Why doesn't someone point out the obvious?

Producing cleaner air in the UK is not a futile pursuit. It is the right thing to do, and it is the sensible thing to do. Apart from anything else it is agreed that fossil fuels have a limited future.

Would you care to give an example  of how the UK has hobbled itself as you claim in "is to hobble ourselves excessively to reduce our Co2 output"?

You can be and have been very nasty with some of your comments. I AM NOT ALLOWING ANY PENSIONERS TO DIE. The WFA cut, which I have posted more than once that I disagree with, is about balancing the UK economy. A balanced economy would be extremely beneficial for the UK.

Oh please.

Cleaner air is a separate matter. Co2 is not dirt.

Point out the obvious and suddenly they want to talk about something else. 

Killing off OAPs on £218 a week is about ''balancing the economy'' in your opinion?

That's a horribly new low - even for a far lefty apologist like you

And Wilson closed more mines that Mrs T


Union's refused to adapt to better working more efficient methods that reduced costs, gross overmanning , plus demanding unaffordable pay rises they priced themselves and their members out of work

Deja vue anyone?
Plus ca change (the pink haired thing purporting to be a cabinet minister needs a history lesson)

I don’t think there’s single person on here whatever their position on the political spectrum supports slavery,nut zero is a different issue I was watching the news the other night can’t remember if it was the beeb or itv but they were wittering on about an African country suffering a long drought they went on to say that we contribute so many hundred times more in emissions than they do.

Whilst this true we are for now a first world nation and they a third world with much smaller population.

I don’t mind they point the obvious out considering the above facts,what I do object to is the “this is all your fault and you should be ashamed agenda” now if they went on to say however because China,India and so many other nations are still building coal fired power stations apace and their emissions make ours insignificant in comparison that would be acceptable,but they don’t.

This is all part of the self flagellation agenda that we are guilty for the past and present and should be ashamed of ourselves but we are not.

As I said we are a first world nation for now,because of the actions of different administrations over the last few decades that is no longer a certainty,they have all neglected long term planning which is why where we are now at the mercy of other nations for our essentials,power water etc.

They all went down the short term route to try and ensure they held on to power,carpet baggers all and if there had been a nod to long term planning we’d now have a reliable and relatively cheap supply of our utilities instead of being hostage to others.
