Rising CO2 level

mercredi 11 mai 2016 à 02:00

The CO2 level is now reaching 400 parts per million, yet willfully blindness continues. For instance, look at the plan to build another runway in a London airport.

It would be a wasted investment, because they could not keep using it for enough decades to recoup the cost.

Note how the discussion of the effect on the "environment" is limited to the local area around the airport. CO2 emissions are ignored completely.

Cruelty towards welfare recipients

mercredi 11 mai 2016 à 02:00

The UK government's cruelty towards welfare recipients is pushing low-paid workers into desperation. Some have to steal to eat. Some children can't afford to go to school.

If the Tories seriously wanted workers to work more hours, or get higher pay, they would make employers give workers longer hours and higher pay. That would be effective. But Tories don't really want those changes to occur, they only want an excuse to harass and punish workers.

This adds to other injustices to the disabled and the unemployed.

The real purpose is to demonize the non-rich as an excuse for dooH niboR (Robin Hood in reverse).
