"Someone I know had the price of their heating oil double over night. " Funny how prices always go up immediately on a hint of bad news for stock purchased at cheaper prices... But don't come down for ages after wholesale prices drop again. | |||

"so the known facts are that the americans abduct the president of a south american sovreign nation and steal their entire oil production for themselves; closely followed by the destabilisation of the worlds largest oil producing region which drives oil prices skyward. it's not really much of a coincidence to be fair." Are you suggesting Trump knew months ago that the Iranian people would stand up for themselves? | |||

" You asked if I was real. To be able to answer the question we need to agree a common ground on what real is. 🤣" i answered that with an elementary explaination of the science of reality in quantum terms as you asked. perhaps it was too technical for you to understand. let everyone here know and maybe we could break it down into simpler terms just for you. | |||

When the chancellor put the duty up on petrol the pump price went up within minutes. When OPEC cut the price of oil it would take weeks to filter through, if at all | |||

" Are you suggesting Trump knew months ago that the Iranian people would stand up for themselves? " He certainly knew before he gave the go ahead .. Israel have said since why they took the decision which is out in the public domain.. Unless of course they didnt bother telling trump and said we are going to take out the Ayatollah but if you want to join in and claim the glory come along.. in any case Trump has given a different reason to the Israelis Memory issues perhaps? Or no actual plan for after they killed him..? | |||

The operation in Venezuela would have been weeks in planning, so to suggest that Trump knew what the Iranian people would do in 2-3 months time and then base a military operation in South America on that is a little cached to say the least. He would have intel on the Iran government and it’s military but I don’t think many people would have predicted an internal uprising in Iran, certainly not one that lasted as long as it has and has been as impactful as it has. They have shown incredible bravery in the face of genocide. | |||

"The media live a good scare tactic, nothing better than some panic buying to stir up a bit of fear. Petrol is the new toilet roll… get a grip." Well the same place I got petrol at which was £125.9 2 weeks ago is now £129.9 today… And with the oil price spike that happened today…. And the oil’s professionals say if it remains bad for the next few weeks prices could go through the roof, even I am going to do a half tank top up tomorrow….. Anyway.. fuel finder… government website where producers have to put their prices on.. least I know where I am going tomorrow | |||

People always need petrol, they don’t all need to buy it at the same time. Panic isn’t great, panic buying is wonderful for the people that are selling.., media coverage highlighting people buying petrol (a normal daily occurrence) only makes silly people stress and go out and buy it, which means more people buy petrol than normally would, driving up prices and causing a shortage. It’s not rocket science. | |||

But it’s a bit like the net zero target. It’s going to cost trillions but environmentalists say if we don’t the cost is higher. The cost of saving Iranian lives isn’t going to be trillions, a few pennies on the price of a litre of fuel. I guess we all have our own priorities and tipping points. | |||

The US through Trump sent a message to the people saying we are going to hit hard, now is your chance to make the changes you are calling out for. | |||

"I wonder if the price of electricity has gone up ? It's coming down in April." That will make EV cars cheaper to run, bonus as well not need petrol stations | |||

"Everyone seems fixated on fuel prices at the moment. The real scary elephant in the room is the strangulation of fertiliser coming out of the Gulf. This at a time of the planting season just starting. Watch food prices start to climb. The sooner this. ends the better." Well there's enough shit that comes out of parliament to provide more than enough manure | |||

UK farmers source fertilizer from a mix of domestic manufacturing, significant imports from Europe and elsewhere, and organic on-farm sources. The UK imports roughly 60% of its nitrogen fertilizer requirements, with key import origins including the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and Belgium. But tractors 🚜 will now be costing more to run Sam as lorrys etc. | |||
