From Russia With Truth

Sirs

Are you not aware that the Russians have confirmed that the British Met Office "probably tampered with Russian climate-data"? Is this not a very serious accusation of great import to current world events?

Throughout this island there are millions of ordinary people, working in nightmarkets, fruit and vegetable stalls and convenience stores, who struggle to make ends meet and who aspire to flying abroad for a holiday once every three years or so. The global warming fantasists are working flat out not only to tax such meagre aspirations out of their hands, but to vastly increase the scope of government regulation over trade and private life more generally.

Such an increase will greatly accelerate the disintegration of civil society into a world of total politics. This is a terrifying prospect since the entire realm of politics rests upon nothing more than the controlling party's monopoly on violence.

Yours as ever,
Michael Fagan.
