@darrengrimes Utterly terrifying. It’s extremely embarrassing that she’s the deputy PM, heaven forbid she gets the top job

@LozzaFox @HawksmoorTweets In recent years, I have been buying gift certificates from them to give to family members for Xmas etc. Not anymore

I won’t be eating at @HawksmoorTweets anymore.
You’re a restaurant, not a political organisation.
You were already ludicrously overpriced, but now it turns out that you are woke snobs, the decision is much easier.

Just been kicked out of Hawksmoor steak house for no reason. Literally juts had our starters.

@LeeAndersonMP_ That’s one of the common spelling mistakes seen on the internet these days. Along with there/their/they’re and “could/should of” instead of “have”. It just goes to show how shocking our education system has become.

@afneil Only political will can stop this. The French have the political will to make sure the migrants get on the boats, and our government has no political will to stop it.

@Keir_Starmer Perhaps you could order a few extra drones, and have them monitoring the coast of France. Then the authorities could intercept them on the beaches. Just a suggestion, but the chances of you doing it will be zero, as that could lead to the boats being stopped. Simples

@Keir_Starmer One only has to read the comments on here to see how the public are feeling about this

@Ed_Miliband Simple question: how many parts-per-million do you want CO2 to be in our air (currently approx 409) ? Name the figure……… I dare you.

Net zero is the economic opportunity of the 21st century.
Climate action is essential to growing our economy, creating good jobs at decent wages, and protecting future generations.

I firmly believe Covid was caused by a lab leak. The Chinese owe us proper answers and our Government should start demanding them

I was in Extinction Rebellion for several years. I produced over 60 videos for them and helped with several protests.
I can tell you directly: It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you.
Specifically, it was about mobilising 3.5% of the population into permanent revolutionary protest in order to trigger a Communist revolution. (Per Trotsky, Sharp, Hallam, Mao)
This was told to me directly by some of the leaders of the organisation. I tried to organise some programs to help businesses lower their carbon footprints without lowering profit margins or impacting the GDP, and I was told in no uncertain terms that *solutions* were counter to the goals of the movement and that I should stop.
It was then that I started to realise their true motives, and understand that perhaps I was being taken for a ride.
I learned that Communist countries have had some of the WORST environmental records in existence. What XR was proposing - degrowth, agitation, "decolonisation", post-capitalism and every other agitprop buzzword - would effectively drop civilisation back to a pre-renewable era and force developing nations into a protracted industrial age, leading to ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more carbon emissions than the incremental improvements found by market innovations.
Population density is a critical function of renewable energy infrastructure. You don't have a factory. You have a market ecosystem. That's how technology works. It blew my mind that they didn't understand this.
After years of pushing against fossil fuels, they were suddenly vehemently opposed to Elon Musk and his EVs. It was mind boggling to witness.
I realised that Musk had singlehandedly done more to reduce emissions than the entire climate activist movement combined. And it's not close. Mentioning this, I was met with bewilderment and anger.
It was very hard to come away from that experience with much sympathy for the activist left movement. At their best they were devoid of ideas and completely incapable of making meaningful technological or engineering innovations. At their worst, they were actively working against their own stated goals in order to maximise agitation and mobilise discontent toward a destructive revolutionary movement that would ultimately lead to measurably worse outcomes.
Applying Occam's Razor, it became apparent to me that the goal is Communist revolution, and all these random causes - climate, gender relativism, immigration, BLM, defunding police, Islamisation etc etc etc weren't about triumphing over injustices, but about agitating blocs of useful idiots into a perpetual state of protest in order to seize power and control in the name of Marxist Revolution.
I thought they were creators and visionaries. I was wrong.
True change comes from the builders.
Yes there are problems on this earth, but they'll only be solved by you tackling those problems, building useful things and helping to push the species forward.
If you're smart enough to contribute, you belong amongst the builders.

Reminder: The left said climate change was so important that they should be able to: a) Rip out all your gas appliances b) Ban your gas vehicle c) Tax you into oblivion for it Now they are torching Teslas. It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you.
