I WOULD imagine we have some 80,000 troops sitting around the UK doing very little.

When will it occur to the government to post one or two of these troops at supermarkets to stop this endless stripping of shelves?

I have seen individuals stagger out with about 100 toilet rolls. Appealing to these individuals to be sensible is a total and utter waste of time.

The doctrine of me first, first and first again is the mantra of the day.
