Praise be John Brignell, the eloquent voice of reason
JB on Carbon - one of life’s little necessities.
There is no question that he is right, not least about the religious nature of the campaign. Why don’t we care anymore? The average Briton seems to have entered a mental state whereby s/he no longer gives a single toss whether or not they are being told the truth. What matters is that they feel undisturbed and cosy in their steady, cotton wool wrapped, unrocked boat.
They choose friends who look the same as them; who sound the same as them; who vote the same as them; who listen to the same music, watch the same TV, read the same ‘newspapers’, go to the same pub; who go to the same church, sports events or whose children go to the same school.
They believe that their political representatives and their media lackeys more or less tell them the truth and have their best interests at heart. They believe that the police and security services are concerned mostly with protecting them and their children. They believe in Global Warming.
You are a bunch of dumb asses!
…but here is someone else with true courage (a post-modern lionheart) - Dave Bellamy writing in the Times.
