was stopped and disaster was averted.
.
.
Nah, you’re right.
Johnson ain’t got a chance.
Well

I don’t know how many of those are actually recent though and caused by queues

Hate to burst your bubble but that couldn’t have been true as it wasn’t in colour, once the media had gone into overdrive any action taken by any government wasn’t going to have much effect remember Northern Rock perhaps Labour could of shown ‘A wonderful Life’ to stop that, once these things take hold it’s very hard to stop regardless of who is in power the herd mentality is far more powerful than common sense and the more people in power tell the public there isn’t a problem then the more the public disbelieve them, Brown had many faults but I don’t think untrustworthy was one of them yet no one believed him

Interesting comparison.
Brown and the very real 2008 global recession.
Johnson and… how did you describe it?

The recession started after the bank run so at the time the public did not know what was around the corner Brown more than likely had an inkling yet couldn’t persuade people to stop. The point of the comparison is that once a run starts it is very hard to stop regardless of who is in charge. Finally the BBC has just reported that it was all down to public behaviour.
If you tell people not to panic buy fuel, the first thing people generally do is panic buy fuel, this isn’t a new thing. Perhaps reverse psychology is in order. Tell people to panic buy as much as they can as the impending doom is nigh, then they probably wouldn’t bother.
I think this weekend will be bad.
As people on monthly pay will be getting paid so there going to fill there’s cars up while they have the money.
Plus your then get the others that filled up filling up again even if they don’t need any.
