Boris on inflation: “The state will embrace the people with its weapons, as it did during the Kovid period”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the state would “re-embrace the British as we did during the Covid period” due to the rising cost of living and the inflationary crisis.

The British prime minister speaks at a Conservative Party conference he led in Wales; here a decentralized government – roughly equivalent to a US state government – is led by the rival Labor Party.

“I’m not going to argue that we can magically write off all the costs people face as a result of rising energy prices around the world,” Johnson said of rising fuel and energy prices at home. The conflict in Ukraine and the sanctions war that the UK and much of the West are fighting with Russia, but also because of the prime minister and his predecessors’ long-standing obsession with pushing for a green agenda that shuts down coal plants. . down, hydraulic fracturing stopped and exploration of gas and oil fields and new mines became more difficult.

“As the hardest thing about Covid is true, we also got the important challenges right, we will save this country from the great post-Covid aftershocks, especially the pressures caused by the rising cost of living. ‘, said the Prime Minister – his reference to the supposedly correct acceptance of the ‘big challenge’ due to the pandemic is perhaps an implicit indication that he did not understand what could be described as a minor call to respect his own rules. Dozens of Downing Street people have been fined for violations as part of the ongoing ‘party’ saga.

“Everybody sees what’s going on, the cost of the fuel pump, the cost of food, the cost of energy, we all know how hard it is and how hard it is,” Johnson continued, “Of course we can get through this. This and eventually the markets will adapt, new supply will emerge and prices will fall again.”

“We need to do what we did before in the coming months, we will use the financial strength we have built to help,” he said.[w]We will embrace the British again, as we did in the Covid period,” he said.

Prime Minister Johnson also referred to the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on global food prices, as grain exports from the so-called “breadbasket” of Europe have been severely interrupted and Russia’s grain exports have been largely eliminated due to sanctions.

The Conservative leader discussed the issue directly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday. disclosure “They discussed how we can avert the global economic damage caused by Putin’s reckless blockade of Black Sea ports.”

“We are urgently exploring options for opening critical sea and land routes for Ukraine’s grain supply,” Johnson added, but the first may be difficult without a direct military confrontation because of Russia’s close domination and conquest of Ukrainian territorial waters. one of the major port cities.

The Ukraine war and related sanctions could lead to a serious global food crisis, exacerbating natural problems such as a lack of precipitation, causing some farmers in Europe to still rely on crop shortages.

Not only do European farmers rely on Ukrainian and Russian feed and fertilizer, many troubled third world countries such as Yemen also rely on imports for a large part of their total food supply.

“If you think we’re in hell on earth right now, brace yourself,” said David Beasley, director-general of the UN World Food Bank and former GOP governor of South Carolina, in late March.

“If we leave North Africa, North Africa will come to Europe. If we leave the Middle East, [the] Heading to Central Eastern Europe,” he said, emphasizing that his agency would need “billions” of additional funding to prevent another migration crisis.

Such alarms were not sounded only by globalist technocrats: “The embargo on Russia will exclude Russian grain from the world market, war will exclude Ukrainian grain, there will be famine in many parts of the world from which immigrants left. . Hungarian national conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned earlier this month.
