It's so bad, even the BoE has officially noticed.Widely covered by UK press of various perspectives, this one a little more objective:
Bank of England chief warns over ‘apocalyptic’ food price rises
Bank of England governor in ‘apocalyptic’ food shortages warning due to Putin’s war
The Bank of England governor sounded an “apocalyptic” warning on Monday over looming food shortages caused by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Printing money like it was going out of fashion didn't seem to be out of his control.It's so bad, even the BoE has officially noticed.
I'm guessing the Governor is a lurker on this thread..
"Andrew Bailey said he has “run out of horsemen” when counting the shocks facing Britain, with runaway energy and food costs driven by global market forces beyond his control."
All of this was inevitable when they decided to bail out the bankers in 2008. And the average person has been in a very slow recession ever since. Now it's just speeding up.

"Andrew Bailey said he has “run out of horsemen” when counting the shocks facing Britain, with runaway energy and food costs driven by global market forces beyond his control."
That's not how the energy market works. Physical reserves fall into three categories of Proven, Possible and Probable. Then the question is at what cost we can get it out of the ground. Of course at current very high prices all energy reserves look 'economic' but the truth is that much of the unexploited UK energy resource is simply not economic to exploit as a long term proposition.

Interesting read in last week's Big Issue, big pic of Martin Lewis featured as Britain's most influentual man on the front cover. In his article he too says he's run out of tools in respect of what to suggest to help people survive.It's so bad, even the BoE has officially noticed.

It's already happened, the recce party recorded their journey along the Liverpool/Leeds canal, way back in 1970's... The Black Safari - BBC2 Comedy - British Comedy GuideThere are mutterings and ruminations over in the "Russian Troop Movements ..." thread about the global impact that control over grain/plant oil sources will have, and a few have considered the specific effect on Africa.
Not wishing to drift too far in that thread, it may be appropriate here to bring an old film to the attention of readers;
The March 1990:
"A group of several thousand Africans migrate westward across northern Africa and sail across the Strait of Gibraltar to Europe."
The March (1990) - IMDb
The March: Directed by David Wheatley. With Malick Bowens, Juliet Stevenson, Joseph Mydell, Dermot Crowley. A group of several thousand Africans migrate westward across northern Africa and sail across the Strait of Gibraltar to Europe. Their message is: "We are poor because you are rich."
It turns up from time to time on youtube and other such media sharing platforms Be sure that it is the one directed by David Wheatley from 1990, as the title has been used many times over the years.
