People idling their cages queuing to get petrol

Independent.ie on Twitter: “BP says nearly a third of its British petrol stations have run out of fuel as motorists queue for hours to fill up https://t.co/TsBxrUCMhB” / Twitter

Society is only ever one little event away from breakdown

Its a credit to the lizard people that they kept us on the straight and narrow for so long.

Two missed meals they say. Two missed meals.

What’s the cause of the shortages? Is it just a temporary supply chain issue?

Drivers.

Hopefully it will soon get to the stage where people no longer underestimate forklift operators.

They got rid of all the immigrants who were stealing their jobs, but it turns out the Brits don’t really fancy the jobs they were stealing, so now they are on a recruitment drive to find more immigrants.

FROM A FRIEND IN BLIGHTY
Most petrol stations in Liverpool now closed. I just got a 30 quid ration from ASDA after queuing for an hour. I expect the city will run out of fuel by nightfall. Still, at least we can get the children a blue passport now and the unelected Brussels elite no longer treat us like vassals. Oven ready…

It’s not just the UK, the whole of Europe is approaching an energy crisis. There is a massive disruption in energy markets due to moronic policy decisions. You are looking at severe shortages and shutdown of large parts of the economy such as fertilizers and chemicals this winter ,and potentially large scale food shortages.

This crisis is entirely the doing of utterly incompetent European politicians who believed you could switch from a fossil fuel economy to renewables in a few years, when the backbone of the economy is still hydrocarbons. The Dutch are looking at reopening the Groningen gas field, the largest in Europe after recently announcing its complete shutdown by 2023.

Meanwhile China has hit a 5 year oil consumption peak and their emissions exceed the US and Europe combined.

Putin now holds all the cards, a wonderful position for Europe to be in.
