Energy blackouts for the UK?
Our Nuclear sites need replacing, and most of our coal /gas burning generators are coming to the end of their natural life and need replacing with more efficient models. However we sold our last nuclear power plant builders to the Japanese for a knockdown £2.8 billion (to fill a little gap in the NHS finances) and only the French can bail us out, but they don't want to without a massive bribe.
When those first power cuts hit the UK, and we are paying vast amounts for whatever dribbles of gas and oil that our EU 'partners' will allow us, then the Labour government will have completed its destruction of the UK ...... no mean trick inside 14 years .... from fourth best world economy, to the same energy problems as an African state.
