Local petrol gos up quicker than you can fill your tank

Petrol is £1.92 .9 and diesel £ 1.99.9 , not on a large sign but on the pump . It jumped 12p and litre in 5 hours, it’s total madness . It changes quick than the weather.

Price may not be the only problem next month.

Just read about Extinction Rebellion's plan to have mass protests and blockade oil refineries across the UK, just what we need at this moment in time.

I hope that the Police are taking note and drawing up action plans to deal with these idiots severely.

Spoke to a Police officer about ER and he said they now have to have a special anti protestor unit with all the special kit and solvents so they can remove them (or a few lorry drivers).

The whole place has gone mad , not even the movies would come up with this utter madness storyline. It’s come to the boil with Boris and it’s catching, I thought being a covid victim was bad . Being a victim of Boris and Putin will have a greater long term effect on us all, it’s getting close to a breaking point. Youll soon be unable to drive to work and with the only proper hospital 130miles away what hope have we. Watch out for those trying to profit from the crisis and remember them when it’s over . It’s nearly £9.00 and gallon ,remember when the Tories said “ voting Labour would see petrol at £5.00 a gallon ,that would destroy Britain’s economy and your standard of living “. That was Boris is 2009 ,cheerleading for the Tories.

...Watch out for those trying to profit from the crisis and remember them when it’s over...

They already are, the oil producers are raking it in, I doubt their costs of production have gone up so why charge more other than for profiteering.
If there's shortages then ration it fairly not by pricing those who can't afford it out.

Yes the world has gone mad.
