THE LAST DITCH

Link: The UK Daily Pundit: Chattering Classes Hijacking Democracy.

Exactly. And another thing the eco-fascists don’t tell you is how many would die as a consequence of scaling back modern civilisation to meet their emissions targets.

Don’t worry. Those targets won’t be met anyway. Britain produces less that 2% of the world’s carbon emissions. Production won’t be reduced; it will simply be transferred to India and China. Britain will be taxed to oblivion for nothing. “Climate change”, like the “war on terror” is just a pretext for a larger state, with more government powers and more taxes.

    When I suggested at Crooked Timber that belief in Global Warming was on a par with belief in attacking Iraq, the response was rather hysterical.

    Interesting that you should employ the term eco-fascist because those sentiments I’ve now seen three times this morning on various blogs. And it’s true – they are the new mafia, the intolerant vendors of compulsion, the PC left. The whole ecological argument has been hijacked.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
