Darling George has all the answers , put the plough away !

To be fair he has a point regard growing crops for bio fuel , but would take issue regard vast uplands un cropable , thats why there are sheep there .

There are solutions to the food crisis. But ploughing up Britain isn’t one of them | George Monbiot

Though global prices are spiralling, fuelled by Russia’s war in Ukraine, this is no reason to drop rewilding, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I agree with some of his analysis but rewilding won't do anything to ameliorate any "climate breakdown". He needs to accept that rewilding is and will be a pastiche - an interesting one for certain areas of the country but I doubt it will be as exciting as he hopes.

But essentially all our problems with food supply at the moment are political rather than technical productivity ones. And anyway what's wrong with a farmer making a bit of money? We usually bump along the bottom

Will be a busy couple of months for the Moonbat, the new book is out in May telling us all how we need to feed ourselves. He must be a tad nervous that World events may leave some of it out of date before it even hits the shelves.
I just love the fact that there is a cow on the front cover, that must be a mock up, the one that goes to print will have a vat of gloop on the cover surely ?

I find it endlessly comical that he wants to "rewild" areas of land that are essentially wild already.

sort of sums up the understanding the champagne socialists have of the countryside . "let the plebs eat cake "

He‘s tremendous at picking out certain facts and then heading off into different conclusions than normal people would derive from those facts.

The best thing that the Moonbat could for society is to donate his blood and bones as a source of fertiliser

he peppers the article with enough facts and opinions I agree with, that a less knowledgeable person would also agree with the conclusions too.

Making a start on trying to dig himself out of that hole he's dug for himself. Future high food prices/ shortages can be firmly laid at his ( and others ) door.

I was partial to a bit of beaver but my missus said I wasn't allowed it anymore

Events have overtaken gorgeous and his cohorts. Double digit inflation figures on food & fuel will quickly extinguish any of his utopian rewilding fantasies.

And so they should.

I'd like to think that the prospect of civil unrest and the subsequent electoral obliteration might focus a few minds in number 10, but stranger things have happened.

I live in hope that Boris's current girlfriend is more sensible and she can be installed as PM before the end of this parlaiment.

And there was me thinking the title was all about George Useless. Perhaps he has all the answers, oh yes he does, get rid off everything and replace with trees and import everything.
