Richard Vobes is out on location talking to the bowler-hatted farmer.
The UK currently grows less than 50% of our food.
The government wants to phase out food imports by 2030, and is offering farmers incentives to take 20% of their land out of production and / or to give up farming.
We don't need a degree in mathematics to work out the likely result ... (and when did we vote for these idiocies?).
Of course there may be reasons for these policies but would you plan for them?

Save the Planet!
Watch the Movie!
You know it makes (non)sense!
"Tell me what I'm denying, because I am quoting ... directly from the official UN scientific reports"
Maybe they're a bit late to the party, but every little helps.
"This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events – hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary, it is very clearly the case, as can be seen in all mainstream studies, that, compared to the last half billion years of earth’s history, both current temperatures and CO2 levels are extremely and unusually low. We are currently in an ice age. It also shows that there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever ‘driven’ climate change in the past."
" ... the climate alarm is much more than a funding and jobs bandwagon. The film explores the politics of climate. From the beginning, the climate scare was political. The culprit was free-market industrial capitalism. The solution was higher taxes and more regulation ... "

" ... sources say what has happened is beyond biblical in scale because it means the end of a war against fallen angels that has been raging for 26,000 years"
"The sources say confirmation of change will come when Goldman Sachs announces their departure from Japan on April 15th"
If that doesn't whet your appetite, I don't know what will!
Catastrophic Confusion & Obsessive Covid Disorder

It has taken 4 years to move from Obsessive Covid Disorder to a point where we may now perhaps indulge in some rational argument about what really happened in 2019-20, and how we might actually more sensibly work in the future.
Leaving aside all the technical virological and counter-measures arguments, it is apparent that the situation management of early 2020 where "the science" met "the government" in a conflicting and fast-changing muddle of overthrown pandemic preparedness and panic (which saw much of the former somehow displaced by much of the latter), this contribution by the good folk at the Global Warming Policy Foundation is, if not completely timely, at least on target.
What has Covid got to do with Global Warming? Both involve serious interaction between "government" and "science", so should be subject to a set of common principles.
The authors' primary contention is that government and science need to get their act together in a defined and controlled way, to avoid panic, by ensuring that "the science" is properly tested, that conflicts of interest are excluded from the mix, and that decisions are taken in an orderly manner that respects some basic principles of interaction.
Those who believe that governments are simply a means by which rogues and criminals can make vast fortunes from manipulating such circumstances may dismiss the idea that reform is even possible, but we have to start somewhere, and where we are is as good a place as any.
So I commend these ideas to my readers.
Sadly, there is little here that is actually new (although some issues have only clearly emerged in recent times, and the illustrations are pretty 🙂), but at least somebody has had the gumption to restate this package of measures as a prerequisite for good governance.
How did we get from Freedom to Public-Private Dictatorship?

It's been a long road travelled largely out of the headlines ... perhaps because those who write the headlines didn't want to make any kind of big deal out of it.
The truth is that even where we are today, if freedom of speech had been respected throughout then we probably wouldn't be so far down the road - but freedom of journalism (as opposed to freedom of speech) ie: the freedom to dig for the stories and have them published with appropriate fanfare, has been quietly withdrawn for many years now, without being reported.
After all, why would you publish negative stories about the outfits that provide your income?
Today, at the dawn of the age of citizen journalism outside the reach of the big publishers, that has begun to be reversed, despite desperate attempts to discourage defund and shut down popular channels that publish the truth that the big boys don't like.
Jeffrey Tucker, founder, author, and President at Brownstone Institute, reviews the sorry tale for America, but as we all know, what happens over the pond also happens over here - you can read the same article leaving out the word "American" altogether and it still makes perfect sense.
"In free enterprise, the old rule is that the customer is always right ... "
"What happens, however, when government itself becomes a main and even dominant customer?"
" ... we are ideologically and philosophically unprepared to deal with this new world with anything like intellectual insight"
He could have written "public-private partnerships" for inclusivity as well as "government", but I cavil.
The state has effectively unlimited power to change the rules, unlimited money to spend as it pleases, no competition within national borders, and systems that should be holding it to account that are too expensive too blunt and too unresponsive to be effective.
Then acknowledge for practical purposes that this does nothing to discourage an inevitable seasoning of corruption ...
It makes all the difference in the world.
Sadly however, this treatise must be regarded as incomplete, since it makes no mention of the secret services /TLAs that seem so all-pervading these days. Yes they are nominally controlled by the government, but I do wonder whether the truth is that the government is controlled by them?
