No, I haven’t gone AWOL, but I haven’t been blogging for reasons I don’t recall – time just flies by!
It never ceases to amaze me that whenever we have high winds, we have news reporters standing on a Promenade (often Blackpool) telling us all to keep away from said Promenade and not to make unnecessary journeys. Sound advice – if only they followed it themselves.
The Budget was not exactly a memorable one – other than the continuation of the war on plastic bags. Why do we make a fuss over plastic bags but not over the coal-fired power station that China opens up every other week? We could shut down the United Kingdom for the year tomorrow – and China’s increase in emissions would quickly make up for it. It is fine to be concerned to mitigate pollution in the light of acid rain and ‘climate change’ – but why go for the easy hits that make little overall difference, but duck the really difficult issues? That’s not leadership, that’s headline chasing.
