I'm sure we'd be a whole lot better off if this kind of thing wasn't reported in the news. As soon as there is even a hint of any kind of shortage, it just fuels panic buying.

Totally agree, @Waldo - but sadly the media hasn't got the brains to see that - or maybe they just like irresponsibly  fuelling the fire?

Agreed.

First it's reported that there may be a problem tomorrow, which in turn causes the problem, and then they can report it as actually being one!

Media don’t care about consequences for the county if it sells newspapers or generates ad revenue etc.

I'm aware of that, sadly, but some sense of responsibility should exist - surely. They should know by now that a large percentage of the population don't think of anyone but themselves, therefore creating unnecessary and avoidable problems for all.

Hence a Tory government and Brexit.
