Energy and Nanny Talk
Cameron talked the talk on energy yesterday but does he really mean it? We can have cheaper energy prices if the government reduces its unbelievably high tax take on every litre of petrol and diesel that is sold. We can also have cheaper energy if all wind farms and solar panels cease to be subsidised. We can also have cheaper energy if we use our coal and shale deposits. It is frankly ludicrous that we are not doing so are rather if the Government will not drop the unachievable condition about scrubbing coal emissions and the storage of shale generated CO2 underground. Cheaper energy will help industry to generate more profits, increase tax revenues and help us to cut our deficit more quickly. So why the ridiculous conditions on coal and shale gas use? Cameron cannot both be touchy greeny and will the means to ensure we have cheaper energy. If he truly wants cheaper energy he must support coal and shale exploitation wholeheartedly. Talking the talk on energy gives one hope that Cameron really understands what we need. His announcement this morning on taxpayer funded parenting guidance does the opposite and makes one want to curl up and die. For better or worse but 99% of the time for the better, parents have brought up their children without any parenting advice other than from relatives and friends. No government, least of all a Tory one that believes in personal responsibility and the family, should become involved in such a socialist area. Parenting advice is not a Big Society thing but it surely smacks of the Nanny State. what the hell is Cameron doing promoting it?
