Six days left to watch this excellent study of a civilised and civilising world which was destroyed because the State refused to do its duty and maintain that civilisation's economic basis, which was itself an integral and indispensable part of our national sovereignty and of our national security.

Peter Hitchens, (who is used to being the only Right-winger on the panel whenever he's invited on the BBC), was the only one to speak against the EU's closure of our coal-fired power stations on BBCQT-like he was the only one to speak against Miliband's green taxes and the green, anti-coal agenda in general.
ReplyDeleteIn America, people who speak out against the green agenda are "evil right-wing oil chimps". It's not much different, here.
Contrary to what Owen Jones said, Germany is actually building more coal-fired power stations, which already supply 50% of its energy.
As Andrew Neil explained to him.
The left-wing fantasy that Germany builds its energy policy on renewables is just that-a complete fantasy.
And Bob Crow was very pro-coal on Any Questions the following evening. (Anti-nuclear, alas. But the larger unions disagree with him on that.)
ReplyDeleteHe was rapturously received in Thetford, famous hotbed that it is, especially among its Radio Four listeners.
When the unions and the Left are allowed on, then that is what happens. That is why they almost never are.
Good for Crow-pity he's wrong on so many other things.
ReplyDeleteThe Green Left are on every week, as they were that week-Owen Jones agreed with all three panellists (except Peter) when it came to green taxes...and renewables.
His ridiculous Germany comparison only showed his ignorance of the subject.
There isn't one leftist newspaper-from the New Statesman to the Indie- that deviates in the slightest from the green agenda.
On everything from wind-farms to EU carbon taxes.
Only a few Right-wing corners of the press-like the Mail--feature consistent criticism of warmist fanaticism.
George Monbiot once admitted wind-farms don't work very well-that's about as close as his newspaper has ever got to opening its mind, on environmentalism or on anything else.
