... the idea that Russia simply does not have the gas to sell is being to look more credible, and idea which we looked at here.
Does that not give credence to the Daily Express story that the EU is going to make a grab for our gas supplies:
BRITAIN’S vital North Sea oil and gas supplies are to be taken over by Europe under emergency plans revealed for the first time in Brussels yesterday.
EU leaders are demanding control of British energy reserves to prevent power blackouts that have left millions of eastern Europeans without heat in Arctic weather due to the Russian gas blockade.
Euro-MPs are calling for the creation of a European gas reserve, made up of British and Dutch supplies, which member states can tap into in the event of any future shortage.
The transfer of ownership would be enacted under secret powers written into the controversial Lisbon Treaty. It gives Europe the legal power to take over individual states’ supplies to “ensure security of energy supply in the Union”.
Ultimate control over Britain’s vast natural gas and oil fields – by far the biggest resource within the EU – will fall to Brussels if the new treaty, which has already been ratified by Britain, is adopted throughout Europe.
Can we please fucking leave yet?
Update: Some very worrying background from polaris.

More sinister that you ever thought... Just posted something I have been researching on this very subject.
I think the army will have to step in. First the bastards steal our fish, now it's our oil and gas. The Lisbon Treaty. Bet that didn't get a red line. These bastards in government and opposition are traitors.
'The transfer of ownership would be enacted under secret powers written into the controversial Lisbon Treaty'.
No can do. The treaty hasn't being ratified by all member States. Us Irish have voted it down and will highly likely vote it down again this coming November. The treaty can't be implemented until it is ratified by all member States.
So your gas is safe.
