UK Energy Executives Warn Government Of Likely ‘Civil Unrest’ As Bills Continue To Climb

‘Energy company bosses have warned ministers they fear civil unrest if nothing is done to cushion the blow of rising bills,’ The Telegraph wrote. Moreover, a senior industry official stated that when people “realize how bad this is going to get,” the anger and frustrations will turn into violent demonstrations on the streets.

There was a major riot in London [in 1990]. That’s not something I would like to see, but I think it’s almost inevitable that unless the Government does take much more effective action to help people, there will be widespread civil unrest.

Tom Scott explained

According to Summit News, ‘The government is being asked to approve “radical” COVID-style bailouts for small businesses which face total ruination as a result of soaring energy costs.’

Several days ago The WinePress reported how a large supermarket in the UK is now beginning the process of offering interest-free loans for groceries.

Even so, Boris Johnson – whose days in office are winding down – is still pushing that Brits need to rally behind Ukraine, and send them even more money and weaponry.

We also know that if we’re paying in our energy bills for the evils of Vladimir Putin, the people of Ukraine are paying in their blood.

And that’s why we know we must stay the course. Because if Putin were to succeed, then no country on Russia’s perimeter would be safe, and… (that) would be a green light for every autocrat in the world that borders could be changed by force.

Johnson stated

Summit News also noted, ‘Even as many Brits struggle to pay for basic necessities, with food inflation also soaring, Johnson just approved a further £54 million of taxpayer money to be sent to Ukraine to buy new weapons systems.’

‘Energy bills are set to soar to £6,522 by next April, a level that threatens to push a third of the country into poverty,’ the outlet explained.

“Consultancy Auxilione said the price cap will be three times the current limit of £1,971-a-year,” reports the Daily Mail, with bills having been closer to £1,000 a year before the start of the war in Ukraine.

[10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. [11] By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 11:10-11

This should come as no surprise, but I mention this because it is not just the U.K., but so many parts of Europe are going to descend into chaos as the bills continue to rocket higher, and the government spends infinite money on endless crises.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
