In the news

It's hard to make headlines about retrofit and insulation, but it's a pretty big priority.

Waiting for the reveal they are an astroturf front for "Big Fiberglass"

It's something the UK is way behind on. And ignoring the environmental benefits, it could save a lot of vulnerable people money and improve their quality of life for relatively little government spend.

PIRluminati confirmed

Hah that’s good

They don't seem to be getting through to middle England

Fuck yeah. Rockwool for the win.

Good Morning Britain is a disgrace though

On this I can agree

The TV-AM version had an awesome opening sequence

20 car queue to get onto the forecourt of the petrol station near me just now.
Did we learn nothing from the first lockdown hoarding (rhetorical question)

(FTR I was cycling past it.)

we learn

Depends what you mean by we. I don't think the sort of people who panic-buy petrol and bog roll are very good at learning things.

Ditto, with selfish driver sideways across the main road that connects the RoW to Ruislip.
FTR, also on a pushbike.

I need to drive 250 miles today and only have enough petrol for about a quarter of that. I'm seeing some queueing in my future.

I’ve just been out for a ride at lunchtime and every single petrol station I passed had long queues, blocking the roads. Crazy.

Well. Not that anyone is surprised...

All these people wasting petrol queuing for petrol, so their car has petrol that they probably won't drive because they don't want to use the petrol and have to go back for more petrol... Mental.

I've just been past 2 petrol stations both with 20 + cars queuing to get in (Kidbrooke area).

The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, vowed to “move heaven and earth” to solve the nationwide shortage of truck drivers. Asked about the Petrol Retailers Association warning drivers to keep a quarter of a tank of fuel in their car in case forecourts ran out, he downplayed the issue and said motorists should “carry on as normal” and not panic-buy.

yeah yeah - cue queues ...

My local station was busy last night and only one pump out of 6 with fuel left.

"There is no fuel shortage" - what about the driver shortage though?

Fuck me, it's all going a bit mental over there, eh?

We were promised Mad Max and it looks like the party is finally starting.

I can't believe those Insulate Britain people, it's like a fucking Chris Morris sketch...

Am I tripping? Is there a glitch in the matrix? Crazy...

it's just the same clowns that went to tescos and bought 900 bogrolls because they thought Andrex would become legal tender before the week was through. they'll simmer down soon enough and go back to blaming everyone else for being a cunt for panic buying spaghetti etc.

There's a strong case for using ANPR to find out who specifically is a selfish panic-buying twat
