Ministers should do nothing of the sort.
The UK public should be urged by the government to protect the climate by eating less meat and dairy produce, advisers say.
The usual suspects who want to control us. It is not the place of government to micromanage our lives – despite recent events giving them a taste for it. It really is time we refused to comply with these people. That said, I have been refusing to comply all along.
I will not be told by activists, advisors, ministers or anyone else what I should eat.
The CCC says Boris Johnson must devise evidence-based policies to encourage healthier diets and set clear targets.
Ah, yes, the beloved targets. I can think of a use for targets, but I suspect that isn’t what they mean. No one voted for these nasty little dictators, but they have squirmed into positions of power and influence nonetheless. Time for some DDT.
Labour = Loony left; even their core base won’t vote for them
Lib Dems = Who? Not relevant despite by election win
Tories = New Labour nanny statists
So where do the silent majority of big C voters go?
Now that is a question I have constantly been asking myself for years. 55 years ago I was a Young Conservative. I now look upon the so called Conservative Party with a disdain bordering on hatred.
Who do we liberty loving conservative types look to?
(Pass the wine / whisky / gin)
I’m rather too long in the tooth, being in my eighth decade – but were a latter-day Wat Tyler to appear…
Evidence-based policies, hahahahahaha. The deluded fools on the Climate Change Committee wouldn’t recognise evidence if you etched it on a brick and pounded them in the face with it. Reality refusing to conform to the scary predictions made by climate “scientists” is evidence.
More like policy based evidence making. What is it with these obnoxious busybody constantly wanting to interfere in our lives?
We are about the worst nanny state in the world. Look how our pubs were destroyed in 2007. These bastards never give up and should always be confronted and their bans and advice totally ignored !
Past few months Morrisons frozen ‘reduced to clear’ has been full of Vegan / Veggie food: burgers, roasts etc – Brands (Stella McCrappy etc), not own range. Not selling much even though >=50% off
People jumped on bandwagon then quickly jumped off again – they want tasty food, not virtue food and sod ‘the planet’
Revealed preferences trump expressed preferences again
The Climate Crisis and Covid Crisis have now been combined to drive fear. Both lies and a means of subjugating public
Yes, the IPCC have just leaked their latest screed of doomsday predictions to the press. Exactly the same cack that they have been spouting for thirty years. If they had been right back then this stuff would have happened already. Oh well, our predictions failed, just push them back another thirty years, rinse and repeat.

“Impartial, Balanced” C4 News today broadcast a lengthy Advertorial for good veggie Impossible Burger vs bad planet destroying beef burgers
What C4 don’t mention is many of these ‘fake meat’ products are less healthy than meat
I am increasing my red meat intake.
We can resist all we like but they’ll just engineer things to price product out of the range of many people just as I’m sure they will with car ownership.
