The government is to implement around six billion pounds worth of spending cuts. These will be made initially in the public sector.Among other things, civil service perks will be restricted.
This may well be a praiseworthy objective, but it pales into insignificance compared to the cuts which could be made simply by chopping some of our planned 'environmental' projects.
Take the the plan to generate a third of Britain's energy from massive wind parks. The cost of this is estimated to be a hundred billion pounds. The turbines only work 40% of the time, and will be quite unnecessary if a proposed expansion of nuclear energy goes ahead. We are not building these because there is any need, or demand, for them, but because the faceless ones at the EU demand that a certain proportion of our energy should be from 'renewable' sources. Otherwise, they will punish us with massive fines. There can hardly be a better illustration of the damage which the Greens and the EU have inflicted upon the British economy.
