BJ says our future will be green. “We” will be made to comply – or else!
It’s happening. As many of us have been saying: after Covid comes the Green Blob. From his non-covid ‘personal quarantine’ BJ has done as he said he would and announced his ‘Green Plan’, starting with the ban on the sale of all petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Other green blob projects will surely follow, such as making it illegal not to install a smart meter in one’s home or such as replacing the gas boilers in our homes with extra-green CO2 saving models.
This announcement is important not only because of the implications for the future of our country. It’s important because BJ has clearly won his premiership under false premises – we voted for him because of Brexit, not because of Greenery. There is a Green Party after all … We can surely say that BJ was the Trojan Horse for the Green Blob.
It’s especially important because we’ve already seen how the covid measures, restricting our freedom for the sake of ‘saving lives’, ahem: saving ‘Our Holy Cow’, have been implemented without parliamentary scrutiny, how certain parties already demand ‘anti-vaxxer laws’ to stifle public debate. What can be used because: “Covid!!!” can easily be used for implementing green blobbery.
Looking at BJ’s ‘green policies’ it’s easy to connect the dots. After all, if ‘saving lives’ by ‘exterminating covid’ is heroic, then it’s surely super-heroic to ‘save the planet’! “We” will surely be happy to comply! After all, “we” have let ourselves be sheepified (apologies to the woolly, four-legged variety!), wearing face nappies because ‘it saves lives!’, so we’ll surely do ‘our bit’ and will comply, for example when laws force us to install a smart meter:
“Electricity users will need to be re-educated to show ‘responsibility’, it seems, and to submit to ‘demand side control’ in future. So the power provider may decide when, or which, items of plug-in electrical equipment can or cannot be used in your local area at any given time, or vary its charges, as already happens in some contracts. The idea of having adequate resources of electricity generation is no longer put forward as the desired standard. Into this new set-up they want to bring millions of electric vehicles and abolish domestic gas heating systems, straining credibility.” (link)
See – that ‘Nudge Unit’ cannot be abolished, they have more work to do, nudging us into accepting poverty – not just fuel poverty but actual poverty. If you haven’t read Sir John Redwood’s fine Diary entry yesterday then please do so. His conclusion is important:
“It will be more difficult for the UK to enjoy an industrial revival without cheaper power or without plenty of capacity and no interruptions to supply.” (link)
Indeed – but that isn’t really ‘green’, is it! I wonder if BJ and his green blob advisers, if the ‘Read Wall Breaking Tories’ who welcome BJ’s greenery because it must mean jobs for their constituencies (link) have thought about the connection between jobs in industries, even ‘green’ industries, and cheap, uninterrupted energy supply.
Moreover, have they thought about how the lives of their constituents will be affected when smart meters interrupt their electricity supply, perhaps during the day when industry needs lots of electricity to work? It’s not just the elderly who will suffer – what about that modern icon, the ‘mother with small children’? Washing kid’s clothes, keeping the house warm for them: can’t be done, we must save the planet and interrupt your electricity supply!
I’ll just mention in passing that such interruptions will affect all of us who are using the internet in their homes. Silencing us, silencing the podcasters and video makers who criticise government: what a lovely consequence, surely unintended?
Never mind that – those mothers will be at work, their children will be in a creche or in schools, the elderly will all be in ‘care homes’ – and those places will be warm, no electricity needed for households. No cooking needed – everybody can get hot meals delivered to their doors. Forget about ‘cooking from scratch’ and all those modern, eco-friendly lifestyles the Westminster middle class wimmin have been writing about. Perhaps they’d love to wash all their clothes by hand, in a tub, as their grannies and great-grannies did? So eco-friendly!
The Times, who proudly claims to be the instigator of BJ’s greenery thanks to their campaign for ‘clean air’, has some details of the points BJ will make:
“Mr Johnson’s ten-point plan includes: – Confirmation of £1.3 billion for new charging points for electric vehicles and £582 million in grants to make them more affordable. – Investment of £500 million to develop mass-scale electric batteries. – An additional £1 billion to make homes and businesses more efficient, including another year’s subsidies for domestic energy improvements. – Another £525 million to develop new large and small-scale nuclear power stations. – Up to £500 million to test hydrogen cooking and heating in homes as a less polluting alternative to gas.” (link, paywalled)
If that isn’t enough, here are more green blobbery projects BJ proposes, with The Times including some ‘reality checks’:
“The government has pledged to install 600,000 heat pumps a year by 2028 as part of plans to make homes, schools and hospitals greener. Ministers want gas boilers replaced by electric heat pumps, which extract heat from the ground or air surrounding a building. However, they are expensive and poor quality installations have undermined consumer confidence.” (link, paywalled)
You don’t say! Never mind that such heat pumps are also very noisy: put up with it, to ‘Save the Planet’. Don’t ask where, how or with what those heat pumps are going to be built … we’ve got the money! Here’s more:
“Ministers have already committed £2 billion for cycling and walking as an alternative to the car. A blueprint published in the summer promised thousands of miles of new cycle lanes and the closure of roads to cars to prevent “rat-running”. On public transport, money has been allocated for electric and hydrogen buses, with at least one town or city getting a fully electric fleet by 2025.” (link, paywalled)
We’ve all noticed how local councils tried to implement this thanks to the ‘covid money’ given them by Rishi, and never mind the outcry of the local people. Some of it has been ‘built back’, a scant consolation. Once people have been nudged and got used to this ‘new normal’, things will be fine, trust BjJand his green blob adviser!
I’ll not even mention the money which is going to be spent on pie-in-the sky projects such as developing ‘zero-emission’ jet engines, or using hydrogen to replace gas in household boilers.
Everything will be fine, absolutely fine, because “we will have wind power”! BJ has said so already and returns to his idea that “we” will become the ‘Saudi Arabia of wind power’, so it will surely have to happen:
“The plan reiterates the government’s commitment that Britain would produce more than enough electricity from offshore wind to power every home in the country by 2030. That will entail a huge expansion. The government has said that it will award subsidy contracts next year to support the next wave of offshore wind projects.” (link, paywalled)
Never mind our crashed economy thanks to covid, never mind the billions to be spent on vaccines and ‘moar NHS’! Never mind that nobody seems to care that any money in addition to covid measures will also have to come out of our wallets. Nobody knows – certainly BJ doesn’t – of where the material for all those lovely green projects is going to come from – China? – or how and where “we” are going to build factories for those green blob projects.
However – rejoice: there will be trees – the final nail in the green blobbery coffin, showing how ‘ideas’ can take off when nobody has to care about the realities ‘on the ground’:
“The government has a target of planting 30,000 hectares of woodland a year, which it believes could help tackle unemployment. The Conservative manifesto pledged to increase tree planting to hit the target by 2025 but the government has struggled so far. Just over 13,000 hectares of trees were planted in the year to the end of March, a similar level to the previous year.” (link, paywalled)
Where will those trees be planted? Next to the already existing wind turbines, perhaps? Has anyone in the departments involved, from BJ down, actually got a clue about what our country outside the M15 looks like ‘for real’? Have they heard of the geography and indeed geology of our Isles? Do they want to plant trees in the Peak district, perchance?
Obviously, a combination of ‘long covid’ and ‘green blobbery’ does real damage intellectual capacities. Even more obviously, living inside the M25 and only travelling to far-flung destinations means the Westminster Cabal, infected by the green blob, doesn’t have a clue. Economic realities are trumped by green pipe dreams.
“We” the peasants will do as we’re told – our Lockdown Compliance has shown this. And of course “we” peasants will have to pay up: taxes, higher energy prices, costs for installing those lovely new toys … and don’t think you can go back to the Middle Ages and have open fires or, more modern, stoves. Burning stuff pollutes! It’s forbidden! Burning candles produces CO2! So don’t even dare to think about doing that!
Strangely enough, I’m reminded of the ‘Ancient Regime’ in France, right before the revolution in 1789. Only this time it’s not a Marie Antionette – sorry, Carrie, you’re not even close to being in her class – but the whole Court, the green-infested Westminster Cabal, who asks us why we can’t eat cake …
KBO!
Don’t have a smart meter and don’t want one. I presume all new houses have to have them fitted as well as a water meter. As for those who don’t have one will the government will lean on the electric supply companies to refuse to supply houses without a meter in due course?
This has appeared in Conservative Woman. I agree with every word!

Wow the field is wide open for Nigel Farage – Covid has shown the utter incompetence of our existing master – You have to assume they will run their Green Agenda and their Great Reset and sadly Brexit the same way as they run Covid – What they want to do is so the style of governance we would now be luxuriating in had the Third Reich or USSR actually prevailed.
Spot on Viv.
The green blobs just don’t live in the real world.
P.S. There is already a gubmint department ‘policing’ i.e. pressuring electricity companies to make smart meters compulsory. It fines the companies that don’t have enough installed.
So who actually pays the fines?
I’ll bet they get passed on to the customer in one form or another
And I thought the Maybot was the worst PM in our history. It has only taken a few months for her to be upstaged by an authoritarian version.
GET RID OF ‘EM!
And pray what are we going to do with all those defunct car batteries as they fail over time and what is the carbon foortprint [how I hate that phrase] for the building of them. Heat pumps are a very costly way to obtain energy. Just for the yuppies then in their recreated, more money than sense, country lifestyles !!!Oh yar. Can it all get anymore sickening???
I couldn’t help going more than a little green around the gills reading this.
It’s like a mouldy old piece of bread. (The content not the article!)
Pay us lots of money by buying into our ‘green’ projects ‘cos if you don’t
we’re all gonna die in (X+20 years) where X = today’s date
and it will all be YOUR FAULT!
This Gory story has been going strong for some 20 or 30 years. If was very popular especially with Blood and Gore, (just duckduckgo.com it) back in the days when Big Al and his Global Warming Gang were the toast of the left side of town.
I’m delighted to see we now have a PM who’s all over this. What a CON (servative) he is! His predecessor under who’s watch Tilbury Power station was blown up at an ungodly hour, waking me up, TO INCREASE OUR ELECTRICTY PRICES to make sure our manufacturing stays MORE EXPENSIVE than CHINA’s must be so proud of her protégé.
Of course all the ‘carbon’ (carbon dioxide) gushing out of China’s magnificent new coal-fired power stations which generate copious amounts of cheap uninterrupted electricity that is powering them on to becoming the world’s next great super power won’t make any appreciable difference to the Earth’s climate.
Overall, the green slime that infests our politics has made not the slightest difference to the world’s total CO2 output which has grown steadily over the years.
It’s a Chinese Hoax. Like the ‘pandemic’.
CORRUPTION!!!
Michael Keal…..I can only endorse everything you say…….and you say it so well. Xi must be absolutely delighted with the gross stupidity of the UK and our, dare I say, Government (?).
We are systematically destroying all of our industries and handing more and more power to China. Suicidal!
China has promised, contracted, committed itself, pledged…….say it how you will…..to reduce its ‘carbon emissions’ by ??? 2050 – we don’t really know because they keep changing the goalposts- but they are meanwhile building coal- mines by the dozen all over the world – with strings, of course, and we are in thrall to their systematic lying of which they are past masters.
This tells me that we desperately need a complete root and branch clearout of all of the academics, Lawyers, and other charlatans, (which includes Doctors and their oath of hypocrisy!) …….and we must vote into power some men and women who have actually done some hard work for a living and who have come from working-class backgrounds…….BUT…..
The million dollar question is…….DO WE HAVE ANY —–AND WHERE ARE THEY HIDING……and having found them..just HOW can they percolate to the top?
Michael Keal. There is just one thing puzzling me. Amongst all the Green Crappery didn’t I see something about nucleur power plants?
Has someone knocked a bit of sense in to the Great Green Blob?
The always excellent Andrew Montford, a renowned Climate Change sceptic who wrote an excellent book documenting the scientific fraud perpetrated by that infamous ‘hockey stick’ graph [The Hockey Stick Illusion] has published an article on the actual situation in regards to windfarms – the one’s already in use and the ‘future’ if “we” follow BJ’s green blob dream.
You can read it here
James Delingpole’s book Watermelons (green on the outside red in the middle) is an excellent expose of they green scam.
It is indeed – and all of us who participated as comment posters in the then excellent ‘DT Blogs’ where Dellers published blog post after blog post on the Climate Hoax, from the beginning, are named at the end of the book as ‘Knights of Delingpole’. Yep, I’m in it, under my screen name.
Consume cake. And wine from the chalice from the Palace. Then buy more from Amazon.
We’d better get cracking and convert our garage back into a stable.
Donkey/horses aren’t green enough for Govt’s liking either. Nice try.

MWT. The tory hearse carrying us all over the cliff. Very good.
And despite all of that Tory voters and dog’s returning to their vomit springs to mind.
MWT, Tory policy could be “Death to Christianity”, as you say in your prose poem above, but already Christianity is at death’s door in western Europe. Christian leaders are capitulating to the challenge from Islam (for instance Rowan Williams said that Shariah courts should be accepted here).
And the pseudo-scientific, crypto-religious dogma of Greenery (“Carbon Footprint, Greenhouse Gases, Hockey Stick, Acidification” etcetera ) has replaced Christianity as the religion of our governing classes. So that now religious observance of Green ritual (for instance, Decarbonisation) is compulsory by law.
Instead of Science replacing Religion as was expected, Religion is infiltrating and replacing Science through the new religion of Greenery, that disguises itself as Science (as it also replaces Christianity, but without contradicting Islam). Greenery and Islam could flourish side by side in the future in western Europe.
There are significant religious elements in the way people have reacted to the NHS since March too. The weekly clapfests (worship), the rainbows, graffiti and We love NHS posters (crosses, icons), the privileges accorded to its staff eg front of the queues and free coffee (alms for the monks and nuns). The greencrap is the religion of the woke metropolitans, NHS of the lumpencovidariat (not my own coinage!) and Islam the immigrant and criminal.
“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
G K Chesterton I think
I take your point but do you seriously see any opposition to the direction of travel? In Parliament I mean? My MP is lib dem and described current life at Westminster as “very much business as usual”.
I suggest it’s all if them and if we want change, eg Farage, then everyone has to change. Dividing along existing Party lines is counter productive imho.
