Brown sends a message
Just what that message might be though is uncertain. Here’s the Prime Minister on October 17:
The UK must reduce its dependency on oil as an energy source and move to nuclear and renewables, the PM has said. [...] Gordon Brown said the Government’s strategy was to move to a low carbon economy and escape the “dictatorship of oil”.
The Saudis and other countries in the Gulf States are very important, they are the countries with great revenues and oil wealth. What starts with negotiations in Saudi and elsewhere can end with great benefits for families in Britain.
So, the message seems to be that we’re going to end the ‘dictatorship of oil’ by going on our hands and knees to the plutocratic butchers that produce it. It that it? Sorted.
Would anyone like to guess what the word behind the Prime Minister’s head is in this photo?

lying,conniving words of that order?
I would be tempted to say “porking.” However, I don’t know if that slang term translates the same on your side of the Atlantic.
Sucking?
