Re. Isle of Wight getting ugly16 Jul 2020 07:27
imposition of Biosphere status has been done contrary to the law of the land and in a manner prejudicial to the rights of mineral extraction and with insufficient consultation with stakeholders. It is both high-handed and unrealistic to suppose that an island full of people and businesses could be run as such. These idiots have no idea of the extent that fossil fuels play in nearly all industrial processes and modern materials, to fully deny this role they would have to stop heating their homes, cooking, bathe in cold water and without shampoo, not build homes in the first place and remove all machine-made clothing and footwear plus rip up all road surfaces and not use any rubber wheels or solvents, in fact they could scrap their hospitals as they should not get any funding from taxes used to pay for them, ban children's toys and have supermarkets charge 10 times the price for goods in glass bottles...wait no! scrap the glass as that needs gas to make! they'll have to try to carry everything in a basket made by hippies.... I rest my case
