More power madness

Best we can do is stock up on candles, warm clothing & alternative cooking & heating methods. Camping gaz cooker & calor gas heaters are my plan. You can get the cookers with the disposable gas cartridges but they aren't very cost effective for long term use (which sadly I think we're gonna have to do).

This whole "biomass" thing really bugs me,

i'm not getting into the whole "global warming" discussion here, but i seriously think we'd be better growing more trees (of all varieties)

growing more trees and letting them do thier stuff, lets keep burning coal, but leave the trees standing for now!

What I can't understand is when the local councils plant trees, instead of using trees that "look pretty", why not plant fruit trees. Apples, pears, plums, cherries. All can grow in our climate (not sure about far north) & would give people free food for those who wanted it. At least we would get a decent return on our council tax

The council seem to be hacking and slashing everything in the local park

I wrote to the council a few years ago asking why they couldn't do this. I'm still waiting for a reply.

Would anyone bet against the government going full circle and re-opening coal mines in 10 years time (once we've all suffered enough)?

TPTB is/are prepping like mad - no way do those people want to be "The Powers That Were". Besides, as far as I know, torches, pitchforks, and tar and feathers are still legal in the UK.

Our political class are really stooges.
I'd love to know who is pulling their strings.
