    <doh> Nothing like proper factual inaccuracy from the brain dead crazed Leftie living in Sadiq Khan’s Londonistan...

    You really should move into Jeremy Corbyn’s allotment shed with all the illegal immigrants that he has weeding his cabbage patch.

    Clearly you were in a hallucinogen induced haze when it did happen. Is ‘late 20s’ your brain cell count?

    “Crisis? What Crisis?” was a headline in the Sun newspaper when James Callaghan returned from a summit in the West Indies in 1979 to find all the truck drivers on strike along with half the unionised public sector. It is more commonly known as the Winter of Discontent. The old Labour dinosaurs were subsequently retired by a public that recognised the failure of Socialism.

    So it is the German Elections today and also the Berlin Marathon, is that not weird to have them both on the same day?

    Will they be taking the knee at the Berlin Snickers event?

    Take a hell of a long time to complete the race if they do.

    There is no petrol shortage. There is a shortage of drivers to deliver it to petrol stations, especially those operated by BP, who seem to be the ones that have instigated this panic.

    Idiots that rush out and fill their tank are creating the shortages because the dry stations will have to close until the next delivery can be made.

    During lockdown HGV license testing centres were closed causing a backlog.

    Like everything it's the Government's fault for locking everything down for no reason .

    The HGV shortage has been an issue for years, well before brexit or covid, and not just in the UK. They simply brought an existing problem to a head.
