Seems the current liberal left Government, clearly being driven by the Prime Ministers piece installed in No 10 (Princess Nut Nut as DC referred to her) , is intent on turning this country into a third world basket case.
For one:
Target - Cut meat and dairy consumption by a fifth over the next decade
Impact - Someone who has meat for every three meals could only do this twice a week under the new plans.
Similarly, the average Briton would need to shave a fifth of the average milk consumption down to 16ml a day - or roughly three teaspoons.
Really?
Any chance of India or China reducing theirs or are they going to power ahead while we shot ourselves in the foot with impossible green targets?
And here is the rest:

Does ANYBODY agree with EVERYTHING on a manifesto? I always vote for the candidate I agree with most which means I invariably appear to support a policy I actually disagree with; this was true of the last election when I voted Tory but doesn't mean I support ALL their policies. Mrs Sturgeon happily states that the Scots want independence because the majority voted SNP; I wonder if a referendum will prove her right.
// Who is we? are you the spokesperson for the whole of the UK ?. //
‘We’ are the 14 million who put their cross next to a Conservative candidate at the election, giving them a huge majority of 80 seats.
One of the policies put forward by the Tories was a commitment to drastically reduce the country’s emissions.
Now they have been elected they are exercising the power we have given them to enact their pledges.

//We need to reduce overall intake of meat and dairy…//
Why do we?
//Im doing it myself now and dont see myself as a nutter, thank you very much.//
Nor should you see yourself as such and nor should anybody else. It’s what you’ve chosen to do and it is no business of anybody else. I won’t be cutting my meat or dairy from the levels I currently enjoy and I don’t want to be accused of destroying the planet. That’s my choice and I don’t want to be told what to eat (or what not to eat) – especially by the current chatelaine in 10 Downing Street.
//…almond milk.//
Liquid produced from processing nuts is not milk, danny. Milk is the liquid produced by lactating mammals. Sorry to be picky but calling plant products “milk” is a particular abhorrence for me. It’s part of the great vegetarian/vegan deception.
//The UK has been very slow at adopting Zero Emission Vehicles (electric cars).//
Electric cars are not “zero emissions”. The emissions are simply created elsewhere, mainly in the manufacture of the vehicle. The only zero emission transport is no transport at all.
//I always vote for the candidate I agree with most…//
I always vote for the one I disagree with least. In my case I voted for the party I believed was more likely to ensure a successful Brexit. Political parties usually treat their manifestos as list of policies to be abandoned as soon as they secure power. Hopefully some of these lunatic notions will go that way.

//Almond milk and other plant-based beverages function as milks.//
Indeed they do, danny. But they are not milk and should be called something else – in common with many vegetarian and vegan foods.
//you are not per se... mass industrial farming is…//
No it’s not. Unsustainable and excessive human population growth is. It is the root cause of virtually all the sustainability problems the world faces.
I've just noticed the recommended daily dose of milk (16ml). This means it would take an individual five weeks to get through a pint - quite frankly ludicrous.
