Government energy policy has reached a new nadir. Readers will recall that the King's Speech included an intention to put the ban on new North Sea drilling licences into law. Yet now the UK government has relaxed sanctions to allow the direct import of crude oil and LNG from Russia, and also the import of jet fuel and diesel refined in third countries. A trade licence, which came into effect today, permits the imports 'indefinitely'.
So politicians like Miliband think it is beyond the pale to extract oil from the sea off our shores, but fine to import high carbon-footprint oil by ship from Russia and India, And the profits will go directly into Putin's war chest to support the invasion of Ukraine, which in the longer term mean the UK and its allies face higher costs to hold back Russian advances. I am struggling to hold back expletives to describe the utter stupidity and moral bankruptcy of our rulers. No doubt they think this can save their skins by easing the cost of living crisis, but I hope people see this for what it is..

Just one question. How much is Miliband personally making out of this. |  | | |

You could not make it up. Ed has banned using drilling and production from new UK oil fields but now says because of shortages we can use Russian oil. | |

Miliband is a dangerous idiot from a Marxist family happy to see everyone suffer on the altar of his "Net Zero" madness because he personally won't. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

It would take a decade or so to realise refined oil from the north sea.
Trumps antics in Iran haven't helped us. They've helped Russia, though. | | | |

Here is a well argued case with respect to the energy transition.
It concluded that producing our own oil and gas will increase revenues and energy security. It will also provide employment.
It also includes an explanation of why we going to need oil and gas for decades, our current standing on net zero and why because of geography and weather solar and wind are nut enough.
Reducing our energy security and chucking money at Putin while we chuck money at Ukraine does it make any sense.

It was similar thought processes that led to Nick Clegg discounting the idea of supporting new nuclear back in 2010 because it would take too long. The wisdom of that decision is apparent now.
A new supply of petrochemicals ten years from now is still worth chasing. Might be even more valuable by then. | |

Only in that it's quicker.
Obviously it's morally questionable to say the least. | | | |

Absolute joke from the Fabian Society/WOKE/insane lefty-loon collective that is the modern day Labour Party, and NOT only that, it's a party that despises the very people whose loyalty was once unconditional and guaranteed!
What an Absolute joke of a politcal party.
The Labour party will virtue signal itself and entire country right off the edge of a cliff! |  |

The gross stupidity of funding both sides in a war seems akin to driving the country off a cliff.
If Ukraine continue to go after Russian oil infrastructure it will mean nothing. [Post edited 20 May 13:13]

Seriously, all what we are seeing today could never in a million years have been predicted not so long back!
The stark 'reality' of which would never have made a 'Yes Minister' episode in the past, because it would have been viewed as being a step to far, too surreal and way too far fetched.
Miliband and his lunacy belongs more to BBC Spike Millighan 'Q' series and Ch4 Brass Eye comedy sketches! | |

Tories right hammered for 14 yrs of insouciance however these Cretins will cause generational damage
Tory hatred isn’t enough
Thatcher not to blame either
Voting them in will prove financially fatal for many | |

The fear is that Labour are going for 'scorched earth' policies in combo with obvious economic illiteracy!
And the utterly despicable (austerity followed!) chief secretary to the treasury Labour M.P who left a note in the drawer for his incoming predecessor says it all.
He wrote " "I'm afraid there is no money" thinking it was one big joke, despite the serious situation. This is the mentality that we're dealing with! | |

Some of the decisions Starmer and gang are making are akin to scuppering a captured submarine.
They’re resigned to losing the next election and Starmer personally knows he is crisply cooked sliced bread so they are saying “fix that you b@stards”. |  |

Actually Florida's population has increased from 13 million to 23 million in that time.
What Gore said was that Florida would lose 60 percent of its population in the next few decades, whatever that means? [Post edited 20 May 16:17]

Gore said this:
"According to some predictions, not long after Bangladesh feels the impact, up to 60 percent of the present population of Florida may have to be relocated."
13m to 23m is not and increase of 425%
Facts are important and it's best we don't take on face what's said by a comedian. | | | |

Probably best we don't take on face what's said by people making a lot of money out of climate alarmism either.
Check out the increase in Al Gore's net worth since his "documentary" came out. | |

Oh, I’m not defending him for a second.
Just pointing out a deliberate mistruth from a comedian who isn’t an expert in the field.
I agree with you wow shouldn’t listen to those who’ve made money out of it.
Should we trust political parties funded by fossil fuels? | | | |

I think we are in the same place. I suppose there's an irony in taking comedians seriously.

We are willingly placing control of vital resources in the hands of rogue nations who would love to see us destroyed. If there ever was another situation where we are threatened like we were in 1940 these days we’d be a sitting duck as we have outsourced pretty much everything we need to survive and defend ourselves with. | |
