Labour govt is being held captive by Just Stop Oil cultists – they’re bankrolled by same man
YOU can tell much about our two main parties by their starkly contrasting attitudes to Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion.
For years these two “end of the world” doom cults have tried to upend working people’s lives and harm businesses.
Their “demands” — no new North Sea oil and gas, and Net Zero within two years — are dangerous fantasies which would impoverish Britain.
The Tories denounce this hysteria and aim to stop the fanatics wrecking sports events and blocking roads.
Labour, though, invites Extinction Rebellion to help write its green policy in Wales.
The party and Just Stop Oil are bankrolled by the same man.
And Labour has already caved in to their main demand.
A Labour Government, then, would be in thrall to protest groups who seek to compel MPs and voters via blackmail to buy into their ignorant delusions.
It’s staggering, and frightening.
WOKE JOKES
DOES Andrew Bailey still self-identify as a banker?
Or is he now more a woke warrior for the extremist trans lobby?
Because while the Bank of England chief was complacently failing to crush inflation, his minions WERE busy . . . erasing women’s identity and imposing gender nonsense on staff.
Which means regurgitating the Stonewall group’s fiction that the word “mother” displays hate towards the tiny number of pregnant “trans men”.
We have wondered, from its executives’ performance and recent gaffes, whether the Bank is still in touch with reality.
From its time-wasting on fashionable gobbledygook, we must conclude not.
RAIL WRECKERS
RAIL union boss Mick Whelan’s “strikes for 20 years” threat is his dimmest yet.
Frustrated by his failure, Aslef’s chief ups the ante to new levels of absurdity.
Like the RMT, he doesn’t seem to grasp that by endlessly disrupting the network for more pay the unions are digging their own graves.
Who will be inconvenienced by their walkouts in 2043?
Either the trains will be driverless — or the public will long since have abandoned the flaky, overpriced service routinely sabotaged by bullying Marxist throwbacks.
WE’RE PUMPED
WE are overjoyed to see the Pumpwatch regulator officially endorsed by the Competitions and Markets Authority.
But it’s too late to prevent supermarkets having shamefully fleeced drivers of £1billion by hiking profit margins.
The Sun has helped campaign for a powerful fuel price watchdog for seven years. Downing Street must set it up, at long last, and give it teeth.
The profiteers must be brought to heel.
