The clock is ticking

90% of petrol stations in the south east are, as of this morning, dry.

No fuel for people, businesses or emergency services.

No fuel for delivery trucks that supply our shops, meaning that unless confidence in supplies isn't restored soon, then shops will quickly run out of supplies too.

Already people who work in social care, doing home visits are calling their employers saying due to having no fuel they can't work. So the old, sick or disabled will go uncared for at home too.

The Government has very few days in which to sort out the problem before it escalates and we see shortages of food, supplies and other esentials for life and businesses to carry on as normal.

That it is the most incompetent Government in history that has to fix this is a major concern, a Government elected and appointed for their belief in the single policy that has caused the crisis to a large part, and for sure has made the issues much worse.

In order to fix the issue, the Government would have to fix the root cause, and that would mean admitting its Brexit and them ignoring the warnings from indusries and experts about the very issues that are crippeling the country now.

All we have is hope that, for once, the Government will act in a quick and timelymanner and address the issues at the root of the problem. Otherwise this will get worse, much worse, very quickly indeed.
