Interesting, eh?
But not as topical as the Fuel Protest, due to start this morning.
Yesterday was like the Klondike Gold Rush. Anybody with any sort of crappy vehicle, no matter if they only use it to visit mum every month, got in and took to the road in pathetic panic.
They were looking for petrol.
They (mostly) found it. They skived off work. They got out of bed. They went to the petrol stations. They made the roads gravely dangerous places to work due to their 'once a month' ineptness.
There was a traffic jam outside every Petrol Station.
But that was yesterday.
Today, I made a leisurely trip down to my usual petrol station, and took on a full load 'just in case'.
The place was deserted. There was hardly any traffic. It was as if the entire population was holding back out of sheer embarrassment.
As well they might.
Crisis? What Crisis?
Like, totally normal, man!
Reports came in during the afternoon of the apparent failure of the fuel protests. The 'failure' is self-evident in the fact that the country has not immediately ground to a halt. And in the fact that the numbers of the protestors at the fuel depots was less than the number of journalists.
But wait. Apparently the Police corralled the majority into a control zone half a mile from this particular depot.
So the wheels keep spinning, as does the 'Government'. And the lie is created to cancel the crisis, and make the public distrust the media, and make the Cheshire Cat Government disinformation appear to be the only thing that can be trusted.
Meanwhile Gordon Brown 'stands firm' over tax revenues.
As did Prime Minister Sugden over Nationalisation in an interesting novel.
