"Who is proposing to switch off the gas and electric for 72 hours?" There was an article in the tabloids saying that Putin was going to target our gas pipelines to cripple our power infrastructure and that all UK citizens should have a 72hr survival kit to see them through. I didn't read any more than that as it seems like typical scaremongering. | |||

"Who is proposing to switch off the gas and electric for 72 hours?" Exactly, some kind of clue about what this refers to would be helpful. | |||

"Anything is possible with that cunt Putin and his moronic side kicks but to totally cut off gas/electric supplies would involve the use of weapons, not just covert anchor dragging. That would invoke Article 5 which in tun would mean the end of Russia and the end of most of humanity. I don't think that slimy turd is that crazy. " Strange that Article 5 wasn't invoked when the Nordstream pipeline was destroyed. | |||

"Th Nordstream pipeline was covert and no direct evidence that Russia was involved (although it no doubt was). In any case it didn't cause a shutdown." Any attack on the country or infrastructure should invoke article 5. Bit of a stretch to think that Russia would spend billions to build a pipeline to provide a major source of export income. Just to blow it up. | |||

FYI I did an internet search and the only people who reported this was an entertainment channel, GB 'News'. If that's not bad enough, the OP actually misrepresented what they said. | |||

"What are members views on the proposed 72 shut down of gas / electricity supplies, is this government scare mongering ??? Your views please " The government is not scaremongering, since there is no such proposal, which leads me to conclude that the scaremongering is emanating from 'another source!'  | |||
