The Conservative Party is totally fake. It's run by globalist lackeys, who impose policies decided outside democracy by the transnational 'elite'. They only pretend to be conservative to get votes from the gullible. Watch what they do, not what they say. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2024/0…
15-minute cities sound like a nice idea, but in reality they'd do immense economic damage by undermining economies of scale and restricting access to jobs. They're actually a sinister attempt to use the built environment to undermine individual freedom: transportwatch.wordpress.com/2023/06/25/15-…
The 'climate lockdowns' agenda - including punitive road charges - has already been decided outside democracy by the transnational 'elite'. It will be imposed whoever governs under the UK's de facto one-party state, including by the fake-conservatives. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
The fake-conservatives are trying to fool voters in the North that their towns are being regenerated by wasting vast sums tarting up railway and bus stations - when in reality ministers are wrecking the economy with high taxes, bureaucracy and red tape. thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24275144.…
Electrifying barely-used branch lines is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money, delivering trivial benefits at vast expense. In many cases it would make far more sense to rip up the tracks and convert them into roads - used by many times more people. lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/transport…
The giveaway is that they're failing to install the power capacity needed for a wholesale switch to electric vehicles. Their real agenda is a big reduction in car ownership and severe restrictions on mobility - 'climate lockdowns' and 15-minute cities.
