As Donal Blaney says: WTF?!

The warmist fanatics have recruited another two nutters! Thanks Donal!

No More Rubbish Taxes!

We have weekly collections in my North Midlands town. One week it is non-recycleable waste (grey wheelie bin) and the next it is recyceable items (garden waste and cardboard in a green wheelie bin).

But we also have a fortnightly "blue box" collection of glass, metal and batteries (in a separate recyclable bag) as well as a "blue bag" for (news)paper - but not envelopes because of the glue!

However, we have to take all our plastic packaging to a recycling point. For us this is not really a problem as we can drop it off (about once a week) when we visit our favourite supermarket.

We also compost all the vegetable waste, tea bags, egg cartons, egg shells, etc that we can. It is all added to our garden soil which we use to grow flowers, shrubs and a few vegetables and herbs.

As far as I am concerned my family can do no more to recycle. The system in place in our town seems to work reasonably well. If we were to be charged extra by our local council for the quantity of waste they take away from our house I would regard this as just another attempt to apply a stealth tax.

Let's get all this "green" stuff in proportion. There are limits to what responsible individuals can do to save the planet.

Are you starving?

What should worry all of us more than the issue of whether so-called climate change is anthropogenic is the unintended consequences of this proposition on world food production.


Thanks partly to the Gore-induced panic, cereal production for human consumption (via animal feeds as well) is being switched to biofuel production. This is at a time when China and other rapidly developing countries are soaking up more and more of the world's wheat, meat and dairy products - and paying top dollar too - while we too are reducing our staple food output.


Time for Great Britain to stop thinking we can affect global changes in weather conditions by any kind of unilateral action and just concentrate on protecting our population's needs for the future.


We are used to relatively cheap food. The shock of 50% or 70% increases in our household food bills in the next few years will be worse than the rises in all the other taxes that Brown has imposed on us for the last 10 years.


Or is he going to nationalise Tesco as well as Northern Rock?
