That's the thing though, there isn't a petrol crisis.
All I can tell you is there's a garage at the bottom of my road and when I went past it about 6:30pm there were queues in every direction to get in. They'll be disappointed when they reach the front of the queue as the pumps are closed :confused:

If you need petrol, you need petrol mate. I’m down to a quarter after the football as well. It’s the idiots on half/two thirds of a tank queuing to fill back up when they usually wouldn’t bother until they’re on red, that’s the problem.

At least any car thieves are pretty much guaranteed to have a full tank when they nick anything off peoples drives this weekend.

Im also just wondering if the same petrol station idiots are sat at home with the heating on full blast because they heard energy companies are going bust so they may as well heat their house for winter now, just incase.

Anyway, I’m off to CostCo to get my bogroll in early this time

I also can’t be bothered to queue for an hour to fill up.

I’m lucky that I don’t need it day to day because I don’t commute far or anything. I just need to find a quiet window some time before next Saturday so I can get up to Cov again.

I'm only guessing but I bet theres no queues at motorway service stations.....

.....proving that the panic buyers are not only stupid and selfish but also penny pinchers....

Hoping everyone's filled their car up before I need fuel, because it might actually prove a challenge to get some diesel at this rate...

so as we slide into a winter of chaos created by staggering government incomptence
Well John Redwood actually

Hes a massive clueless twat......but at least his tweet has got a slight whiff of an actual issue that is currently important to the people of the country.....even if hes talking utter drivel.....

Meanwhile, the "opposition" (ha) "leader" (ha ha) is tackling the big issues....


..hard hitting as usual from the nowhere man.......how the fuck have we had 11 years of constant tory clusterfuck, ably aided by the liberal democrats (who are neither liberal nor democratic).....and we've still got zero vialble opposition.....

Its so farcical now its actually funny.....

Who'd vote for these chumps? Genuinely not a chance I'll vote for new Labour mk II



We've just been in an economic shock event equivalent to WW2 with rising poverty and reducing living standards, broken energy markets, public services struggling after years of obliteration and this drivel is all they can come up with.

Arent they the same fiscal rules that McDonnell had (borrow for capital, tax for ongoing costs)?

Nick Robinson was still giving it the old “where will you get the money from?” Stuff to her this morning so not sure it’ll make much difference in messaging either.

TBH I’m pretty much done with the party at this point. Going back to my approach 2005-2015 of barely voting and sniping from the sidelines I think.

She's too right wing for me but she's a much better media/public performer than Starmer I'll give her that.

She is, though seeing her still get the treatment of “OMG you’ll spend all the money” and not pointing out that historically it’s the Labour Party governments that pay down debt and run surpluses (if that’s what you’re into) annoys me.

(Awaits Grendel post about GFC as if it means something about government fiscal competence)
