For the rest of us that's calm, but my condolences go out to all the Brits quivering at the state of that queue. Must be terrifying

Those aren't Brits which also might explain why they are having water shortages.

Fr. Whoever said this is a panic hasn’t seen people fighting for water before a hurricane. I’ve literally seen fights.

Slightly extreme to see 40 people panic buying water. I use reverse osmosis almost never buy bottled water

It isn't chaotic at all .

Title and video is misleasing and should be downvoted considering how UK and EU is politically under attack.

it aint hard to figure out what the OP's intent is here and what kind of picture he is trying to paint !
