Her comments came as the East and West Midlands became the latest areas of England to fall into drought as the country struggles with the driest start to the year since 1976

    She argued that net zero is harming industry, adding: “It’s a money making racket where certain businesses and individuals are making money out of it.”

    Then invest there you dumb…

    Maybe she should talk with a scientist once. Or was it more about the political statement, “That’s our stance”?

    Good time to remember that Reform UK are heavily funded by the fossil fuel industry (as if their words and actions left you in any doubt)

      This should explain things.

      I know the article is from 2006, but I doubt much has changed their racist minds

        2016 made it worse, also the influx of racist pensioners from London. I guess that they are almost immigrants is an irony…

      Can you narrow that down a bit before we book the ticket?

          Maybe, but even that needs narrowing down. An American friend of mine says that the two coasts are relatively sensible and everyone in the states inbetween are utter fruitcakes.

            Has your friend heard of Florida? And some of the northern states in-between are relatively sensible too - Minnesota for example.

              I think they’re in denial about Florida.

                Denial is the standard state of mind for Florida.

            Well, I can understand the feeling, but it’s not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.
