Energy Crisis

[AtW]

Office energy charges (increased in October) going up from 18p to 48p!

And this is before Russian gas/oil embargo

Even now I believe we rely on France for a fair proportion of our electricity supply

You thought that voting for Brexit would magically create new nuclear power stations in the UK?

This energy crisis is one reason I vote for Brexit. It was obvious the UK was becoming a parasite nation too dependent on the EU for practically everything, including energy supplies as well as law making and even food, and we were atrophying as a country in practicaly every important respect.

Now MPs, and the PM for that matter, are learning the hard way that the buck stops with them, and they can no longer use their favourite excuse "EU rules don'cha know, not a thing we can do about it!".

Even now I believe we rely on France for a fair proportion of our electricity supply, which probably largely explains the Poodle's impotence to sort out the immigrant crisis, if he is even interested in trying!

You aren't going to get the £200 (right?) it just goes on your account?

Yep.

My account is currently in credit.

It won't be by the end of summer.

In his news conference he was calling it a "rebate".

Only this tulip show of a Tory party is a "loan I don't want" called a "rebate"

Rishi will have "whiteboarded" that on TikTok with his tech bros.

Sounds very Rishy to me - can banks give a loan without request and then claw it back?

btw, he is spending close to like £10 bln on this somehow

Repayable discount?

What's next - returnable salary?

lets say £8.7 billion

Sounds like big enough amount to invest into getting more gas/oil from the North Sea?
