The last week in the UK as seen panic over the idea of a possible petrol shortage. This panic has led to queueing at petrol station forecourts and stations running out of fuel, in one case it even led to a woman suffering serious burns after decanting fuel in her own kitchen.
Even though no strike action is yet confirmed, Britons do love to panic and create drama, it makes them feel like they have important stuff to do. Looking at it logically, if everyone was just sensible then the chances of running out of fuel would be lower than everyone stocking up on fuel "just in case".
With this coalition governments lack of leadership skills, they have done very little to dispel the panic. One MP even suggested storing fuel at our homes! Talk about the blind, leading the blind!
