Shrill To Power.
If only the government was more powerful, it would make fewer mistakes.
We can know this because governments with absolute power have many fewer critics.
The best way of ensuring that the government does the right thing is to prevent the public having undue influence over the government.

The public are too easily misled by their appetites and ideologies.

Only by limiting democracy can we ensure protection from ideology.
Therefore we should make laws against criticism of the government -- for the protection of the public.

Me in @spikedonline on why the government cannot explain its climate 'plan', why MPs are just as culpable as the government for policy failure, and why none of them can admit what their climate ambitions really are.

spiked-online.com/2021/03/10/com…
Here is the summary of the Public Accounts Committee report that found the government 'has no plan'.

The highlighted text is extraordinary.

"Government has not yet properly engaged with the public on the substantial behaviour changes that achieving net zero will require." Image
The PAC MPs' criticism of the government is that the government is insufficiently draconian.

Much as there was no opposition to the policies, and of the government giving itself ever greater powers over the last year, the PAC wants the government to inflict more hardship.

Whut? Take it seriously? Who is this guy?
I'm going back to bed. I think I woke up in the wrong reality.
There's a number of Youtube channels about guys building massive boats in their backyards. Some wood, some steel. I could watch them all day. I'd love to do that -- build a ship. Politics is just nuts.

Did anyone else notice the government 'let the virus rage'?

He's a bizarre political fantasist. He invents stories that either require the state to acquire new powers, or that make his political enemies culpable for things that have not happened.

Why would a man just a few years south of his 60th birthday and having only recently recovered from cancer treatment, and having been locked down for a year, feel a bit under the weather?

The only answer can be the government's DELIBERATE incompetence... Image
You won't struggle to find me hating the government.

But that means I want less of it.

George simultaneously wants FAR more government, but then constantly find that the government are just an evil bunch of bastards, who literally profit from things like his 'long covid'.

Climate alarmism is dead, long live climate alarmism!

Why do they ALWAYS demand more poison as remedy?

junkscience.com/2021/02/study-…
The above is a *MUST-READ* blog post - and read the study, too.
Alarmists are constantly fighting against the excesses of their own desire for prognostications.

Doomsday predictions pass, not just without event, but to the OPPOSITE of what they predicted: people being better off, not killed in catastrophes.

Hmm.

The Guardian is actually supported by a vast legacy, inflated by the sale of a used car advertising weekly.

The readership has barely supported the Guardian for a long time.

Let's be clear... The Guardian is supported by dead billionaires and second hand car salesmen.
Oh, and some living billionaires, too...
If it were any other publication so supported by billionaires, Guardian journalists would be demanding that there was a quid-pro-quo...
