    Turning off street lights to cut emissions is insanity. Their obsession with Net Zero is now turning into a clear threat to public health and safety – and it is only going to get worse:

    They're wrecking the economy on purpose. By weakening and demoralising the UK, they hope to make it easier to push the country back under EU control.

    The Budget was deliberately designed to harm the economy. The globalist "elite" want the UK to do badly after Brexit to make it easier to push the country back under EU control, and to deter other nations from leaving the bloc.

    There's a plausible theory that the globalists in charge of Labour are wrecking the economy on purpose. An eventual bailout, say by the IMF, would be conditional on formally rejoining the EU or at least the Single Market - which was the endgoal all along.

    Shocking footage of French police assaulting unarmed protesters, including a medical volunteer who is there to help the injured. When will EU leaders condemn the Macron government's widespread human rights abuses? x.com/Steph_Roy_/sta… #GiletsJaunes #ActeXIV

    Watching this appalling footage of French police beating up a defenceless female protester reminded me of when Spanish police brutally assaulted voters in Catalonia. Are they trained to behave like this on the continent?

    They're forcing small-scale landlords out of business in order to transfer the rental sector to elite-controlled financial institutions. Owner-occupiers are going to be the next target.

    It's a repeat of the diesel scam. They're sucking people in with subsidies and tax breaks, before they tell us "EVs are actually really bad for the environment" and impose new charges and restrictions. The real goal is a big reduction in car ownership.

    The Budget was designed to damage the economy. It was deliberate, not ignorance or stupidity. The pro-EU establishment want the UK to do badly, to make it easier to push the country back under Brussels' control.

    They're determined to destroy the middle classes by stealing their property, savings and investments, using a combination of high taxes, costly red tape and inflation. The stolen assets will be transferred to the financial "elite", not the working class.

    Huge bills are precisely the point of pay-per-mile, which will no doubt be charged on top of road tax, fuel duty and ULEZ-style levies in cities. The real goal is to restrict ordinary people's mobility by forcing them out of their cars.

    They stopped new reservoirs and now there's a water crisis. They forced power stations to close and now there's an energy crisis. They switched land to biofuels and now there's a food crisis. See how the green agenda works yet?
    Keeping the country short of water is now government – and EU – policy

    French police used massive amounts of tear gas on anti-government protesters in Toulouse earlier - another day marked by shocking government violence. Perhaps if this happened 6,000 miles away in Hong Kong the BBC would report it. #GiletsJaunes #Acte31
