The first duty of Government surely must be the safety and welfare of the people who voted for you and who pay for you.
Safety and security go hand in hand and so why have they undermined our energy supplies? Surely they must have thought about this, it's happened before when there were supply issues 2022 and in the 1970s I remember it being bad wondering whether my petrol would last long enough to get home after a long trip - luckily a kind garage forecourt man let me have a few gallons extra.
But what I mean is to show our virtue off we have cut off our very own get out of jail free card. We didn't mothball out power stations, we blew them up, we virtually stopped our own gas and oil production and we have great quality coal under our feet to this day. So right now we are seeing huge spikes in our fuel prices - our heating oil (kerosene) has gone from around 55p/litre to almost double that and some are paying more like £1.28 I saw yesterday.
If we are reliant on other people for our fuels yet we have out own supply that we've shut down you'd have thought heads would roll? No, of course not its all done for CO2! Politicians still cannot work out that the whole world is fuelled by oil and gas they think it's all Unicorn farts and Fairy dust obviously. When are we going to get anyone in charge who understands their portfolio and doesn't put us all at risk. A huge chunk of the population, like us, are reliant on reasonably priced heating kerosene and they've doubled our costs overnight because they don't do risk management.
