Wasn’t it a little suspicious that Boris Johnson got pushed
out of the leadership race, only for the pusher to be voted out by the Parliamentary
party and the inexperienced Johnson given a senior ministerial brief? Wasn’t
it a little suspicious that Andrea Leadsom inexplicably pulled out of the final
contest, thus putting Mrs May into Number 10 without her first having to go
through a ballot of Tory members? And then – surprise, surprise – Mrs Leadsom is
also given a ministerial brief, even though she, too, has little experience of
government. Isn’t it a little suspicious that Mrs May has now disbanded the
department dealing with climate change, and its function transferred to that
dealing with business initiative? Let’s ask which sector has been the biggest
enemy of action to address climate change ever since climate change became an
issue? The big business sector has. And all this just as Britain
prepares to leave the EU, after which it will no longer be subject to EU
regulations.
And here’s another uncomfortable thought: Before Brexit, Noam
Chomsky warned that if Britain
left the EU it would come more under the influence of America. So
which major power has been the most ready to drag its feet on climate change
action because it would threaten the interests of big business? Is it any
wonder that I’m curious to know just how far Monsanto’s poisoned tentacles are
capable of reaching?
So as I said, the more I see of Mrs May and the whole
suspicious business, the more I’m beginning to smell a very big and very odoriferous
rat.
