scruff1,
I get the distinct impression that you are not impressed with Johnson . he delivered
the self harming brexit you wanted and you should be kissing his feet. he certainly ran rings around closet brexiteer Corbyn .

As a society we really need to be steralising people or better still euthanasing them if they can't meet the IQ test to be admitted into the army. We are over run with thick inbreds of every creed & colour I'm afraid a the NHS are culpable imo.

Climate idiots , if they can not get China to cut out coal it's all pointless , the U.K. is only 1% of the problem if that is bad then we are going to have to go back to horses and carts and cold homes and no travel

I don't know about you, but I've had enough of this doom porn. The PM and the Health Secretary have both said that it is the risk of the NHS being "overwhelmed" which will trigger another lockdown. There are forces among government scientific advisers and NHS management that would be delighted to see that happen. Lockdown is win-win for them.I reckon the British people deserve a true picture of what is happening. So I asked George to do Telegraph readers a service. If you see a TV report about a hospital in your region being in trouble, George has agreed to give me the exact bed occupancy figures. Plus Covid discharges and the number of patients who caught the virus in hospital – a figure which is still rolled into "Covid admissions", probably to present as bleak a picture as possible and obscure the lack of infection control.I will then share that data with you in this column. Hopefully, it will be more reassuring than Hugh Pym – but, then, what isn't?Please do email me your George requests at [e-mail]. Let's stand up to the coronaholics and save Christmas. Fight fear with facts!.... Daily Telegraph

I have to take my hat off to Jeremy Corbyn. Hes a master strategist. By making himself unelectable and allowing Fatso a big majority and an even bigger head and BOOOOOM. Uber socialism. Pay comrades to stay at home, pay comrades to eat out, pay factories to do their work, lights out, food shortages, travel around on push bikes, increase taxes, force children to be injected by big brother, force the workforce to be injected against their will, cancel the opposition, cancel freedom to travel and to associate, introduce identity papers. And we still think we are free country . Maybe Labour would be a less authoritarian regime.

One intervention leads to anotherSEPTEMBER 22, 2021 3 COMMENTSThe Business Secretary is not keen to bail out companies that cannot trade profitably at current gas price levels. The last few days we hear have been taken up by meetings with CF Fertiliser who have closed two of their plants and left us short of carbon dioxide as a result. There have also doubtless been plenty of talks with the gas industry itself, where smaller competitor companies seek relief from price controls so they can recharge the true costs of the gas supply, or seek government financial support to stay in business.One well intentioned intervention often leads to another. Price controls designed to help customers can become too severe leading to the bankruptcy of the supplier facing them. Delays in getting price rises agreed to reflect the surge in the cost of the underlying gas comes with a price. If the cost of gas outstrips the price they are allowed to charge the customer they either need a state subsidy to underpin the price control, or need a relaxation of the price control. With neither the company goes bust and the Regulator has to find another company willing to take over the contracts and customers shed by the bankrupt business. There are doubts about how many loss making contracts another gas supplier is willing to pick up. If the eventual s0lution is to let the new supplier charge more, shouldn't the original supplier have been given that freedom to stave off bankruptcy?This is but one small example of what increasing regulation of the energy sector is doing. Time was when UK energy policy balanced on a three legged approach. The policy needed to deliver sufficient capacity for all future needs. It needed to keep the costs down for business and consumers. It needed to contribute to a greener policy. This century policy makers have tended to take national capacity for granted, or have revelled in the idea that we can import any amount of gas, oil and electricity we may need. The wish to push us more in the direction of zero carbon has led to a raft of green levies and advantages given to renewable generators. This has greatly boosted installed wind capacity, just in time to find out that if you experience a period of little or no wind the rated capacity is meaningless and you have a shortage. It has also meant substantial surcharges on bills to pay for the energy transition.Such a policy leads on to further government interventions. Government finds itself forced to project a plan for everything, to launch a raft of subsidies and rules to pursue the plan, and maybe to use government contracts or investments to force the pace of change. This can lead to substantial misallocations of capital and to supply failures. The system needs reforming in a pro market direction, so price signals can come to play a more important role in allocating investment and in choosing  between competing methods of supply.....

Everything going to plan then..

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned ministers must 'control' the public finances after the government racked up another £20.5billion of borrowing last month, the second highest figure on record for August.

The Cost of going Green.. Ministers today admitted some families will face a choice between 'eating and heating' this winter amid pleas from Britain's floundering energy companies to let them add hundreds of pounds to household bills immediately.
