It's all a bit up in the air at the moment !
Will the EU block russian oil imports ?
Will the Gov get an EU pass to drop the VAT on fuel ?

I'll get the ball rolling at 205.8, but I will probably amend before Tues 5th April.

Wait for it Kenneth 2.49 and it will be rationed .and like I told you about your Brexit Bread which has gone up 30C expect another 30C on a loaf of bread .Big Dommos Parish Priest recons if the price of Bread and Wine keeps going up he will have to ban coins on the plate in the chapel .

I dunno John M, if'n the EU block the imports of russian oil and gas which it kinda has to do then you may well be right.
I'm dreading rationing !

Ken dont be minding all the bolloxology about banning Russian Oil it wont happen but Putin might turn off the supply .Shell and other big Oli say they are moving out of Russia and will sell their shares in Rossnef or Gasprom thats all bollox .It is illegal to trade with Russia because of sanctions so selling their stake in these companies would be illegal .What Shell meant to say was if we could we would but we cant so we wont .This will blow over Shell will get their dividends from Rossneff and Gasprom .America will arm the Ukrainians to DEATH to keep the price of wheat high for their Farmers to export and keep the oil price high as they are the worlds second largest exporter of Gas and Oil .What you are looking at here is the death of an Empire the American Empire not the Soviets or the Chinease .Putin just proved that NATO /USA is a Paper Tiger no teeth not even a Roar .Trump told Putin NATO was broken and Putin acted on the tip off .

195.4. One thing I can't understand is why diesel is now dearer than petrol. I think there's a distinct possibility of other factors at work in the background.  Is diesel getting phased out more quickly than originally planned and they're doing this by making it more expensive? How and why is it dearer than petrol?

I posted already Diesel is higher by design to keep pertol prices lower .Government agreed to this .Why more voters drive petrol cars and most Diesels are company or trade vehicles and can write off the increase .Plus it speeds up the change over from Dirty EXPENSIVE Diesels to cleaner cars .Green Party influence .

It's all up in the air at the moment, some petrol stations are 10 cent cheaper fer petrol over diesel and others are 10 cent dearer ??
Best option is to shop around fer a while till things 'maybe' calm down ??

I wouldn't be believing too much of the PR news coming from Zelensky, seemingly every russian missile either hits a school or a hospital and russia saying the complete opposite, as fer the dead with hands tied, even it did very unlikely happen, then who would be stupid enough to leave the evidence behind ?

Ken do you doubt that Russia has invaded Ukraine or that soldiers frantic with fear and hatered couldnt just shoot people .This thing in Ukraine is going to blow up .The world cant stand by while innocent people are being butchered .If the Yanks and Nato dont give Putin his notice then Humanity as we lived it is over .I was talking to a lad works in a dual purpose racing yard and the trainer wants rid of National hunt horses and flat horses rated below 50 as he recons they will never cover the cost of keeping them and he is increasing his livery fees by 30% due to the increased cost of feed . The reason you would leave dead bodies is a warning to others  Back on topic 270 a liter if you can get it .Dosent help that the Environmental Nazis are blocking British oil refineries and we buy most of our fuel from the UK .

Here is another think I think about Brits,Yanks,French ,Poles all handing over weapons to Ukraine what happens if Russia invades another country and these countries need to fight .What will they have left to fight with ?

European Commission confirms import ban on Russian coal (https://www.rte.ie/news/2022/0405/1290436-russia-sanctions/)

Announcing the EU's fifth sanctions package, Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels was also looking at a ban on Russian oil as part of "additional sanctions" that officials were working on.

That was round 5 of EU sanctions.  There might be a round 6 or 7 or 8 involving oil if Putin doesn't behave  rofl

Just in case anybody didnt know the Russians invaded Ukraine .The Irish Dail will be addressed by Zalensky this morning and Joe Duffy will probably have a few dead Ukranians on the phone this afternoon so he can tell them its terrible,terrible ,terrible whats going on .Sanctamonious fucktards .We loaded up on Russian Coal last month to feed the ESB stations .At least we know Joe is a Shock Jock who plays up to his audience but Mick from Cork pretending that he gives either of his fucks whats happening .We can give time to Zalesky to tell us stuff we already know about but Dail Time cannot be given over to Hospital waiting lists or Homeless discussion .Dont be surprised if after Zalenskys address the Dail breaks so the TDs can enter the Dail Bar Grand National Sweepstakes draw .
