Good one Peter. People wonder why there is no growth in the UK. Well a major factor is the obsession with, well you all know by now, which has been ordained the most important threat to our shores.
Perusing that cheaply produced literature I notice they refer to the heatwave of 2003. Oh! if only, if only.
I pray for a repeat of that year - it was fantastic and saved many people money by staying at home not having to bother to fly to Spain.
Still We all know that this summer will be another washout and the winter will probably consist of more snow even though they promised us all that snow would be a thing of the past.
Damned reckless fools running our economy couldn't run a bath - Oh no! Don't run water We're facing drought conditions.

Me
Strength.

Eco-wash? No thanks
Just around the corner from my flat in London is Britain's first coin-operated launderette, which opened in 1947. Laundrophiles from as far away as Tulsa, Oklahoma, regularly visit so they can wash their smalls and boast about it back home. I've spent a fortune on service washes there. Last week, however, I took delivery of a smart new washer-dryer in graphite grey. One of the buttons offers an "eco-wash" that uses less water and electricity. I was going to press it, but then I looked inside the drum and saw that my boxers had arranged themselves into the grinning visage of Caroline Lucas, the ghastly Green MP. So I pressed the luxury "super-wash" instead and listened contentedly to the sound of the earth's resources draining away.

Excellent! Hopefully he put the shorts in the tumble drier on high heat on their own for two hours.
As an aside I read that the rumour is that none other than Peter Lilley, arch climate sceptic and relative newcomer to the department of energy and let's do something about gravity, might be the one to replace Yeo.

"Energy department withholding details on multibillion-pound projects
Government accused of lack of transparency as public denied access to progress reports on 12 of Decc's 13 projects."
"In contrast to all other government departments, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) is refusing to release progress reports for 12 out its 13 major projects, which include the green deal for energy-efficient homes, smart meters, electricity market reform, new nuclear power stations and its nuclear waste storage programme..."

Tom, why would any government want its people to hear the bad news? They know that we face blackouts and brownouts in the not too distant future and they know that energy bills will soar so it's hardly surprising that they wait until after the next election in order to blame labour who inevitably will win next time even though they are complicit in this treason.
I mean take a look at this from the state broadcaster today.
You really could not make this stuff up but they have:

we came very close to losing our gas supplies recently, electricity is no different.
i don't trust any of our politicians to handle the energy situation with a long term view, must go out and buy a tumble drier.
