RELENTLESS PROPAGANDA

You can see from this latest edition of "First" (a magazine for all UK councillors, sent out using taxpayers money, as well as being on-line) that the "message" about GW is still being relentlessly pumped out, with no room for dissent. In an earlier post I drew attention to the continuous stream of GW propaganda. This is the "official" line which now permeates through all levels of government local and national, and all three main political parties. Though privately there are a number of councillors and staff who do not agree with it, publicly there are hardly any who dare to speak out for fear of being discredited or losing their position. It is rather like going into a church and saying you don't believe in god.

It is not only us councillors who are subjected to the government message. Children are being targeted by government-funded organisations such as the Economic and Social Research Council. According to the local paper this event included an "expert panel" consisting of someone from Friends of the Earth, someone from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (who get their funding from the ESRC), and someone from the council, with a government minister opening the event. The article says "the students will be asked whether it is basically the Government's responsibility to tackle climate change or if individuals have to take action." Not, of course, whether man is responsible for climate change, or can affect it; or even whether the cost of attempting to do so is affordable or proportionate. Those questions would be much too controversial and suggest there could be alternatives.

Also advertising in the same edition of "First" is an organisation called "Groundwork". They are also targeting young people (see their website here) These bodies are charities, no doubt receiving taxpayers money, and doing good work; but they are now proselytisers for this new faith.
