THE educated idiocy of the progressive ‘green’ movement knows no bounds. All schoolchildren are indoctrinated on a contrived climate emergency and the need to ‘save the planet’, but as universities are a finishing school for the doomsday cult, it is the intellectual class that is most puritanical. The Labour Party, having disillusioned many of its idealistic followers, is losing support to the Green Party.
The Green Party is not really concerned with preserving a green and pleasant land. Instead, it is like a watermelon – a thin coating of green on the outside, but red within. Its policies would create a very ungreen and unpleasant land, in which fields are replaced by acres of solar panels, views over rolling hills are blighted by a profusion of wind turbines, and the green belt is buried under the concrete of ‘fairer housing’.
Owen Jones epitomises this lunacy. In his latest Guardian column, he urges the Green Party to ‘stop being polite and start picking some fights’. The Green Party is his latest vehicle for opposing the insufficiently left-wing Sir Keir Starmer, whose government is failing to pursue economic and social justice. Jones criticises the uninspiring social media activity of the Greens, but he is breathtakingly naïve about the party’s priorities: ‘Where was their Save Our Grannies campaign over the winter fuel payment, with a short video offering emotional testimonies from struggling pensioners?’ Does Jones really think that ecological zealots want elderly white people to use more carbon fuel? He rails against the ‘unprecedented squeeze in living standards and a crumbling public realm’, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Green Party policies are designed to curtail consumption and service provision (for example, reducing rubbish collection in Bristol to once a month).
In the comments beneath the article, someone remarked on the incongruence of the Green Party favouring unlimited immigration while opposing development. Another person corrected this: the Greens want both! The manifesto on fair housing pledges to ‘provide 150,000 new social homes every year’. The migration policy would certainly need plenty of cranes and piledrivers, because ‘the Green Pary wants to see a world without borders’.
The Labour government is plumbing the depths of unpopularity, and Jones sees an opportunity for the Greens, proclaiming that ‘the party brims with the confidence in the moral righteousness of its cause’. Rather like the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, or the Great Reset. Some readers commented on the road to Hell being paved with good intentions, but are the motives of the party’s leaders and financial backers really benevolent?
The Green Party’s vision is a hideous dystopia. As described in my book Green in Tooth and Claw, the movement started with genuine concern for the environment, striving for harmony between nature and humankind, but it was soon hijacked by the radical left and then by globalist totalitarians who want to impoverish, enslave and depopulate.
You don’t need conspiracy theory to see where the Green Party would lead us, though. Just read the manifesto on the party website. Vote Green, get concrete – with the host community overwhelmed by African and Asian migrants (sorry, ‘climate refugees’). How else could you foresee the outcome of their policies?
