Boris Johnson has suggested that the panic buying was sparked by a “misleading account” in a leak.
“I think that what happened with the petrol pump business is that unfortunately there was a slightly misleading account of something which got leaked and caused a totally understandable surge in demand,” he said.
This is then followed by Tim Montgomerie admitting that ministers and the government ‘think every time they go out and talk about it, it makes the situation worse because the public do not trust them’.
Is he right? Have the public had enough of their lies and intentional maunfacturing of confusion?
And do the public share the thoughts of these Tory voters in Boris Johnson’s constituency?
