The UK’s Deep State is panicking. Bet this is why...

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!). Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Weird. Purty sure herr shtarmer stated the Iranian kerfuffle was not something of concern for the soon to be united Islamic kingdom. Odd eh?

Under absolutely NO CIRCUMSTANCES should President Trump open the Strait of Hormuz until the regime collapses, the Iranian people drag them into the streets and deliver justice to them, and new leadership that doesn't chant "death to America" daily emerges and makes peace.

Period. I said what I said.

Keir Starmer needs an excuse to work from home himself so he does not have to face parliament.

--- "The UK’s Deep State is panicking."

From only a month ago....

"The Labour government has banned new licences for new oil and gas fields in the North Sea and a government spokesperson said issuing exploration permits 'cannot give us energy security and will not take a penny off bills'.

"It added: 'Regardless of where it comes from, oil and gas is sold on international markets, which set the price for British billpayers, making us a price taker.'

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband recently told the BBC that the lesson from the current crisis - which has seen the oil price rise by more than 30% - is 'we need home-grown, clean power that we control'.".

UK must back North Sea oil and gas drilling, says trade body BBC, 23 March 2026

Brent crude. Look up what the classification is and who and where it is calculated and traded. Began as "International Petroleum Exchange in London starting in 1988" and now multi-national. Not as yet under the control of the US administration. "ICE also owns and operates six central clearing houses: ICE Clear U.S., ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Singapore, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear Netherlands, and ICE NGX. ICE has offices in Atlanta; New York; London; Chicago; Bedford, MA; Houston; Winnipeg; Amsterdam; Calgary; Washington, D.C.; San Francisco; Pleasanton; Tel Aviv; Rome; Hyderabad; Singapore; and Melbourne." Hq'd now in Atlanta, GA, as the control slips away from the UK, in part. Speculation adds to the costs, and produces no oil, refines no oil, ships no oil and distributes no petroleum products. But adds to the consumer's at-the-pump cost.

But, this could be a good thing. If actual workers are in their homes — who/what are those that are walkingabout? Certainly, not workers. Not contributors. Perhaps just thieves and thugs casing YOUR home.

This is a tell. Use it.

From 15 minute cities to 15 second homes. Walk outside past the curb and the police will have you in cuffs.

Looked it up:

“When converted to gallons, this equates to roughly $7.00 to $7.50 USD per US gallon, though prices fluctuate weekly based on global market conditions.”

In some place in California, this is the price of a gallon of gas. Where I am in So Cal, it is ≈ $5.99/gallon, as of yesterday, but changes daily.
