“ The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes. ”
For most normal people, politics is a distant, occasionally irritating fog.
~ Tony Blair
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Our tolerance is part of what makes Britain Britain. So conform to it, or don't come here.
The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace, if not always diplomatically.
