In the grand tradition of British political strategy — also known as shooting oneself in both feet while wearing clown shoes — the government cheers the closure of one of the country’s last oil refineries. Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband is still clinging to the idea that this is somehow progress, while Sharon Graham of Unite is practically screaming, “SACK HIM!” like it’s a pub chant.
Because here’s the genius plan: if Britain ever goes to war, we’ll just… wait politely for another country to refine our oil. Maybe ask nicely, queue up, bring a tray of scones? Perfect. Nothing says “energy independence” like holding out your petrol can to France and whispering “Please sir, may I have some more?” 🇬🇧🥖⛽
But hey — who even needs petrol, right? We’ve got electric! Forget tanks, let’s roll into battle in fleets of Nissan Leafs, charging every 80 miles while the enemy politely waits for us to plug in. 🚗🔌⚡ Imagine D-Day with extension cords. Picture Spitfires replaced with drones that need a recharge every three dogfights. The future is here, and it’s armed with AA batteries.
🕯️ The Great Candlelight Future
This isn’t Net Zero. This is Net Stupid. The UK is stripping itself of industrial backbone faster than you can say “import tariffs.” When the lights flicker and the petrol pumps run dry, don’t worry — Ed Miliband will be there with a moral lecture, a solar-powered desk lamp, and maybe a pamphlet on wind turbines.
Meanwhile, refinery workers lose jobs, supply chains get riskier, and we’re left praying the global energy market doesn’t sneeze. If “strategic reserve” now means crossing our fingers and hoping Norway picks up the phone, Britain’s war plan is basically:
- Step 1: Panic.
- Step 2: Carpool.
- Step 3: Draft the ducks. 🦆⚔️

Would you trust Britain’s war effort to a charging cable and a backup generator? Is Sharon Graham right that Ed Miliband should be booted, or is the “electric cavalry” going to save us all? Drop your fire in the comments — the best lines will be juicier than a petrol bomb. 💬🔥
