Piers Morgan has declared that Britain has a “massive brain cell shortage” amid the current fuel chaos.
The supposed fuel crisis began when it was reported that a small number of BP garages were at risk of running low on fuel supplies due to a lack of HGV drivers.
This led to petrol stations being plagued by panic-buying motorists, with more stations across the UK temporarily running out of petrol and being forced to close amid the soaring demand.
As pictures emerged over the weekend of drivers filling up numerous jerry cans and even water bottles and plastic bags in their hunt for fuel, Piers has had enough.

Posting to Twitter on Monday, the former GMB presenter blasted the “ridiculous” panic-buyers.
In an irate post, the 56-year-old media personality slammed the unnecessary actions of numerous British motorists, suggesting they are directly responsible for the current struggle to get fuel as there actually is “no fuel shortage”.
Piers wrote: “There is no fuel shortage in Britain.
“But judging by the ridiculous scenes at petrol stations all over the country, there is a massive brain cell shortage.”

Piers isn’t the only celebrity to be enraged by the panic-buying of fuel.
Over the weekend, 8 Out of 10 Cats comedian Jason Manford revealed that he was left stranded at a gig over concerns he wouldn’t be able to refuel on the way home.
In a since-deleted tweet, Jason wrote: “Well can’t risk driving home tonight from London so gonna stay down here.
“Keeping fingers crossed that people will wake up tomorrow and realise their selfish way! #Doubtful”.

Rylan Clark-Neal has also expressed his frustration at the crisis.
The Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two presenter tweeted: “I’ve been through enough this year, really don’t need this petrol drought to make a sly trip to the M&S garage at midnight in a dressing gown taken away from me tbh.”
