"Only people who agree with me may disagree with me".

Episode 8,934.
OK, Jimmy, they'll do for starters. But I have plenty more suggestions...

4. Withdraw from the Paris "Agreement".

5. Stop participating in the UNFCCC & IPCC.

6. Investigate civil society organisations sources of funding.

7. Suspend the assets of philanthropists found to be using charities as lobbying vehicles.

...
8. Repeal all post-92 environmental legislation, pending review of undue influence and green ideology.

9. Review all of Mark Carney's work and communications as gov. of the BoE & other institutions pending criminal investigation.

10. Investigate ESG lobbying outfits for fraud.
I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture.

By 2030, you're going to wish the repeal of Net Zero had been done swiftly and silently, without fanfare and without 'alternatives' by the Johnson government.
Ha ha ha! Shire Tories!

They're going to be selling their daughters to keep their nice big homes warm!

The era of the Swampy-Tory pact is crashing to an end.

Glad to see some criticism of technical policy here, but @PaulEmbery is wrong when he says that windfall tax and nationalisation are the answer.

The market did not cause the problems of the Climate Change Act & EU Directives & similar. Policy distorted the market.
@PaulEmbery A *far from exhaustive* list of the state's energy policy failures since 1997 is here.

@PaulEmbery There was not much wrong with the energy market before the European and cross-party consensus on climate & energy policy emerged to ruin it. NB: '95/'96 methodology change.

Aside Beijing Barry's questionable statistical claims, the claim that abolishing VAT on domestic energy would "benefit" wealthier people more defeats itself.

Gardiner has been at the centre of domestic, EU and global green policymaking, and bears responsibility for the crisis.
If the amount poorer households pay for energy is "more" (as a proportion of their income) than what wealthier households pay, then the 5% VAT is of greater significance to them than to their richer counterparts.

But of course, green zealots are no friends of arithmetic & logic.
If you want to know more about the strange relationships between the CCP and the UK's carbon technocrats -- many of which were appointed under the post-97 Labour governments -- read @DavidRoseUK's recent Unherd piece... unherd.com/2021/12/does-t…

"Mrs Dorries said: ‘This government said it would legislate to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online while enshrining free speech, and that’s exactly what we are going to do'."

Idiots such as @NadineDorries make such laws to protect themselves from criticism.
@NadineDorries You cannot "enshrine free speech" while restricting speech.

Making threats of violence is already illegal.

Unfortunately, being such a monumentally fucking stupid minister that you don't notice yourself turning into a fascist is not.
Safetyism is precisely the pretext fascists and other totalitarians used to close down speech.

Unstable, reckless, illegitimate governments seek power to protect themselves.

The government is a greater danger than 'misinformation'.

Why?

It's not going to cost you any less.

It's the STATE that created the mess.
It was the state that created the opportunities for cold callers and doorstop sellers.

It was the state that closed coal fired power stations.

It was the state that created huge subsidies for wind and solar farms.

It was the state that created the Climate Change Act...
It was the state that abandoned manifesto pledges to abolish fuel poverty.

It was the state that changed the metric by which fuel poverty was measured.

It was the state that tried to fix the policy failures of the Climate Change Act and renewable energy targets with the EMR.

The inability to make a distinction between a virus & pandemic on one hand, and CO2 & GW on the other is the expression of ignorance, confusion, actual *anti-science*, and mystical holism.

Moreover, we can see over the GW era a big reduction in deaths from infectious diseases.
She is of course, drip fed the notion of crises, which she is neither equipped nor willing to challenge.

But in contrast to any point in human history,

* there is no health crisis,

* there is no ecological crisis,

* there is no climate crisis.
Society should be challenging the weirdo mystical holism, not force feeding it to children. And institutional science should be at the front of that challenge.

Her understand is absolutely out of kilter with reality.

Up on TR in a moment -@AndrewOrlowski vs Bob Ward.

@AndrewOrlowski Evasive answer to Iain Collin's simple questions from Bob Ward.
Ward is always so defensive and aggressive, out of the gate.
