Equally the question has to be asked "again" just how much taxpayer money was wasted by the Mad Bitch in creating the policy and making the legislation for a non-existent problem.
No appologies for the terminology, sometimes if the hat fits, you just have to wear it.

Had a quick look for this story last night. The best the mighty BBC could come up with was this.

Well that’s only to be expected. Journalists are the last people to understand this stuff and poke holes in it.

Quoted "environmental groups" should be able to get their heads round it but it’s seemingly a bit complicated for them too, bless.

1) Misogynistic language is bang out of order, whatever the provocation.

2) All the time our National representative bodies are blaming cows for climate change, having a pop at Politicians/ Environmental groups/ the BBC is pointless.

Where was that used???
Now don't be the hypocrite and use it as a reference to what I wrote because it was targeted at a specific individual of ill repute who actually deserves it.
Equally "turn the tables" ,how many times do women do exactly the same thing in relation to men and get away with it, probably including yourself.
And for equally and inclusion I would use a similar relivant phrase for Canada's current PM who equally "useless"

Basically nothing about it in this country that doesn't infer we're about to get a free pass to continue producing half the countries greenhouse gasses.

TLDR: we haven't lost enough journalists yet
