Time For Some Red Dust

I am very pleased for the people whose jobs have been saved by Jingye Group's purchase of British Steel. But from the constituency that contains Consett, look at what has become of "The Company". Isn't privatisation grand? Isn't deregulation grand? Isn't globalisation grand? Wasn't the EU grand?

Services are all well and good. But you can't service nothing. The stuff itself has to come from somewhere. Refusing to make our own goods, and to protect those industries, is how we have ended up in the middle of a trade war between China and the United States, which do still make things, and which do still protect their manufacturing base. It is also what has destroyed our steel industry, without which a modern country simply cannot function, and in which we once led the world.

We must not allow the same mistake to be made with Cornish lithium. The Liberal Establishment cheered on the Trump Administration's white supremacist military coup in Bolivia, the country that contains 70 per cent of the world's reserves of lithium. Lithium is of course essential to the "Green New Deal" and what have you; to the projected array of gigantic public subsidies to the transnational corporate enforcers of Political Correctness, of wokeness, and so forth, all the while dispossessing indigenous peoples on a mind-boggling scale. But we need not have any part in this.

Ours is the 2020 Vision of a new political party, a new think tank, a new weekly newspaper, a new monthly cultural review, a new quarterly academic journal, and so much else besides. I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
