I wondered when the energy wars would begin! Looks like Ukraine & Russia are about to have a serious fall out over Ukraines inability to pay the vastly increased prices Russia is demanding. Or is it that they can extort more cash out of the rest of wealthy Europe?

Today the French Chairman of our gas supplier for the UK which is French owned I think was defending the ridiculous price increases we will and indeed are paying for gas, a bit like the ridiculous price of oil....maybe the cost of of it freely shooting up the pipelines has doubled....whoever advised the government of the day to sell of our electricity, gas, telecoms, railways, oil etc needs impeaching...
