Yup we do have to sort the oil and gas situation out. We've let ourselves become too dependent on Russian fuel and Russian money to corrupt our political system. It's a big argument for speeding up the 'Green Revolution' (which seems more of a green whisper at the moment, they've not even made placards let alone kick off a revolution). Easier said than done though, I mean even now the EU alone pays Russia over €1billion for fuel. A day. That's not to mention what the UK, US and others buy off them. That keeps Putin in civilian bombing equipment.
Instead the usual suspects are insisting we scrap it and start fracking instead. EDIT: Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date
In defence of Shell, they claimed it was about security of supply and have subsequently taken the decision to withdraw from the Russian market and stop buying Russian oil and gas. Obviously the proof is in the pudding on those promises. https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/europe/393485/shell-russia-oil-gas/ Ps. Full disclaimer - I work in the oil and gas industry (safety side) but am very much pro moving to green energy and rapidly. I don't think Shell deserves a lot of credit for this move but they could also just earn millions of dollars by buying cheap russian oil so what they've promised is "bad" business.
But this is Priti 'sacked for going behind HMG's back to a foreign govt' 'did the same **** Bercow has just got a lifetam ban from parly for' Patel, there's no way Boris 'sacked twice for lying to his bosses' 'ditched security detail to go to a party whilst foreign sec' 'spooks withheld intelligence bc they didn't trust him' Johnson will do much about it.
I don't like her. How can a woman whose parents emigrated to the UK be against immigration? Jokes man.

I think I remember something similar in Canada a good while back? IIRC the Minister in charge brought in rules that would have meant their own parents/grandparents (?) wouldn't have been allowed in. (This is no more than a vague memory, I take no responsibility for the validity of my words ) Quite often a case of "I'm alright Jack, sod you"
Exactly. Of all of the philosophies I hate that has to be the worst. Toffee nosed tart. I wouldn't even mind, but we are desperate for people to do our crap jobs since Brexit. So not only could we offer them a safe haven but also work, and lots of it.
Well her dad was a card carrying ukipper [stood to be an mp or mep, irforget which] iirc EDIT Also probably a variant on the 'I'm an ex-pat, they are immigrants' mentality.
All jokes. Like the guy on Goggle Box from Greece or somewhere, voting Brexit and wanting immigrants out. It's bloody amazing how quickly people forget their own ****. BTW let me clarify what I meant by allowing Ukrainians in to do our "crap jobs". It's pretty clear since Brexit we have lost a work force. A hard working work force. One that our own teenagers would turn their noses up at, because they are so entitled.
