Approaching the General Election

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Paper People

The looming prospect of a General Election, leaves me in a quandary, I am desperate to see the back of the labour party, but I am equally unconvinced by the somewhat wet Conservative opposition. Labour have had thirteen years, and by any measure, we can see the wrecked economy, you only need to consider that the Government’s share of national spending has moved from around 36% at the time Labour took office in 1997 to around 52% today. Hardly a position to be envied as any government attempts to restore the budget deficit we can see ahead. Which according to some observers will peak in 2014 at £1,400,000,000,000 or £23,333 per individual based on a population of 60 Million!

The Met Office and another Poor Summer

This video on youTube expresses my sentiments about the hysteria surrounding anthropogenic climate change!

I would add that although I have some reservations about anthropogenic climate change, (climate always changes), it does not follow that I am in favour of the rampant destruction of the earth’s resources. I am extremely concerned about the loss of rain forest for example, having witnessed first hand the deforestation in Malaysia in the early nineties, when I worked in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. A trip across the causeway over the Jahore Straits into mainland Malaysia, provided ample evidence of the destruction of the forests, there is now no prime jungle in the peninsular.
