    Or misguided class warriors who attack the wrong people, thereby prolonging their own subjugation.

    Good job I’m not a believer -
    Pestilence - had enough of COVID yet?
    Famine - THERE ARE NO SHORTAGES - but you can’t actually buy stuff because it isn’t being delivered. A technical difference.
    War - lets buddy up with the yanks and the Aussies to fight the Chinese. Or the French. Or a resurgent Al Qaeda in Afghanistan
    Death - let’s forget COVID, at current rates it will take ten years to make up for the 19,500 undiagnosed cases of cancer from the last 18 months.

    The four horsemen of the apocalypse have arrived. But there was a fifth rider…..

    ….. we have Boris, on his white horse with his crown and sword to spread the word. About free markets, levelling up…..blah, blah, blah. Although some religious scholars identify that figure as the anti christ. Or possibly climate change.

    It feels like we are back in 1973. What is happening to gas prices is just as extreme as what happened to oil prices, and that changed the world. Buckle up, some wild times ahead. Stagflation and financial crisis anyone?

    I’m just going to ignore it and hope it goes away.

    If serial liar Boris Johnson says there's no need for people to panic-buy, what are they going to think?

    They’ve created a self fulfilling prophecy though. There is a tiny shortage at the moment which we should ignore, but saying ‘we have plenty of petrol in the refineries’ is idiotic. We don’t need the petrol in the refineries. Now talk of getting the army in to drive tankers because of the shortage of drivers. That talk also stirs up panic. If people could hoard gas they would be doing that too, that market is totally out of control.

    Johnson’s response to all this is to tell the haulage companies to ‘pay your drivers more’ which sounds great. But that doesn’t actually solve the shortage of drivers, and ultimately it will just add to inflation which, as always, falls hardest in the poorest. But that’s capitalism.

    The government can’t be blamed for all the **** which is going on, but it is remarkable how they sit, as if hypnotised by a cobra, waiting for the next crisis to be upon us before actually doing anything, time after time.

    To be fair though G, they (the government) would be damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
    I pay the blame firmly in the court f the sensationalist media that just want their front page headlines.

    The petrol stuff, agreed. The overall HGV issues and the gas prices and retailer stuff were both predictable and had in fact been predicted, but apparently there was no thinking done in Whitehall before the **** hit the fan.
