Maybe Britain spends too much on military stuff. That leaves not enough money for simple things for the people such as transformers. Russian people think the British people should demand a reduction in military spending.

Brexit (thanks Putin) £150 bn and counting

Covid - £450bn

Ajax Tank - failed £5bn

Boat people - £2.5bn and counting

We're bust and the country is lsowly realising that we are up sh$t creek without an aircraft carrier and the country is falling apart.

I just couldn't believe this yesterday. 

Our national airport closed for almost a day due to a substation fire!

Why doesn't Heathrow have its own substation that's fully redundant?

It's just common sense and fundamental engineering. 

As an engineer, I was totally embarrassed for my Country. Causing 100s of thousands chaos and costing the Country a fortune.

I can't recall such a Total engineering disaster where nobody died.
