00:00Well, I understand that the government is concerned about the chaos you might get in airports with lots of flights
00:06being cancelled at the last minute.
00:09And that's horrible if you're going on your family holiday, you know, what you've dreamt and saved up for,
00:14and you suddenly find that instead you're spending 48 hours, you know, on the floor in an airport.
00:19So none of us want to see that to happen.
00:22But my overall problem with what the government is doing, or rather not doing to do with the crisis and
00:27the impact on energy supplies,
00:28is their total lack of action. They're not taking it seriously enough.
00:32For instance, we're due to get a significant increase on fuel duty coming in the autumn.
00:37That's on top of the huge increases people have already seen at the pumps and price of filling up their
00:42vehicle going up so much.
00:44And the government is simply not taking energy security seriously.
00:47Instead of supporting oil and gas being extracted from our own industry in the North Sea,
00:52the government has cracked down on that and completely put a stop to extraction for North Sea, more or less.
00:58They really need to change tack on that. That's very important for energy security.
