Any possibility of a settlement in Korea is obviously to be welcomed. Not only, but not least, because it would shame the Clinton-Biden Democrats and their wannabes in countries such as Britain, who will shriek that hostilities ought to be kept open, just because.
But Donald Trump looks at North Korea and sees the coal that his dynasty might supply to a dependent world deep into the twenty-second century. Yet we have our own coal, right here under our feet. Britain was the world leader in clean coal technology until the Miners’ Strike. Britain can and must be that world leader again. It is a Yes-No question, “Do you regret the defeat of the miners in 1985?” The correct answer is, “Yes.” Horror stories about how coal was burned or mined in the Britain of the twentieth century have no relevance to the Britain of the twenty-first.
I strongly support the exploitation of the vast reserves of coal in this country and in this county. That, and the extension of civil nuclear power, are the backbone of an all-of-the-above energy policy, and they are the means of delivering highly paid, highly skilled, high status, unionised jobs while securing independence from Arab oil, from Russian gas, and from coal that has been mined using child and slave labour. For example, wind turbines are largely made of steel, yet many people seem to be blissfully unaware of how steel is made.
There would of course be resistance to all of this from within the disconnected parliamentary caucuses that bore the names, but very little else, of the two main parties. Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party will be registered in the coming days, even if I have to pay for it myself, ongoing lawfare or no ongoing lawfare.
And I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
