Gas prices have soared across Europe amid fears over Russian supplies.
UK energy bills are forecast to jump by 65% to more than £3,200 a year in October, with gas prices responsible for the vast majority of the increase

All that pain for the peoples of Europe just so that the corrupt, unpleasant, shambolic regime in Kiev can be kept from falling. Without Western help, the Jew Zelensky and his cabal would fall within weeks.
Britain would regain its stature in the world if it were to join in friendship with Russia.

Only five voters, so scarcely persuasively scientific; still, their views may well reflect the concerns of many.
🔴 Two of the five said they were likely to vote Labour at the next election and three Tory, but when the question was put to them with different Tory candidates as leader, the mood shifted.
After seeing a clip of Sunak, everyone could name him, but despite the instant recognition they were hostile towards him.

Well, after all, she only became an MP in the first place “on her back”, to put it a trifle crudely, in that she was having an affair with the married Con MP Mark Field around the time that she was placed on the Conservative Party “A” List (thus almost guaranteeing selection as a Parliamentary candidate).
Liz Truss having been placed on the “A” List (and/or her candidature) may not have been entirely the result of undue influence, but it is likely to have been partly so.
The focus group in the above tweets came to the same conclusion as me— that Liz Truss is untrustworthy. Also, though evidently unknown to the focus group, Liz Truss displayed embarrassing ignorance when meeting Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov a while ago.
Basically, a woman with little to commend her.
When asked who they would vote for between Ms Truss and Sir Keir:
🔴three would vote Labour 🔴one would vote Tory 🔴one would reluctantly back the Conservatives led by Ms Truss
➡️ One who chose Labour added: “If you put Penny in there, I would have changed my mind completely.” pic.twitter.com/pedVt3zkw5
In these terminally “woke” times, the newspaper did not ask the focus group whether Penny Mordaunt (or Liz Truss) being English (i.e. white Northern European) made a difference to them, as compared to Rishi Sunak (Indian) or others. I suppose that the focus group were themselves disinclined to mention race and culture; after all, the multikulti propaganda is relentless now, in every TV ad, every drama, every soap etc.

Good idea. Britain needs to get much more serious about the failings of the privatized water companies. Renationalization with minimal compensation might also be good, if done properly.

Screw that. I am more than glad that I never had one of the experimental “vaccines”, “boosters” etc.
So far (ha), I remain fine, while most of the Twitter virtue-signallers who have been “vaccinated” and “boosted” have not only had “Covid”, “variant Covid”, “long Covid” etc, but are so weakened from it all that many will probably not survive the 2022-2023 winter. Some are unpleasant (((individuals))) who have made, over the past decade, a number of untrue, malicious, and abusive complaints about me to social media organizations, regulatory bodies, and even to tame police.
I suppose that I shall just have to accept that the days of my persecutors are numbered…
No, you and your party, along with the opposition, the scientific advisors, the media and the NHS have all engaged in systematic murder and destruction like deranged psychopaths.
Former BBC journalist John Sweeney [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sweeney_(journalist)] thinks that TV presenter Neil Oliver “should be in the Tower” [of London] as (implied) a traitor, merely for questioning the Western narrative and whipped-up NWO/ZOG msm hysteria about Ukraine.
Oliver, tweets Sweeney, supports “Russian fascism” (as against, presumably, the “fascism” of those such as Sweeney, who would label anyone with a differing view “traitors”, and lock them up as such).
We have seen recently a whole tide of such hysterical nonsense, most egregiously from part-Jew MP Tom Tugendhat, who actually said, in the House of Commons at that, that those MPs not wanting to get the UK involved in the Ukraine conflict were guilty of “treason“.
Tugendhat is not only completely wrong in the legal sense, but in the more general sense as well. The UK is not at war with Russia, and indeed is not at all allied to the corrupt and shambolic Ukraine regime based in Kiev.
In fact, as shown below, that Sweeney character does seem rather keen on censorship, certainly for a journalist:
Putin's war is in the balance. The Ukrainians have done brilliantly so far – but can they stand up to the bully for ever?#KyivDiary, Putin's war, Day 5. I'm making a podcast, Taking On Putin. He won't like it. If you can, bung me a bob or two… https://t.co/r6lSjA7zVypic.twitter.com/xabOlEIlUX
Sweeney has a point about the morale of the two sides. It is clear that the Russian troops are reluctant invaders. That reluctance may go right to the top of the Russian Army. None dare call it sabotage?
As for the quiet streets of Kiev just reported upon, it is said that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have fled overseas, which may mean that literally millions have fled from Kiev and other near-frontline areas of the country to Western Ukraine, and some then to neighbouring states. Kiev’s 3 million population may now already be closer to 2 million, or even 1 million. Hard to say.
I have seen the main points made yesterday by the Ukrainian envoy to the UN in New York. I may be wrong, but the supposed texts or conversation he read out, messages between a young Russian soldier (later killed, said the diplomat) and his mother, seemed to me to be contrived, at least in part.
I may be wrong, but there was something in those supposed messages that reminded me of the lying testimony of the daughter of a Kuwaiti diplomat in 1990. She claimed that Iraqi soldiers had killed small children in a hospital. I was in New York at the time, and recall the effect that that pack of lies had on many people (the falsity of the testimony was not exposed immediately, by which time the lies had done their job, of course).
A years-old photo of two children saluting Ukrainian soldiers is circulating on social media, with some users falsely suggesting that it is from Russia's ongoing invasion. But the picture was shared by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense in 2016. https://t.co/wrLgTT1B5c
“The 13 Ukrainian border guards who were feared dead after they told the Russian military to ‘go f*** yourself’ over the radio as they defended a small island in the Black Sea are actually alive and being held as prisoners of war, the Ukrainian Navy has since confirmed.” [Daily Mail]
More lies exposed.
“In war, truth is the first casualty“…
Interesting graphic
The effect of the Ukraine situation has been to push up oil and gas prices. Already, in the UK, the retail price of petrol (gasoline) is about 50% higher than it was a year ago. I have seen figures suggesting that domestic gas prices in 2023 may be double from where they are now.
This is not mainly the “fault” of Putin, and in fact may be in part the result of misapplied “green” policies in the UK and elsewhere.
On the wider front, it is clear that NWO/ZOG is getting the population(s) of Europe gradually accustomed to lower living standards. Causation can be blamed on Russia, “Covid”, “climate change” etc, as required.

The American public, in particular, will always be gung-ho at the prospect of war until they themselves suffer its full consequences. That has never happened to them, certainly not in the past 150 years. Look, though, at how scalded they were when the 2001 New York attack occurred.
Russian economy
The Russian consumer economy has been hit hard by the economic warfare now waged by the West. Having said that, at one time Russia, or at least the Soviet Union, had no consumer economy to speak of, yet not only trampled half of Europe underfoot but built atomic weapons and a space programme. I speak of the times of Stalin and Khrushchev.
Russia is still, I read, receiving USD $1 billion a day from hydrocarbon sales. In hard currency, not roubles. It is said that the war in Ukraine is costing USD $15 billion a day, but I wonder how true that is, bearing in mind that the armed forces would still be costing money even in their home bases; and the weapons used are in existence already.
Russia is 72x the size of the UK, has many different climates, has a large but not densely-packed population of ~145 millions, and the ability to live indefinitely, if necessary, entirely closed-off from the outside world.
Joke of the day
Part-Jew would-be hard man, Dominic Raab, “warning” Russian commanders that they may face war crimes trials. You mean after the UK’s tiny LGBTXYZ army captures Moscow? Get back in your box, idiot.

I'm from Poland where many cities, towns and historic buildings were flattened in WW2, we reconstructed all of them in the space of a few years. Look at Gdańsk in Poland or the old town in Warsaw. Hang in there they won't get away with this!
The second tweeter is correct in saying that the Old Square and Cathedral area of Warsaw was reconstructed meticulously after the Second World War (I was there on a number of occasions in 1988 and 1989), but of course quite wrong in mentioning Gdansk (former Danzig), which was never a Polish city before 1945. It was a German city from at least the Middle Ages through to 1945.
The Teutonic Knights founded the city around 1300, though there was a small settlement or town there previously, occupied at times by Germans, Danes, and Polish tribespeople.
Subsequently, it was a Germanic city, though at times under the rule or patronage (before the 18thC) of the then Kingdom of Poland.
After 1945, almost all Germans were expelled, and the name changed to Gdansk. The postwar “reconstruction” deliberately diluted the Germanic history of the city (even Wikipedia admits that much).
Well, if the British Government was willing to declare world war in 1939 over a worthless “guarantee” to Poland, why not declare another in 2022 because Russia has “invaded” Ukraine (which two countries were under joint rule from earliest times until 1991, except for very brief periods such as 1942-44)?
The only personal benefit I would get were the UK to be burnt to a crisp by nuclear war would be that most of (((those))) who hate me would be annihilated. Only thing is, I would probably follow them a few minutes later.
On balance…I should prefer if the misgovernment of these islands managed to avoid a nuclear war with Russia, especially one in support of the Ukraine’s useless, corrupt, shambolic and Jewish-led regime.
Hard to accept, even in our decadent and increasingly-stupid country, that the agenda is being driven by idiots such as Piers Morgan, and that such ridiculous pseudo-macho posturing and opining might influence the UK government onto a path which could destroy the British people, what’s left of them.
I believe that a woman once asked that great genius, Rudolf Steiner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner] whether she might reincarnate with him at the end of the 20th century (Steiner died in 1925). Steiner is said to have replied that that might be possible, if the woman would be willing to walk across Europe with him over broken glass…
Presumably that (?) prediction meant 2000 or so plus (?) 20+ years. So…about 2022? Worrying…
I never believed that the Cold War would become a hot one, meaning a nuclear one. It would be more than ironic if NATO (NWO/ZOG), having gone through the Cold War and out the other side, sparked a nuclear war with a post-Soviet Russia that poses no threat at all to Western Europe or North America.
Our Home Secretary is "Their" Home Secretary like every other government, legal, judicial, academc, media and entertainment position in dear old ZOGland.
When Sadiq Khan says London is well prepared for a nuclear attack but wets the bed over everyone with enough gumption not to wear a mask on the tube because of the ‘danger’, you know we have fallen to a level of unparalleled idiocy.
