Well, they can't say they didn't see it coming this time. I suspect the discussion went:

Govt: hey folk, how long do you need to figure something out?
Folk: grumble grumble three months should do.
Govt: fair dos but after that the blames on you.
*Three months passes*
Folk: rah rah rah why hasn't the govt done something? Consumers will face higher prices rah rah rah.

Concerns over food shortages as CO2 deal ends https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60152768

doesn’t look good for domestic AN production. Or the 60% of the CO2 market that this monopoly producer supplies. Seems a lot of people had their heads in the sand. Including HM Govt.

you don't mean guvs been caught out, surely
perhaps they were partying.
But no one in guv has ever seen a food shortage, other than weather etc, in fact for the whole of their lives, both the price, and variety, have never given them anything other, than we live in the land of plenty.
And suddenly that cheap food is being threatened, by not only by fert, co2, but covid and the threat of war, in Europe and the far east, rather to much information for them to understand, poor beggars. Well and truly caught with their pants down. It will be interesting to see how they re-act, farmers have been vilified as polluting, subsidised, and environmental terrorists, that are destroying the planet, and now, all of a sudden, perhaps we might actually be quite good !

basic foods won't run out, it will be the 'luxury' or 'niche market' foods, that will suffer, as food inflation bites. A proper dose of realism, needs to happen. It is down to guv policies, over the years, they have had a cheap food policy, that has kept prices, 30% lower, in real terms, than it should be.

how long will it take, for the civil servants to believe it, and then take them to convince the guv's. But nice to see someone is realising what might happen.

Maybe we should be joining the Russian federation, at least they want farmers and industry. Putin can’t be worse than Boris the idiot, he even got 130% of the Russian votes in the last election.

What about all the export taxes on Russian wheat Putin put on? Record global wheat values and the Russian farmer is getting nowhere near the true value, current tax is $90 per tonne!

 

[som farmer]

with some of the costs we hear for the 'hard wear' armies now use, one would think they could only afford a day or two, of 'actual' warfare.
But modern 'war' now includes high tech 'stuff', hacking into computer systems etc, which could cost countries more than traditional 'war'.
So far, in what is termed as 'diplomatic efforts', all that has really shown, is that the members of NATO, do not show the unity they should, and as NATO was developed to 'protect' Europe from the nasty USSR, and to keep Europe in peace, they have come across as weak. Something Trump pointed out, 2% of GDP on defence, as agreed, had been sadly lacking.

We have no idea what Putin has in mind, we know he has publicly stated he wants to re build the old USSR, he is unelected, and looks to want to stay in power, as long as he can, it's the 'how' that is dangerous.

Even if things 'calm' down, the whole 'balance' of Europe will change, things will never be quite the same, a new cold war. Putin is not stupid, he has been building up Europe's dependence on wheat, gas, energy as well, further weakening Europe's ability to act. On balance, this is Putin starting his power grab, even if thwarted here, he will try something else, whether cyber attack, with holding energy, or many other ways. Ukraine, is not a member of NATO, if it was, NATO would be bound by treaty, to physically protect her. If he 'takes' Ukraine, he will share boundaries with several NATO members, so that argument falls flat

Rather think it will be a roller coaster year ahead, best advice, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
