I heard Professor Brian Cox on the radio this afternoon, in one breath endorsing the anti-industrial policy responses to climate change (not the science, but the policy responses), but in the next breath enthusing about the potential for our species from space exploration. As if it were possible to do both.
Yet this has become the political consensus of our age, at least among those who have passed the gatekeepers of approved opinion. Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.
I will stand for this seat of North West Durham, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

Very well said.
ReplyDeleteIt’s only the consensus among the Left. The US Republicans have pulled out of the Paris Accord and dismantled Obama’s anti-coal and anti-oil regulations. Just as President Bush removed America’s signature from the Kyoto Protocol.
ReplyDeleteAs ever, the resistance comes from the Right.
I dare you to suggest bringing back the coal industry to anyone remotely on the Right over here. Whereas the Left's biggest annual event is a colossal rally in that cause, organised by a continuity trade union with no other permanent political objective.
DeleteTrump exists outside normal political categories. But as Piers Corbyn pointed out at the time, Margaret Thatcher started all this (and she did) as an excuse to destroy the NUM.
