"The riots in Belgium and Iberia..."
This post was addressed to Andris Piebalgs, EU energy commissioner.

...are partly your fault. You are the EU energy commissioner, pipe dreaming whilst EU energy security drains away.

(...)

You should by now understand that when poor people get priced out of the energy market they riot.

(...)

From here there are two ways forward. You either have to admit that the current energy policy is a shambolic(*) mess, tear it up and start over - but this needs to be done urgently, within a matter of months. Or you need to resign and let someone else do this vital job.

(*)Bonus points for using the word "shambolic" in a sentence.
