    What threat from Russia ?
    You ppl are completely mad ..
    It is the west that Refuses to trade with Russia cutting their noses off to spite their faces.. not putting people, their own people above
    “” politicking””
    It is Germany and the west that refuses to engage and turn on the gas pipe line, which is fully functioning whilst they pay 5x more to USA than they would Russia..

    It is the west that has engaged in economic war with Russia..
    Like what gives them the right to do so?
    But unfortunately has back fired. Hurt their own economies, whilst Russia continues to trade with the rest of the world..
    If Poland’s trade with Russia is increasing even under sanctions, then that shows the willingness of nations even under the choke hold of USA . No one is interested in war or the big cowboys any more..

    So to open the old well that got closed down , pretty desperate ..

    Just looking to Rob more out of Britain..
    and use and abuse any crisis..

    Our country’s lack is sod all to do with Russia
    But incompetent, back handed, shoving in own pockets. Deceitful leadership..
    Convid warriors .. wanting to scare the pants off people .. then rather than face the consequences, get all whiny and how unfair it all is … that they got caught..
    Quick shift focus ..
    Meanwhile our sovereignty being handed over to the WHO and not a peep .

    As there is NO climate emergency, there's absolutely no reason to shut down an oilfield that could do the British economy a world of good. The lefties hate this.

    Good for the tories we need to be self sufficient and provides us with our own fuel rather than having to buy it in also job security for the uk the SNP,Labour and the other parties don’t care about jobs all they care about is zero emissions which won’t keep us warm or put food on the table

    So Greece suffering with another storm Elias flooding Greece but who cares? This oil will be sold on the international market. IPCC, UN, leading scientists calling this stupid. Rosebank will not pump a barrel of oil before 2030, just when we need all oil shut down.

    Most of the Environmentalists and the Just Stop Oil crowd, seem to think that oil = Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene and lubricants.. They don’t seem to understand that most of what we wear, use and live in, are also essential oil derivatives.. even wind turbines, and solar panels cannot be made without oil. Plastics, resins, solvents and literally hundreds of other every day products, cannot be made without oil. Green energy is great.. but you can’t make anything out of electricity.

  18. @charliedrake247

    We need to keep our oil and refining capacity updated.

    Billions raised from public oil assets, but let's not pretend the public will see any of it. It'll all go to billionaire party donors.

    Ensure energy security its going to be sold on the open market , like when we first got north sea gas we were told we would have cheap fuel , yeah look where that got us. This government are experts at how to F**K an economy and a country nothing works no more in the UK and everyone knows it.

    December 21, 2023 at 7:35 am

    Great news ,but when North Sea Oil was first found the government said it would make Britain rich and increase the standard of living all over the country like in the middle east. They wasted the lot and now look at this country!!! They will spend it on immigrants and one useless project after another. I won't hold my breath 😂

    The oil will be sold abroad, and the profits funneled through the city of londons crown dependencies to evade tax.
