Cowardly Jenny Jones does not care for debate about the origins and philosophy and MO of her political tendency.
Greens don't do debate. There is no culture of debate in environmentalism. It expects only obedience.
Bizarre Jennie Jones doesn't mind her coreligionists depriving you of your freedom of movement, and the means by which millions make a living, but she is bothered by robust, free, open, democratic debate.
In the green view, debate is 'abuse' and having a different opinion is 'lies'.
Greens are people who didn't hear the word 'no' until it was far, far, far too late for them to understand what it means.
It is a developmental disorder.
I am serious.
Leaving aside the democratic problems of the HoL, she is not equipped to be in a position of responsibility.
She has no answer to challenges to her position. She doesn't think it needs to be debated. She doesn't think there can be a valid criticism of her ideas.
Jones thinks that blocking traffic is a 'democratic right to protest'.
The right to protest may well include routes that require closure to traffic in order to accommodate a march.
But it doesn't include blocking traffic as "protest".
The right to travel is democracy, too.
Simply not equipped for debate...
The fact and the problem for Jenny Jones and XR is that *vastly* more people want to use the roads than adhere to their extreme ideology.
If anyone disagrees, or dares to point out the fact, Jones' only answer is to screech "BIGOT!" at them.
For example, this is her answer to the point that blocking the roads obstructs access to one of London's most important hospitals.
It doesn't matter what the protesters let through, it's the traffic jam that obstructs.
Jones believes it is her 'democratic right' to kill people.
XR and the Green Party have made their case. Nobody in the country has not heard it. But after hearing it, very few people are moved by it sufficiently to vote for her party or to abandon the things that are necessary for their day-to-day lives.
Let's have a vote on it.
Greens are manifestly insane, unhinged, not capable of reason.
And I don't think urging other countries to war at our expense is any definition of "standing with" worth defending.
Hundreds of thousands are now dead because of "standing with". Hundreds of thousands more are now fatherless, sonless, widowed...
You make a claim on behalf of "Britain" that you have never tested, and which your Prime Ministers could not even deliver for us.
Do you stand with people who are now scattered in bits across eastern Ukraine? How does one "stand with" people who lay beneath the ground? How does one express "solidarity" with young men snatched from the streets to be forced to the front line against their will?
Other people's wars make Toryboys feel all big and important about "global Britain". But their Ukrainian counterparts' children will never know their fathers. War is glorious when you don't have your comrade's guts blasted across your face. They've no idea what they "stand with".
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...
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).
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.
@bbcmediaaction Here is the thread that offended them...
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.
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.
