As explained previously... They *ARE* going to take you car away.

I'm not making it up.

If you don't think that the removal of your car is high up on the political agenda, you have not been listening to them.
Today's generation of MPs don't understand why you can't just walk or cycle.

They have no idea what you use the car for or why you unimportant little people would need or want one.

You having a car is a problem they want to solve.

So walk.
"Reducing the cost [of public transport] relative [to private transport]" means taxing people out of their cars.

No political party currently sitting in Westminster has any intention of asking questions about that massive change to our ways of life.

It will therefore happen.
It's easy to get misled into believing that the climate change debate is about whether climate change is happening or is not happening.

Whether climate change is happening or not, it has become the basis of politics without regard for the degree to which it is happening.
This tells us that there is an *ideology* of climate change, distinct from the scientific facts of climate change.

"Decarbonisation" is more about transforming society than it is about transforming the ways we use energy.
In this transformation, governments and politicians believe it is their place to decide how you should live.

This is a radical departure from the principles of democratic governance.

Whether or not climate change is real, it is a ruse.
That is not a conspiracy theory. The dynamic is not one of a conspiracy, but of a degenerate political class & wider political establishment that has lost any meaningful connection with the public.
In a democracy, the principles of the political parties' green agendas would be tested.

The most basic question that would be asked is: "is green policy worse than climate change".

Despite alarmist claims, it might be better to suffer the climate change than try to prevent it.
The scale of green ambitions is no smaller than the scale of twentieth century ideologues' ambitions.

And all of the parties being committed to the same radical, political agenda means we are effectively living under a one-party state.
They dismiss all criticism as 'climate change denial'.

They admit no criticism to their discussions.

They are not interested. It would deprive them of their places, and their reasons for being there.

Banning cars is an extremely political act, dressed up as science.
An example, h/t @UKmacD

A news report that features no criticism of MPs, no intellectual curiosity about the ideology, no journalistic scepticism about the legitimacy of the agenda.

So what's the difference between @SkyNews and Chinese state media?

@UKmacD @SkyNews That's not hyperbole. It's a serious question.

If broadcast media and political parties are not able or willing to deviate from alignment with the government, what is the difference between a one-party state and state-controlled media, and our 'liberal democracy'?
@UKmacD @SkyNews And here's another.

No questions asked. No criticism. No interrogation. Just obedient, servile, uncritical non-journalism.

Did you ever wonder how David Miliband, who oversaw the development of the Climate Change Act (and consequently Net Zero) landed a job worth a $million a year as a director of a charity?

Wonder no more... Image

Those are just *some* of the grants made by the government to the charity now directed by the former government minister.

He's worth every penny of that million bucks a year, as far as his extremely-well paid colleagues and appointers are concerned.
@CharlotteCGill @WokeWaste @procurementfile - if you haven't seen this tranche, it's worth taking a peek at. (On CF and DT).

Nasty morons, Liberal Democrats, who are neither liberal nor democratic.
They're like mini-milibands. They don't know how human language and communication work.

They are only able to invent stories about their political counterparts, to smear them. But they have no capacity for reason of their own.
I think the profound collapse of our democracy is understated. We are inured to it.

But here it is: a legislator claiming that another legislator is "pro-Russian" for his celebration of a newly democratically-appointed counterpart in an allied country.

BBC Media Action -- claims that "a free press is essential to freedom and democracy".

But when I revealed that @bbcmediaaction was working on behalf of dodgy billionaires and governments, to enforce particular political agendas they blocked me. Image
@bbcmediaaction Here is the thread that offended them...
@bbcmediaaction BBC Media Action were not concerned with a "free press" or "freedom and democracy".

They were supporting a lobby that demanded regulation of the press, to restrict freedom, to close down the free press, and thereby to limit democracy.

And they didn't want a discussion about it. Image

I'd call Gill Tavner a liar, but she's mainly just ignorant.

Children were deliberately targeted by the green movement at large, and their anxieties were deliberately provoked precisely to make them adherents of green ideology.

Green *wanted* children to panic.

Here's my video explaining Why There is No Climate Crisis (and why people believe that there is). If you've seen it before, move to the 17 minute mark.

There you will see the late Rajendra Pachauri talking about "sensitising the young" to climate alarmism.
You will also see extremely young children -- far younger than 12 -- regurgitating claims that were manifestly produced by the adults in their lives, including the green movement, not ideas they have produced by themselves. And those ideas are moreover false.

I don't think Dale Vince really understands how the green movement was conceived, founded, and pushed to the top of national and global political agendas.

Hint: it wasn't people power.
Here's another hint... Image
And since he's writing in the Guardian, this is another hint... Image

No it isn't.

Nuclear research of all kinds has been side-lined, including by institutional science, since long before you were last in office.

Meanwhile, subsidies to wind and solar scams alone are now hitting £10bn per year, and environmental taxes are £50 bn/year.
The budget for fusion research just got amped in the UK, but by a mere £200 million/year.

There are windfarms that earn greater subsidies.

I don't argue that either form of energy, in R&D or in commercial operations *should* be subsidised.

I argue that the priorities are clear from the funding.

And that a deeper ideological impulse directs those priorities.
