11. We’re paying twice for this madness. There would be no sheep on the moor if it were not for lavish subsidies, as they are highly unproductive and loss-making. Our taxes pay both for the ecological destruction and for the feeble remedy. Round and round the money goes. Pop goes the ecosystem.

Don't take it from me. Take it from the government's own assessment:
Everything Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have said about nature protection blocking house building is big fat shining lie.
A lie now being locked into legislation before Parliament.

When you think of what the US state has at its disposal, totalitarianism does not look impossible:
- Facial recognition technology
- Armed drones, that can take out marked people
- A propaganda system already enmeshed in our lives (social media)
- Militias ready to become death squads
Resist now.
