Astonishing how the government have just sat back this summer and just pissed about with a leadership contest. It will be off the scale the damage done to the economy and we are walking into a depression that will last many years. I predict civil unrest will be on the cards.

Dark times ahead for many and not just the UK..
 
After this shit show is over the NIMBYs need to be told to fuck off, get this nuclear power plants built, Wind turbines up and get it sorted, no point of having a nice view if your freezing to death looking at it.
I wonder how many people will be cancelling cup schemes etc, first payment comes out today for Dortmund, expect plenty of empty seats this winter.

Something will be done, already noises in Europe about capping/ regulating gas prices.
 
we have to hang on now untill 5th of sepetember for a statement on what deal the government are coming up with, i do think they will have a concrete plan to help every household, the problem is just to big not to act on, if not then we are in bother big time, sadly the central heating will simply have to remain in the off position all through the winter, some things we cant do without such as washing machine,kettle,electric shower etc will just have to be paid

martin lewis had pointed this out, he himself advised the government of the nightmare begining to unfold, this was last March
 
Whoever becomes PM, there needs to be a serious re-think that we have a situation that allows a single political party's rules to allow the country to be sunk into a position of limbo as we have the last few weeks. It is the duty of us all to lobby our MPs to ensure a consistent set of rules appy to all parties that should mean a maximum of say, 4 weeks from a resignation to appointing the new PM.

The trouble is the government has totally fooked up.

We have let our gas storage facilities fall into disrepair, we still produce nearly 60% of our gas needs but not enough thought or resources has been spent on ensuring our energy needs can be met by opening new gas fields which we have in the North Sea.

The whole climate change has blinded the government who have not planned properly for a move away from fossil fuels and the big companies who explore new gas fields haven’t bothered for years as gas prices were low.

Why hasn’t vat on energy been quashed and why are we all still paying the green levy during these times. We exported gas to Europe during the summer as we had insufficient storage so why are the monies received from the gas used to offset our prices?
It’s sick that the big companies are making insane profits. We should cap there profits for the next 2 years or so and freeze the cost of gas etc or call a national emergency and re nationalise our oil fields if the big firms don’t play ball
