Reuters: UK panic buying, up to 90% of fuel pumps dry
A warning not to panic buy seems to have fallen on deaf ears in the UK. As up to 90% of fuel stations ran dry across major English cities on Monday (September 27).
The rush to fill up deepened a supply chain crisis triggered by a shortage of truckers.
Retailers are now warning the issue could batter the world's fifth-largest economy.

And has left consumers fearing price rises in the run up to Christmas.

There are no fuel shortages in Britain. This was a rumour spread by remainers in the establishment who despise their own country & want to destroy it. They want Britain to be a region of the the EUSSR. They knew they'd spark panic buying of fuel just like the started panic buying of rice, pasta & big roll earlier this year. Keep ducking 🙈
