    No alpacas or rescue dogs in the cabinet either which is disappointing.

    I feel like having one crazy (or even completely missing) eye really does give you the cutting edge when it comes to climbing the ladder in the world of extremist Islam.

    I'm amazed they get that old considering they've been fighting for two generations.

    This petrol shortage once again demonstrates how many utter selfish morons there are in the UK.

    One can only imagine the chaos if a genuine crisis hit this country.

    I filled up because I was at Asda and the queue was short, but there was a few people getting shirty with each other. 'I was in there!' And yet you're not mate. Interesting.

    The media and the government don't help. The second they say "there's no need to panic buy" it's like the fucking starters pistol.

    I detached the retina in left eye years ago, should I have some anti-radicalisation training?

    I went to BP as my tank was nearly empty, there were signs saying it was a £30 fill max and anyone trying to beat the system was scolded via the PA system

    How do they stop people filling up over the 30 quid?

    The newspapers on this yesterday were a genuine disgrace. I’m tenting in Bournemouth and every single road within two miles of a petrol station yesterday was at a complete standstill.

    And, of course, we will actually run out of fuel if this idiocy keeps up.

    Just went to pick up the shopping from the Click and Collect and the scenes were beautiful. Particularly enjoyed the GAMMON shouting at the people laughing and taking photos of the queue.

    I don't know why they haven't put the price up to £50 a litre for the weekend.

    I went at 5:30am instead of blocking up the whole place like a spastic. Did the shopping and all while I was out so now I’m beached with a coffee and a custard tart and can lol at the plebs on the news later.

    This stuff really makes you realise the far-reaching consequences of the collapse of the media industry. The desperation for clicks / to sell the last few papers leads them to abandon all standards they may once have had.

    Agreed. As retarded and selfish much of the public is, the tabloid media have been an utter disgrace for so long. Which is worrying considering the absolute power they have.

    Another in the Taliban series (from BBC):

    Since taking power in Afghanistan on 15 August, the Taliban have been promising a milder form of rule than in their previous tenure.

    But there have already been numerous reports of human rights abuses carried out across the country.
    A new dawn has broken, has it not.

    Every petrol station I've seen today has been closed, which is annoying since I need some air in my tyres. Why don't they just put the price up when this happens?

    Can't you get pumps that run off the car plug thing?

    Using a bike pump, even a decent one, is a laborious task to say the least.

    The bit I don't understand in this whole thing is why does anyone give a fuck about Christmas turkeys to the point where there is specific emergency legislation for them?

    I have half a tank to drive to work on, hope it lasts me long enough for this shit to be sorted out or else it's a three-train extravaganza. Time for a bit of lift and coast into roundabouts.

    I didn’t even think there was a petrol shortage announced. Have we gone full American and people heard there was a potential gas shortage and ran to the local Esso?

    Some BPs have definitely shut. I'm doing my usual driving till on the last 10 miles on the fuel counter before realising I need to refill it. It's all a big Remain/Tesla/AA con.

    There isn't/wasn't actually a petrol shortage. It's basically a comms disaster. BP said they were closing a couple of far flung stations briefly due to no drivers (which is an established thing), the media went huge on it (as they are desperate for clicks) and it snowballed from there into nationwide panic-buying, which in a collapsed nation with no civil society is both unstoppable and inevitable, as we saw last year.

    At least half the stations in the country are dry right now.

    In short: heads have well and truly gone.

    Petrol is running out, but only because people are being idiots. The supply is normal, demand is through the roof.

    Give it until Wednesday and no cunt will be buying Petrol because they've got a years supply in the shed.

    I’d blame that on bad comms policy but they got the black bloke to announce it so media were never going to listen to his actual words anyway.

    Can’t remember if it was UK or USA but I’ll never get over that video of people putting petrol in plastic bags during the last shortage. A person that stupid should not be alllowed to operate a 1 ton weight that moves at 80mph.

    Remember the fuel strike threat in 2012 when that woman set herself on fire decanting petrol near her oven? Hopefully we get one of those in the next few days.
