    .
    Seeing as nobody has seen fit to talk about this truly appalling situation in Mexico. Of course this is, in no small measure, because they can't blame Trump for it!! Cue for our Saudi shill to find someway to rope him in though.

    73 people were killed stealing gasoline when the pipeline they were tapping exploded. What does that have to do with Saudi Arabia or Trump, you idiot. Talk about a "shill"?


    What's caused the fuel problems?

    Criminals known as huachicoleros have in recent years begun stealing from oil pipelines and selling fuel on the black market.

    A few litres of fuel are worth more than the daily minimum wage in Mexico.

    Gangs reportedly made 12,581 illegal taps in the first 10 months of 2018, the Associated Press reports - about 42 a day.

    Authorities estimate it costs Mexico more than $3 billion (£2.3bn) each year.

    You're the idiot, as usual completely incapable of detecting sarcasm or irony. I have paid my Google bill, so I am fully aware of the reasons and the background. Although I am sure you could find some connection to Trump if you really really try, you go girl!!

    Newly-elected President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known popularly as Amlo, has vowed to crack down on fuel theft.

    He announced a new policy last month to shut off major pipelines until they can be properly protected from illegal tapping.

    But the closures have disrupted supplies as distribution shifts from pipelines to tanker trucks.

    President vows 'radical' new Mexico

    Who is Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador?
    State oil company Pemex has insisted there are no shortages in Mexico, but admits there have been problems delivering the fuel.

    "We will not back down from our fight against fuel theft, a crime that damages the national economy and affects every Mexican directly in their finances," the company said in a press release.

    President López Obrador has also stressed the problems are only a distribution issue.

    "Even though it hurts a lot, we have to carry on with the plan to end fuel theft," he vowed after Friday's explosion.

    How have people been affected?
    People in the capital Mexico City and surrounding central states have faced massive queues.

    Mexico City-based actress and singer Lorena Marcela Vignau Caballero told the BBC of the chaos when the policy began.

    "I panicked and filled up my tank the day they cut the pipes," she said, queuing for half an hour after midnight for petrol.

    Were you, you daft trout? I live in the UK ffs!! I have been to Vietnam several times, including Hanoi, Da Nang, Saigon, Hue, Khe Sanh, Vinh, the Central Highland and Vung Tau. Also spoken to a few people about those days, many still find it too difficult to speak about even now, but some will after copious amounts of Ba Muoi Ba beer and their stories are hair raising.
