Clameur de Haro was, like very many people, horrified this week to read the details of the appalling murders committed by a schizophrenic psychopath, the last after having been released – as a result of a long litany of failings by psychiatric and social services – to live in the community as an outpatient, despite previous convictions for murder.
It’s noticeable from this and other cases - nearly 30 in the 10 years to 2007 - of convicted killers released from jail who have then gone on to kill again, that a significant factor in the eagerness to release was the intolerable violation of the human rights of one person judged to be perpetrated by keeping him incarcerated, just to protect the public from the mere off-chance that he might kill again. A classic world-view, in fact, of the Gramscian cultural left.
Yet many of that self-same Gramscian cultural left are among the most ardent proselytizers of the fundamentally illiberal, authoritarian socialism-by-another-name, policy prescriptions of the Green religion, who harbour no qualms at all about imposing, on billions of people, the most drastic restrictions and penalties on individual freedom, economic liberty, and human advancement, ever seen, just to protect the planet from the mere off-chance that their increasingly discredited and desperate predictions of impending climate apocalypse might turn out to be one-percent true.
A curious inconsistency indeed……or, given that both policies necessitate the subjection of the majority to the views of the unrepresentative minority, possibly not………

Bonkers squared! You remind me of the mother of an old girfriend of mine. Referring to tasty recipes, she used to say "once you've found a real winner, stick with it." It was incredibly annoying. I see you are applying the same principle to your blog entries, except that your climate change criticism recipe is tasteless, discredited rubbish.
Run back to your blogs, like "What's up with that," for solace and comfortable convenient lies and misdirection.
The denialist movement is vastly smaller than you imagine - it is just a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing yet, sadly, it continues to twist minds right, left and centre.
I can't believe you're STILL promoting "The Great Global Warming Swindle" in your side bar - have you no shame?
