Our Freebie Führer: “Athoritarianism on Steroids”

Sep 19, 2024 | Independent Peer Baroness Claire Fox joins Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer to discuss the most pressing issues of the day. Baroness slams the Government for being "incapable" of understanding how ordinary people feel about issues like immigration, riots, and the winter fuel allowance, saying: “They got no political instincts!”

Aren’t we all sick to death by now of hearing about climate change, the green agenda, Net Zero, global warming, etc.? I do not deny that the planet is becoming warmer, but the big question is this: Can we do anything meaningful about it, especially at a price we can afford? And please don’t even get me started on that ridiculous word “sustainable”! Further, where the hell would we be without that tired cliché ‘smart’? Everything these days must be “smart”. We need smartphones, smart apps, smart thinking, smart food, smart cars, etc. Be smart, smart, smart! But how smart are we really? We see more obesity than we have ever seen, we see more slothful behaviour than we have ever seen, people in general are more badly dressed than they have ever been, and they are certainly more badly spoken. So, pray tell, how “smart” are we really? It seems to me that in our quest for ‘smartness’, we have become as dumb as a box of rocks! – © Mark Alexander
