There's absolutely no way British people will bow to restrictions again after the BoJo $hitshow.

It’s time to move on from covid imho. We can’t lock the whole world down and further destroy the economy. If should be treated like the cold or any sickness in that if your unwell you don’t work if you are well you work
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Impossible to move on while the virus evolves.

Brent Crude Oil is today at its lowest since about 25 March - $95 a barrel. Back then price per litre at the pump was about £1.65- £1.68. Now its about £1.91.

Fecking annoys me how the price shoots upwards with almost no lag from the increasing wholesale price but then crawls back down.

Prices shot up about 16p a litre when the wholsale price peaked at about $124 a barrel in June. It has steadily fallen since 8 June but has the price at the pump? has it feck.

These companies need hitting hard. They will make ridiculous profits ! I am all for a free market, but every person in this country will be taking a big hit as this factor is a big contributor to the inflation crisis. These companies need to share the pain in a big way!

The government needs to step in. Along with the energy crisis too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
tories? Hahahaha like that’s going to happen, they’ll have lucrative post govt jobs lined in the board of energy companies…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
100%

Just saying it's the only option left before a very major crisis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead they’ll cut tax for business, not the people, they couldn’t care less about the people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't these businesses employ the people?

Personally my real term income has gone down and costs up but will manage. My parents gonna pay like 400 a month for gas alone which is madness.

Something will have to give!

Just get another job. That’s your solution to people being poor
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If I needed extra income I’ll. open my own school of bumming
There’s a job for you and KLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't need school for bumming. Comes naturally. Born to bum

I continue to pray for the jabbed.

Mandatory fourth jab for everyone has been announced here in Spain. Masks still required on trains, buses, health centres, pharmacies, etc. Requirement never went away.

There will surely need to be some major updates to the vaccines, given it's a very different virus to the original (or at least the one the vaccine was originally designed for).

Although I guess we'll never actually be able to be ready for roll outs of new vaccines before new strains are already out, just makes sense to a layman that having something at least significantly closer would be more effective

Don’t worry tux, you can tell no one that you were right when you stand alone in the devastation when the world collapses. Plus for a limited time you can get better 5g reception by standing close to the dead bodies that were vaccinated so you can also post ‘I told you so’ on Twitter for no one to see. Maybe somewhere out there there will be other members of the tin foil hat brigade who can immortalise your struggles in the post apocalyptic world by making a film about you called’i am b3llend’

Wholesale petrol prices have fallen in recent weeks and for the past three days have been at 80p per litre or below, down from a peak of 100p, according to motoring body the AA.

However, most petrol stations have failed to pass on the savings to customers and have been accused of profiteering.

Some very simple rules can and should be put in place to minimise profits on energy, but do we expect any MPs to do anything about it?

half of them sit on petrochemical company boards as non exec directors, etc

ofcourse they wont do anything about it

they profit bigtime from this

I really don’t understand the OP’s obsession with Covid. There are far more worrying things like fuel costs, energy costs, hyperinflation, rising interest rates. Not to mention that the Euro and Sterling are collapsing before our eyes.
