AIBU to think that the media focus on 'panic buying' switches the blame from the utter mess that the Conservative government have made of Brexit (lack of a workforce) - to 'us' for panic buying.

What a shit show, I can't believe that we are struggling to get something as basic as petrol and having to put in place a system to bring in drivers from abroad.
So much for 'Great' Britain.

Yep, they can bring in cheap labour to exploit and ... hey look we aren't taking about Andew anymore, just as he's accepted service and going to (civil) trial.

Well now, would you look at that. 🤔

Anyone else remember "Yes (Prime) Minister"?

The root cause is no one trusts this government. No matter how "fun" Boris is.

The second they announced there was no need to panic, people knew they were lying.

For gods sake it was only 2 weeks ago they whacked up NI and froze the pension lock - despite a manifesto pledge they wouldn't. Why in the name of all that is Holy would anyone believe a word they say now. Especially (as with so many people buying fuel) if your livelihood and family depended on it.

Its the government to blame.
