Re: Britain Green By 2030
What's in the news today? Brexit & fish. So .. we can have more fish to sell abroad? That is not going to save us.We have big opportunities far far beyond that. We can lead in green industries, the rest will follow, they have no choice. It's progress, some may fight it but they'll get left behind.
There is no denying it. And we are in the right place to do it.

We've already tried that d00d.
It's just fashion. When most of the UK population is unemployed and poverty rules, there will be big changes afoot. And it won't have anything to do with saving the planet.

From what I have read, places like the Mediterranean have been so heavily over-fished that they are trying to do the same in our waters now. That must stop or we'll find that we can't provide enough fish even for our own needs.

We have no plans to apportion various parts of Europe after we have won, as happened to Germany in 1945.
We shall have opened the doors to freedom for other EU 'member states' like Italy, Poland, Hungary, etc., and I'm sure they will be very grateful for our obtaining their freedom just like we did 70 years ago.
Also, I foresee Germany breaking away soon afterwards in order that they may still sell us their excellent cars!
You heard it first here.
