Grant Shapps, the Minister of State for Transport, yesterday opined about the "selfish" acts of the Insulate Britain protesters on a radio station.
Good God, of course! They were totally selfish to risk imprisonment and being run over by irate motorists for having the gall to protest on behalf of the estimated 40,000 a year who die each and every year from pollution and the 8,000 who die each and every year from fuel poverty. Why could I not see the selfishness before? It's plain for all to see.
What planet is this man on? Why spend a fortune on policing it when acceding to the protesters' reasonable demands would:
- Get rid of the protesters, thereby
- Eliminating the policing,
- Getting rid of the disruption that angers him so much,
- Alleviate the plight of some of the 48,000 and
- Reduce pollution and unnecessary CO2, which is (allegedly) a government priority anyway.
