Quite possibly the best election broadcast I have seen for showing up the majority of politicians of all hues for the ridiculous figures they are...if only the Greens had lampooned themselves as well!!
Bunch of idiots if they want to live in Teepees and Yurts and wash in cold water fine fuck off somewhere and do it and leave the rest of us in peace. Rant over.
Great fun. Clever too that they left out some of their vote winning policies as published in their manifesto.
First the good news: they want to protect the live music industry. Who could possibly argue with that? (But see further down if you wonder how the band and its kit is actually going to get to the venue.)
Here's a few of the Green's fantastic ideas:
Eliminate homelessness Lots of new houses Guaranteed housing for all communities Half of London to be "green space" (Question can you promise the latter if you are building more high-density housing and attracting the homeless from the rest of the UK because you have just undertaken to house them?)
Reduce traffic and pollution A London-wide road charging scheme 20mph speed limits on all TfL roads (Question. What's a TfL road? Does it include for example the A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach road?) People friendly streets Countdown signals at all major junctions and review traffic lights to ensure pedestrians and cyclists have enough time to cross. (Even when there aren't any if my experience is anything to go by.) Oppose all road and airport expansion and put together proposals for City Airport to be closed Reduce traffic pollution. (Question: quite how you do that when every car, truck, taxi and bus is sitting in stationary traffic waiting for non-existent pedestrians to cross the road) No construction traffic in rush hour periods (Question: so, your delivery lorry gets held up in an overnight diversion on the M1 and arrives late - where is it going to park while it waits for the rush hour traffic to go away?)
Reduce fares on public transport. (Question: who pays for that?)
We will ensure that smaller firms and co-operatives, alongside creative venues and businesses, receive the support they need to flourish. (Question: what small company is going to set itself up to operate in London when the Green Party won't let them move goods and services around by road in an economic manner?)
They will fight for a living wage (I'm sure all the small businesses they'll be attracting will be over the moon about that.)
Create at least 150,000 high-quality apprenticeships aimed at young people under 25, all paying at least the London Living Wage and with half a day’s off-the-job learning per week. (Question: who pays for that?)
Create a Bank for London specifically tasked with providing loans and finance to small businesses. (Question: when we've already got in excess of 500 banks operating in London, do we really, really, really need another one.)
Now strangely the manifesto is silent on budgetary matters or on how any of this gets paid for. Anybody any ideas?
Here's a plea to Londoners. Please don't vote for these fuckwits unless you want to participate in the destruction of your City.
Yes keston unique, unworkable, expensive (you will only be able to use your car in your drive) and mindblowingly dumb be careful what you wish for after all a nuclear attack would be "unique" as well but I am guessing you wouldn't want that? If this lot get in London will be a ghost town as anyone with any sense will up and leave, me included.
They are a bunch of treehugging, spaced out morons who's attachment to anything based on reality is so tenuous you can barely see it. The idea that you can tax technology out of existance is childish and naive.

Take me fucking ages to go on my skiing holidays with Tarquin to Geneva and my business trips to Switzerland and Jersey if I have to get the chauffeur to dust off the Range Rover to take me to Gatwick.
The thing about these greens is they just live in a different world.

Be nice to have something really "unique" for a change.

As you can tell I am not a fan.
However someone ironic they've gone down this route of grown up politics when their policies are those of an idealist 15 year old
