    Of course if everybody had common sense there wouldn't be anything for the Daily Mail to report.

    Quite worrying how many people are suggesting that the media need to be government controlled to prevent them reporting anything that could be used as scaremongering.

    The media should report the news, how people react is the bit that's important and the news is that there is a shortage of drivers and two thirds of BP petrol stations had shortages of certain grades of fuel before last weekend. It wasn't just BP either, Shell seemed to be suffering the same thing but I'm sure the government are delighted that the media get the blame for it.

    But it's ok, none of the shortages are due to Brexit.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    There wouldn't be any need for the Daily Mail.
