    Britain can not afford yo be the worlds police service, improving the health service and pensions should be the governments priorities. Britain's excessive spending on the Ukraine is totally unjustifiable.

    If they’re having to pay higher prices then how come their profits are skyrocketing?

    High inflation in Europe reflects the economic price of Russia sanctions. As long as the energy prices remain high, Russia will continue to have sufficient resources for the war, while European economies will remain weak.

    maybe this , or at least part of this horrendous price increase , is as much to do with the WEF – " green lobby" trying to force regular folk into purchasing more electric cars , by making petrol so expensive , that we are " encouraged " to purchase " green machines" , just as the incentive programs finish , and coincidentally the price of electricity ( for charging the vehicles ) rises yet again .
    REMEMBER , YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING , AND BE HAPPY

    All the Ukraine war did was show the cracks that the Government keep filling with propaganda.

    Whilst China enjoys Discounted Russian Minerals and Fuels and Saudi Arabia is importing Russian Oil and Gas then exporting it's own at top dollar.

    The actual cost to the British people is the fixation on the lies of Net Zero by the political class

    Poor old Putin thought he'd be in Kiev by now.
    Now it's going to be a slog between him wanting to not lose face and Ukraine wanting their land back. Don't worry, profits are up in the fuel industry for their friends in parliament etc.

    With all those turnips the English are gobbling, couldn't they create some kind of alternative, methane fuelled, energy?

    If Ukraine fails, the cost will continue to climb exponentially. Ever hear of article 5?

    Criminal incompetence in handling the covid pandemic and support for America's immoral proxy war in Ukraine will lead to Britain's ultimate destruction.
    Brexit? Forget it.

    This has nothing too do with Ukraine, more to control you and take you assets.

    Diesel is 20p more per litre than petrol, yet takes less refining. Everything is crooked.

    The British were never asked if we wanted to support this conflict. NATO have been poking the bear for a long time in Ukraine. Frankly, I'm surprised Russia didn't respond a long time ago. We're not necessarily the good guys here.

    I'm more bothered that Shell has made 22 BILLION profit, its highest in history, and no governments' have held them accountable as EVERYONE suffers. It's tyranny.
    Why is it being allowed to happen….oh, i know: it's cos our politicians have stocks in Shell and are paid puppets and have no real power, as we are ruled by big business these days.

    It will burn even more when Russia wins and our hero Zelensky pulls an Ashraf Ghani and flee the country with our financial aid money
