Alarmist Newspapers and Panic Buying


‘We’re a’ doomed, doomed a tell ye’. Sounds about right, at least according to our alarmist newspapers.

They’ve had a good run over the past few months, battering us relentlessly around the head with relentless doom and gloom about Covid. Still it goes on. ‘Plan for the worst’, wails The Mirror. ‘It’s back to panic stations!’ screeches The Mail.

They’ve positively relished it, but Covid’s become a bit of a broken record now as far as working up a sense of alarm is concerned. Our senses have become dulled, so now they’ve got to find other things in their attempts to scare us shitless. Let’s have a little look;

* ‘Prepare for winter of discontent’; The Gloomiad
* ‘UK energy crisis to drive up cost of living’; The i
* ‘We’ll meat again: we’re set to run out of pork, lamb, chicken and turkey in just
days’; The Daily Star
* ‘Energy firms will be left to collapse’; The Times
* ‘Asteroid extinction event next month: Adonis blames Brexit’; The Daily Yell

Okay, you’ve got me; I made the last one up. But you get the drift. It’s eco-crisis, it’s housing crisis, it’s transport crisis, it’s NHS crisis. Now it’s shortage of this looms, shortage of that likely. It’s starting to sound like during the war. Couldn’t get this, couldn’t get that, had to make do with the other…

Well talking of the war, we could do with a bit of the old Dunkirk spirit from the papers now if you ask me. Where’s good old Winnie and Dame Vera when you need them? They wouldn’t have stood for this grinding pessimism from the papers then, and they wouldn’t now.

Well fuck the despondent miserabilist cunts and all who sail in them:The sun’s out (It’s gonna rain! – DA), the family’s well (They’re aliens from planet Zog – DA), Villa won 3-0 on Saturday (will get relegated and go bankrupt – DA), and I’m off for a pint (Pub has closed and turned into flats – DA)

And on the subject of End of the World hype, here’s this from Sick of it

A cunting for the never ending CRISIS.

Turn on the news and you can be sure one word will be thrown out and that is Crisis. What is with our media, we are constantly in crisis.

The Covid crisis had many sub crisis events, lack of PPE, shortage of beds, shortage of ventilators, Care Homes and so on.

Buried beneath this has been the climate crisis, it seems that doomsday gets closer everyday, 2050, 2040, 2030, next week the end of the world will be Christmas Day 2021. The brings us onto the next crisis, No Fucking Turkey, oh no maybe try a different Christmas Day meal.

Crisis of shortage of lorry drivers, ffs, as long as essentials keep getting through it’s not a crisis, but wait the Crisis of escalating gas prices has produced a crisis of not enough CO2 which gives a crisis of shortages of food.

And let’s not forget the Afghan crisis and the Channel crisis, it’s no wonder so many people have mental health issues, which itself is a crisis because of crisis of the NHS backlog caused by Covid crisis

We are truly fucked, the never ending Crisis is indeed a CUNT.

I am going for lie down.


And a word on panic buying cunts, from Gutstick Japseye

Emergency cunting for the stupid cunts who are at it again, this time it’s petrol.
Thanks to the crescendo of media sensationalist reporting of shortages, the fucking mouth breathers have rushed out and have begun to empty every petrol station in Britain.

Although there are genuine problems, there is definitely a degree of political skulduggery, as it is easy to paint these issues as Brexit related, and the incompetence of the Tory government.

Yes, there are elements of truth on both accounts, but there are wider factors at play. There are nearly a million jobs available, all of various disciplines and abilities, that need filling and what do the liberal left want? Foreign workers, who are now excluded from the equation because of Brexit. What about the millions of unemployed Britons?

Surely they should be first in line for work, but they seem happy to be at home on benefits, and the left are happy to keep them there.

Winter of discontent? We’ve had a few years already, and worse it’s going to get.

and this from Jeezum Priest

So, after seeing the news last night about fuel shortages, I popped in to Tesco at 0530 when I should have been sleeping!

I spoke to a very nice tanker driver who was rather informative and told me that the boats carrying fuel are arriving daily at Plymouth, the two depots in Plymouth are extremely well stocked and there is no shortage of drivers.

His only concern was news articles misleading the public. He finished by explaining that it is only BP who have issues. Back to bed….

Just thought you would like this FB post.


And yet more panic buying hysteria, this time from DCI Gene Cunt 

Fuel Panic Buyers.

A “Me first, then me and I’ll have what’s left” cunting for this bunch of selfish spunk-stains.

You fucking myopic, odious cunts. And the one’s that gave us dirty looks and muttering as we ‘jumped’ the queue to fill the ambulance up?

I hope you have a MI and the truck coming to you runs out of diesel. But dreams never come true.

Thank fuck this generation wasn’t around in 19fucking40.

  1. I’ve been to four different supermarkets in three towns in the last three weeks. I haven’t seen any empty shelves. It’s crap.

    As for fuel shortages, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. The media jabbering about a ‘percieved’ shortage makes people panic buy. The same thing happened with toilet rolls.

    You can bet the people who buy into this are the same clueless fuckwits who flush nappies, wet wipes and tampons down the toilet.

    • I suppose it has moved the attention away from the fact that all of us will be paying a lot more for Gas and Electricity in the coming months.

  2. Can you imagine the likes of BlowJob Boris, Princess NutJob, Queenie and a bunch of other VIPs panic buying at their local forecourt!?

    OF course not. Doesn’t affect them because even if there were genuine shortages they would be the exception because they’re so important.

  3. One thing I know for sure as I’ve grown older and wiser:
    At all times everything is hanging by a thread. Just live one day at a time.
    Write that down.

  4. Now google “petrol panic” to see how many of the MSM are today shouting “Don’t panic” in perfect synchronism, as if they hadn’t caused the problem in the first place.

    What else can go wrong?

    Me, I’m just waiting for the banking Ponzi scheme to go bang again; I guarantee there’ll be rapid action to make sure those cunts don’t feel the draught when (not if) that happens. The only part of ‘Britain’ which is effectively ‘Insulated’, btw.

    We are either governed by the brain-dead or all the conspiracy theories are right. It’s getting very difficult to tell which.

    • It’s funny that. According to The Daily Fail, energy companies will be left to go bust. I’m sure that anything can be left to go bust, except for banks.
      Fucking banks are wankstains, always coming it with their ‘we’re here for you always’, smiling girl at the desk shit. Yeah, smile all the time and say how unfortunate it is when they repossess your house.
      I’d love a million tons of festering dog shit to descend from a great height on those who work for banks.

      • Put me down for another million. Banking as it is currently practised ought to be a criminal offence. We are being warned to expect 4% inflation, for no other reason than to keep the cunts profitable while everyone else’s money devalues. Make that two million, on second thoughts.

      • At least I haven’t had to endure HSBC and their shit-brown man in the shit-brown cord suit, Richard E I Addio for a couple of days. Because Free iew seems fucked in Cardiff. So long as Endeavour is on tomorrow pm…
        Am enjoying listening to a pile of Bach CDs at the mo.
        Yours truly says another gigaton of warm, runny shit all over the bankcunts.

    • Agree about the ponzi schemes.
      Every time crypto currencies go up its rise is sharp and then swiftly falls
      Up and down like it’s fucking people over
      I’ve no holdings in crypto but my nephew has so I studied the swings regularly for more than a year and it’s manipulated by the much larger finance world like taking candy
      And it’s generally all the crypto’s swing at the same time
      Bit coin was 64 thousand a coin now trading at 42 thousand a coin in a short 4 month period.

    • Having little faith in humanity I usually opt for the former.

      Grey’s Law states;
      ‘Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice’

  5. ‘Ten Days to save Christmas!’
    The Daily Mirror.
    My Dog, they just love to wallow in it, the cunts. They’re like flies around dog shit.

  6. So many selfish people in the UK. Panic buying bog roll and now fuel. Absolute fucking wankers the lot of them. I hope they get fucked over in some way or another. I wonder what would happen in real times of crisis if this is any indication.
