    The EU getting ahead of the UK again

    'Triple whammy' threatens UN action on climate change - BBC News

    the EU has so far failed to agree to a long term net zero emissions target.
    UK commits to 'net zero' emissions by 2050
    -----------------------------------------------
    So the EU gets its economy going. By the EU, of course I mean Germany who run the EU. Who have 7 of the worst poluting coal power stations in Europe.

    We need a PM who will f**k the enviroment and put the UK first.

      Indeed. The EU does have an environmental policy, but it involves fining the UK when the pollution blows over from Germany. That's nice, isn't it?
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        The UK used to have a lot of coal fired power stations, in fact coal was a big nationalised business, until the EU shut it down.
        That led to a lot of unemployment in Wales, because the of the EU.


        ...am I right?
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          That sounds like a Ruhr deal.

                The U.K. is in the EU. Do you see where you might have gone wrong?

                    We can all see where your parents went wrong. Remain or leave - your father really should have chosen leave.
