Levels Of Incompetence Off The Scale

 For someone who worked in a risk managed way for my whole career I observe with jaw dropping incredulity the pathetic thrashing about of our governing classes.  There's no plan, not even now, to protect the citizens of this country from the ongoing impacts of the crisis in the Middle East and prices have rocketed and yet we are told just 25% of the world's oil and gas products come from this area!  So that means that 75% comes from elsewhere I suppose?  

In an effort to cool the planet by 0.0001 Degrees C our successive Governments have blown up power stations, stopped exploration, stopped fracking, poured concrete down wells and we have the highest energy prices in the world, yes in the world and all so we can worship at the alter of Net Zero and change the climate by making ourselves poorer and bankrupting the country!  

Under our feet are huge gas deposits and out in the North Sea are fields of Oil and Gas and we make it almost impossible to drill or explore for new stuff,  huge taxes on producers have put many thousands out of work and affected industry so that we don't really have anything left.

We rely on others for our fuel and also interconnects to keep the lights on and no one sees the bleeding obvious where one Minister talks about getting 40+ AI Server centres and the other increases the scarcity and price of the fuel needed to run them.  Forty Five of these would require a doubling of capacity of what we have now!   There are no plans just talk, no idea of the level of investment required and no relaxing of taxes on those who want to build them.  How can they be so thick?  Why are they so stupid?  They just cannot connect one thing with the other.  They tackle one thing and make the rest worse, then they tackle that and it still gets worse and they have absolutely no idea why.

The level of ignorance and incompetence really is off the scale. We can see it logically and clearly but somehow they don't see it at all, they have no idea, no planning, no direction.  The trouble is, like every socialist government before them, they run out of other people's money, they destroy whole industries and the country is left in ruins to be picked up by people who need to do difficult things to fix it.

I can't see there's much left and it's coming up to two years of this utter shambles and people can hardly afford to live.  The hierarchy of needs is skewed and the gulf between the haves and have nots grows, patience wears thin and trust even thinner.  

The cost to heat my house has more than doubled and food and other bills have also exploded after 2020.  Meanwhile the government pisses on us tell us it's raining.
