So imagine that you live in the county of Yorkshire, and although you have never particularly liked the Lancastrian's you tolerate them because they are your neighbours, and if the truth be told Northerners are better than Southerners and that there is more that unites you than divides you. Then Ken Livingstone the London mayor comes along and says that he is going re-locate Buckinghamshire so that it sits directly on top of Yorkshire and Lancaster. Not surprisingly tensions rise, and over fifty years although no one likes war the bitterness runs deep. Suddenly in the space of two weeks, the Mayor of Lancaster (a war monger) attacks Buckinghamshire (just on the edge) seeing this the Yorkshire mob also attack. Buckinghamnshire, feeling aggrieved decide to respond with a disproportional response, this is not within the nature of war, but they have been persecuted for so long that the response has to be very strong.

None of this would matter if it wasn't for the fact that these three counties live and operate and are funded by one commodity, and this is a scarce resource that the rest of the world needs. As a result oil prices have risen vastly $76 and although many countries are immensely well stocked, the evidence is that these oil prices could continue to rise a bit further.
