The crisis has begun 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. What a pity ... 😜 Maybe you remember such headlines in newspapers? 👇👇👇

All bollox started by the MSM

Caused by mass media spreading fear and panic including you ?

Metro are part of the ScumMedia they caused the petrol panic

There is NO Fuel shortage, this is purely down to the Press and MSM creating hysteria, ensuring people panic buy, this is on the ScumMedia

U-Turn after U-Turn NeverVoteConservative

Lets not forget the greedy bastard oil companies who have hiked up their fuel prices by 20% when there is NO SHORTAGE OF FUEL AT ALL!!!!

It is called an own goal, you saw what you reap, thanks to Brexiteers this chaos could have been avoided.

Hopefully theurcars will overheat ant they'll explode it would provide some afternoon entertainment whilst getting rid of some r€tards also

This is the loo roll debacle all over again. News reports shortages, shows repeated pictures of people panic buying so everyone else panics and goes to get more than they need making the whole situation much worse.

The headline in Daily_Express saying BorisJohnson 'demands a solution ' - thought he was the solution as PM - heaven help us all!

Me, my son and partner are disabled and rely on our car to get around and can't put fuel in anywhere near me. Selfish is too kind for these morons, greedy more like.

Are they selfish though? If they HAVE to drive to work, & there's a risk they won't be able to get petrol, that's not going to help them.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don't even own a car, yet I have filled five jerry cans with petrol. Anything I can do to make things worse, I'll do. I'm only too happy to help.

Boris Johnson admits tunnel to Northern Ireland ‘not the most immediate’ ambitionBoris Johnson has indicated that his long-held hopes of building a tunnel connecting Northern Ireland to Scotland have been abandoned for now after Treasury pushback. Oh FFS hasn't he dropped that stupid idea yet? I do hope the country isn't still wasting millions on pointless, fruitless logistics exercises, like London did with his daft garden bridge or estuary airport.
