  1. We can send men to space and have them live there for months even years, but we cant find a better alternative to oil? How often are we held hostage when theres a conflict. Its always in the middle east too. Im fed up of their repeated playbook. People are making daft profits off this. When it runs out though none of us can get to work, the busses and trains halt. Bet that would be a sight.

  2. Remember when we all had our own and get your government send security for your fuel if it is coming from terrorist regime's you all deserve everything you got Germany laughed at Trump then they had to open coal stations bk up,thank your shills for the world being in a mess don't lie USA has plenty of oil and food,these paid protesters are Soros paid because the corruption is shut down,fake news as usual

  3. It’s about time motorists across Europe refuse to go to work until these governments reduce fuel prices. It’s their actions that has led to this point . Collapse all economies in these countries if necessary.

  4. Interesting that British politicians are coming out in there droves to drill baby drill yet the same British establishment for years and years told us Scot’s that oil wouldn’t last long. Strange that isn’t it.

  5. All the war started to make higher Easter and pre summer holiday profits, because of low productivity .Those 2 leaders must go to jail

  6. If only 10 % of the oil goes through there, then how come prices go up ? Also, why aren't we getting our own and rely on other nations ?

  7. The panick of the people not just in Iran is what America and Isreal want they are making people panick so they agree with the unnecessary actions and like in uk push for more oil drilling instead of renewable energy

  8. Petrol prices is BS, oil shortages are used as an excuse to rase fuel prices and a lot of countries are jumoing the gravy train

  9. That moment when you realise you're in a "developed" country with developing country living standards and excessive living costs and taxes. Every year is tougher than the last. Rip-off Britain

  10. 38 % fuel duty and 20% vat welcome to united Kingdom 🇬🇧 thank you Labour Party government. May election coming soon. Vote wisely everyone.

  11. Yesterday it was £1.65, today is it £1.85 in Derby. Glad I filled up yesterday with a full tank. I am running full from now on because I feel stations are going to run dry if this carries on.

  12. I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but I wanted to share my experience to illustrate how renewable energy can work in practice with the right setup and a long-term approach.
    For example, I can charge my electric car for around £5, which gives me a range of up to 350 miles. I installed solar panels back in 2014; they paid for themselves within about five years, and the savings and earnings since then have helped fund a home battery system.
    As a result, I no longer have household energy bills, and I’m effectively able to charge my car at little to no cost.
    I’m not trying to be smug—just highlighting that, with the right infrastructure and some upfront investment, renewable energy can be both practical and financially beneficial over time.

  13. Prices won’t be coming down…

    They’re all pocketing of the working class. Brilliant stuff!!!!

    Ohhh the tax man will be laughing his way through this.

  14. even with rising fuel costs its still cheaper to drive per week to Greater London from the south than getting the train in every day, rip

  15. What's the point of protesting in this case? The message is not inconveniencing anyone who has control over this situation. Go protest outside the US/Israeli/Iranian embassy depending on who you believe is wrong.

  16. Conservatives were in power for over a decade, what stopped them from drilling the country's own oil and implementing what Badenoch just explained huh? Mayhaps the fact it could be sold elsewhere for some sweet profit to the detriment of the country? And now all of a sudden the Conservative party are the bastillons of wisdom? YOU HAD OVER A DECADE TO SORT THIS!! HYPOCRITE!

  17. We could protect merchant shipping crossing the atlantic during WW2 from U Boats and the Luftwaffe but we're unable to protect tankers in a small straight of water, how pathetic is that! so lets sit back and allow Iran to dictate to the world!

  18. It is not a conflict in the Middle East. It is the Zionist's war in the region. Israel attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen and Syria. How about stopping these Zionists lunatics to create some peace in the world and have cheaper oil!

  19. The wonderful thing to come out of this recent conflict is the beginning of the end of the Great Green Energy Scam because many Country's are now looking at Exploration Companies scrapping Net Zero BS and start Drill Baby Drill in their backyards.

    A win win for all us normal folk and BOO HOO to all the woke folk.
