Ex-Top Gear presenter accused politicians of “doing nothing”.
Ex-host of the Top Gear car show Jeremy Clarkson in an article for The Times said that because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the world, and the UK in particular, is threatened with cannibalism.
According to him, the two conflicting countries account for more than 25% of world wheat exports.
They are also the leaders in the supply of fertilizers and vegetable oils.
The conflict within the framework of Russia’s special military operation has led to the fact that the world has lost a lot of the necessary grain, and the price of fertilizers has grown to such an extent that dependent countries lose 20% of the remaining grain.
According to Clarkson, the increase in fertilizer prices has reached 37%.
As a result, according to the journalist, the food crisis threatens the whole world, and the amount of food in stores may be reduced by 20%.
Clarkson is sure that politicians who talk about controlling the situation are not really doing anything, but life itself is forcing them to deal with the situation, because a person cannot live without food, as without heat, clothes and even sex.
“Hunger makes people eat their neighbors,” he concluded.
According to data published by Western media, anti-Russian sanctions in Europe have led to an increase in fuel and food prices.
So, in the UK, inflation rose to 9% in April, reaching a record for forty years.
