Children of the Nanny State
By Johnathan Pearce
I wonder how many of those on what is broadly “the left”, who are crying
crocodile tears over the fate of coal miners who lost their jobs from
unprofitable, subsidised mines in the 1980s, are the same people who want, in
the name of global warming alarmism, to shut down profitable mines today? It
would be good to ask the current crop of Labour MPs, LibDems and Cameroonian
Tories as to whether they think it right to repeal the UK’s various climate
change measures that have, among other things, led to the recent closure of UK
coal-fired power stations.
Of course, such a question reminds me, when thinking of the nonsense about
that has been spouted since the death of Margaret Thatcher, of how illogical
and hypocritical people, both politicians, and voters, are on such matters. Not
a comforting thought. But I guess it is hardly something that is confined to
the UK.
