Brexit

Brexit, one of the problems.


When the people of UK were voting to separate themselves from the European Union, most, the majority of young people voted: no but with a large minority voting yes plus most of the elderlies yes too, the yes won.  In order to emit those votes, there was a lot, of real propaganda, and the "hybrid war" of Putin included under the carpet.  Russia, by that time, was unknown as interfering in any European internal decision but, was interfering in all of Ukraine political decisions and still is but the world made a blind eye to it until they, the Russians, aimed its war machine of algorithm to US using the already known: “hybrid war”.  And in US, succeeded. It is still as of now that UK is playing the “I don’t know” on anything of the “hybrid war” that was too, employed in Great Britain in order to enforce votes to get a yes for UK in breaking off the enormous processing the EU was converting, a power even superior to USA.  It was a future danger for Vladimir Putin, an evil of a malicious person, very astute in politics who has the ambition of turning actual Russia back into the former URSS and a person that was created out of the former KGB on that time.

Vladimir Putin succeeded in, first: UK, second USA; in Ukraine, it was for Putin ground zero and got a large piece of the cake. Who would be next?  Japan? China? France? No, he is aiming his “hybrid war” guns to Latin America …and the world of EU, USA and all super-rich nations do nothing.  What for?  The super-rich owns all big nations except that: they don’t work with politics, the control politics to work for them …see: they got in USA a cut tax of 20% of all the billions of dollars they earn.  Lately, a bonus of 100 billion dollars.

Democracy, wake up!

Northern Ireland faces blackouts and drastic electricity price rises in the event of a no-deal Brexit, leaked government documents reveal.

The country would likely be cut off from electricity supplies from the Republic of Ireland and unable to use its sole electricity link to the UK mainland, according to an internal briefing.

Officials have been warning for months that Northern Ireland’s electricity market could collapse, triggering “unprecedented consequences” and forcing authorities to prepare to take energy infrastructure into public ownership to keep the lights on.

 The government documents, shared widely across Whitehall and seen by the Guardian, show that in the event of a no-deal Brexit:

• Householders in Northern Ireland could see their electricity bills spike by up to £200.

• Energy companies could collapse.

• Diesel generators would be needed to keep power supplies running.

• The UK government has not yet talked to power station operators in Northern Ireland.

For more than a decade, Ireland and Northern Ireland have had a joint electricity market, known as the Single Electricity Market (SEM), allowing power to be traded across the border.

But that market would likely collapse if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, because there would no longer be a basis for staying in the SEM. A deal with the EU is described as “essential” to the market’s future.

“Without a deal there are significant price and security of supply risks for Northern Ireland,” according to the government briefing. Those include “electricity blackouts”, “up to 34% increase in [electricity] bills”, and the need for “heavy government intervention”.

Officials expect that for two years Northern Ireland would not be able to draw power supplies from the country’s sole electricity link to the UK mainland, the Moyle interconnector to Scotland, while new cross-border arrangements were drawn up.

One of the country’s main power stations, the Kilroot plant in County Antrim, is due to close on Sunday, after it failed to secure subsidies to provide backup power.

The Unite union said that the warnings of blackouts should lead to a rethink the closure of Kilroot, which represents more than a third of the country’s electricity generating capacity.
