Farage & UK politics & media seem to have no understanding of business. Jim Ratcliffe is not a model of successful business. He is an asset-stripper, cost-cutter & someone with no record in innovation. This was Rachman capitalism in the 60s; we should call it Ratcliffe capitalism now.

This is just a scam to transfer money from customers to shareholders! How can it be legal to pay dividends instead of maintaining the grid? Nationalise it and put the directors in prison!

Iceland is also in the single market and Schengen. The English govt at Westminster also had those options but is too arrogant and isolationist to do anything to mitigate the damage they cause us all.

The main things that would help the world navigate its way out of the impending climate catastrophe are trust, diplomacy and fair trading as they all help encourage & develop the move to green energy. Trump & Putin are joint, and some might say linked, vandals in their attack on all three.
