Meanwhile back in the real world, if you ever feel useless, don’t forget that it took 20 years, TRILLONS of dollars and four US presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban…

Blame everyone else except the gangsters in government

When corporations have been making multibillion dollar profits for decades or several years off of consumers, they should have to eat some of the costs of rising inflation, and stop passing every single cost on to the consumer.

strange how the uk economy was taking a nose dive and gas prices were rocketing before the war in the Ukraine had even began.

[tonysherwood]

Our masters are desperate and are making us pay for their failure!

[Diarmuhnd]

Corporations are responsible ... oh wait. The *BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation.* Yikes. It all makes sense now.

[Bob-bdwq]

yeah yeah, sure it's everyone else's fault, UK just did everything perfectly!
thank your for your propaganda today as always.

[aaronburge]

Putin is right though, its impossible to block Russia out of the world economy with the energy they have.

[Khawaja]

UK trying to sanction Russia, instead sanctions itself 🤣🤣

[tareqalmahmud]

but hey at least the shareholders got their pay, don't need to care about the workers or the consumers.

[bbcisaids]

The world economic forum and klaus schwab, thats the link bbc

[leighaston]

thats an easy question .... governments cause all this .. not the people ... RISE UP PEOPLE .... RISE UP

[philcliffe]

Prices were going up before Ukraine. It's mostly Covid. We are paying more now to pay back for Covid, Furlough and other support. In addition not enough people are back in offices. Higher heating bills during winter may iron that problem out.

The fridge always wins against the TV and when this day comes, you'll have to answer for your lies!

[stepevin]

Wef needs getting rid of for starters, they make on the backs of normal people.

[Brellowcrop]

Bullshit, mostly. Rampant profits that gets circulated in the upper echelons of the economy. We, the regular people of the UK never see this money, but, every pound that is printed devalues the pounds in our pockets. Russia has made a massive impact, however, if our economy was strong and worked for the everyday man and woman on the street, then, we wouldn't have the problems we do today. It was a long time coming, mismanagement and legal corruption is to blame

We don’t get that much gas from Russia compared to other European counties but we are paying more than most. Our governments have failed to plan ahead for decades… I mean they have only just started to talk about increasing nuclear energy in this country?

I used to be central in my political views but now I seeing innocent children being more and more affected by this terrible financial planning I am beyond furious and I don’t feel that the Conservatives don’t do what is in the best interest of the people at all. They need to buck up or they’ll make themselves unelectable for the rest of time!

Libya war
Syria war
Palestine war
Vietnam war
Yemen war.
Ukraine war.
Which country is next victim of war game.

[johnfisher]

So Russia/ China are at fault for all the crap in the world, somehow I thought it would lead to that conclusion.
Perhaps we should try to get along with these people and make a better world.

[philholbrook]

Good old propagandists. Go BBC 🙄 I can't believe I pay for this cr4p
