The ironic thing about the Guardian is that they push their politics (anti-growth, environmental meltdown, soak the rich, more wind farms to save the planet whilst nobody else is, class warfare, hate anyone earning more than £40,000 except Polly Toynbee who earns lots more than that etc. etc.) and yet has the temerity to publish reports like this:

I don't think they do irony on the Grauniad. It's the BBC's favourite journal (face it, the BBC can really be considered Guardian TV) and yet are unable to see that the policies they espouse help to to lead to a situation where we are set for a long and difficult economic depression for the next few decades.
Of course we all know that the tory-lite party headed by Cameron rather like the policies that the chatteratti in Guardian-read circles believe in.
However much he denies this you have to admit that he carries out these liberal policies to the letter - pro-Europe, totally sold on the environmental doomsters and an obsession with overtly liberal social policies much to the detriment of the wider economy.
Laughably Cameron's idea of growth come down to two things. They consist of the first which is the idea of making it easier for people to build extensions on their house.
The second is to create a green economy.
The second is the most alarming. Put simply it will bankrupt us all.
Living standards are set to fall even lower than they are now due to a flight of our meagre manufacturing base due to high energy costs, higher energy bills for us all leading to more premature deaths if this winter is as severe as the last few as well as rolling black-outs as the much trumpeted green energy sector fails to produce, well, energy.
It borders on the treasonable.
