Lord Deben / Selwyn Gummer is ....

[Bald Rick]

... a tosser.

Unbelievable. His latest wheeze to combat climate change is to suggest that villages don't need street lighting as we are country folk so can use a torch.

Climate change: Lord Deben says street lights not needed in rural areas

Lord Deben says not having street lights in rural areas would help meet emissions targets.

Just demonstrates how "they" don't give a toss about those of us who live & work in the countryside.

Let have more examples of the "urban elite" giving us a good fingering

Some of his proposals to save us all are frankly bizarre

I really do feel that we are under sustained attack now from the Urbanites ... you know, those with full bellies

Lady something now is she?

He was right

He was right

For sure, but you don't make your daughter a target of media attention like that.

His argument was he had looked at the evidence and demonstrated he would give it to a family member.

Good on him. He was right

Have just checked, she was only 4. I wouldn't. He should have just stuffed his own face.

He might have been right but I still can't stand the odious twerp.

 

[Bill the Bass]

I don't understand he reasoning, he says rural people can use a torch but people in urban areas people need street lights to feel safe. Why do my elderly parents not have a right to feel safe in their own neighbourhood?

I also don't understand his reasoning behind high taxes for SUV's, he states they are a fashion item, right, but surely foreign holidays are also a fashion item? no one is skiing in Japan, Canada or Colorado for utilitarian needs, neither are people pissing it up and whatever else in Ibiza as part of their vocation. The fashion industry is one of the biggest carbon emitters, by his reasoning clothes should be banned or highly taxed - where does that leave people on limited/small incomes?

He and his tufty club committee are conveniently turning a blind eye to HS2 which is currently using two thirds of the nations concrete supply (the most carbon heavy construction product) to shave ten minutes of a train ride from Birmingham to London. Lunacy.

The mans a silly old prat. You do get tired of being lectured at by spotty know all teenagers and dementia ridden old farts.

Back on thread - look at your council tax compared to somewhere in London, you will be horrified at how little they pay in comparison to the value of the property.

Council tax rebate then is it?

 

[Yale]

Why not just go straight to a curfew at 9pm,turn off all the street lights and banish everyone to their houses.

All in the name of saving the planet……
