The Government appear to be afraid
to talk about this.? (Alastair Campbell Guest Presenting on GMBHD itv)

No Minister on AM TV?

Labour only concerned about their Conference.
The Labour Leader, not giving Any Interviews until Thursday
after his long speech on Weds?

If the forecourts had put a limit on the amount that could be bought...that would resolve the issue in no time, instead they put prices up and raked it in

[bots]

the problem is quite clearly the media, the hauliers association and ultimately panic buyers.

We have had the same number of lorry drivers for months and no particular delivery issues anywhere, then the hauliers and the media decided to stir it up. It's a free country and all that, but there should be some consequences for the media for creating and feeding their own news stories

The issue is the same as ever; just because there is no overall shortage, doesn't mean there hasn't been a knock-on effect on supply/demand, panic buying at first was needless but once it's snowballed, it's no longer irrational. It *is* difficult to get fuel in some places, because people are buying it all up. When someone who needs to drive for their commute (e.g. my wife is a 40 minute drive to work) and they've just driven past two fuel stations that are out of fuel, you can hardly blame then for filling the tank when they reach the 3rd one.

For us we haven't actually done anything out of the ordinary, we fill 'til the pump clicks every Sunday evening and that's exactly what we did this week, but for people who normally only put in a set amount in £ or fill to half ... ... I can't blame them filling up a bit more than usual at the moment.

i dont blame people for filling up either if they need their car for work, however for people whose cars are sat on driveways full to the brim ..just in case; and people filling water bottles with extra I do blame them

There was a guy on our next door app offering people the opportunity to siphon off fuel from his cars ...on the face of it a very generous gesture but he had obviously been out filling up his 'cars' with no obvious need to.

People are stupid sometimes... Stupid and selfish.

I'm interested to see how the recruitment of foreign drivers goes, considering the massive shortages of HGV drivers right across Europe.

No way are any drivers coming over for literally 3 months, especially if they have a job already, for starters they would need to find accommodation. That is fine for seasonal workers where accommodation is already on site at farms and such, this is not going to happen
