Have you been to France lately? I was there for most of June, while their parliamentary elections were on.ignoring the Le Pen disruptors the country is much more at ease with itself than this one. The French just get on with life. They are currently learning to cope with a massive increase in fuel prices, electricity is up 4%. Private rents are limited by law and there are no obvious labour shortages. In fact a country that isn't dysfunctional in the way that this one is. As regards Scotland, oil prices are currently just over double the previous 5 year average. Scotland still has massive untapped reserves. We are more likely to see Aldo in Harrods doing the luxury shopping along with the Arabs than scrabbling for a living as we will in England once Batshit Luzzie Bentgob has reduced the workers wages.
Low wages was because companies could import cheap EU workers, now they cant, so wages are rising. Its UKs untapped reserves not Scotlands, remember SNP under the Greens control have said no new oil/gas fields. The French are paying the limited hike in electricity in taxes Also the French people are moaning like hell with the cost of living going up

I am guessing that you were not in Paris, run by Socialist mayor Anne Hidalgo and over-run by rats. The committee created to come up with a mascot for the Paris 2024 Olympics actually came up with a rat. Macron had to convene a meeting with a load of ministers to discuss the matter. The Parisians do not actually want the games in their city, currently weighed down by over €10bn of debt: MMT in action. In terms of rat to human ratio, the two most rat infested cities in the world are Marseille and Paris. When a conservative member of Paris city council demanded that City Hall do something about the rats infesting their council estates, the Greens on Anne Hidalgo’s ruling coalition vetoed the request claiming that they are actually oversized field mice. Bankrupt France with its price controls is great for the tourists with everything subsidised by the local peasants. Plenty of empty trains with drivers that retire in their fifties on fantastic pensions paid for by the peasants. They take to the streets when those in power propose anything they do not like. The 115 per cent debt to GDP ratio does not seem to bother them but when Macron is gone in 2027 the French debt pile will be nearly €4tn. The bad news for the rest of us is that a big chunk of that debt is owned outside of France. Unemployment in France is over 7 per cent and youth unemployment is 20 per cent. Curiously I had no trouble finding articles online about labour shortages in France. Scotland’s ‘massive untapped reserves’ are not as massive as you would think, the Greens will not support tapping them and the SNP opposed the Cambo oil field license. So 100,000 jobs will be going and when the wind does not blow, Jocks will be in the dark. The Left just cannot do facts – @A.L.D.O 4.1 will still be a thick as sh*t Nationalist shoplifting Buckfast in the local Co-op.
Cash-strapped council shelled out £160,000 to keep chief executive who broke Covid laws Only in a place run by the Official Raving Loony Party: astonishingly, Kate Josephs had a leaving party in Whitehall when she was on the Covid taskforce and got fined – if only she had invited Dame Kelly Stormer and the Ginger Growler then she would not have been given six months gardening leave on full pay. Sheffield’s debt pile stands at just £25m, so spending fortunes investigating their own CEO is a drop in the ocean; and they have not even published the report.
In a rare event in the world of finance, it seems that the International Monetary Fund are siding with us against the Europeans. They have pointed out to those Russian gas hostages that price controls keeping energy cheap is going to leave them with no energy at all this winter when Vlad switches off their gas. Then they will have to shut down large industrial users, crippling their economies. Expensive energy in the UK is forcing people to think about wasting energy, so they will cut back on excessive usage. In the meantime across Germany, France and Italy people have had their energy costs capped by false economics so there is no incentive to trim usage, so they will run their gas reserves down before winter arrives. The Germans are already making moves to stop the planned switch off of three of their nuclear reactors. The French are struggling because nearly half of their nuclear reactors are shut down for maintenance or safety reasons. At this time of year, Britain actually exports gas to Europe and we also supply them with electricity from our excess. We need to be unmothballing our gas storage facilities like Rough and filling them so that we can bail out our neighbours this winter when Vlad turns off the tap. The EU might treat us like pariahs but we should look at the bigger picture: helping our neighbours when they are in a spot of bother is in our own national security interests.
