Can I be annoyed? I’ve worked long hours this week and every time I get to the supermarkets near me they have been ransacked. This is nothing to do with ‘virtue signalling’ as you unsympathetically put it; it’s calling people out for their selfish behaviour.

Totally this. I had a disagreement a few days back with posters who felt stocking up by buying extra was in any way better than clearing out entire shelves. Some of them were really smug and condescending that they’d seen this all coming. No, you didn’t see it coming; you helped it to happen...

Which store is that? The one I shop at had nearly all its vegan food cleared out.

I was just listening to Helen Dickinson of the British Retail Consortium who said if we all buy that little bit extra , which you admit to having done, then it will cause shortages. But what you need, when you need it.

Disagree. People buying ‘a little bit extra just in case’ is the first stage of panic buying. You’re a panic buyer - own it.
