She has only been on the job for a few days, but new British Prime Minister Liz Truss has maybe a few weeks left to roll out a solid, confidence-inspiring plan to turn around Great Britain’s economy – or else face widespread unrest this fall and winter.
Police chiefs across the United Kingdom say that “economic turmoil and financial instability” has the “potential to drive increases in particular crime types,” including shoplifting, burglary, vehicle theft, online fraud and blackmail.
“Prolonged and painful economic pressure” could soon spark “greater civil unrest” similar to the 2011 London riots, reported one popular British news outlet about what is expected.
As energy prices soar, energy supplies dwindle, and the people grow increasingly restless, the U.K. is on the verge of a collapse unlike anything the country has seen in a very long time. (Related: Tens of thousands of Brits are planning to stop paying their utility bills in protest against high energy prices starting on October 1.)

Let’s not work on solving energy issues with sensible solutions. Let’s just plan how to suppress the population while they are suffering.
Who will speak for the old folks?
Violence and Fear are Contagious.
To be fair, the government is spending over £100 billion on fuel subsidies to mitigate the impact on the poorer part of the population.
They also need to make sure public order is maintained. I think we know what happens when you let riotous mobs get out of hand during all those BLM ‘mostly peaceful’ protests when that criminal George Floyd died a couple of years ago.
The UK has a Deep State, too.
And Truss is just another BiteMe.
people will heat their homes, gonna shut them all off come feb or march when their bills are past due 90days?
Dunno.
Here in the states most utilities are barred by law from shutting off in the winter.
Not sure about Euros.
i guess that’s my point, they can’t afford the bill and they prolly won’t get shutoff, so wut happens, unpayable bill and shut off in the spring?
this will not end well
Typically that’s what happens, and they fold the loss from uncollectable bills into everybody else’s rates.
meanwhile the line is now a 19.5 hour wait to see the Queen’s coffin right now. I can’t fathom being on my feet that long snaking through the line for a few moments in front of that coffin
100% but how long can it go on? gotta shut them off sometime
Truss said she wouldn’t have any white men on staff. I don’t see how the UK can be successful employing women and third-worlders.
“line is now a 19.5 hour wait to see the Queen’s coffin right now”
Human stupidity is the only infinite thing in the universe.
:-(
” Let’s just plan how to suppress the population while they are suffering.”
It’s what oligarchs and tyrants always do.
Better start building some of those Wicker Men to burn, to help keep the population warm. Or celebrate Guy Fawkes Day/Guy Fawkes Night throughout the winter.
some guy went nuts and charged the queens coffin. trying to find video of the incident.
Waited five hours in line for President Reagan in DC. Totally worth it.
