Living in fantasy land



Ed Miliband 'not telling Brits truth' and 'living in fantasy land' over Net Zero

A leading authority on UK energy production has slammed the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband for "not telling the truth" to the British public over Net Zero and that he is living in a "fantasy land". The damning verdict on the Labour Cabinet Member came from Former Chief Executive of Energy UK, Angela Knight, who launching a searing attack on Mr Miliband and what she called "fanatics" around him.

Speaking to GB News, Ms Knight criticised Mr Miliband's Net Zero plans for British energy production and said: "I often think that either he lives in complete sort of cloud cuckoo fantasy land of fanatics, or he actually is knowing that in many respects he is not really telling the people of this country the truth."


Whatever goes off inside Weird Ed's head, what matters to the rest of us is the behaviour he exhibits as a political actor. As Angela Knight says, his political behaviour is that of a man living his life in a cloud cuckoo fantasy land of fanatics. It's not new though, the damage has been fermenting and festering away for a long time.


Charmin’ people, but very what d’you call it ‘fin de siècle’ — like all these professors, these artistic pigs — seem to know rather a queer set, advanced people, and all that sort of cuckoo, always talkin’ about the poor, and societies, and new religions, and that kind of thing.”

Where is that strong opposition when we need one?

Jannie - nowhere at the moment. We need sensible voters too.

Everyone else in the government comes across as a cynical liar. I actually feel a bit sorry for Ed, because he's the only one who seems sincere in his beliefs. A nasty toad, to be sure, but deep down he seems to be genuinely deluded. If there were a violent revolution, he should be allowed to live out his days on a cold windswept Highland croft rather than being hanged.

We ate our first strawbs from the garden today and you ask me to worry about a twerp who couldn't out-muscle a bacon sandwich. Pah!

Sam - I tend to agree, although I don't feel sorry for him. A nutter who can't venture beyond his ideology, but he's also comfortable within the ideology and supported by liars, crooks and charlatans. He'd have to be extraordinarily obtuse to miss at least a whiff of doubt, but I don't think he has missed it entirely.

dearieme - we don't grow them, but we had some supermarket ones yesterday which were pretty good.

Unfortunately the cuckoo has laid his eggs in the nest of another bird - who does not yet realise they have been duped.

DJ - let's hope he suffers a quick nest exit administered by the adults - if there are any.

This is what happens when the idiot son of a Marxist academic is given a shed load of taxpayer's money and told to go and spend it. He reminds me of my 9 year old grandson who insists on spending his pocket money on Minecraft, though at least, he's not ruining the countryside, unlike Moribund.I

Penseivat - your grandson spending money on Minecraft reminds me of our granddaughter spending hers on a special unicorn in some computer game. Yes, Ed should never have been able to hose taxpayer's money at bent projects all over the countryside. Minecraft would suit him better.
