Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.
LONDON (Reuters) - BP began on Friday shutting its North Sea Forties pipeline system, which supplies up to half the UK's oil, ahead of a strike planned this weekend at the Grangemouth refinery in Scotland.
...
"We have started the process which will lead to shutdown," a BP spokesman said on Friday morning. "We expect that there will cease to be any throughput through the system after Saturday night."
The 700,000 barrel-a-day Forties pipeline carries up to half the UK's North Sea oil output from about 70 fields, some of which began closing overnight on Thursday. A fifth of Britain's gas supply also relies on the Forties system.

LONDON (AFP) - British motorists could face petrol shortages in the next few days after one of the country's biggest oil refineries shut down Friday ahead of a strike over pensions.

Energy minister Malcolm Wicks admitted the strike could hit petrol supplies and urged people to behave "sensibly and rationally."
"I cannot guarantee that every garage, every forecourt when you turn up to fill up your car is going to have the petrol at that precise moment, of course not," he told BBC radio

Wow, any news on plans to deal with this? What is the Tesco/business response? Does Lord Gordon have a plan for spreading information about which stations have petrol? Does anybody have a plan? What about diesel prioritisation? Can they make sure the delivery trucks will run?
I am really interested in the nitty gritty of how this plays out. It makes a good test, provided there are problems, for the UK for the conditions that are likely to be faced going forward.
Oh, yeah, I bet nobody resigns over this mess either. _________________ "Hope encourages men to take risks; men in a strong position may follow her without ruin, if not without loss.
