Brexit, a slow puncture not a car crash
 
Tabloids declared panic, now Petrol Retailers Association are reporting 90% of sites have run dry:

  • Government suspends competition rules in the sector so that companies can share information, considers bringing in the army to assist with deliveries
  • Some members of Petrol Retailers Association are reporting 90% of sites have run dry: Sky; BP Plc says it has run out of fuel at a third of its stations
  • Business lobby group tells government to find quick solutions

Continuing the covid thread tradition, please stop panicking.

All of this is a gigantic shitshow and a "told you so" towards Brexiteers is in order. But:
  • Due to media frenzy it seems like the average petrol station sold a week's worth of petrol during half a day on Friday
  • "some members" of the Petrol Retailers Association report 90% of sites run dry
  • Same link says BP says one third has run dry.
So it's bad. It won't get better, since no one will come to drive a lorry in the UK only to be out of a job by Christmas, when there's a lorry driver shortage within the EU as well. But it's not as bad as you paint it once again :)

Do you at least get Super Over the Top Rah-Rah Patriotism blue passports like the U.S. does? NGL, the artwork on our pages is not worth pissing away a productive and functional relationship with most of our most convenient trading partners but impressive.
