'Help is on the way’: Russian diplomats spark fury as tanker delivers first ever shipment of liquefied natural gas to UK during Arctic blast… but fail to mention it will not be used in Britain

Russia sparked fury after Vladimir Putin’s diplomats boasted they are helping to heat up Britain by sending a shipment of gas as the country suffers from an arctic blast.

Moscow’s embassy in London tweeted ‘help is on the way’ as it announced the first ever shipment of liquefied natural gas had docked in the UK amid freezing temperatures.

A row erupted as UK sources said none of the gas would enter the National Grid because Britain had enough and accused the embassy of ‘trolling’ the Government.

What’s with leftist governments. When Russia was communist it was loved by leftist western governments. Now that they are NOT. They hate Russia. This can also be said for the MSM who loved the Soviet Union. Now that it’s no longer Marxist, they hate it.

It is a chilly 44 degrees in London with temps later in the week forecasted in the 50s. Most of us in the northeast don’t even turn on the heat at that temp.

You noticed that did you?

Western Progs always thought that they should be universally recognized as THE proper Marxists, and that the Eastern Commies should gladly install Marxism and then turn over power to Western Progs to administer as they see fit.

Failure to do so was the greatest insult, but add walking away from Marxism toward Christianity and you have the ULTIMATE insult and War from those who would be God.

The spokesman confirmed it was the first time a Russian cargo had docked in the UK and the first time an ice breaker ship had docked in the UK.

The shipment, estimated at 170,000 cubic tonnes, was then stored in the UK before being sold elsewhere, rather than being used domestically – as the Russians suggested.

It belongs to Petronas LNG UK, the British arm of Malaysia LNG, and was due to leave the UK last night.

The gas came from a sanctioned £20bn Yamal project on Russia’s northern coastline.

It is based in Siberia and majority-owned by Novatek, one of Russia’s largest independent natural gas producers.

Novatek currently faces sanctions by the United States government over Russia’s involvement in Ukraine.

Russia is now nationalist, traditionalist, inwardly focused, trying to recover its Christianity.

These are things the globalist, collectivist, multi-culti left (ironically, the spawn of the KGB and the Soviet Comintern) hate. That is why Russia must be attacked and divided. A large power opposed to the globalist left can not be allowed to sit as a counterweight in Europe.
