Green serfdom -- it's a thing. We weren't joking.

Not looking good for Jeremy Leggett @solarcentury

theguardian.com/environment/20…

Who knew green forced labour was a thing, right?

Climate policy was going to bring about world peace, abolish inequality and protect us from tyranny, right?

All the nice people like green stuff, right?

Solar power is nicer to people than oil companies, right?

WRONG!

Now you can ask your neighbours,

"Were those solar panels on your roof built by slaves?"

Because they probably were.

Still smug?

This is where eco-virtue-signalling gets you.

A massive slab of slavery, on your roof.

Everyone can see it!

Spare a thought for slave-driver, @JeremyLeggett - who has blocked me.

Presumably I did something really bad.

Not as bad as making £millions out of slave labour though.

Like he did.

Here's his website.

You might read it and think that he cares about people.

Uh-uh. Nope.

Jeremy Leggett is the founder of @solarcentury.

They didn't think to find out where their solar panels were coming from.

Or maybe they did.

Did you ever wonder why greens love China so much?

From the one child policy, to building an unstoppable torrent of solar PV cells and wind turbines...

China could do know wrong.

Greens didn't even mind the Chinese dumping PV on US/EU markets, destroying domestic production.

China really gets green stuff done fast.

Regulating human fertility... Mobilising the workforce... Abolishing human rights, democracy, rule of law.

It's not a coincidence. They're of a piece.

There was the @WWF, using taxpayers' money from @DFID_UK to fund illegal violent evictions, murder, rape, and torture of indigenous people.

Now there's UK firms established by eco-millionaire sustainability consultants to the government implicated in slavery.

Tell me that greens are 'ethical'. Go on.

"Oh, don't be unfair - nobody knew that there was forced labour!"

So, Mr Eco-Millionaire. What first attracted you to the one-party-state, famous for suppression of dissent & draconian regulation of fertility, from which you were promised commodities at a low price?

No point asking questions...

Gosh, @James_BG. Did you know?!!
