I don’t usually just copy-n-paste, but this time the headlines tell their own story. Just to recap for those with short memories: Net Zero was sold by Soros (whose actions always do something the Russians love), as this wonderful no-brainer policy that everyone loved and everyone had to agree would just happen, no problems. As a result, the Tories, and Labour, simply nodded the legislation through without any proper debate. Legislation that forced them to end the fossil fuel economy that had made the world so fantastic for us, and replace it with an “economy” that no one had a clue how to make it work and even those who thought it could be done, admitted was going to cost an eye watering amount. (At a time of record debts and uncontrolled spending)
So, how’s it going? Not very well by the sound of it! And this is still very much the opening stages and the costs just begin to skyrocket from here on!
