A UK government spokesperson said: “UK airlines are clear that they are not currently seeing a shortage of jet or road fuel. We know people value their hard-earned holidays, especially as summer approaches, and we are working closely with industry to keep flights operating and help airlines plan ahead.

This must be the person who responds to the UK Petitions website, as I swear they have literally no reading comprehension - like they’re an obstinent child that absolutely knows better.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that fuel being used while no fuel is coming in will result in a shortage - the idea behind cutting fuel use is to try to delay it long enough that Trump fucks off with operation fuck his ally’s oil supplies.

“While we are not planning to change motorway speed limits, and private aviation accounts for a small proportion of total fuel use, our contingency plans include all options for fuel prioritisation if needed.”

Watch this space, there will be a shortage, holidays will end up being cancelled, and when that happens could someone please throw these words back into the Government’s face. They could’ve tried but chose not to.
