He is educated.

He's not stupid either.

Workshy, lazy, lacking in attention to detail, self-serving, dishonest, egocentric, lacking in empathy and morals... well that's another story!

And I didn't disagree with that.

I just said is he intelligent? You don't need to be intelligent to get qualifications in many areas, especially stuff like classics - just regurgitate stuff you've been told. I got some good marks at uni for repeating a bunch of nonsense I got told in lectures. Had I actually written the more considered argument I wanted to I'd have got worse grades.

Didn't mention him being a c***, but you're right about that.

You can be stupid at some things and clever at others.

For example Johnson is clever at manipulating people and taking advantage of opportunities to advance himself.

Johnson is stupid in understanding what it is that people and society actually need, arguably because he comes from a privileged position and thus has no experience of what it's like. He comes from that class that are brought up to look down upon those in lower social classes etc as beneath them and thus obviously less intelligent. He's blinded by ingrained prejudices.

The head of AA said yesterday that there's no fuel shortage and driver shortages in this particular sector were localised (most HGV drivers don't have dangerous goods )

Yes we need more drivers , but please don't play down the role of mainstream media and local media in helping to create this panic buying .. FACTS are that there would be plenty of fuel still if people weren't behaving like absolute weapons.

Fill up as usual .. it's really not difficult, we saw the same thing with toilet roll early pandemic

The government knew exactly what would be written and were happy with it going out, as they knew this would be the exact outcome.


It’ll come as no surprise to anyone that the price at the pump will rocket in the coming days and weeks.

TBF education level is the best predictor of vote these days. It’s not going to stop being used.

No degree here 👋

Just to be a little bit self-congratulatory, I've just finished a 6 year part-time open uni Computing and IT degree this week. For 2 years of it I worked 4 night shifts at Sainsburys and looked after my pre school age kids during the week meaning sun/Monday I'd stay up for 24 hours straight. Must have pushed the share price of monster energy up over those years. I'm the first in my family to get a degree, I'm well chuffed with myself cos I thought it was a dream that I could get a job writing code. Now it's my day job. It's been hard work but I'm so happy I've done it.

You should be proper proud mate. Top work.

Great time to get into tech as well, WFH has blown the job market wide open.

Cheers, looking for something with some working from home now. Nice to feel like I have options though.

There were many times I felt like I wouldn't make it. Which is why I changed my profile pic on here to Shaqem Griffin, if a man with one hand can find the determination to make it as pro NFL player despite the challenges stacked against him, I really had no excuses. That concludes my TED talk, back to the arguing.

BP saying things had got a little tight for a very insignificant number of their stations kicked it all off. Media fully to blame, panic buyers to drag us under.

Exactly, the media stir it up and cause it. Have reporters ready to stand by petrol stations and show a queue.

Mention Brexit and it just gets people foaming and not thinking properly. This thread shows that people don't want logic, they want to be angry about Brexit.

It's in danger of becoming a crisis in this household. First they lost my blood test results that I did in the height of Covid last year, then I had to wait an eternity for an appointment because of a shortage of vials, and now I have to trust to fumes to get me to and from the hospital for my appointment, as I'm buggered if I can find any diesel close to me...

Got in this morning, heading to Scunthorpe/Doncaster/Grimsby, I was told to go via Northampton services, as motorway service fuel stations are only open to HGV’s. Why would I do that? Watford Gap? Still, wrong direction and I’d still have to continue to N’ton to turn around. I’m currently stuck at Donington in a very slow queue. I’m not exactly delivering blood, so I’m quite happy to turn around and go back.

Need rubber bullets on people filling multiple jerry cans too.

There's no petrol crisis, there were people on the m25.

So the initial problems with fuel supply (BP garages having to close etc) which happened before the panic buying took off - that wasn’t a valid news story in your eyes? The media should have ignored it?

Look at how it is being spun. I know you have some strange alliance with the media and places like the Telegraph but they have been scaring people to try and whip something up that isn't there.

Surely that's obvious? It was a few garages who couldn't get fuel delivered so had to close the forecourt. That's miles away from all the shite since with people thinking the world is going to end and queuing up for hours to get fuel.

It seems the only people who can't see this are the ones who want to cry over Brexit for everything and anything.

Switch the TV on and see how the mass hysteria is being whipped up.

The actual articles 3 days ago are fairly balanced but the headline easily created a panic - a handful of BP closed all other companies said they were full of petrol and had no HGV shortages to maintain normal supply

Yeah but we’ve had enough of experts.
