Guardian Bails on Hayes Greenpeace ‘Investigation’
+ + + Wind ‘Conspiracy’ Minister Not Energy Minister at Time + + +
Yesterday the Guardian’s Paul Lewis, based on an “investigation” carried out by Greenpeace, put to anti-windfarm campaigner James Delingpole the following conspiracy theory:
That Heaton-Harris and you were coordinating a secret plot also involving the Energy Minister, John Hayes.- You attended a secret meeting with Heaton-Harris and Hayes to discuss the plan.
- Hayes’ comments published in the Daily Mail and Telegraph on October 31, 2012, which were initially intended as a speech to the RenewableUK wind conference, were carefully timed to coincide with you withdrawing your candidacy from the by-election and subsequent endorsement of the Conservative position on wind farms.
Last night it ran on the front page the headline:
- Minister “Linked” to Corby plan
On Twitter last night Guido got into a spat with Ian Katz, the deputy editor of the Guardian:
@GuidoFawkes Haven't seen any reason not to but will look forward to your post tomorrow with interest. Night, night
—
ian katz (@iankatz1000) November 13, 2012Only one problem with the conspiracy theory is that it was – apart from Chris Heaton-Harris bragging about his links to Delingpole – demonstrably untrue. He and Heaton-Harris MP are both anti-windfarm campaigners, they are allies and they regularly talk to each other. No big deal, Delingpole is after all his constituent. However a plot involving the Energy Minister John Hayes would be worth a front page. Anyone following the issue would be aware that there is a policy shift going on and enthusiasm for the expensively subsidised windmills is much diminished in austerity governments all over the world. That shift was clearly signalled by the appointment of Hayes during the last reshuffle.
The idea that Hayes was in on a secret plot centred on Delingpole’s Corby campaign is demonstrably nonsense. Delingpole told the Speccie he was going to run in Corby on August 8, 2012, Hayes was only appointed as Energy Minister on September 4, 2012. The supposed plotters could not possibly know that would happen.
Delingpole told Guido when Hayes made the no-more-windfarms speech that he was pleased to be off the hook of running a time-consuming campaign destined to be unsuccessful at the ballot box – “I needed an excuse”. A pretty good excuse given the policy change was a complete victory as this blog reported on the day:
Even in the video recorded by Greenpeace, Heaton-Harris confirms “it was just fortuitous timing”, yet Greenpeace was still allowed to spin on the Guardian’s front page that there was a conspiracy in Corby “linked” to the Energy Minister. Readers might think it was a Guardian story, it wasn’t, it was put together by Greenpeace as a package for the cash-strapped, loss making Guardian – out-sourced like the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s Newsnight paedo story. John Sauven, Greenpeace’s executive director, says it was “their investigation”. If you outsource investigative journalism to a political campaign, this is what happens. Conspiracy theories replace evidence…
- There was no coordinated plot involving Hayes.
- There was no meeting of all three.
- The speech and Delingpole’s withdrawal from the Corby campaign were not “carefully timed to coincide”.
The Guardian has grudgingly changed the headline online this morning to “Energy minister denies collusion”. The wind has been taken out of the story…
Bored with the green bullshit.
Will no one think of the huskies? With the melting of the ice caps they’re all going to drown!
There are far more huskies alive today than there have ever been.
I am bringing in emergency legislation to issue all Huskies with a Hoodie to keep warm.
Oy vey! The UK economy’s up the shitter thanks to printing money. We must print £375,000,000,000 again for my mates to improve the economy. If the schmuck plebs fall for this shite again we have nothing to worry about.
at the other end of the spectrum well off texas, wants to remove itself from the jurisdiction of the US govt. 25,000 have signed a petition.
25000 signing a petition is not ‘Texas’.
Gone with the wind – The Tories want to be blown away in Corby
A petition filed for Texas secession had reached nearly 100,000 signatures by Wednesday, well past the 25,000 the White House said were needed to warrant an official response.
I don’t understand how UK is going to save the world when it emits around 1% of Green House Gas?
If UK ends up warm, most of us could have better summers and cheaper winters as we don’t have to heat the house as much as we do.
Next time when we have a green conference hope they all use video conference and not ends up costing millions for planes, hotels, parties, etc.
It will be interesting if Cameron could say how much CO2 his £200,000 car emits and why he needed a new car when the old car could still do the job. As well as, how much CO2 was produced to make the £200,000 Jag.
This latest example of shoddy “journalism” is still appearing on the Grauniad website.
We have our finest man across this , yes a certain Mr P Schofield
Has Schofield been sacked yet?
How much did the secret 28-gate conference cost the BBC?
with or without legal fees?
The wind might have been taken out of their lies but they still got it out to the sheeple on the Toady programme and the tv news this morning. Will we see a retraction? Will we fuckery!
Like Your Opera.
“If UK ends up warm, most of us could have better summers and cheaper winters…”
And we wouldn’t need to fly south for our holidays every year!
They are white. If they were green the planes would crash into them.
Guido, have the balls to call it “lies” and “smears” not “spin”. Just call it a bare faced lie.
The atmosphere has changed by 0.001%, it’s an emergency.
Buy property in Greenland or Northern Canada – it will be worth a fortune in a decade or two, when the permafrost has gone, oil and mineral rights and all that, or you could plant spuds instead.
It is head up the arse stuff. The Guardian cannot be taken seriously. Ffs. Shoddy.
They are just wankers
I’ve got bloody wind. 500 calories a sniff.
Heh, heh. It’s the way I expel ‘em. Where’s Tracey?
We will of course clarify our misleading report on this from this morning’s program.
Obviously a piss-poor attempt at diversion from the 28gate BBC list thing you covered yesterday.
That’s exactly what I thought when I heard the report on Today.
Me too.
Pretty desperate stuff.
One of the delegates at the 2006 Cambridge Symposium/seminar was Trevor Evans from the US Embassy.
The BBC’s Charter expressly forbids any foreign government or representative of a foreign government having any input, involvement or influence over BBC editorial policy.
Got them bang to rights in contravention of their Charter on that one alone.
It’s backfired spectacularly too – not just because the story has fallen down, but because it so transparently demonstrates their agenda.
It is simply too obvious. A Greenpeace representative was one of the 28 “experts” named. They probably had this on the spike to release in case the story came out.
Thankfully these people always leave their grubby fingerprints over their failing efforts.
Bet that AlJabeebya never mentioned the 28gate kerfufel.
Just because the facts don’t add up doesn’t mean it’s not true.
…..and even if they do add up it doesn’t prove that it’s true
Kinda spiked Con Homes story too.
it should be the defult position now on everything the Gruniad and BBC produce
…. we don’t believe you.
There’s no full stop. I saw a full stop a couple of days ago, and now you haven’t got one. It isn’t fair. It just isn’t fair.
.
About time you got to the point, rambling on as usual.
At least he doesn’t talk shit
Unlike you
(Grudgingly and dourly) Thanks. I was about to throw my Nokia.
Hey Bob, they’ve silenced me too! I had my comment removed, and all I did was agree with you! Time for another Moniker I’m afraid!
Moniker, doesn’t she work outside kings cross?
most things are not worth saying,
Tonight on Newsnight! We will be covering this shocking conspiracy! Not sure of all the details yet but we’ll check them after the broadcast.
There’s no time for that. Just had a credible email that the lunar landings were all fake.
We’ll be running story tonight – “Dead sex offender astronaut Neil Armstrong shot JFK”
I’ll be asking a question about this at PMQs.
I will be writing a letter. It shall be in the public domain
I will be tweeting to my thousands of followers.
*innocent face*
There arn’t any this week but feel free to turn up and talk to an empty House
I have now been informed that JFK has been shot.
Are you aware you’re married with 2 kids?
Janeane Garofalo, actress and wacko Leftie activist, was married for 20 years and SHE wasn’t aware of it, sez she:

ok.
didn’t know that. sad. hope it didn’t hurt.
but in a world when the packaging is not always honest.
Newsnight believe a unnamed Tory politician did it.
Tom Watson will be making astatement in the House
Why do you righties all hate the BBC and Guardian? Do you just want a world dominated by Sky News and The Sun?
Sky News seems pretty left wing on occaisions – Craig, Boulton and the creepy looking old man all pretty pink to me
I don’t hate the Guardian. I hate Guardian readers for being as thick as two short planks for swallowing all its bullshit.
I wouldn’t say they’re thick — more autistic like their editor, Alan Rusbridger.
My brother went to school at Cranleigh with him and they lived nearby. One w/e exeat we got a panicky call from him, as he’d gone home to find strangers living in his house. He’d completely forgotten his parents had sold up and moved elsewhere at the beginning of term.
True story.
Have you seen what’s been going on at the BBC lately? And now the Guardian? Accuracy? Evidence? Credibility?
But it’s ok because they’re left wing?
Sky and the Sun are absolute rubbish. Never partake of either.
No, I agree the BBC and Guardian can and are occasionally shit. It’s the overall contempt for them that is bizarre. Surely in a democracy all views should be allowed to be aired. And before you say it, I agree that the BBC shouldn’t be publicly subsidised.
I know what you mean.
I built all the roads in my village – do they call me Manuel the road builder – no
I built all the boats in the harbour – do they call me Manuel the boat builder – no
I built all the house in the village – do they call me Manuel the house builder – no

Manuel the Welshman?

Why is he beiing picked on for giving a sheep one?

What did the Kiwi say to the Taffy?
Mehhhh, don’t like the look of yours, mehhhh.
Given how its funding is forced out of license fee payers pockets, El Beebo has a statutory obligation to be impartial and ‘broad-churched’ in its coverage. However it is nowadays a thinly disguised Guardian-on-air and as such deserves all the contempt it gets from listeners/viewers who object to being obliged to pay for a state propaganda machine.
We are building a news studio in Tuscany, so that Polly does not have to fly back so much.
BBC and Vatican.
peas in a horrible pod. strangely both are powers. startship enterprise level. entities to be reckoned with.
Don’t mind Guardianistas airing their views, but I just wish they were so f***ing superior and holier than thou about doing it. In fact, they don’t air their views, they lecture you and become dismissive, patronising or downright insulting if you dare to disagree with them. Just look at the comments on any CiF thread for the evidence.
Typo there…. should read ..”just wish they weren’t so superior……”
The Sun is brilliant. Who else could come up with “Elton takes David up the aisle”?
Legend has it that when the Sun newsroom was thinking of a headline for the story of Versace being shot dead in Miami, a work experience lad came up with ‘Shoots You, Sir.’ In the end they went for the slightly less flippant ‘Fashion Victim’, but the young genius was hired.
i dont hate them its just that they put false stories out without checking them or have an agenda. They also have a bad habit of turning thier gaze away from issues such as child abuse in the midlands or wales. They also as bill clinton said “a lie can go halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on”
Also greenpeace lied over brent spar so it has form regarding misrepresenting the facts
Greenpeace is fairly consistently ‘economical with the actuality’. Over everything. They may be sincere and well-meaning, but they’re not balanced in their analyses.
Why do you assume that everyone on here is a rightie?
Because you all are. Anyone who doesn’t express anything less than wholehearted support for right wing policies is called a leftie twat etc. I’m a centrist, I don’t like hardcore lefties who want to let out all prisoners, increase benefits by 1000% and ban pork so as not to offend muzees any more than I like hardcore righties who want to privatise the NHS, kill all blacks and ban abortion.
LOL I notice that you pile the evil on the right but just the bad policy’s on the left ? centrist my **** !
I drink Raffie tea and worship Gaia
*Raffia
I’d call wanting to let out all prisoners, ban pork and increase benefits by 1000% evil. What’s interesting though is that you yourself regard the other things as evil. Surprisingly self-aware for a rightie.
Centrist
If you sit on the fence you get splinters in your arse.
If you sit on a fence you are known as a Mugwump.
Mug on one side and wump on the other.
You’re correct,in a democracy all views should be aired.
The Guardian has always pushed a lefty stance and as a privately owned operation that’s fair enough.
But the BBC is publicly funded and therefore supposed to be non-partisan. Sadly any regular viewer/listener knows the organisation has been hijacked by Labourites and the green lobby. The McAlpine libel and 28-gate only proves what we’ve all known for years.
We are left & right. But little weed is in the middle & wilting due to the global warming they keep telling us.
I neither have to buy the Sun or subscribe to SKY tv if I don’t want to,however if I own a radio or televisual device it is assumed I watch or listen to BBC tripe and must by law pay for it.
correction you don’t need a Mafia Beeb Licence for the radio……this was
abolished years ago…thankfully…..unless of course I missed something !!!
We don’t bother with a Licence.
I hate the BBC because it’s biased when it should be impartial and the Guardian because it’s Communist. That do ?
I don’t hate the BBC because it is biased I hate the fucking BBC because I’m forced to pay to listen/watch their fucking bias.
Me too. I don’t watch anything they put on, and I still theoretically have to pay under pain of CRIMINAL conviction.
I dont watch Sky or read The Sun. I dont buy their products.
Unlike the BBC (TV Poll Tax) & The Guardian (Public Sector job adverts at £78 million per year) – which I am forced to pay for under threat of prison if I refuse either the TV Poll Tax or general Taxation.
Ok?
I DID say, if you read above, that I agree the BBC should NOT be publicly funded. It should be privatised.
Do you also think that the Guardian should be forced to pay a proper amount of tax?
I think the Guardian should be shut down. I hate grown men who wear tanktops with thick-rimmed glasses.
Everyone including Guardian and Polly Toynbee should be made to pay the right amount of tax.
Many of the responses illustrate the very problem I mentioned above. Some of you immediately assume I’m a leftie Guardian reader just for asking why some of you hate it. Like I said, anything less than 100% wholehearted embrace of all things right wing is met with suspicion. I actually loathe Labour, I loathe the likes of Toynbee, Hodge, Watson, Miliband, Brown etc, but at the same time I don’t ally myself with those on the right who are homophobic and racist.
I hate the Guardian for wrecking the Observer. They absolutely ruined a fine newspaper when they got their claws into it.
The BBC should be funded by those viewers and listeners that choose to pay for it’s content. It should be advert free and it should be broken up into distinct subscription only channels. These should raise enough revenue (if they are as popular as they claim) to create a free-to-air public service channel for everyone to be able to view for free. A channel dedicated to public information. Strictly neutral fact based programming. No opinion, or speculation allowed. JUST facts reported neutrally.
I hate them. Both are mainly funded via coercion of working people.
Because we don’t lefties.
More people watch the Simpsons than read the Guardian
And with good reason….there’s more to be had out of it.

Haven’t they noticed that the wind has gone out of Vestas’s sales.
Bullshit is being fired in all directions. Keeping twisting the truth and bending the facts until it is moulded into the relevent ideology or viewpoint. It is a battle to see whose bullshit sticks and who it sticks too. The truth is long gone and all that is left is fifty shades of bullshit being thrown in all directions.
Is that in the Dulux catalogue?
Yes.
I have just painted my office with it.

Is anyone surprised that this story is untrue?
There was a story yesterday saying that that fat thicko Bob Crow was accusing the government of planning to introduce third class train travel.
What someone had proposed was that another class might be introduced between standard and first class. Perhaps Crow is too stupid to realise that 1.5 isn’t 3.
There will be three classes. Call ‘standard’ what you like but it is unacceptable now on many trains. Adding another ‘class’ will just mean the rail industry are not interested in improving the lot of ordinary passengers.
Don’t worry. Third class travel won’t happen. The railways scrapped all the cattle trucks years ago.
There is no need to alter class of travel.
They will just keep forcing fares above inflation.
That way the plebs will be forced away.
No, they were exported.
Climate change. Windfarms. See, I turned off straight away. Never completed reading. Scrolled down, saw dense text with some stuff about who knows waht and who (never heard of half of these folk) and a picture of a nerd and thought: I must buy some more cat food when go out at lunchtime.

I like reading the funny comments. Some people on here are quite witty.
You must identify who is being witty so that we can put a stop to it.
Militwit’s comments usually have us in stitches.
They both share the same belief on why let the truth get in the way of headline grabbing piece of ill researched fiction……..
With the Guardianista rag I have a real choice & Don’t even think about buying
this left wing diarrahea that is laughing called a Newspaper, (what ever happened to the trades description act ) to get away with this dead trees bile.
Where as with the Beeb IF I don’t pay there legalised extortion I am immediately

ahh this is whats called democracy but how comes my human rights doe’s

the same old story that some are more equal than others……..
like it or not…….
The telly tax is like being forced by law to pay for the Guardian, even though you don’t like it or read it.
It is worse than that. it is like being forced to buy the Guardian otherwise you won’t be allowed to buy the Times or pick up a free copy of the Metro
Funny, that. The smell of rats was overpowering in the Graun’s original story.
This is pure Graun – mangle enough words like Tory, wind farm, minister etc, and the jackals of the left will get RSI hitting the recommend button. True or not doesn’t matter.
Same formula as pea-doe and Fatcher. They are all gullible idiots.
The BBC’s Norman Smith and Robin Brant were completely taken in by it. Didn’t bother to check facts.
They don’t care if it’s factual or not.
Norman Smith was one of the main culprits pushing the “Top Tory linked to Thatcher was a Paedo” smear.
Norman Smith? Doesn’t he have some habits? Nothing illegal, of course, wouldn’t want to smear the chap, but decidedly habitual. Maybe even noteworthy.
He looks like Andrew Marrs twin.
And they’re both creepy f*ckers.
The only good thing to come out of the guardian and the BBC are P45s
“Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today”?
…..The lid of the box then opens and the puppet character that is central to the episode emerges. After a brief introduction, the background appears and the story begins.
Tell Mrs Honeyman to stay out of sight ’cause there’s goona be a riot down in Trumpton tonight
No Mr Fawkes, it’s not working – I think we understand what’s going on.
But do we care? That is the question.
That goat meat was rancid.
I wonder when the BBC/Guardian Axis of Drivel will be reporting on the 28gate story?
When we close our eyes, it disappears!
What was point of all that? As usual the truth gets ignored. Truth is conveniently irrelevent.
I believe I have wasted far too much time reading that steaming pile sh..
Smear & spread innuendo & slurs – its what the left do best via the BBC and Guardian.

I saw this story last night on sky news but being the excellent broadcaster that they are I’d no idea what the guys were saying to each other in the video as the announcer talked the whole time so there was no audio and the subtitles were obscured by the news ticker. Doh.
That’ll be because they need to revamp their mission statement.
“Energy Minister denies collusion” is not the same as “There was no collusion, our story was politically motivated fantasy masquerading as journalism”.
Suggest you run headlines like “BBC denies political bias” or “Milliband denies shoplifting” and see how the bed wetters react.
Milliband would never deny shoplifting. He is an honourable man.
Honourable men don’t stab their brothers in the back.
If God wanted people to have brothers, he wouldn’t have invented knives

When it comes to politics most people at my local boozer talk about how there are too many immigrants and how climate change is a load of shit.
It would be great to see that being spoken about at the ‘Rovers Return’ or ‘Queen Vic’.
Somehow I don’t think that is the sort of thing Polly had in mind though.

If I was a faq wing painter my art would bleed for the dotty old bint!
The odiuos Polly was quickly out of the traps simply to try to defend the BBC’s bevhaviour in the 28-gate scandal.
The shithouses at the BBC had been caught out yet again, so her promotion of (her type of) politics in wider programming was an attempt to legitimise the attendance of the BBC’s heads of drama, comedy etc etc etc as experts at their ‘How do we indoctrinate the viewer’ conference on climate change.
Now that we know that it wasn’t the claimed conference of experts, hopefully the bloke who took the BBC to the Information Tribunal will now make a complaint of perjury against them.
I only mentioned the Archers because I can’t get British TV out here. I’m stuck with BBC radio.

How do The Guardian’s journalistic standards here compare with those they demand from the BBC?
Er ….
The climate alarmist & warming activist Tom Chivers at The Telegraph is calling you a Tory Guido:

Apparently, those who do not believe in AGW also believe that Dodo’s left for Mars on a space ship to dig the canals.
At this rate he will be working for the BBC in no time.
We are aiming to move the Telegraph further to the left, there’s a financial opportunity there with the imminent demise of the Guardian.
Guido, you’d better tell Sky News, they’re having a bit of a frenzy with it.

The Bank of England has cut its UK growth forecast to minus 1%, with recovery “slow and protracted” and inflation staying higher than previously thought.

If you want to see corruption there is no better place. We pay Egypt, our navies patrol the far side and still they can not work out how the pirates know where and what is on our ships. Egypt is similar to the concept of selling the channel tunnel to Iraq.
I believe in freedom of press and free speech. I don’t support shoddy journalism. But the Guardian and BBC is so full of this kind of tripe, it makes you want to put a permanent gagging order on them. They peddle rubbish and get away with it.
Maybe if certain media outlets who demonstrate their shoddy journalism over and over again were regulated on a temporary basis(not permantly) until they upped their game, might be an idea worth pursuing. It would put the wind up the BBC and the Guardian so much so that they would stop peddling so much garbage.
I don’t think you need to worry about it too much – the Guardian is going to go under in 12-18 months (I doubt they’ll be around to cover the next General Election) and the BBC is headed for a break-up and sell-off, because both of them are shit and no-one’s prepared to pay for them any more.
Over on CiF, the intellectuals of the Left…
“Dellingpole is a moron”: 748 recommends
“Brilliant work by Greenpeace”: 286 recommends.
“‘Delingpolegate’ is a non-story”: 8 recommends (one of them mine)
Plus someone else trying to make out it’s all true because Heaton-Harris didn’t deny saying what he said. Of course he didn’t – it’s on film, you fuckin idiot.
I recommend that they are all put against a wall and shot (can you still say things like that without getting a custodial sentence?), Cif-hilis is free.
I wouldn’t worry all the recommends will be from teat sucklers in the public sector.
But that is the worry. They are public sector, stupid, and breeding like fruit flies.
The same lot are also rampant daily on Yahoo. Quite astonishing what crap and unsullied ignorance is on display there.
Guardian felchers live in a bubble, do what the rest of the world does and ignore them. If enough people did that their hit number would crash and they’d lose even more money.
Don’t forget the peadoes in the B B C

The UK is unique in being the only country around the world that has introduced a long-term legally binding framework to tackle the dangers of climate change.”

Does it not occur to our government that if we’re the only country in the world to have introduced a “legally binding framework” to do this, it might just be because it’s a really f*cking stupid idea?
Quite absolutely so. Will Dave find Commons time to do it before the next election though?

FILTHY POLITICIANS:
AT OUR CHILDRENS HOME IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT, NO MASKS OR BLINDFOLDS; WE WERE JUST TOLD YOU WILL DO THIS OR YOU WILL BE TIED AND DROPPED OFF THE SIDE OF MY YACHT WITH BRICKS IN YOUR POCKETS.
AFTERWARDS WE OFTEN COULD NOT WALK WITH THE PAIN BUT WE ALL FELT REAL FEAR.
WE WERE TOLD IF WE SPOKE OUT WE WOULD BE KILLED SECRETLY; KEEP QUIET AND YOU WILL HAVE POCKET MONEY AND SWEETS.
YET WE SAW BIG MONEYS BEING PAID FOR US, NO ONE BELIEVED US.
“CHILDREN’S HOME”
The apostrophe is your friend.
No, sorry, just saw the big capitals and stopped reading.
has your friend been bragging to undercover reporters again. i guess you have the wapping transcript of his texts to the sun under cover reporter?
How much have you reduced the Deficit by this morning Dave?
To govern is to choose. i choose to do nothing.
Cheers, mate. Oh, by the way, thanks for increasing my benefits. Much appreciated.
You worthless infidel scum.
Well done Abu. You have demonstrated for us yet again that Dave is a totally useless weak cnut.
Oh, it was easy-weasy! There are only so many hours in the day, and Dave likes to spend his banging on about gay marriage and climate change.
While he was distracted by these “big important issues” that are all “so close to the hearts of the British public”, my lawyers were able to walk all over him.
There’s no PMQ’s today.
Did you miss the email? Miliband booster posse has the day off.
The funny thing is, outside of the Westminster and eco-twat bubble, no one gives a shit. Katz, Atkins, Peppiatt, Stewart, etc, shove it up your twats, this story has all the legs of a clubbed seal.
Imagine if, as a thought experiment, the left decided to come up with an evil ‘Tory’ wheeze to demonstrate just how awfully evil Tories could be they might actually come up with the wind farm scam. Lets have a look at the evil ‘tory’ credentials of the system shall we?
Windfarms do not actually work. They produce a middling amount of energy , intermittantly with no reference to actual demand. They are designed to solve a problem that doesn’t exist and in any even their impact upon this problem is so low that it cannot actually be measured. In short they are massive white elephants. Except far bigger than elephants. And whiter.
Windfarms are hugely expensive, yet they are paid for, by and large, by those least able to afford it. Wind subsidies and feed in tariffs mean the poorest and those most vulnerable to energy poverty pay for these devices.
This money, taken out of the pockets of the poorest, goes to multinational corporations (many outside the UK) and wealthly land owners. Typically these wealthy landed gentry are Tory toffs. So we have britains poorest paying vast sums of money to britains richest.
Even better on the evil stakes, the poorest have NO choice but to pay this money (or freeze) AND they receive virtually no benefit whatsoever from the machines they are paying for.
Tax payers money also subsidises these things, yet that money often leaves the country to go to our inbternational competitors AND again is used to enrich the richer still.
As a result of energy poverty thousands of vulnerable and elderly people are forced, every winter, to choose between food and fuel. The subsidies and taxes to pay for these would make all the difference in many cases. Often these people are unable to meet the demands of the wind industry, eating and heating their homes. As a result many will die and many more will find themselves ill and in hospital. The ‘evil’ tories in this thought experiment are indirectly killing the old and infirm so that they can maximise their profits.
Not only that these devices also destroy the environment they purport to save, cause illness and distress in those FORCED to have them as neighbours (and also makes their homes drop in value or become unsaleable), kill all sorts of protected birds and bats and generally shit up the place by looking awful.
So we have rich ‘tory’ toffs and fat cats sticking their hands into the tax payers pocket whilst ruining the environment. Camerons father in law rakes in a fortune from this!
How more thoroughly evil and right wing can you get? Its quite a startling thought experiment isn’t it? Its a pity its real life
Yet the Guardiastas, hair shirt wearers and fellow travellers all clap and cheer for the eco-crucifixes. They demand more of the same and damn the consequences on those least able to afford them. Those people baffle me, they really do.
So much for the caring left, so much for compassion for the vulnerable, so much for social justice. All must be swept aside so that they can prostrate themselves at the feet of Mother Gaia and this failed religion of CAGW.
You have to hand it to the wind farm industry. The genius of getting the illiberal left on board with such a monstrous assault on common sense, the environment, the poor and vulnerable all for the enrichment of fat cats and the wealthy Tory elite is a work of masterly, evil, genius.
Gentlemen of the windfarm business: Sirs, I salute your indefatigableness!
Very good.
And don’t forget the EU wide demands for renewable energy to replace older sources.
And the massive subsidy that go with it.
They are a government. They make taxes. They taxed all, to pay 10x generating prices to any major land owners. They changed the laws so development could occur on protected moors etc. Ultimately we (well not me) voted them in, so are to blame.
The rest is just propaganda and miss-information for their self justification.
Yes, very good.
The Left do not “care”. They pretend they do – far more than anyone else. Which means that if you don’t agree with them, you don’t “care”. It is a brilliant tactic on which their principles (I use the word loosely) hang.
They also understand that if you smother people with “care” they become dependent on you, beholden to you. This is exactly what the Left want as it ensures their continued funding.
The problem is that you end up with a nation of pampered pets, incapable of existing without the “caring” Left handing out more Bonio’s. But the Bonio’s will eventually run out.
Anyone who tries to break this moribund state of affairs is cast as uncaring and evil. And the pampered pets will, of course, agree.
Therefore we are fuck’d.
Given today’s not really very impressive employment figures, somebody should tell Dave pdq that a whole industry is raring to go taking the bloody things down again and restoring our beautiful countryside to its original state. Pop-in-law has made more than enough from the public tit to keep him and his family in extreme comfort for the next three generations.
Take note Englanders of the cheers that James McClean will receive when he touches the ball playing for the Republic of Ireland tonight .. all for refusing to wear a poppy on his Sunderland shirt, and displaying his ‘we hate the British’ credentials that the Republic of Ireland fans revel in.
I guess a man who is paid to kick a pigs bladder isn’t able to remember the 100,000 from Eire who fought in WW2, and the 3,500 who died to rid us of National Socialism.
It’s good to see youth here. I assume you must be a child since you appear to be a football fan. If you develop properly, you should grow out if it before you’re 21.
The Minister was “linked” to the plan by Heaton Harris in the video…
Given that neither the headline nor the text of the Guardian article are wrong.
Can you imagine the BBC running the story if the GWPF had secretly filmed a labour politician encouraging an extremist green party supporter? You can bet the farm the BBC would not touch it with a barge pole.
This non story hit all the right buttons for the BBC, they got to attack a Tory enemy and a sceptic at the same time, two enemies with one smear. Of course it didnt matter to the BBC if the story was actually true or not, all that mattered was the priceless opportunity to attack its ideological enemies.
…again..
Getting back to the point of this blog post, I note this afternoon that those stalwarts of accurate and impartial reportage, Radio 4 News, are still leading with the Delingpole conspiracy story. I suppose that if they keep banging the drum for a little while longer, some of the poison will seep into the cracks and do it’s work. That is after all the socialist strategy. They are all shameless and the sooner Right thinking people and organizations understand this, the sooner a strategy can be put into place to address the imbalance.
Scrap telly tax and make them compete for money with nurses and teachers etc.
A cat fight in a sack – they will rip each other to shreds.
Busted.
Still your loyalty is admirable however badly misplaced.
See 181.
Would be fucking hilarious if Cameron called a press conference and announced he’s backing CHH and plans to repeal the Climate Change Act.
He won’t though.
Perhaps one of the Militwits could stand up and say they were wrong/misled (or similar) when in government and proposed a Bill for just that purpose. Just for laughs like..
Someone should interview that electrician that fitted that windmill on Cameron’s roof in deepest London when he was leader of the oppo. Cameron green? – as green as my fat behind he is!
BBC News website still spinning this natch; even using the same Grauniad cover photo on the website article.
Who can we trust these dark days? Even my left hand watches the right hand and vice versa. Now Green Peas the trustworthy campaigner….sorry….remove trustworthy and we rest our case.
More here today gone tomorrow tory MPs playing games and toytown politics and numbnut machinations again. Where do they find these idiots?
What do you say Sir Robin Day, if you were still around, that is?
