The Legacy of Boris Johnson and Net Zero is the destruction of the UK.
They are closing the pubs - Brits live at their pubs, they just sleep at their flat.
Now their jobs and manufacturing are being destroyed.
And they elected Johnson’s mini-me for the new PM.

I’m ambivalent.

On the one hand, I’m on the verge of feeling sorry for the poor chaps.

On the other hand, they probably hate me for being a loud, ignorant, overweight, gun-toting Trump supporter.

What to do, what to do?

Did we elect BiteMe?

The UK has a Deep State, too.

What they don’t have is a Trump.

.......the monopoly handed governments the world over on electrical power is about to be broken up. Factories and other commercial interest, not to mention residential folks, will have to start providing their own power. A high % of buildings around this part of the country already have large EMERGENCY generators IN PLACE. These generators will become full time. Power will increase in cost due to fuel for generators but at least the factory can stay in business and it’s employees will have a job.

It’s a lot easier to destroy a country than to bring one back.. We lucked out having Trump for four years... Trump stopped our country from being destroyed by ‘elites’.

I wish Great Britain had someone like Trump - they’d have hope.

This is beyond recession. This is depression on steroids. Even if 20% of factories close, the impact on the supply chain is tremendous. Unemployment will skyrocket.

The choice at the time Corbyn or Johnson. So I am pretty sure Johnson was elected. It was the choices presented to the Brits that were manipulated.

Think they asked for it:

Oil and gas: decommissioning of offshore installations and pipelines

Decommissioning programmes, including dates, locations, installations decommissioned, method of decommissioning and close-out reports where available.

Why doesn’t it look like Europe is winning the Ukraine war?

Eurotrash leaders are malevolent and stupid.

Just like with the lockdowns — the purpose is to destroy the conservative (mostly) folks who run businesses.

“…— the purpose is to destroy the conservative (mostly) folks who run businesses”.

That would leave very intelligent aggressive inventive people with nothing better to do than think about who took their lives away from them. Isn’t it often said on here that conservatives have lives and work and that is why they don’t get out on the street and get involved?

My guess is the socialists will double down and shutdown more power plants.
