  • The whole energy crisis thing

Jules72 Putin you utter cunt

He’s just a part of the problem. The wholesale profiteering is where the real cuntage is.

      Along_the_Wire it’s true they’re benefiting from higher prices on markets… so there’s a strong case for a windfall tax

        The thing is, there’s absolutely no shortage of gas - we are all able to be supplied without Russia - this is all down to ruthless profiteering and taking advantage of the situation.

        Basically, if you want gas you pay our price - get it cheaper elsewhere if you can.

        Profiteering cunts being profiteering cunts and taking advantage of the situation - nothing more

        Exactly, the energy firms we have supply us are a convenient middle man for the big boys. They take all the flak when they aren’t the problem - but they should be doing a lot more to call it a out for what it is

        Analysts predicting wholesale gas prices could shoot up by as much as 50% as Russia delays reopening Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

        Getting to the point where it’s actually a cheaper option having a nuclear war. Just nuke the cunts. See what happens.

        It’s probably all part Putin’s plan. Cut the gas pipeline to Europe which would drive up the cost causing people into fuel poverty as payback for supporting Ukraine.

          Along_the_Wire yeah… point I was making a while back though is that retail energy providers aren’t the problem .. the original source of the problem is Putin, but it’s true that BP etc are benefiting

            Dubman yeah he is hoping support wavers… hope we don’t cave in, but is the man on the street going to be calling for that when he can’t afford his heating bills?

              It’s Flares sat alone in his bedsit living off his £2 a month royalties for having a filler track on Communicate that I really feel for in these tough times.

              Some poor misguided halfwits will still be absolving Putin of blame whilst freezing in their bedsits, eating beans over the winter. It’s the fucking Tories!

                wholesale gas prices are dropping, or were at the end of the week. Germany has got more reserves than thought. Still about 5x normal for december delivery though

                  benson they dropped a bit last week but even then were nine times higher than the historical average. Was before Russia turned off supply

                      alistair Dropped 30% in 5 days and I would assume the NordStream 1 shutdown was factored in.

                          benson it’s suspension was only reported in the FT yesterday so it wasn’t “factored in”. Let’s see what happens to prices this week

                              alistair yeah risk is gas prices go lot higher again… by the way Putin completely cut off gas on Friday because the G7 implemented a price cap on Russian oil. Hard to fathom the reasoning for doing this when I would have thought the G7 wasn’t importing much oil from Russia in the first place… The West has probably shot itself in the foot unfortunately
