"Read" (if you can call it that) about the London ones in the paper this morning.

I don't think it'll make a blind bit of difference tbh, Brown knows he's failed dismally at leadership, and the entire country is baying for his political (and in some cases literal) blood. If he keeps duty up, he'll go at the next election; if he lowers duty he'll have the conservatives and most of his own party decry him for being a weak leader, and again get booted out.

Calling for OPEC to increase productivity was an absolute joke tbh, IMO made him look like an incompetent fool (more so than usual) that ignores his own problems and hopes that other people can solve them for him. That was like asking a nun to strip because a pubload of drunken blokes wants to see some boobs.

This issue is really the start of a much bigger process that will eventually have to get everyone onto a war like footing to tackle the massive problems surrounding where we get energy from, how much we can tolerate it costing and crucially who gets it. We live in a global economy and this issue will affect absolutely everyone everywhere eventually.

How we have been living will have to change and evolve quickly and everyone need to come to terms with the fact that we are all in one way or another responsible for the situation and for finding a way out. Its gonna to be no good pointing fingers and moaning its the governments fault or that country's problem etc etc. Ok so we can argue the toss about fuel duty rates now but in the future having any at all at a cost that will allow the economy to survive will be only thing worth worrying about - we will look back to this period and realise that we were still living in cloud cuckoo land.

I think, similar to how Gordon Brown decoupled the interest rate decisions away from the party political arena, we need to do something along the same lines to deal with major strategic engergy decisions. We need the very best people with major powers to control this now. Captains of industry need to be brought much like during the war to galvanise research and development and production of new and viable energy sources. No more argy bargy - no more government this and government that - just get on with it. Its gonna hurt but its got to be done
