Go to the Torygraph “your view” today. Nobody likes “Zak”, or is it “Zac”? Why don’t we facebook him?

David Davis (yet again….doh!!!)

Here is what the otherwise-wobbly Torygraph kindly published from me today. I could not deny it to you, my bolg-reader, now, could I, as I’m such a vain creature!

Petrol should be priced in gallons (nearly £5 and rising!) to show how damned expensive it now is. I remember when it was four shillings (a gallon.) Then, we can ask what the dickens the gumment is doing with the 90% of it that’s tax revenue already.So long as it’s legal to own any kind of car, any other measure to distort the market for cars implies that people are the gumment’s farm-animals. And we see today what it does to those it does not like, when they have the equivalent of a cold (from which they will mostly recover, like people.)

And no, our “resources” are not running out. That is so much marxist-leninist-anti-Western claptrap, taught as part of the “national curriculum” in schools, so as to make today’s teens more compliant towards the gumment and its plans to kick us back into the 10th century, where it wants us to belong; much easier to manage an immobile population!

“Zac” Goldsmith is I am sure a nice young man, but he should learn to enjoy his wealth quietly, as is his right. He should stick to running a few businesses if that pleases him, or also go after a few pretty girls like his father did very successfully, if he wants to do that too and if he can find someone nice. (SEX. SEX. SEX. Well there you are - I’ve artificially-edited that in to get more hits and trackbacks to us here at the LA blog….this black type here did NOT appear in the Torygraph, so there!)

Then we the people, who need not be his concern as we don’t need it, thanks, and who need to buy food quickly in large amounts for our families, at out-of-town-supermarkets, using largish cars, need not worry about what he thinks. This I think would have been the view of the Sainted Auberon Waugh, today.

CONSERVATIVE REPORT ON ENVIRONMENT A “BLUEPRINT FOR GREEN FEUDALISM”

The Libertarian Alliance, the radical free market and civil liberties policy institute, today denounces the Conservative Party report Blueprint for a Green Economy as a “blueprint for green feudalism”.

Libertarian Alliance Director, Dr Sean Gabb, says:

“The Conservatives are proposing more taxes and more regulations on the basis of fraudulent claims about the impact of human activity on the climate. There is no global warming. If there is, it is not our doing. If it is our doing, government action is not the answer. But there is no global warming. This whole set of claims is a device to rescue socialism from the failure of its promise to deliver heaven on earth. Shame on the Conservatives for joining in the clamour.

“And shame, above all, on the very rich men who are telling us to tighten our belts in their attempt to ’save the planet’. Zac Goldsmith, one of the authors of this Report, is one of the richest men in the country. David Cameron and John Gummer are not poor. If all the economic growth of the past century were to be rolled back, their sort would not suffer. If the rich want to travel, they have their private jets and helicopters. If they want to eat fresh fruit and vegetables out of season, they have their vast greenhouses. If they want to do without washing machines and gas-fired central heating, they can fall back on armies of servants and expensive personal generators. If they want entertainment, they can have their private theatres and orchestras, or whatever in our degraded modern culture serve in their place.

“For them, a reduction of the general wealth would be a blessing. It would ease pressure on the roads that they would continue using, and reduce numbers at exotic holiday resorts that would remain within their reach.

“These people talk about making the world a better place. Perhaps they believe what they say. The natural effect of their words, however, would be to make the world a better place for people who have done nothing to earn their wealth other than take the trouble to be born.

“This whole report is a blueprint for green feudalism.”

The Libertarian Alliance believes:

• That taxes and government regulations are bad:
• That economic growth is good;
• That the world will be a better place when every home in India and China has the same levels of income and consumption as North America and Western Europe;
• That the world will be a much better place when the continued scientific and technological improvement that freedom makes possible have enabled us to establish colonies on the inner planets and in the asteroid belt, and when the conquest of disease has allowed the human lifespan to be extended to centuries;
• That Messrs Goldmsith & Co should live as their ancestors did - whoring, drinking, gambling, hunting and being beastly to their servants - and leave the rest of us alone.

Free Life Commentary,
A Personal View from
The Director of the Libertarian Alliance
Issue Number 165
13th September 2007
Ten years of Being Perhaps Three Quarters Right
by Sean GabbThe other day, I sent out an issue of Free Life Commentary that suggested I was about to give up on political writing. If I really did suggest that—and I do seem to have done so!—I apologise. All I meant to say was that I was about to become very busy with other matters, and that I might have less time than usual for political writing. Those who were led to fear or hope that I was planning to shut up were misled….

More regulation and behaviour-control. Now “Zak” (or is it “Zac”?) wants to tax your “gas-guzzler”, for you not to drive to Tesco in it.

It gets worse.

Today, “Zak” or maybe it’s “Zac”, says that we should all pay more for our “4×4″s, and other “gas-guzzlers”, several times over; at point of sale, in VAT and in petrol excise duty. (I don’t own one by the way, I am poor. we have a smallish 6-year-old people-mover, in which when you press the go-pedal, nothing happens for a bit, then by about October you put on a few mph.) Not content with proposing to let the Soviets charge for parking easily at the only places where these poor people can buy food quickly and cheaply, these new “Conservatives” want to distort the market for vehicles.

I think it’s time not only to not try to take over the “Conservative” party, but to actively oppose it in its newly-acquired greenazi attire, at every opportunity. As a Libertarian, I have never failed to vote in any election at all since 1970, it being our temporary duty (until such time as the State Shall Wither Away) to try to mitigate the pernicious effects of marxism/leninism and the fatal attraction it holds for (nearly all) our wannabe rulers here. but it’s time to vote for someone else.

What do readers think?
