 Good evening everyone. Welcome to my final policy review of the 2020 manifesto. I haven't gone through every part of it and the reason I'm going to stop at this one is because we're going to as a party change the manifesto over the summer. I have a listen out from my podcast this weekend, it's just myself this weekend, but I want to talk you through the new manifesto, how I want you to contribute to it. I will be issuing questions, but I also want you to contact me. I can't possibly know what your experiences have been and we all have different experiences. So I want you to tell me things that you've experienced that are wrong that you think we can improve and the ideas that you have for improving them. I want us to have we already have a completely unique manifesto. I want to be our identity as we go forward and absolutely a manifesto that that is so good that it shocks people. And we've we had an email this weekend from somebody who basically told us just that. So do contribute over the summer and listen to my podcast at the weekend. I'll tell you exactly how we're going to move this on. Okay. So last issue is energy and the environment. Now I wrote most of this manifesto, but I didn't write all of it. This section was written for us by a very kind think tank in Canada. And they are supportive of us and ideologically aligned with us and expert in this. And they produce this part of the manifesto for us. But before I go through it, I want to say a couple of things about this issue. And it's one that I've come to care very deeply about. And it's one that has as I've learned about it surprised me. I'm glad I've sort of been awakened to this. It's been something of an awakening, one of many that I've had politically over the last 10 or more years. And it's let's separate, let's separate first of all the hysteria from what we ought really to be concerned about. Now the hysteria is around what is a left wing movement. And as with all left wing movements, its ultimate aim is destruction. Its ultimate aim is the destruction of how we do things now, and to replace it with how they think we should do things. It is to bring down democracy, to bring down capitalism, to bring down the rich. And that is what always drives left wing movements. And the climate change movement is no different. The change, the disruption of the current global economy for example is forefront of this. Bringing down oil companies, large global companies like that is very much at the forefront of it. But what the left wing climate change hysteria doesn't seem to realise is that actually big money is involved in the business, the industry that has developed around their campaigning. There is huge industry in building massive solar fields for example. They don't work. There is a huge industry around these appalling bird killing machine, wind farms that also don't work. The climate change pretending to be green and environmental lobby is not actually looking for clean energy sources such as nuclear. It is looking to change and transform the economy, the energy, the global energy economy. And big business, much big business has gotten in on this. And there's a good movie produced by Michael Moore of all people. Do watch it. It reveals, I'll put a link to it, it reveals the truth behind the climate change industry, the industry that is growing up around climate change campaigning. It is a extreme left, far left movement. And because it is, it has the support of the mainstream press. Because it has the support of the mainstream press, it's making politicians jump around almost like puppets on a string as so many particularly politicians in Europe and in Britain, particularly in Britain in fact, are puppets on the media's string. And the media will get behind any left wing campaign group, whatever the reality is, if its aim is to bring down Western society and change the global economy, then the mainstream press will get behind it, as will the open border, utopian lefties. It really is a toxic mixture. And speaking of toxic mixtures, what is going on in the United States, the rioting that is happening in the United States is also an extreme left movement, nothing at all to do with police brutality, nothing at all to do with racial crime. And if the protesters in London really want to protest racist abuse by the police, then I wonder where they are every time it is revealed that police turned a blind eye to the gang rape of young girls because they were white and their attackers weren't. That's real racial abuse, that's a real racial crime with the police looking the other way, not a word of protest then in London from this nasty little group or any of their comrades, the nasty little group being Black Lives Matter. Same in America, what they want is to bring down the American administration no less than remove an elected government. It's got nothing to do, certainly got nothing to do with race-based crime because Black on white crime in the United States is far, far higher than vice versa. The far left make no mistake about it, the far left is on the march literally, and it is making Western governments jump to its tune. Boris Johnson even went out of his way to say how racism didn't belong in any society. Well you may agree with that and most decent people would, but what he ought to have done is point out that racism goes in all directions, that white people are the victims of racism, there is no disproportionate mistreatment of Black people in this country and we are tired of hearing it. There is racial division, yes and it's been stirred up by the likes of Black Lives Matter and the left-wing lying press which pushes any radical anti-Western agenda it finds. That's the reality of the matter and Boris Johnson or some Western leader ought to have the courage to say so but they don't, except of course Mr Trump who the Liberal Democrats are now demanding Boris Johnson condemn, turn on our closest ally over a lie and a sham whipped up by the toxic media, that's what the Lib Dems want and that's why they'll never be taken seriously again, it's of course what Labour want as well and also why they'll never be in government again. But getting back to energy and the environment, well like I say these so-called environmental groups don't actually look for clean and effective ways of generating energy, they look for ineffective ways of generating energy and being stupid as they are, they are propping up enormous businesses that they protest or they profess to protest against. We can have a useful and independent energy source and energy sources which are different from the ones we have now. We ought not to have the relationships with many of the countries that we do have energy relationships with now and we are far too dependent on other countries, we are also far too dependent on other countries you may have noticed during the coronavirus crisis, well we are still during the coronavirus crisis but we seem to be incapable of even providing basic protection clothing to our own medical staff, that's how dependent on other countries we are and wait for an upcoming speech from me on how to, what changes we need to make to our economy post coronavirus but we also need to make changes about our energy sourcing, where we source our energy from and where we get it from and to stop pandering to this sham left-wing movement that is exploiting and using children and frightening children. When I was a child it was the ozone layer and we were all going to die soon then too, they are literally telling children that we are all going to die soon and that's this much younger than her age, Greta Thunberg at the age of 11 had this pumped into her by teachers at school and we know that teachers at school, especially here in the UK or definitely here in the UK are doing exactly the same things, they are able to protest, destroy property and the police do nothing, they shut down central London and the police joined in, they're not doing much to stop propeller that things being propelled at Downing Street at the moment either, left-wing protest fine, right-wing protest I'm pretty sure social distancing rules would apply but this is a sham and it's a sham that's taxing poor people, these green taxes are also a sham. This manifesto will talk about the fact that climate changes, it changes, it always changes but what the sham climate change movement has done is mix this sham in with real concerns about our environment, about our seas, about animal welfare, about farming these are real concerns, they are not related to the sham climate change movement, plastic has revolutionised the world, it utterly changed the world, it made things far more accessible to people with less money, it raised living standards and it made us more democratic in that for that reason and I will be in my Sunday column next week, I'm going to write about how plastic changed the world but it also left us with a lot of promise waste problems and we have enormous amounts of rubbish plastic in particular flowing into our seas and another reason I know that these climate change protesters are not too concerned about actual pollution is that you won't hear them or see them protesting much against the world's largest polluter communist china, it does complain about the united states but not so much about communist china, you will also won't hear too much about the racism in china or state brutality in china, this is all reserved for capitalist united states, communist china gets a free pass and the reasons are in the the reasons are in the names I just used to describe those countries okay so like with our other policies quite long this one, like with our other policies reading of the manifesto I will read it with some but not quite so much because we'll keep these videos as short as we can so that people will watch them okay energy and environment for britain aims to develop environmental policy and legislation based on robust scientific evidence based information, imagine that, imagine building a society on evidence and not on left wing hysteria backed up by a media and enforced by politicians who are terrified of the media, imagine an evidence science based society that's the one for britain aims to build, it will aim to safeguard the quality of britain's land, air and water for the health use and enjoyment of britain's for generations to come by balancing the best conservation and restoration practices, here it's it's so simple it's so simple and this is what I was talking about the part of environmentalism we do need to care about we do need clean air we do need clean water and we do want healthy clean environments to live in which is the next line in the manifesto we want a clean environment clean air a clean countryside clean roads and clean oceans that is the basis of our vision for energy and the environment climate change is one of the biggest issues of our time at least according to the mainstream media the primary issue is the extent to which human activity in boiling coal oil and gas for example is contributing to climate change and whether this is taking us towards imminent disaster as I say I didn't actually write this but perfectly put that is the primary question and it's the primary dividing line here that's where the lie exists we may well be emitting more carbon dioxide for example into the atmosphere but let's be clear about something carbon dioxide is not a poison we are being taught or at least it's we're being allowed to think that there's something terribly awful about carbon dioxide like it should come with a danger sign on it it's this it is the source of plant life uh i.e the source of life and it's i remember as a child knowing in school that carbon dioxide was the was a source of plant life and so being confused as an adult as this sudden oh dear we have all this carbon dioxide we're producing whether or not that is contributing to climate change is the question and the manifesto goes on according to world governments the united nations and much of the world's press we have only a matter of years to turn this around or face extinction the hysteria media driven hysteria to suit to back up to lend credence to an extreme left campaign an extreme left ideology seeking to bring down the global economy and replace it with who knows what the manifesto goes on the the climate of the planet changes and that has always been the case to the extent to which humans influence this and what this means for our future is however if up for debate if debate were allowed in reality it is not the academic website the conversation for example has banned articles from anyone skeptical of mainstream of the mainstream climate change narrative and once again this is part of the alarm from from the perspective of someone who cares about debate and science and reality and and objectivity the lack of debate on this the lack of allowing debate by the usual suspects too so your alarm bells ought to be ringing universities don't allow i've i've known of people who are not allowed to speak at universities are booked and then it's cancelled people who are uh climate change realists or people who have an alternative argument to make uh to the mainstream media's climate change narrative they're not allowed to speak at universities some have been fired this is this this ought to be ringing alarm bells immediately and on the day that Greta st. Greta gave her speech at the united nations the united nations uh 500 scientists from around the world wrote to the united nations telling them this is not true the science on this is flawed it is wrong they were completely ignored nobody in the mainstream media reported on this but Greta tonnberg was given a global platform she was also given a global platform to speak about coronavirus i'm not entirely sure what her expertise are but we're talking about a younger than her age young girl and given a global platform purely because she's the right face she's white unfortunately uh but she is at least a girl uh and she is saying all the right things and she will be given a platform for that reason she is pushing the the she's a child-like character pushing being exploited to push a radical left-wing agenda and therefore the press is all over it therefore the united nations is all over it and she's given this global platform while other people are banned or ignored and we're you know anyone who questions this is labeled in the media as a climate change skeptic in other words alone so be always be wary of that as well the united kingdom is spending billions of pounds at home and abroad on the fight against climate change our government has imposed tax taxes and countless regulations claiming this will lower greenhouse gases it is subsidizing inefficient and costly green technology and restricts the crucial development of our petroleum resources we must stop sending money to developing countries to help them reduce their emissions as they only increase their energy consumption in response we must also abolish subsidies for green technologies whilst welcoming encouraging whilst encouraging private investors to develop profitable and efficient industries last uh sentence they're absolutely crucial but the point about uh using up increasing energy consumption in response is a crucial one and what you'll see in the uh michael moor movie that i will link to what you'll see is left-wingers waking up to the fact that the industry coming up around the climate change campaign is actually even more environmentally unfriendly uh than than than gas and oil they they eat the they in other words they're using up gas and oil to make these the wind farms for example use incredible uh levels of electric you know it just have a look at the movie and the reason i haven't mentioned its name is because i didn't actually intend to mention it and i can't remember its name probably shouldn't admit that but there you go i will link to it below however the uk should also invest in nature conservation and restoration now also crucial to knowing that the green lobby isn't green because they are you know you again we heard gretta talking about ecosystems at none of which none of what she said was based in reality but ecosystems we are looking at a world where you know the near extinction of species has catapulted into near extinction over the last few decades and much many of the species that we are seeing heading towards extinction our result of the not to be criticized by the left-wing agenda communist china communist china is driving the extinction and near extinction endangerment of many many species this harms ecosystems gretta what also harms ecosystems are wind farms killing birds and bats by the tens of thousands and in germany a so-called green group campaigned against protections for bird and wildlife in germany in order to build wind farms this is a i've said the word about a hundred times in this video sham it is a sham but we must indeed protect our indigenous wild species uh indigenous wild spaces species and ecosystem whilst also providing for our agricultural needs the expansion of green belts must continue to safeguard the countryside for enjoyment sport and recreation we should reduce waste that we must reduce waste and we must reduce waste in terms of the amount of plastic that we use no i'm not against plastic i'm really really not and in an upcoming column i'm going to talk in depth about plastic uh but we do have to do something it's completely unnecessary this level of plastic so incentivization for even returning as a manifesto said uh bottle depots deposit program to encourage people to return use bottles in exchange for a refund reef recycling programs must be reviewed to ensure that what is marked for recycling does not end up in landfill uh yes we do and while some local authorities are quite good at recycling others are not quite so good we need to we need to look at this because in all honesty the the you know well meaning people go out of their way to separate their rubbish uh and and to sort of clean their recyclable uh goods and go to effort trying to make a difference if that all goes to landfill anyway that's really really unfair on those people and we must look at that we must also look at but i'll go on to that in a second i think it's it's next uh it's coming up next uh as countries like china no longer accept waste from western countries we need to invest in processes and technologies to deal with existing and future waste this is really really important it needs attention what we do about our waste needs attention we must reduce it we must deal with it we find it a new more effective way of dealing with it than landfill in the short to medium term in the longer term the waste itself must be reduced we must have some we must do something we must work with big supermarkets to bring down the amount of packaging uh do we really need you can buy a product with three of three you can buy a product with three different types of plastic on it in very very many products you'll have two different types of plastic container and then are an extra wrapper is it necessary i don't think it is we've got to look seriously at this it's not a minor issue but these are the environmental issues we ought to care about not the lie of uh the climate change hysteria the despite the the despite the emergence of alternative sources of energy global demand for oil natural gas and petroleum products is increasing and these will remain the foundational energy sources in britain for decades to come that is the reality and it will stay the reality because the green uh the alternate green economy that is developing simply doesn't work perhaps that's why the greens like it so much because it will actually bring down western society the united kingdom produces approximately one million barrels per day of petroleum liquids and significant volumes of natural gas providing 300 over 300 billion in tax revenue and the creation of highly skilled jobs for britains tax and royalty revenue from this resource is vital for the government and economy therefore while britain maximizes its income from the north sea we must also invest in technological innovations in petroleum production rather than deny the industry's existence and economic importance it is this is so crucial this point and it's such an important point we've got to get better with our petroleum our gas operate we've got to get better with what we've got instead of trying to replace it with a system that simply doesn't work and with taxing people to the hills of course i mean governments love to tax but it's not so good for the people and it's particularly not good when we're talking about vital resources they're not luxuries heating your house is not a luxury having your electric on is not a luxury it's a primary responsibility of government we mustn't throw the baby and the bathwater out in order to to ponder to the extreme left new thinking is needed in furthering energy security through foreign sources canada at the united states and australia should be recognized as having a proven track record of highly ethical environmental and safe standards as well as good human rights standards in their petroleum energy industries brexit will afford Britain the opportunity to invest in relationships with those countries and to encourage new trade while ending imports from countries that do not meet these high standards including russia saudi arabia and venezuela canada in particular has the third largest oil reserves in the world with the highest global standards and is well placed to answer this demand now here is some real commitment to ethics and to environmentalism that is to do our trade to trade with countries with high standards and not with countries with low standards this is how you promote ethical and good environmental standards around the world this is it this is fantastic fantastic stuff since 2008 the united kingdom's energy policy has focused on reducing co2 emissions rather than security of supply or cost that may be my favorite sentence in the entire manifesto when the entire section of the manifesto you know absolutely you know we're wasting all our time and energy on something that simply isn't real and won't provide us with the energy we need instead instead of focusing on how to secure our independence or are certainly our lack of a lack of reliance a reduction of our reliance as as as is as where we are now and changing and securing our energy supply energy poverty is an issue in across britain resulting in upwards of 3000 deaths during some winters once again not a minor issue nuclear power is clean efficient and renewable for the carbon concerned nuclear is clean and a way of reducing the uk's carbon footprint on a large scale furthermore new reactors would create tens of thousands of jobs across the united kingdom we must support a thorough assessment process for new reactor designs and their siting through privatised power generation and liberalised electricity market britain must encourage major capital investment in nuclear energy i think all of that is fairly self-explanatory but what what an overall means to me is that we've got to look not we've got to look at a what we have now make it better not pretend we can just rid ourselves of it to to go actually cleaner if we want to go cleaner go cleaner but with reality in mind and the reality is that the the the economic the economy the industry being pushed by the left doesn't and won't work and that's precisely why they are pushing it uh additionally the high s2 high-speed rail project must be stopped and the money invested improvements to existing train and bus networks okay so on to the uh points the uh what are they called bullet points for britain will invest in britain's petroleum industry particularly the significant reserves in the north sea for a consistent and reliable domestic energy source consistent and reliable are absolutely key here open new energy supply markets to import petroleum this is what we need to do this is really what we need to do new markets new thinking new supplies invest in nuclear energy and a new funding model upgrade energy and transportation infrastructure and invest in improved energy efficiency withdraw from the paris accord and abandon unrealistic greenhouse emission reduction targets while prioritising the implementation of practical solutions to make britain's air war and water and land cleaner encourage citizens and businesses to reduce reuse and recycle waste invest in small farms while discouraging agribusiness incentivize reduction of plastic and food packaging prohibit universities from borrowing open discussion about climate change that is across the board and is covered in our education policies and all green taxes and subsidies work with the motor aerospace and process industries to develop cleaner methods of transportation and factory processing work to remove the highest polluting vehicles from our roads investigate fracking as a potential clean and efficient energy supply like most of for britain's manifesto and most of our policies what this is is new thinking confronting lies and putting the best interests of our country and our people first we must confront the lies of climate change while acknowledging and working towards a cleaner healthier environment for our people to enjoy that is our responsibility as a government and that's what environmental and energy policy does and should do okay that is the last of those from the manifesto do listen to my podcast this weekend when i'll be telling you all about the new manifesto on how you can help shape shape it uh see you on my livestream on monday take care
