The only reason to drill then is for tax receipts? - but whether a company would see it viable to drill for oil from fields with declining reserves sounds doubtful.

Tbh I clearly don’t know enough about it.


There were bids to exploit new fields because they are still large enough to be viable (not to mention offshore technology has improved massively over the decades). The government’s own estimates are we could provide over 1/3rd of current UK consumption, industry estimates are more bullish at up to 50pc.

Current UK policy is to issue no new licenses, with only operational fields still producing. As above the benefit would be having a direct supply to source, lower emissions from shipping gas in, and less reliance on overseas imports, the energy markets at times of conflict are the Wild West. Aside from funding our own services rather than Norway, USA, Qatar etc.

Charles has no choice but to go, as it is a Govt decision.

He can of course have an 'unscheduled' medical issue that might delay things...

And in a bit of incredibly bad timing we have this at the same time.

This statement would have probably been drafted days ago and scheduled to go out now, but it's just happened to go out straight after the above tantrum.

Mind you, they won't cancel it for political reasons, but Charles is a 77 year old cancer patient, and so could easily be having an "unfortunate bout of poor health which will prevent him to travel to the United States" when the time comes.... (taps nose)

I want to see the next few frames in that burst of photos to see if the King says "anchor".

The diplomatic strategy here is about as well thought out as the wider war strategy as a whole.


They’re mind blowingly incompetent aren’t they. Cosplaying politicians. You broke it sunshine, you can clean up your own mess.

He should send Andrew.


He should bring his Photo album of when he served in the Army*, and repeatedly ask if Donald needs to sit down, you know, ‘cause of the bone spurs.

* Or Navy

He could also show photos of his son fighting in Afghanistan, and ask is Don junior still trophy hunting.
