Fuel Shortage in Scotland

“Don’t Panic!” the newspapers scream.

Meeeeeeehhhhhhh!” bleats the population of Midlothian. “Meeeeh? What are we not supposed to panic about? Fuel? Protests? Fuel protests? MeeeeeeEEEAAH! Look! A petrol pump with one person waiting!”

THE SKY IS FALLING IN

And so the newspapers create a fuel shortage where none existed.

None existed because there are no protests planned for Scotland. None. Not one.
