Of course it should be discussed in the news, but it has to be done responsibly. Here's a perfect example of how not to do it.  |

And the other petrol station here is now shut. People are idiots.

The press has caused this and will have inconvenienced millions but they’ve sold a few more copies so 🤷♂️

There were a few cars sat waiting when I got to the station today. But only because they couldn't figure out that the pumps have longer hoses to reach both sides. Fuds.
I was nearly empty but only put half a tank in partly because I didn't want to take loads and partly because the car is going in for a bit of work and if it's fucked I don't want to lose a tank full!

That Sun headline explains a lot. Traffic is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Petrol stations have closed in cambridge due to runts panic buying, no doubt it will be food and toilet rolls will be next to panic buy and the scum will have their next front cover.

So sounds like Boris is trying to make an emergency deal with Brazil to get enough turkeys in for Christmas now... Fucking hell, you couldn't make this shit up. Turkey farmer explaining how a lot of media outlets won’t report his situation as he places the shortage directly at the hands of Brexit. The shitstorm coming is beyond comprehension, especially once the rest of the food checks are actually implemented. |

Could we not get the Army (sorry British Army, have to remind any Scots reading) to shoot the turkeys? If they aren't too busy driving ambulances and HGVs.

Panic buying? Disaster capitalists more like. Literally on facebook marketplace near me:
'Going fast, I have 100 Jerry cans full of fuel, £15 each or 2 for £25. No offers I know what it's worth.'
Scum, utter scum.

Absolute dick heads!
We'll (and by that, I don't mean us, I mean they) never learn! I do feel sorry for the 2% of people who legitimately have to fuel up (taxi drivers, er, those going on a trip this weekend). Ah well...cunts!

Seems the general brexity theme on twitter is that the media should be banned from reporting about shortages. Because that's completely normal.

Wandered into town this afternoon.
Both petrol stations out of fuel, massive queue blocking the only street into town. Some angry shouting.
Levelling up, Boris style.

Obviously not, but the gutter press definitely milked it! On this topic of press freedom, I don't think the name or face of school shooters should be published in the US. |

It's the same with serial killers. Don't give them cool names, don't make them seem more interesting than they really are and don't give them the attention they want

That’s what the FBI recommend as well. Focus on the victims, keep the ‘drama’ out of the coverage.

It must be so horrible for the loved ones of victims when they're paraded about in documentaries and dramatisations and everyone is talking about how fascinating they are

Now it's the lead story on the BBC.
There is NO problem. Repeat No problem.
