Yes, it’s like something out of a dystopian ‘hunger games’ movie, except it is unfortunately real life. ITV News in Great Britain is running a wheel-of-fortune type marketing campaign where desperate viewers can call in for an opportunity to spin the wheel and win having their energy bills paid.
Comrades, it is not a spoof, this actually took place today and it looks like it will continue due to popular demand. UK citizens are facing astronomical increases in energy bills as a result of the EU green climate change agenda in combination with Russia halting the export of natural gas. The price of natural gas increased 30% today alone as Russia cuts off supplies completely. Europe is on the brink of the worst economic recession in history.
ITV steps in with a promotional effort that shows just how bizarre this Build Back Better future has become. Perhaps next week viewers might be able to call in for a chance at winning extra food rations, chocolates or even gasoline. Here’s a video to show what is happening. WATCH:

Good luck comrade citizens, you too could be a winner on the wheel of survival. It’s all in good fun comrade. Smiles everyone, smiles.

At least they happily stand with Ukraine. That should keep them warm.
“No matter what my German voters think.”
And if you are wondering who she is, she’s German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock
The Brits had better keep their fingers crossed that their own former Foreign Minister (now PM) has more sense..
Or alternatively, follow the lead of the Poles and queue up for buckets of coal right now!
Well the lucky winner can heat his home for a few months as winter advances, now, how do we solve this pesky starvation thingy? I know! Bobbing for cockroach burgers!
The new PM is a moron.
Its evident the globalists arent seeking geniuses for leadership positions.
What’s the Difference between Britain and the Titanic?
The Titanic still had the lights on when it sank.
A younger Merkel. They always look the same…
Is this one also former Stasi?
The USA is sending as much liquified natural gas as possible to Europe to bail them out from decades of Bad Energy Decisions. The result is US natgas prices will be 3 to 4 times higher this year than last. When the Texas LNG port recently went offline, natgas prices fell 20% overnight.
It is time to CAP the amount of LNG the US Exports. Especially now that the Chinese are trying to negotiate a 20 year contract to buy Trillions of cubic feet.
Yeah, it’s too bad there’s no one to bail US out of our OWN decades of “Bad Energy Decisions” (despite our recent 4 year respite).
True enough. But I just read last week somewhere that the Biden Administration is quietly telling our exporters to decrease the amount of exports in natural gas to Europe.
Looks like Brandon is throwing Europe under the bus to save his ass from a November whipping.
Hoping to avoid being thrown under the bus himself?
Say it isnt so!?
Exporters? Exporter…one, uno, that’s how many it took to make America the leading exporter of LNG in the world under Pres. Trump. Now…..not so much.
Just wait until after the Midterms and withdrawals from the SPR end. Then gas will go back up.
Ukranians can burn $100 bills to stay warm.
I noticed an Alice in Wonderland absurdity in a tweet by a British small business owner, absolutely flabbergasted and outraged at her electric bill, as she told how she had to shut the doors on her livelihood because there was no way she could afford such a monstrous bill.
Beside her name in that tweet was her virtue signal…a small Ukrainian flag. If her predicament wasn’t so existential for her, I would have laughed.
There are so many like her, on the cusp of losing all they have, all with their Ukrainian flags posted. They simply have not/can not see the irony…such is the steep price of ignorance.
Was one for a restaurant that was 10K for 2 months, read that businesses aren’t capped rates.
Ukraine aficionado now PM Truss who is as thick as they get has now said household bills will be capped at £2500. No mention of businesses, unless she means them as well. I see no indication she does.
She says she will lift the ban of fracking. But we’re talking years instead of months for that to bring relief…if she meant what she said.
No, I’m afraid the “elite” political classes, not educated as they once were, are in a deep deep hole which they themselves have dug…and they’ve haven’t put the shovel down yet. I believe this is the beginning of a nightmare, real disaster movie that will run and run.
New PM bestie, going to be Deputy PM and HEALTH Sec.
Get healthly UK.
I hope she doesn’t think that will help her transmogrify into the next Winston Churchill.
I’d be happy if she were half as competent as Thatcher. And that is an extremely high bar.
Isn’t it awful?? Her top two cabinet officials are a testament to her worship of “diversity”. I can only hope as Chancellor and Foreign Secretary (I think one is) they bring some semblance of eptitude with them…because those preceding them had none.
Truss may surprise us, though I must say I am not that hopeful.
Yep, got to keep that Ukie laundromat up and running.
England can declare itself part of Ukraine.
That should gaurantee Biden send them a few billion dollars of ours to assuage their situation.
Seeing basic necessities getting to be more and more out of reach is what triggers uprisings. In Naples, Italy people gathered to burn their electricity bills in front of city hall yesterday. It’s just getting started..
Just wait until the governments cut their home supply for nonpayment. The s*** will really hit the fan.
Klaus Schwab and the Build Back Better gang are slowly turning off the spigots.
This will ratchet up the stress on the population and slowly but surely whittle it down to their goal of 500,000,000 worldwide.
Which goes to prove that money and brains don’t always follow one another..
Because it is inevitable that those nations with access to the lowest cost of energy will dominate the world’s future economy!
They are idiots if they think they’ll be one of those 500,000,000.
More and more I’m convinced this whole WEF plan was designed by people so out of touch with reality they don’t even see how this will come back and eat them; that they actually BELIEVE the platitudes they’re selling.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
I really do hope that someone vomes out with the Time Capsule contents for the Georgia Guidestones monument that was recently demolished . . . there would surely be a list of the people who were on board with that 500 million population scheme and I think someone didn’t want their name seen.
My daughter had been planning on finishing masters degree in UK. (don’t ask, I was also 22 years old and full of wild ideas that were not well thought out.
Today I sent here this video. She is actually re-thinking the entire idea. I explained what the climate actually feels like in England during the winter and reminded that most folks from Hawai’i don’t generally have a great time trying to adjust to constant rain, gray skies, cold hard wind AND CRUSHING ENERGY BILLS.
A little reality is necessary to protect your own child from bad choices. She will respect me later even if it feels like a disappointment now.
God Bless America
How blessed she is to have a father looking out for her. I miss mine terribly. Yes I believe she will be grateful to you in the long run. I try to protect my grown children and it is difficult at times. Keep your head up Regitiger, she’ll thank you one day…
I always remember in 1984 that there was a demonstration celebrating the reduction in the weekly chocolate ration.
Maybe Biden, Liz Truss, Macron and all the other brain dead “leaders” here will start organising celebrations over the energy crisis. After all, this is exactly what their plans have delivered. Job well done….
“The chocolate rations will be increased from 30 grams/week to 20 grams/week!”
[Until morale improves … hey, it’s better than beatings at this point.]
increased from 30 grams to 20 grams
that reminds me of the nifty way our older brother taught us fractions in the back seat of the car on the way to see our grandparents in the next town over. He told us we could have 1/8 each of the pie (chocolate cream that Grandma made) and he would only have a 1/4 slice . . . 8 is bigger than four, right? I remember my little brother and I looking at each other knowing there had to be a catch somewhere. After all, he had sold us back our own toys at his last “auction”.
One of my brothers tried to convince me that a dime was less than a nickel because “… a nickel is bigger.”
I was only 5 y.o. at the time.
Heh, a common trick to play on young naïve siblings. In one case the younger brother was told of the oft used deception by his older brother, but he replied, ” if I take the dime my brother will stop playing the game.”
“A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion.
Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t resist the urge. It’s in my nature.”
What else could be said than what the video’s host just said – we’ve reached the point where other people’s misery has become entertainment. And, winter’s coming.
Yes, the Hunger Games!
@Bessie2003
Sadly, this isn’t new in human history.
* During the Roman Empire, citizens enjoyed watching slaves being forced to kill each other.
* In the Jim Crow South, White families enjoyed watching Black people getting lynched. They even took pictures.
And so on.
And still today crowds come out to watch the women-stoning, whippings of trangressors and executions in the the Magic Kingdom and various and sundry middle eastern nations.
* In the Jim Crow South, White families enjoyed watching Black people getting lynched. They even took pictures.
Bullsh!t.
I asked all of my living grandparents when I was in high school about lynching. They never saw one or heard of it happening.
They even had *GASP* Black friends. One elderly Black man wanted my paternal grandfather to come live with him if he ever needed a place to stay. They would hang out on Granddad’s front porch–yeah. FRONT. PORCH.
Mom had a little Black girl she played with and called her FRIEND when she was young. And her mother was great friends with the Black folks she worked with–inviting them to come in and get some coffee or a bite to eat after their shift. So, yeah. But White Southerners spent all of their time murdering Black Southerners. SMH!
Self-righteous virtue signaling on the basis of hatred of the South and White Southerners is a really bad look, especially when its based on “received orthodoxy” and not upon truth.
This is similar to my experience growing up in the 50’s in the south. I never heard of a lynching until we got a TV and heard it on the news.
This is all Good!
Well; until they run out of other peoples’ money!
Preview of the USA in 3 months.
“Preview of the USA in 3 months.”
The US will declare an energy emergency, and print and borrow trillions more fiat money, to further enrich the corrupt and bring on the self-imposed collapse even sooner.
The basic machination was demonstrated by the plandemic “emergency” was used to justify $7T of “aid”, plus separately doubling the money supply, all furthering an unsustainable and ruinous path.
All part of the Plan.
Decades of managed decline, ending in controlled demolition, leaving a weak vassal of CCP.
Relax. Zelensky will bail out the USA with a loan.
Or an offer to buy California.
The Winner of the Tournament of Champions at the end of the year will get an all-expenses paid dinner in Ukraine paid for by Klaus “Barbie” Schwab at the All You Can Eat Bug Buffet!
Dog eat dog World,…..
but sometimes its the other way around.
Bugfet.
We didn’t hear a single MAGA-hater bemoan the vast economic damage from “Covid19” idiocy, nor will we hear the European MAGA-haters bemoan the vast economic destruction – intentional as hell – from the Green Reset. They will continue to blame it on Putin (how convenient) and accept Dystopia as the better alternative to Trump.
Insanity. You can fix stupid easier than you can fix insane, and you can’t fix stupid.
As long as there are no mean tweets life is great – A TDS’er
The brainwashed believe the plandemic sacrifices necessary. They don’t see that it was contrived, that safe effective treatments which could have ended it in 2020 were suppressed by govt. And they believe that the masks are protective, and the shots are safe, effective, and necessary.
They also see the energy strangulation as necessary to save the planet from manmade climate change.
And they see the further energy asphyxiation, self-imposed by sanctions on Russia, as a noble sacrifice for “democracy” in Ukraine.
No amount of factual information to the contrary will change their minds.
In fact, the quantity and complexity of the information itself has been used to obfuscate the truth and bamboozle them.
The biggest part of this comes from the United States gutting its own oil and gas production.
Economic war with Russia doesn’t help, but it would be less of a factor if we had not ignored Putin marching into Kazakhstan two weeks before he attacked Ukraine.
Kazakhstan is a major oil and gas producer as well. And is now under Russian control.
Things are really going to get critical though, when Iran invades Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.
Iran will not invade SA and the GS… stop it!
We can finally nuke Mecca/Medina and blame the Iranians…and then nuke Tehran and blame the saudis!!
And this worldwide disaster is insanely stupid
Note that this is for people who cannot pay their energy rates NOW. Energy rates went up in the EU, in April, and are slated to go up massively in October.
As the world blissfully disintegrates.
I had heard of the movie franchise, but only recently read the first book in the Hunger Games series. I was surprised that it was very good.
But Sundance is right. I hadn’t however expected it to come true this soon. Well Britain, Happy Hunger Games.
Yeah, all that’s needed is to have contestants compete against each other instead of relying on the chances of the wheel. That’ll be the next escalation.
“May the odds be ever in your favor”
I’d like to buy a kilo of real meat please …..
Ok – taking away energy by making it so no one can afford it, leaves people nothing to do except contemplate their current hungry and cold condition. Which leads them to be hopping mad about said hungry and cold condition. Which leads them to contemplate who it was that did this to them (hint, it wasn’t Putin). Which leads to several hundred thousand people out on the street rioting because they have nothing left to lose. Which leads to those that did it packing up their suitcases in the dead of night and hopping the first tramp steamer out of the country, leaving an emailed resignation (looking at you Sri Lanka).
How did this benefit the World Economic Forum leaders? as they are quite clearly the perps in this case and are due to be fleeing the country they just burned to the ground. The answer to that question, on top of the vaccine injury numbers leads to some highly disturbing conclusions. I feel very sorry for the Europeans because they have been made ground zero for this absolute bs.
It’s coming here too. It’s global. Here a little later than elsewhere as we are coming out of a Trump high. But it’s dwindling fast.
All true, and they’ll be buying mansions in Florida for their safe havens like Zelensky (..that is, those who haven’t already).
And yet we STILL sit on our hands!
When you have nothing left to lose, you also have nothing left to fight with either! No gas, no money, no food, no resources . . . . .!
The ongoing proxy war with Russia is part of the green new deal.
EXACTLY!
You get what you vote.
Apparently not anymore.
Actually, we’re all getting what the vote counters say we voted for.
There’s a big difference.
Unfortunately that is not true.
My colleague in Norway says his electric bill has gone up to $25.00 a day, from around $6 to $8.00 a day. He has a small ranch at around 1500 square feet.
At some point we must take them at their word and how globull-warming all designed to destroy the people of the West. Perhaps it will keep you warm to know that our self-anointed betters will be skiing drinking hot-totties fire blazing and furnaces on 80 while the plebes freeze their asses off.
Our commonality will be their demise, wake up and stay awake and throw another swamp rat…err, log on the fire.
The malevolent lying forces which are the left and their traveling companions the unholy green cultists all scream that they want unity while doing everything their wickedness can to prevent it.
In so doing, I believe they are creating that unity which they in fact despise.
What will provide that unity if not the deliberate destruction of civilized and sustainable life which favours us all regardless of our underlying or physical differences?
We will be united all right. Against a relative small group of creatures which consider themselves gods, in charge of who lives and who doesn’t. The blowback is coming and it will be fierce. May God be with us in our righteous fight.
Right on.
I’d know these “gameshow” hosts anywhere! Pat Ohmjack and Voltage White! /s
Remember…you vote for socialism…once.
Sounds a lot like “The Running Man”
Good point.
This is why science fiction should never be dismissed. The best creators in the genre always foretell cultural trends, good or bad.
excellent example: “Anthem” by Ayn Rand
That was certainly what popped into my head when I saw it.
If you have only seen the movie, the book is much more detailed.
Did that dude have his thumb on the spinning part of the wheel?
I was just about to post that fact!
And they’ll be no better off with Liz Truss as she be looks towards WEF.
Liberal Democrat Liz Truss now head of the Conservative Party who does not know her geography without GPS telling her. But, she will be able to nuke if needed. God help the people she thinks she hit.
Satanic cult with a money printing machine

Satanic-cult With A Money Printer
“Welcome, welcome, welcome. Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favour…”
I keep calling D’Souza’s latest film silly because he thinks the theft of the 2020 election was the same-old shenanigans, just slightly more. No, the election was stolen months in advance, by the most powerful people in the world. They decided categorically, definitively to steal it. And they have also now apparently decided to steal everything everything else from us, if convenient, including life.
The year 2020 will prove to be the most consequential in the history of humanity.
Western culture was founded on the foundation of Christianity- take that away and you no longer have western culture, certainly not the culture that created the modern world. The transition from Rome to Christianity is called the Dark Ages. Our dark ages will be literally that – dark.
How many Christian Presidents or Prime Ministers or billionaires or CEOs can you name across the modern world? China could only have take over after the Christians were purged from places of importance.
And most ironically the fate of the atheist west may now be in the hands of the remnant Christians in the old Soviet Union. If a spark of Christianity remains in Putin, then the atheists of western Europe may have a chance to survive this winter. If..
Perhaps Putin and Russians are more Christ-like than most Western peoples are today.
Sarcasm,I guess, but the average American Democrat seems willing to lock Donald Trump up, for years, just in case he, or a close friend, committed some crime.
Just wait until the cold weather comes and all the jab/clots start to kick in.
There’s gonna be a bounty on some of those involved.
I remember watching a documentary about humor behind the Iron Curtain.
It was very imformative and showed how subversive humor can be.
The one part I remembered was a guy chasing another guy down the street saying. “Hey you stole my toilet paper!”
The other guy yells back, “No! It is mine. I just picked it up from the dry cleaners.”
Schyler Colfax, A demeaning joke…
SCTV had this show in its past
“Perhaps an earlier delivery date for Russian automobile.”
LOL!
The wording in that skit is awesome.
“Today in our STRUGGLE…”
“You lose. Hope the shame is not to much to bear…”
And just like twice before another great war will begin with European borders.
The French surrendered quick like bunnies to the Prussians.
It was only the prelude to the ugliness of World War One.
If Putin wants to conquer Europe, in exchange for gas, they will name every country “Putinland”.
The future, as always, is moot.
Another prize to be added soon will be a quick and painless death, to save you from suffering.
All the Pakistani , Bangladeshi, Jordanian, Arabian, somali communities that have metastasized in the Midlands and London will ululate by Spring when 70% of pubs will have closed … and then buy up the shuttered buildings for new apartments for their large polygamous families!!! Don’t forget the Albanian Mariners too!
We cannot be naive enough to think this isn’t coming here, soon.
The silver lining is that Albanian Mariners of the Channel might not invade if the weather in is colder in Britain than that of France.
New Conservative PM will be a TINO: Thatcher In Name Only
“Aww, go ahead and take them.”
The “new Margaret Thatcher” re The Falklands
Next year after making it through a brutal winter, the ITV launches the Hunger Games for real.
As food shortages become endemic, you’ll be able to play spin the wheel for a free suicide to put you or a selected family member😉out of misery.
I thought England exited the EU. Why are they paying increased costs generated by the EU freaks?
Another cruel distraction from the war coming from the elites.
This is making a joke of the suffering of many in the UK. ITV needs to be publicly shamed.
Disgusting regression! $10 for a shower!
At least in England you have the gulf stream. On the mainland not so much. And if you follow electroverse, the solar minimum is already underway.
Because Western leaders aren’t real leaders, since ALL of them have been pre-chosen, groomed and selected to represent ONLY the interest of the elitist globalist overlords …. here we are.
Because the scheme to raid Russian natural resources for their hedge funds failed…here we are.
Etc…etc…
The Tory Party may well cease to exist after these two critical blunders 1) vax mandates and 2) supporting Ukraine government. Deservedly so.
Is the game show called “democracy” where you hope your vote is accurately and honestly counted? The odds are unfortunately not in your favor.
that lump of coal for Christmas is looking a whole lot better now…
Recalling the early days of American daytime television, this show could be called “How Would You Like To Be Warm For A Day”!
They shoot horses don’t they?
Wait, not one mention of “Time Bandits” scene of the gameshow “Your money or your life”? Great old movie…
