ITS AN ILL WIND… ANY RELIEF FROM CONSTANTLY RISING OIL PRICES IS POSITIVE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

Kevin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 07:34:57 +0000

According to recent reports in the oil industry press the last quarter has been the worst for many years, fridays market close saw oil prices at a one year low with investor confidence at a similar level.

Being perverse (even though I earn my crust selling a drop of oil) I see this as particularly good news insofar that it eases the crushing pressure that high oil prices impose on our customers to a degree, always bearing in mind that presently the oil price is merely lower, not low, as Brent Crude hovers around the $100 per barrel mark which was actually unthinkable a few short years ago.

There is currently little around to lift the oil price as the world economy continues to flatline, strangely if you ignore the doomsayers life at our basic level continues to function with some semblance of normality, the fact that a motely collection of assorted wide boys who trade commodities (of which oil is a component) with a vested interest in constantly hyping prices are currently experiencing hard times is, quite simply , tough.

The very fact that this time around its the wide boys that are most affected by the recession is both poingant and highly significant as it exposes the achilles heel of an out of control financial system that is almost entirely a victim of its own greed and folly.

The barren creed of milking everything for all it is worth, focussing heavily on short termism to screw a fast buck out of every knee jerk situation or market convulsion has quite simply run out of road, in the process this folly has sucked in a political establishment largely unprepared for the mounting tally of inescapable consequences.

Any current surge in oil prices would, at grass roots, merely stoke the furnace of inflation, damaging the most productive but vulnerable at the very end of the supply chain, it will be the grass roots of the economy, that productive worthwhile apendage that has for so long been despised by both the wide boys and politicians that will eventually lead the way out this current unholy mess.

The primary production agricultural and manufacturing sectors have always and will continue to produce things that are actually needed, are tangible and actually produce the real sustainable wealth so vital for a sound balanced economy.

I remain quietly confident that this recession really is unlike anything that has gone before, it is of an entirely different nature and its irresistable effects are interesting insofar that they result from what initiallly appeared to be a seemingly disconnected chain of events unwittingly unleashed by those currently suffering the most.

This obscure sequence of cause and effect came together assuming an unstoppable momentum constantly mutating and evolving as everything devised to correct the situation compounds the increasingly toxic mix that must inevitably run its course, the only certainty being that whatever the final outcome, things will never be the same again for those responsible.

It is infiltrating the corridors of political and financial power with devastating effect, enhanced by the failure of its delusional victims to forsee that it could, or rather more significantly, to even comprehend that it would and is indeed currently hammering them at this very moment, such is their apparent shock they give the impression of rabbits startled by headlights.

It is the upper echelons of our economy, the bankers, the bureaucrats and politicians that so richly deserve the currently occuring merciless shake out, it has been a long time coming but that time has only increased the ferocity of the irresistable market forces that signal a necessary but painful historic reconnection with financial and political reality.

They alone created the fertile conditions for what is now coming home to roost, it is they collectively who must bear responsibility for and endure the unpredictable consequences of the insatiable financial monster they created but cannot now control.

My quiet confidence in an eventual favourable out come is honed by a lifetime of relative adversity that is shared by so many others at our lowly level in the scheme of things that thankfully has given us the mindset that will ensure our kind will be around to benefit when the upturn inevitably eventually occurs.

I am not politically aligned but George Eustice MP who happens to represent Cornwalls Industrial Heartland in Parliament is talking a lot of sense.

Kevin — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 14:51:48 +0000

George Eustice MP: It should become a key objective of British foreign policy to break the power of centralised European institutions like the European Court of Justice

George Eustice was one of fourteen Conservative MPs who signed last week’s letter to the FT setting out a ‘Mainstream Euroscepticism’. Yesterday’s Independent on Sunday reported that George Eustice is forming a new parliamentary grouping with, perhaps, 100 members, that will “ensure that the current crisis in the eurozone is a beneficial crisis, not just a painful one.” Here he calls on Conservative Eurosceptics to put aside their weariness and “have one last go” at far-reaching reform of the EU.

At times of crisis, the future belongs to those with both a plan and the political will to drive that plan through. The EU’s flagship policy, the euro, is currently in crisis and we need to ensure that, in the final analysis, it turns out to be a beneficial crisis, not just a painful one.

Rewriting EU treaties to provide for the gradual breaking up of the euro would require negotiations which could place the very shape of the EU up for grabs and it is an opportunity which we must not squander but must plan for. It should become a key objective of British foreign policy to break the power of centralised European institutions like the European Court of Justice and to streamline the EU so that it does far less but actually delivers in the areas where it is capable of adding value.

For many years, there was a tension between the conflicting agendas of expanding the EU or delivering deeper integration among fewer members. The more countries you have, the harder it is to get agreement and the fewer things the EU can do collectively. The expansion of the EU to 27 member states ought to have been a triumph for British foreign policy but weakness and confusion in the Blair era meant that Britain never followed this success through to re-order the EU in the way that was required. Instead, the jaded 70’s agenda of “ever closer union” survived and, as a result, today the EU is a failing institution with a questionable future.

Many eurosceptics are weary of talk of reforming the EU and who can blame them? There will indeed be some political forces within the EU who will seek to exploit Europe’s latest crisis to make the case for deeper integration as they have always done in the past. But what if this time it really is different? The mood has changed, not just here but in many other EU countries where national parliaments are increasingly restless. The tide is against those who favour integration. One Brussels based lobbyist recently told me that the whole place feels rudderless and stale. It sounds like a good time to strike. As we proved in the euro debate, there is no such thing as historical inevitability and it is not inevitable that Britain will be out-manoeuvred again.

But such a plan will require Conservative politicians to overcome their cynicism and have one last go. The party has many old scars over the European issue and MPs who lived through the nineties tend to fall in to two basic camps. First there are those who concluded that they couldn’t trust their own government and feel the need to drive a coach and horses through their own parliamentary party now. On the other hand, there are those who concluded that Europe is such a toxic issue for the party that it must be avoided at all costs. Both these groups are wrong but the behaviour of each reinforces the view of the other. The more divisive motions we have, the more some wail that we shouldn’t talk about Europe, the more the ‘Better Off Out’ brigade feel vindicated, the further we are from being able to dominate the agenda about the future of the EU.

We now have a genuinely eurosceptic Prime Minister who is better placed to deliver than any of his predecessors, including Thatcher. He means business, can be ruthless when necessary but enjoys good relations with other EU leaders and does it all with a smile. The role of the Conservative Party should be to urge him forward to the challenge and, most of all, help him devise that plan for a radical overhaul of the EU.

I ONCE STATED THAT I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE THE TORIES FOR ALLOWING EDWARD HEATH TO SELL THE UK’s FISHING INDUSTRY OUT IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE UK’s ENTRY INTO THE EUROPEAN UNION.

THE INTERVENING DECADES OF BRUSSELS INTRANSIGENCE WITH REGARD TO THE DESPISED CFP HAVE CRYSTALISED THIS SOCIO ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMETAL CATASTROPHE TO AN UNPRECEDENTED DEGREE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHqNN1xI5lU&feature=player_embedded#t=0s PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THIS HILARIOUS SATRIRICAL SKIT WHICH PUTS THE CFP NONSENSE IN PERSPECTIVE.

EFFECTIVELY THE CFP HAS BEEN BANKRUPT FROM ITS INCEPTION BECAUSE FISH WILL NEVER RESPECT LINES DRAWN ON CHARTS BY BUREAUCRATS…IT IS DEVOID OF ALL MORAL WORTH AND HAS BECOME A FESTERING SCAB ON THE MARITIME ECONOMY OF EUROPES ATLANTIC ARC.

HOWEVER TIMES CHANGE CURRENTLY IN CORNWALL WE HAVE AN MP WHO IS TALKING A LOT OF SENSE ADVOCATING THE SORT OF CHANGES THAT ARE ACTUALLY ACHIEVABLE WHICH I CAN EASILY RELATE TO.

HE IS A CONSERVATIVE MP BUT IT WOULD BE VERY WRONG OF ME TO ALLOW MY STILL BURNING ANGER AT EDWARD HEATH’S SUPREME FOLLY TO BE HELD AGAINST GEORGE EUSTICE MERELY BECAUSE OF HIS POLITICAL PERSUASION.

GEORGE EUSTICE NEEDS THE SUPPORT OF HIS CONSTITUENTS DURING THIS CRUSADE FOR COMMONSENSE WHICH HE ALREADY HAS WHOLEHEARTEDLY FROM ME BECAUSE HIS STANCE HAS ENABLED ME TO MOVE ON.

THERE IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE ON THE HORIZON THAT SOME POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS WITH REGARD TO THE UK’s TROUBLED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EU MAY EVENTUALLY EMERGE FROM THE CURRENT CHAOS WITHIN THE EUROZONE.

I HAVE A STONG GUT FEELING THAT OUR LOCAL MAN WHO REPRESENTS US ALL IN PARLIAMENT COULD WELL DELIVER SOME ACTION ON THIS CRUCIAL ISSUE.

THIS MAN (BOB MARTIN) IS GONNA GET ME IN TROUBLE HE HE HE!!!

Oil prices are posting heavy losses this morning as traders agressively dump oil, commodities, equities and the Euro in the wake of the eagerly anticipated US Federal Reserve meeting intended to address the current serious economic problems.

The US Central Bank said it will relaunch “Operation Twist” for the first time in fifty years with the bank selling short term Treasury securities and buying long term securities.

However, the size and scope of the stimulus is much smaller than the market was expecting and, consequently appears to have deeply disappointed markets more especially considering the Federal Reserves gloomy economic assessment.

The Federal Reserve is reported to have said “there are significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global financial markets.”

As result of the FED decision the US Dollar is surging higher in another glaring example of cause and effect unleashing a potential chain of frequently unintended consequences when artificial stimuli are applied to counter real events.

This is a bearish development for oil prices. although a rising Dollar makes oil more expensive in local currency terms it reduces the need for investors to hedge their Dollar exposure by holding Dollar commodities and as a result the overall effect is that the price of oil in $/t terms actually falls.

These already significant events are given added weight by an HSBC Bank report confirming a continuing slowdown in Chinese manufacturing activity.

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS DEEPLY UNSTABLE SCENARIO ACTUALLY LEADS TO ANY MEANINGFUL PRICE EASEMENT FOR HARD PRESSED CONSUMERS GIVEN THE CONTINUING LIKELIHOOD OF FURTHER EXTREME KNEEJERK REACTIONS REFERRED TO IN THE UPDATE OF YESTERDAYS US STOCK REPORT POST.

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY REGISTERED YOUR SUPPORT PLEASE DO SO NOW.

Dear FairFuelUK Supporter,

It appears that the Government and institutions like the International Monetary Fund are finally accepting that more needs to be done to increase growth in the economy. There are substantial rumours that the Government might be trying to bring forward spending on major infrastructure projects to boost growth.

This may be a good idea. However, in all of these discussions, the politicians are not even discussing that CUTTING FUEL DUTY NOW could actually be a major part of the answer! A fuel duty cut now would boost growth, reduce inflation and create jobs. Additionally, we believe that the Government itself would gain, as the greater economic activity would yield more tax.

To get the politicians talking about this as an option, we now only need 8,000 extra signatures at http://bit.ly/FFUK-Gov.

When we hit the 100,000 target we will force a full Parliamentary debate on this issue. FairFuelUK, the RAC, FTA and RHA will then have your mandate to make them see sense.

Additionally, over coming weeks, we will be asking our supporters to write and email their MPs to put our case.

For now, our main priority is getting the 100,000 signatures on http://bit.ly/FFUK-Gov

Our economic case for a cut in fuel duty now can be downloaded from http://bit.ly/FFUKprospectus

We ask your understanding if you have already signed. This ePetition is different than any that we have done before as it is on the Governments own servers and we have no way of knowing which of our supporters has signed.

WHERE ON EARTH HAS ALL THIS OIL SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED TO?

Kevin — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:09:00 +0000

US DEPT OF ENERGY WEEKLY STOCK REPORT 21/09/2011

Crude Stocks: Down 7.3 million barrels (FROM WHERE?)

Distillate Stocks: Down 874,000 barrels.

Gasoline Stocks: Up 3.3 million barrels.

Heating Oil Stocks: Down 292,000 barrels.

Jet Fuel Stocks: Up 1.2 million barrels.

Diesel Stocks: Down 582,000 barrels.

US DEMAND:

Total Product Demand: Up 370,000 barrels. (THESE 3 FIGURES DO NOT EQUATE TO A DRAW OF 7.3 MILLION BARRELS)

Distillate Demand: Up 217,000 barrels.

Gasoline Demand: Up 10,000 barrels.

AS ON SEVERAL RECENT WEDNESDAYS THESE FIGURES APPEAR SUSPECT.

THURS MORNING UPDATE.

THERE APPEAR TO BE A MASS OF CONTRADICTIONS HERE AS THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API) HAVE REPORTED A 2.57 MILLION BARREL STOCK BUILD WHICH INDICATES THERE IS A HUGE ERROR SOMEWHERE IN THE US STOCK ASSESMENT SYSTEM.

THE US ENERGY DEPARTMENT WHOSE PREVIOUS FIGURES YESTERDAY WERE FRANKLY BIZARRE SUCEEDED IN MOVING MARKETS UPWARDS YESTERDAY ONLY TO FLOP BACK THIS MORNING AS THE ENERGY DEPARTMENT REVISE THEIR STOCK LOSS FIGURE DOWN FROM 7.3 MILLION BARRELS TO A MORE PLAUSIBLE1.3 MILLION BARREL DECLINE.

THERE IS STILL THE UNANSWERED QUESTION… 6 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL TAKES SOME HIDING SO WHAT IS GOING ON… STOCK MANIPULATION ON THIS SCALE CAUSES MARKETS TO CONTINUALLY CONVULSE CREATING A BUSINESS CLIMATE THAT BASICALLY… SUCKS!!!

A LITTLE RESEARCH HAS DEFINED THAT THE US DEPT OF ENERGY SURVEYS A VERY BROAD REACH OF OIL STOCKHOLDERS WITH DISPARATE STORAGE CAPACITY WHILE THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE ONLY SURVEYS MAJOR OIL COMPANIES AND REFINERS.

ANTICIPATION BY TRADERS OF THESE WEEKLY SETS OF FIGURES PRODUCES A VERY REACTIVE MARKET THAT THRIVES ON KNEEJERKS AND SHORT TERM CONVULSIONS… BASICALLY A TRADERS CHARTER.

IT MAY PAY YOU TO GET SOME 28 SECOND DOMESTIC KEROSENE CENTRAL HEATING BOILER FUEL OIL IN IF THIS FORECAST IS RIGHT IN CORNWALL.

Dig out your hat and scarf and get ready for an early winter; forecasters are predicting that snow will fall in Britain as early as next month.

Andrew Milligan, PA

Temperatures will fall sharply over the coming months and are forecast to drop below average for the time of year.

Long-range forecasters at Exacta Weather have also said that we should brace ourselves for another brutal winter from December through to February.

James Madden said: “As we head towards winter, I expect to see the first signs of some moderate to heavy snowfalls as early as October or November in certain parts of the UK.

“I expect December, January, and February to experience below-average temperatures, with the heaviest snowfalls occurring within the time frame of November to January across many parts of the UK.”

Mr Madden added that the UK will face ”prolonged periods of extreme cold and snow from the Arctic regions as cold easterlies or north-easterlies develop”.

The Met Office also warned that we should expect colder-than-average nights at the beginning of October, which would bring with them the chance of overnight frosts. The Midlands and the South-east are expected to bear the brunt of the cold snap.

Heavy snowfall and freezing conditions have caused chaos across Britain for the last two winters and it looks like we can expect more of the same this time round.

THREE MONTHS OF STRONG WESTERLY WINDS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A LA NINA COOLING EVENT IN THE TROPICAL PACIFIC (THE OPPOSITE OF THE BETTER KNOWN WARMING EL NINO EVENT) MAY BE BEHIND THIS FORECAST OF AN EARLY AND POSSIBLY PROLONGED COLD SPELL.

NATURE HAS A REPUTATION FOR EVENING WEATHER OUT OVER A PERIOD SO MAYBE WE ARE SET FOR A PROLONGED SPELL OF COLD EASTERLIES TO COMPENSATE… CERTAINLY IF HEDGEROW BERRIES ARE AN INDICATION IT MAY PAY TO BEAR THIS PREDICTION IN MIND.
