145. I don't heart RenewableUK - Telegraph Blogs

Nothing definite yet, just a hunch, but any day now I reckon, I shall be on the receiving end of a lengthy litany submitted to the Press Complaints Commission by one of the most loathsomely vile and leprous organisations it has ever been my misfortune to share a country with. I refer, of course, to the wind industry's propaganda arm: RenewableUK.Why am I expecting a PCC complaint? Only because it's the kind of thing RenewableUK does, all too often, to anyone who has the temerity to tell the truth about the wind industry, which is that it's so noisome, greedy, destructive, repellant and wrong in pretty much every conceivable way that it makes the land-mine industry look about as soft and cuddly as a firm specialising in organic, ethically-sourced teddy bears for children in Great Ormond Street hospital.

146. I try to give the police the benefit of the doubt, but it's becoming harder and harder –...

One of the things that used to set the UK apart from the run of nations was the standing of its police force. The British constable was not an agent of the state, but a citizen in uniform, with no more powers than the rest of us, except in so far as those powers were contingently granted to him by a magistrate. At the recent Olympic Games, I saw plenty of overseas visitors marvelling at the easy relationship between unarmed police officers and trusting civilians.I am trying to hold on to the attitude with which I grew up: the belief that most coppers are motivated by patriotism and service, and that only scoundrels need fear them. But it is becoming harder and harder. There have been altogether too many lies: the crowd preventing emergency aid from reaching Ian Tomlinson; Jean Charles Menezes jumping the ticket barrier; the fans at Hillsborough mistreating the dead. These cover-ups made our front pages because of their awful consequences, which leaves me wondering how many lesser abuses go unreported.

147. Lefties think they're on the side of the masses. They're wrong – Telegraph Blogs

At the Oxford Union the other day, I was comprehensively outperformed by this man: Dr Cornel West. If you’ve heard him live, you’ll know that he speaks in the manner of a charismatic preacher, and that the timbre of his voice captivates almost any audience. The motion was This House would occupy Wall Street. He won.For a while, I sat there in the manner of Harold Abrahams after he loses to Eric Liddell in Chariots of Fire. But then, like Abrahams, I picked myself up and started trying to improve my performance.In private, Dr West is the gentlest and most courteous of men. In public, he is moved by righteous anger. The reason he won – the reason Occupy types generally win before student audiences – is that he successfully presented himself as a defender of ordinary people against oligarchs. This is how most Lefties think of themselves, and I don’t doubt their sincerity. The curious thing, though, is that their policies, in effect if not intention, end up privileging vested interests over the general population.

149. Knives out for Boris: Now senior Tories are plotting to crush the Mayor if he ever launches a...

Last summer fate provided jolly Boris Johnson, the ultra-ambitious, attention-seeking Tory Mayor of London, with an opportunity to demonstrate his credentials as a potential national leader. He was found curiously lacking.London was burning, with riots breaking out in 29 of the capital city’s 32 boroughs, and the overwhelmed police were being accused of not even trying to contain the unfettered violence, looting and arson that gripped the streets.And where was Boris? In a camper van up a remote mountain in the Canadian Rockies, on holiday with his family.Now nobody can blame a politician for taking time off in the summer. But Boris showed a marked reluctance to return to handle the crisis in his own backyard. Excuses were put out from City Hall to explain his absence. He was not going to ‘reward’ the rioters by dancing to their tune and rushing back, it was said. With modern communications, he could just as easily direct operations from Canada as from his office on the banks of the Thames.Few people were convinced. From David Cameron’s Downing Street — always in two minds about whether Boris is an asset or a troublemaker and a threat — came incredulity at his continued absence. His political opponents went for the jugular. Could he not at least have gone into a local TV studio in Canada and made an address to the embattled people of London from there, asked Brian Paddick, the Lib Dem challenger for his position.

151. Why the Eurozone crisis is a bigger problem for Balls than Osborne Left Watch

Ed Balls is garlanded by the Wintour and Watt double act in the Guardian today for helping to keep Britain out of the Euro: his name takes precedence in their roll of honour over Gordon Brown. (Rightly, the duo also cite John Major and William Hague; wrongly, they omit Sir James Goldsmith.) The list is a reminder of how Balls and Brown forged...

In the week of George Osborne's Autumn Statement, you might think the Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, would be able to score the open goals and publicity that Opposition politicians can usually manage. Instead, Ed Balls and his economic plans are under attack from all sides. From the left, the Shadow Cabinet and Labour insiders are trying...

153. Euro-enthusiasts can't quite hide their contempt for the masses – Telegraph Blogs

How do you get a poll to register a large majority in favour of EU membership? Easy. Confine your survey to quangocrats, charity heads, civil servants, CEOs of multi-national corporations and the like. The pro-EU lobby group, British Influence, has been trying to get people excited about its poll of “leading figures” – that is, 700 bien pensant metropolitans of whom, sure enough, 69 per cent want to stay in the EU. Indeed, the only surprise is that, of a demographic specifically selected for pro-Brussels bias, 31 per cent don't agree.

154. Passive smoking - another of the Nanny State's big lies - Telegraph Blogs

Passive smoking doesn't give you lung cancer. So says a new report publicised by the American Cancer Institute which will come as no surprise whatsoever to anyone with a shred of integrity who has looked into the origins of the great "environmental tobacco smoke" meme.It was, after all, a decade ago that the British Medical Journal, published the results of a massive, long-term survey into the effects of second-hand tobacco smoke. Between 1959 and 1989 two American researchers named James Enstrom and Geoffrey Kabat surveyed no few than 118,094 Californians. Fierce anti-smoking campaigners themselves, they began the research because they wanted to prove once and for all what a pernicious, socially damaging habit smoking was. Their research was initiated by the American Cancer Society and supported by the anti-smoking Tobacco Related Disease Research Program.At least it was at first. But then something rather embarrassing happened.

155. How Australia surrendered to the wowsers – Telegraph Blogs

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. It seems an appropriate time to reflect on what Australia was and what it has become.I said the other day what a marvellous achievement it was, the way those early generations of Aussies turned a relentless hell into a fair approximation of paradise on earth. What I see now, however, is a fair proportion of the current generation doing their damnedest to reverse the process.

156. Australia's green orchidectomy* – Telegraph Blogs

A week into my Australian tour and I already I love the country and its people so much I could happily stay here forever. (Articles like this and this and this may partly explain why.) There's just one small problem – well, one bloody big problem actually: the rampaging political correctness. How, in God's name, did the robust, no-nonsense pioneer spirit of the original settlers who carved an earthly paradise out of burning hell allow itself to be watered down, warped and wimpified by a minority of tofu-knitting greens and tight-sphinctered lefties?Let me give you one example. (Plenty more will follow, let me assure you, for Oz is the land of Political Correctness and Eco Fascism gone mad. Traditional Owners, anyone???) I've just returned from the remote Western Australian fishing port of Exmouth, point of embarkation for one of the most daring missions of the Second World War: Operation Jaywick.

157. After l'affaire Jimmy Carr, Left and Right should agree on flatter, fairer, simpler taxes...

In a speech to Politeia in 2004, Oliver Letwin, then Shadow Chancellor, made a simple but brilliant observation. The complexity of a nation’s tax system, he said, was every bit as damaging to competitiveness as the overall level of tax.It’s true. The more convoluted the tax code becomes, the more time we have to take off work to comply with it. Tolley’s Tax Handbook is now 11,500 pages long, twice what it was when Gordon Brown became Chancellor, and the number of tax lawyers has increased commensurately. There isn’t a small business in the land that doesn’t need to employ an accountant.

159. Ed Balls: Fool or Charlatan? | Roger Helmer MEP

Ed Balls is trying to get his rebuttal in first. Believing that George Osborne, in his Wednesday budget, will reduce the 50% income tax rate (either a principled move back to 40%, or perhaps a pusillanimous compromise at 45%), Balls has gone into attack mode. But his attack is not original. Indeed he is deliberately trying to trigger the heffalump trap that his mentor, Gordon Brown, left for an incoming Conservative government.Brown knew that a Conservative government would want to remove the 50% rate, both because the Conservatives (or some of them) are instinctively against high taxes, and because the economic case against this 50% rate is unassailable. As the forthcoming Treasury study will show, the 50% band collects much less tax than anticipated. Much less than a simple “static model” calculation would predict. And the economy being dynamic, not static, the amount collected will diminish over time, simply viewed as a tax band.But because it will also be a disincentive to work, and to effort, and to overtime, and investment, and business start-ups and capital accumulation, and wealth creation, it will have a still more malign effect. It will depress overall economic growth, and thus reduce tax revenue not only from the high-paid, but across the range. Income tax, VAT, corporation tax. Leave it in place for a few years, and we shall all be poorer.

160. Could Climate Change create deadly, mutant sharks which kill us all? – Telegraph Blogs

It had to happen. As if the plight of the polar bear wasn't punishment enough for our evil, selfish, refusing-to-change-our-lifestyle-because-we're-addicted-to-oil ways, it now seems that Mother Gaia may have a deadly new weapon up her sleeve: KILLER MUTANT SHARKS!!! (H/T Brown Bess)So far, admittedly, Mother Gaia is in the very earliest stages of her experimentation:Scientists said on Tuesday that they had discovered the world's first hybrid sharks in Australian waters, a potential sign the predators were adapting to cope with climate change.
