Next step- hope there's not a cold winter, because the Russians will almost certainly "accidentally" turn off the gas pipeline to Ukraine and probably Europe.

As I said before, it serves us right for getting dependent on them. We've already had 35% increases in gas prices announced in Britain- it could reach 100% or more as this develops. Thank you to the far- sighted British politicians who used our North Sea oil and gas reserves to crush the unions and fuel a feelgood economic boom.
