Typical Daily Mail disaster story. The fuel thing is overblown, but this is how people react. I went to fill up yesterday as I was running low and it was full of people panic buying. I noticed that most of them were over-60. They can't get rid of that post-war memory that they were born into of their parents rationing and the shortages. They remember the 70s as well.
There is no shortage of fuel but the lack of lorry drivers is causing considerable issues across various supply chains. It's a good time to drive HGV, I know guys making £1000 extra per month. I think lorry driver numbers have been steadily falling even across Europe. It's not an easy job, and fewer want to do it. Covid also essentially stopped thousands of people taking the HGV test. It's a bad combination.
The media are to blame for this, they run it as a headline story in the tabloids and on the same day people panic, because that is what we do, like a bunch of lemmings.
