It ain’t true, it just ain’t

Mr Miliband said the Government would bring bills down over the course of this Parliament, by bringing more wind and solar power into the mix.

Where are all those truth in politics campaigners?

A bill is just a number on a peice of paper. With a government willing to intervene with price caps, and much of the cost coming straight from the exchequer that number can be anything Ed Milliband and his gang of scientific illiterates in the Net Zero gang want it to be.

The truth in politics campaigners were only interested in uncomfortable truths. And the preventing of them.

It’s the third part of Winston’s qualifications for an able politician that is the true test of the politicos skill.

“The ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.”

I’m hoping he goes for something creative, like climate change caused the wrong type of wind and the wrong type of Sun.

It’s perfectly simple: if wind and solar really were cheaper, he wouldn’t have to.

Can Microbrain explain why over the last decade as more and more wind and solar have been added to the mix, coal has been phased out and gas must give way to wind and solar when conditions are favourable, why bills have gone up and up?

There seems to be at least a reasonable chance that Milliband will be in charge when the wheels finally come off the scam.

I hope the climate scientists realize who’s getting the blame when that happens. How could they have misled completely innocent politicians so badly?

There will be a public inquiry into why the country has power cuts and affordable energy costs.

It’ll have terms of reference set so narrowly that it can’t look at the actual reasons for it, be chaired by a helpful idiot who knows what outcome is required, have the witnesses lie about their part in it, take forever to complete (so the proles give up) and cost a fortune.

And the outcome? No one could be found to be individually to blame and lessons will be learned.

There’s a part of me that says that Starmer has purposely put EM in charge of the Net Zero nonsense precisely to take the rap when it collapses. Whether doing so saves Starmer in that scenario is another issue, but maybe its the best he can do. He can’t repudiate NZ, as his entire party and voter bloc have drunk the cool aid, so he’s got to try and pin the blame for failure on someone else.

This guy ( who is automatically disqualified because he wirks for Sky ) has noticed that the rhetoric is no longer about Climate change but cheaper bills.

Amazingly not paywalled

But “cheaper bills” is just as much of a load of boll0x as CAGW….
