Pathetic if they fold on this, skilled labour ffs !!! can we not even train up some truck drivers 🤷‍♂️. RHA with a bit of media assistance get access to cheap labour from the EU. No hope unless this country starts to invest in its people for the long haul. 
 

Maybe the whole thing is deliberate, BP want cheap drivers so they shut a few petrol pumps and let the news get out "don't panic", half the country panic buys, and BP get their eastern european workers?

This!
Possibly BP, possibly the RHA, possibly linked to some form of opposition politics - basically it’s a load of spin to achieve a goal, and Joe-public have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

@Johnsond - should this be in the windturbine thread?

Just filled the Landy up, it’s midnight and its absolute carnage at the forecourt, on the edge of fisticuffs.

A high sided Gypo wagon with the ugliest fat birds that you ever seen are passing over Jerry cans to be filled up, they must have 500 litres in the back.

I only fill up once a week, I drove to work this morning with the idea to fill up on the way home as usual, I hadn’t been watching the news so have been caught off guard, all the forecourts where rammed and I got home on vapour.

Ask the public to take an experimental vax, wear masks, stay home, don’t go to funerals, leave loved ones to die alone, no problem, full compliance. Ask them not to panic buy fuel, mass hysteria, and as usual, it’s the EU’s fault.

At least that amazing free trade agreement with the USA is going well 😂. Biden certainly shot a dose of reality into these negotiations, poor Doris.

Aye, It's a shame that they reckoned on the Wotsit Mussolini getting another term. Biden is doing good things for America in terms of social provision. It's a shame that we elected a muppet to represent us.

I don’t see many skinny starving citizens on my travels 🤷‍♂️Bit of rationing might undo the damage caused by an excess of whatever people want and at same time ease burden on the NHS. Latest shit I’ve seen is dire warnings of 10 days to save Xmas ffs. It must be so easy  for those writing the headlines to see what rubbish they can spoon feed to the masses.

We should instigate a wealth tax, anyone with over a hundred million has to give 40% away. That would sort it.

Yes I agree, you seem to think you are the only one to know it though. 'We've' been played for time immemorial.
