When you see all that is going on in the uk it makes you realize the there is definitely no longer a great in Great Britain.
But unfortunately the cause of this all happened decades ago.
There was a time when Great Britain couldnt be defeated in war.
Its all different now
Just like the Romans

Indeed. The media have whipped up this panic buying and are complete eejits
Ah it was the media's fault that some petrol stations had delivery issues and some pumps went dry.
Possibly,but I had heard these issues 2 weeks ago in Central Scotland, no Hullabaloo there or then.
Did prompt me to look at farm fuel situation right enough.
Nope all that has happened is the pressure built closer to the metropolis and it got reported.
Ironic though is it not that indigenous population freedom of movement has been lost due the loss of that freedom of movement to others, and some pin their hopes on 5500 3 month visas.
Goodluck with that.

Why would anyone want to go driving so they can try and sleep in a layby and have curtain slashed and tanks drained in the night.
We are becoming the country we deserve to be.

Folk are panic buying down here in style. If no one had done so supplies would probably be ok. Maybe a few odd issues but the reporting has just scared the lemmings and so it begins.

I suppose for every 1000 people you need x amount of lorry drivers to shift all their food and goods around the country/world. The growing population requires more drivers but the growing population doesn't want to do it themselves.

Times have changed. Years ago we all on here would have grafted on a weekend or after school.

They don't want to know today.

Same as the East Europeans... Picking veg?... There ideas have changed.
