It is hardly surprising that farmers are considering or have already reduced their arable acreage in favour of grass. This will reduce the UK’s production of cereals including wheat, barley oats and beans, on what is sure to be a continuing decline. This combined with the government’s push towards reducing productive farming and reversion to environmental schemes, the future of British home-grown food is looking decidedly bleak.
At a time when the world is facing a food shortage, and an increasing demand for clean water, and global health is being impacted by rising temperatures, ozone depletion, over consumption of ocean resources, species extinction, CO2 concentration, deforestation, and global sea levels, surely it is the time to increase British food production, not go all out to reduce it.
It appears that governments have been burying their heads in the sand for too long. Increasingly we see the result of officialdom giving up on discipline and respect, and embracing perverted reasoning. Parents are no longer allowed to discipline their children. Teachers are prevented from teaching respect and creating a safe space in the classroom excluding yobbish and insulting behaviour, confusion regarding gender and identity, and instilling discipline, at the risk of being sacked.
There was a telling report last week that identifies one in five young people as not working due to ‘mental health’ issues. Reading between the lines, most of them would not have a problem if they actually got up in the morning, made their beds, ate a proper breakfast, and went off to work. But of course, the authors of the report are far too timid to say so.
We have watched in disbelief as the police stood by, even encouraged ‘Just Stop Oil’ mobs vandalising and blocking the streets of London and motorways. Police and the leader of the Labour party taking the knee and statues felled because a criminal in the USA was unfortunately killed. What has that to do with the United Kingdom?
We now watch in horror as some pro-Palestine extremists vandalise city centres, defile monuments, even The Elizabeth Tower. (Big Ben) Similar activists threaten British politicians and their families; surely existing legislation should stop this. Why are the police, authorities, and the Mayor of London, not preventing this abuse of our precious democracy?
No one should be surprised by George Galloway’s win which confirms that British politics is gripped by race not political party allegiances. The UK lacks strong, discernible, honest, representative, charismatic leadership in politics and the Church of England, leaving a vacuum into which extremists slide unopposed.
