The arrogance of this puffed-up civil servant...
They're not even a government department.

Parliament abandoned itself to this weird bunch of technocrats and cronies.

There is zero democratic oversight.

Note this word: "behaviour".

The quango believes it is its role to modify *your* behaviour.

And look -- they think they can tell people in other countries what to do, too!

And the quango believes it is its role to scrutinise the elected government!

Not *our* job...

The public were told that there was "no risk"?

We must have imagined Project Fear, then.
Summarised here...

It was one of many tweets that had been triggered by Claire Fox appearing on BBC Radio 4.

It sends them into spasms of rage. Image

BP deserves Greenpeace...
Could there be a connection?

Are they idiots?

This is a tragic case of a dysfunctional family turned into a political play.

I've never heard of this woman, who has informed no part of my outlook.

BBC 'journalists' think nothing of exploiting sad cases like this for political framing of debates.

The BBC would rather stich up important critical voices, by attaching them to the 'far right', and the likes of David Icke, to present simple true/false, good/bad narratives, than find let viewers decide between intelligent commentaries.

WEF's message is backfiring. But here's its essence:

"Power is being taken away from democracy and from national governments, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can either risk your lot at the whims of wild economic forces, or back us, the nice, caring billionaires."
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. He only *looks* like he eats babies, and just stepped off the set of Bad Taste.

He's a deeply caring individual, who has selflessly put the world before his own interests.

Everyone at Davos cares soooo much.
99% of it is just puff. It is fantasy, from people who cannot tell the difference from fantasy and reality, and are forced therefore to project fantasy.

But ideology is exposed in fantasy.

Don't be distracted by the fantasy.

They want "to place #nature at the front and center of decision-making" because they don't want decision-making to be democratic.

The #leaderspledge4nature is a pledge against democracy.

"Nature" is a fig leaf.
The "strong signal from governments" is not a strong signal from the people governments govern.

"Biodiversity" is the idea which will take power away from people to determine their own governments.

"Biodiversity" is an irrational, mystical and deeply regressive ideology.
"Nature" could quite easily be debated and its role in national and local policymaking contested democratically.... e.g. "do we want this development, or should we keep the land as it is?"

But "biodiversity" makes the parameters of such choices intangible.

This MP does not have a clue what he's talking about.

And neither does the voice over artist he bows to.

Their utter ignorance and wilful disregard for democracy will cause great hardship.
Here, he argues for MPs and political parties to close ranks against the public, to preclude democratic oversight of politics.

He urges MPs to join an organisation which is entirely funded by special interests, to advance their own agenda.

The Conservative Environment Network is an anti-democratic front organisation for the European Climate Foundation, which has lobbied politicians behind closed doors, using funds from a small number of billionaire's "philanthropic" foundations.

Net Zero is their idea.
