This article could go on three different threads, but I’ve chosen this snippet, worth reading the full article:
Sadly, it is also par for the course. The political elites in Berlin, Paris and Brussels have always seemed much more outraged by Britain’s efforts to resolve the crisis over the Northern Ireland protocol than Putin’s atrocities in Ukraine.
Brexit gets their juices going more than Russian cruise missiles slamming into Ukrainian apartment blocks.
The Kremlin gets credit for freeing up some grain supplies this week from southern Ukraine. But Britain must get credit for nothing. In Europe’s hour of energy need, the UK is helping by sending electricity to the EU through the undersea transmission lines which connect Britain to the Continent.
We’ve been transmitting three gigawatts of electricity during the past three months, especially to help France, half of whose nuclear reactors are out of action due to breakdowns or for maintenance.
Clearly this could not have come at a worse time. But so far British help hasn’t even been recognised much less thanked.
