“I have a brilliant net zero plan. We are surrounded by natural energy resources, but let’s ignore that and buy £40 billion of oil and gas from Norway, which comes from the same sea that we share with them. Let’s spend £11.6 billion on overseas climate aid. Let’s spaff away £30bn on carbon capture machines. Let’s ban gas boilers and put in heat pumps. Let’s end new coal mining licenses and spend millions of pounds for foreign coal to keep Britain's last steel plant running. Let’s plaster solar panels on farmland, but also spend £50 million on sun dimming experiments. We will do this in a country that has the fifth least annual sunlight hours. And we will end up with the most expensive industrial electricity prices in the developed world. But shhh…let’s not talk about how much energy and water is required to power those massive AI data centres…”

If pharmaceutical companies cured you, they’d go bankrupt.
If banks helped you get out of debt, they’d collapse.
If Tom kills Jerry, the show is over.
Without us there is no show and we have the remote.
