Add in a government agency of thousands to keep track of all this...
What idiots. They actually think that the people of the UK will stand for this? I guess politicians and MP wills get extra credits since they have to travel a lot. And what about the poor smuck who sells all his credits on day one to pay for drugs?..got to give them more.
No doubt there will be some citizens who are “more equal.”
Start the Revolution! No more kowtowing to environmental cultists who want to run every aspect of our lives and wreck the world economy in order to preserve a mythical ecological status quo (the environment, flora, and fauna of the earth have never been static).
The UK is actually doing us a favor by jumping into this full force so we can see the results. I’m glad to hear that the citizens are up in arms over their loss of freedoms and are beginning to show signs of revolt.
What a crock. Of course, all government bureacrats, agencies, and other socialist organizations would be exempt. The rich would benefit because they could buy limitless carbon credits or pay the penalities charged for overuse. The middle class on the other hand, would suffer.
As a civil servant cost estimator I should *LIKE* this scheme. Oh, that’s right, I’m supposed to serve the taxpayer; not service him!
Agreed! We can watch this fail the way Canadian health care has.
All of whom would be exempt, of course, as they protect the common good.
I'm absolutely amazed at the gross acceptance of this so called environmental gloom and doom scenario perpetrated on a gullible and ignorant public. Can't anybody think for themselves anymore?
Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [or his carbon credit card]
Since then I have treated the Greens for what they are....my enemy.
i read somewhere that there are thousands of britains leaving the british isles weekly. the muslilm take over is one reason, but the taxation is another.
“What idiots. They actually think that the people of the UK will stand for this?”
They might not have a choice. Just look at us; no matter who we vote for in the upcoming election, environmental fascism is essentially what we’re going to get because all three candidates believe in global warming.
“Can’t anybody think for themselves anymore?”
Some people think that just because a person is an expert on a subject (or claims to be) that they are always right and, as ordinary people, they have no right to challenge the experts.
Me, I don’t give a flip whether the person’s an “expert” or not. No one is always right and everyone is susceptible to political bias and good old-fashioned intimidation.
“Can’t anybody think for themselves anymore?”
A) Not unless they are rigorously trained to. It requires logical conjecture.
