Moron's gonna moron, and a rabid press are going to report only the most extreme cases to make it look even worse.
I went into Sainsburys the other morning to get some milk for work, and had a look down some of the aisles. I've got to ask questions about all this panic buying... Where are all the industrious, even mildly intelligent folk these days?
Every pack of toilet roll was gone, but the moist toilet tissue wipes were untouched. Then if you went round to the next aisle, there was a fully stocked aisle of tissues and kitchen roll, which would do the job of toilet roll equally as well.
The pasta/rice aisle was a similar story. Pasta and rice was decimated, but things like sauce, passata and stock, to cook it with, was fully stocked.
Anyway, if food starts running out, I've still got a decent stock of winter veg in the garden. You know, being a commie, and all that.

You do realise that when things get really bad, the state militia will be coming round to your place with forks and a wheelbarrow, that is if they dont take them as well.

I have a feeling we're soon going to start hearing about the next phase of the crisis. The "blocked toilet epidemic" with a shortage of plumbers.

Yeah, the Daily Mail is a bugger to flush.

You cant actually use the Daily Mail instead of toilet roll as it's already full of cr@p, wouldn't want to touch it through fear of contamination
I notice that their main headline is "lets pull together", from a paper that is usually so quick of the mark to castigate any minority groups, immigrants, jobless, disabled, teenagers etc, etc

Let's pull together for our elderly, Britain! They know who their customer base is.

You can tell things are going to be bad - the BBC and ITN are running good news stories about human decency, and looking out for each other.

Update from schools is that the majority of support staff have been advised to work from home. Only teaching staff are asked to attend, and they are to treat the day as a normal teaching day. Each school will be monitored daily. Regarding closures, it's not a matter of if, but when.
