However the impact is on world oil price hence your own price rises.

I didn't say the UK, I said Europe.
If Europe can meet its own petroleum needs, why were they so dependent on Russian imports before the Ukraine war?

Yes, price is a concern, but shortages are completely different. I remember all too well, having to wait in long lines to purchase gas in 1973 and 1979, as well as having to limit weekend trips to a distance that I could cover without refueling when all the gas stations were closed on weekends. The US will suffer some pain from higher fuel prices, but nothing like what happens when you run short.
