I am afraid, Question Time has become the epitome of populist,confrontational'Punch and Judy' politics.Mr Punch,however,is more coherent than the vast majority of our political class.

Oooohhhhh yesssss!
The really important thing missed by most about that particular edition of Question time was staring them in the face and yet passed most people by.
They spent a great deal of time "discussing" our country's energy policy or what passes for one.
It.
is.
disastrous!
As I have warned many times on this forum we are facing blackouts and extremely expensive energy bills in the future.
Bed wetter Lucas who is no scientist has only a degree in English literature and is certainly not qualified to terrify the children on any matter pertaining to climate.
Pie stuffer Prescott hasn't even managed to get a degree. He spent most of his earlier time at sea serving gin and tonics to elderly Americans. Certainly he is no climate scientist.
Wiletts studied philosophy, politics and economics and knows bugger all about anything really.
And yet these three clowns have an enormous say in how we heat our homes and keep the lights on. Prescott is some sort of ambassador of climate change and represents the UK at the enormous p*ss ups at climate change events every year or so.
So returning to the government's latest energy review it has to be said that we are now all officially screwed. It's a shambles. It means more wind farms and that's it. No nuclear although they say that's what they want. Believe me nobody is going to build any in the foreseeable future. No coal powered power stations. No shale gas because of the restraints they will put on them.
And yet not a whimper from anyone.
So we have three deluded fools who believe the myth of climate change and we will all have to pay for it in our bills and blackouts.
Industry will shut down. Companies will relocate overseas.
Remember who you have to blame for all this.
Perhaps those most to blame are the crop of tory MP's who we were assured were young, thrusting right wingers but are merely yes men and yes women.
As an example of this buffoonery remember our own local MP who signed a petition some months ago suggesting that we stop building onshore wind farms but considered off shore absolutely fine.
A prime example of a yes man despite what Barry thinks.

slightly off topic i knew someone that worked at the then churchill hotel when mr now lord prescott stopped over.
he marched into the breakfast room in a rush and said that he didn't have time for a full breakfast and would just have 4 poached eggs on toast.

The 'Government' man, Wiletts, did manage to say YES to everything. It is all being considered, he says. Wind-farms do have one small plus, they at least present an immediate blight for those who immediately benefit. Nuclear can only cost and cost and cost...and blight future generations, only somewhere along the line will anybody see the least benefit.
Harnessing the power of the tide presents distinct advantages, but I think progress on this front is hampered by relative lack of immediate profit, whereas wind-farms do bring big-bucks from the off and while there is an inbuilt tie-in between all current options for Government and those who are so-profiting, wind remains the albatross around the neck of future power-generation.
It is again our present Political/Government system and apparatus that holds us all back.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
