Next election cycle, can we please get rid of these morons?
Developments like these would be controversial, however. Construction of wind turbines generates strong opposition and plans to build clusters in mainland Britain have been greeted with fury. Opponents say wind turbines rarely work to capacity; spoil some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes; and kill large numbers of wild birds.
Supporters argue that wind farms help to reduce dependence on carbon-emitting fossil-fuel plants and are non-polluting. Nevertheless, the prospect of giant turbines peppering the wild, craggy coasts of the Dingle Peninsula, Kerry and Galway will provoke a furious response.
Is the U.K. completely lost to the leftists? Is there any chance of sanity returning? I am really wondering. I mean look at this one comment of MANY at that article …
Total clueless loser. Every word reeks of brainwashed slave. This is off-the-scale stupid.
And what about the Irish? Are they really going to allow themselves to be pillaged? My Irish buddies are tough, scary tough. No way this would be allowed unless all the tough guys already left the place.
If the U.K. is completely lost to socialism, we need to immediately set up a refugee exchange. One-for-One swaps of those that want out of the nanny-state, sent over here in exchange for one of our liberals that seek socialist utopia. On our side here there may have to be some persuasion applied 😉 (we can pass a law or something at midnight on Christmas Eve) but it would be for their own good since they will never succeed here anyway. It would be something like that movie where the two babes swap houses, but permanent.
Sadly the Irish are already being pillaged.
Having listened to the siren voices of Europe they surrendered their relatively newly won freedom from the UK and their independent coinage to the unelected jackboots of Brussels.
They rejected the Lisbon Treaty but were then forced to vote again, and in fear of the financial crisis reverberating around them voted yes for the security they expected to ensue.
Now they find themselves right royally shafted by their European masters, with no possible way out for many, many years.
And with the EU handing down non negotiable directives in spadefuls, who is to say that they won’t be forced to accept these excrescences for the European common good.
What would happen, really, if people just said no. No, you can’t have my land for windmills. No, you can’t have my money for ‘global warming intiatives’. No.
When the people said “No” to the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland, the bods in the EU demanded another referendum until the people saw “the error of their ways”. They eventually got their “Yes” campaign.
It’s like a go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, have another cup of tea. (The Eurocrats seemingly were avid watchers of Father Ted)
Hey look who’s going green!
TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that the only way to save the environment is to campaign against the capitalist system. Ahmadinejad made the remarks during an address to a ceremony in Tehran, in which a national project on environment was inaugurated. The avarice of the capitalists is taking its toll on the environment, the president stated

I hope President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will consider welcoming anti-capitalist people from capitalist countries who prefer Iran’s form of socioeconomic life.
I’m not sure but I think this front page picture of Karzai has something to do with a tweet from Anthony Weiner.

Here is the future if these are built (courtesy South Point, Big Island of Hawaii):

Yes, that wind farm is a real eyesore.
I notice that some of the wind turbines are rusted and bladeless. In addition to required back-up sources of power (during the coldest and warmest weather, the wind is often light or calm) these enviro-fascists forget the cost of maintanence and upkeep for the wind turbines.
The globe may not we warming, but my blood is! I know all those unspoilt areas in the west of Ireland well. I’ve always had it in the back of my mind to retire there, someday. There must be a hundred spots where I’ve stood looking out to sea with the wind in my face. It never occurred to me that one day, someone would want to build giant bird-shredders to ruin some of the best views in Ireland, if not the world.
Even worse, this is not for the benefit of the Irish, but for us Brits! What about the landlines to connect all these “farms” that will run across the country to the east coast? The biggest contribution to the Irish economy is from tourism. The most popular destinations are on the west coast. Anyone who’s been there knows why.
In County Mayo in the north-west, locals have been fighting the building of a gas pipeline for TEN years, yet (from the Grauniad article) “Hendry rejected the idea that the turbines would be controversial in Ireland, however. “It will be up to the Irish government and the Irish people to decide if they want to build them. This is a voluntary programme and it could bring significant wealth to the country with very little downside.”
More like voluntary economic suicide for the “auld country” IMHO. Must dash, I need to SPIT.
“Next election cycle, can we please get rid of these morons?”
We could, but since the 2-party system is as deeply-ingrained in the UK as it is in the US, we would simply be replacing them with another bunch of morons.
Any other result would be akin to the US electing Ross Perot or Ralph Nader as President. ie : Never going to happen.
If that take that beautiful coast and place those horrific windmills there what will be the new catch phrase replacing the Emerald Isle?
Can some of our European, especially U.K. friends have a look at this theory and describe to me if it speaks the truth about EuroPolitics? This thing opened my eyes wider than before …

It goes on about the Junta of Experts which kind of makes sense, even here in the USA, but is mostly referencing Europe in the article.
In a way this may be the final form of Communism, or International Socialism. And I suspect that this thing will not go away willingly. This will require a worldwide battle for liberty. The only alternative is as I mentioned above, we get you folks to come over here in exchange for our liberals. Then there will be one bastion of liberty to protect.
