Well, we are rushing far too fast towards Net Zero in the west, and seem happy to have all the pollution in China etc. so we can say we are carbon neutral.
But offshoring it means we loose control of it too.

When I say here in the UK, I mean from a UK perspective, each country needs to do what is best for them at the moment.

I think the problem with the UK is we tend to play by the rules so much more, Italy, France etc. say they will and do whatever, if we did more than that great, but it seems like many in charge here are appeasers, almost like they are apologising for where the UK was in years gone by.
You don't see Germany doing that too much, and they have as much reason to as anyone. But good on them.

The whole Green Agenda is so messed up it is unreal.
Even Deloitte, who were in charge of looking at the consequences of our climate targets, have said that millions of people in the west will die to achieve these targets to try and save people in 100 years. And they have admitted they are not sure they are even at risk yet as all modelling is worst case scenario and doesn't take into account advances in technology that will give us cleaner lives over the next 100 years.


I'm all for a less polluted world, but crap like cutting down 1000s of hectares of forests to put in solar is absolutely nonsensical to the point it can only be money making corruption.


We need to seriously start discussing how money works, I mean from the top up, who controls it, what that control gives and how it effects us all. Too many decisions are made based on keeping those who control the money happy and not for the good of the people around the world. I know it has always been this way, but it is getting beyond ridiculous now.

We can't keep having the same few people/corporations funding all the major things in our lives, from governments, to banks, to medical, to media etc.
Because it controls the narrative too much.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Well, it takes a strong man to it, and we don't seem to have many of those anymore. We are all too selfish.

We are all the same, if it is paying your lifestyle, well, you keep it happy. But right now, it has shifted, and it is paying a certain segment of society and really is screwing over many others, mainly those at the bottom, but the bottom is getting bigger and bigger.



I just wish we could all stop talking Labour vs Tory, Dems vs GOP, and start talking about a fairer, kinder society. The hate out there is unreal currently for anyone who thinks we will achieve the goals we would all like to see differently to someone else.
But you can't even discuss that anymore, if you say you want to achieve something, even if that is a good something, a fairer something, or if you say you want to look after a certain group (doesn't matter who) 'the other side' start calling you evil. Not because what you want is evil, but because you wanted it.



I think the last 2 weeks or so show us which direction the UK is heading, and it is one of playing the globalists long game. Not just the UK, many others too, but it won't be good.
