Yes 1 trillion pound long term subsidies. Also, The president of the EU commision announced a more protectionist policy direction in 2019 before covid. Lockdowns will only exacerbate protectionism in the short term.Quote:

"You could argue that the Ukraine conflict was, in part, caused by the EU ever expanding eastwards. Not respecting Russian interests and backing them into a corner risking nuclear war in the process.Quote:

The EU is expanding as countries ask to join. The biggest immediate advantage is to have access to a large economic area. Or does the EU actively look for new members? The EU decides to accept a country or not. Should they not accept a free will request made to join the EU as it would upset some other country? I'd find it easier to understand the argument if it'd be NATO. I'm probably missing something altogether here.
So, you agree. the EU is expansionist and has expanded it's trading bloc and schengen to Russia's border with talk of a EU army going on. That army is inevitable.Quote:

Do you think war, mass death and potential nuclear fallout is a price worth paying for expansionism of the EU project? If i'm reading this right you do. Lol
What an absolutely mental way of viewing this conflict.Quote:

Maybe give the Russian propaganda a break gluey.
Lither is a loon , no doubt about that. But he isn't completely wrong in this point. The blame for what Russia is doing lies with Putin. Although in terms of secondary blame, then the EU has to be top. They've riled putin with their expansionism, no doubt about that. But that's not the issue in itself. They've also been funding him to the tune of hundreds of million a week for gas, and depleted their own armies down to the point of being almost useless. I've got no issue with the expansion, it's their right and it's the right of the countries who want to join. When you take the choice of annoying a genocidal maniac you should be prepared to stick up for yourself. They decided to piss him off, while funding him and disarming themselves.Quote:

I am sure the genesis of this idea was Labours Ed 's back in 2015 in fact it was part of their manifesto pledge ,. sadly wholesale prices are now off the wall and no one could see this happening , which has destroyed that idea dead think it was well meant to help those at the bottom end of the food chain not to punish them however its severity and its sadly resulted in a number of energy companies going bust..
I notice Germany is talking about some lights out policy this winter , bloody Brexit / Boris I hear them shout .
Most other countries top theirs up to keep the caps lower.

My work has a factory in Poland, and there are so many Ukranians there they have 1 shift for Polish workers and another shift for Ukranians. Predating the current war in Ukraine, it seems there's been a high level of immigration there from Ukraine for a while.Quote:

Don't blame Boris because you didn't fix your utility prices from September 2021 until March 2024, I thought most financially astute people would realise to do that, it means you know what you wll be paying for 2.5 years?
There is no law that you have to go on a variable rate?
PS he also doesn't set the World price for Gas and oil

The EU fanatics along with Nato decided to encroach on historical Russian intrests and now we have a bloody war because of it. The EU and Nato seem prepared to waste every last Unkrainian life in a proxy war with Russia.
