Sorry - it was more that whilst people blame the media, it doesn't get us anywhere as no one wants to go down the route of censorship, so we need to tackle another part of the immediate problem. Be that limiting fuel spend per visit or reserving some petrol stations for NHS staff, etc.

Breaking: Government expected to mobilise army 'as a precaution' amid fuel crisis
Amid the fuel shortages, there are calls for healthcare staff and other key workers to have priority access to fill up their vehicles.
The government is expected to mobilise the army as a precaution amid the ongoing queues at petrol stations around the country, according to a Whitehall source.
Petrol retailers had been hoping for a return to normal after motorists drained pumps over the weekend.
But there was little sign of the panic-buying diminishing on Monday, with consumers apparently ignoring pleas to stop.
