I call them hypocrites

IT’S true that conservationists are anti-human (Mail) and they’re also hypocritical. They want secure, warm, well-fed lives, with high incomes, from usually unproductive, tax-funded jobs, with fast, easy travel to anywhere they choose in the world, while continually attacking the industries that give them all this.

Their perpetual scaremongering is used as an excuse by irresponsible politicians and officials to shut down industries in Britain, imposing ever greater taxes/regulations that add hugely to energy and other costs that are making wealth-creating industries like steel hopelessly uncompetitive for home and export trade.

Food production is also ending very fast, because of an ever-growing mass of fanatically enforced regulations that are being used to make fishing and farming — especially with animals — uneconomic and too much worry to try carrying on.

When home production ends, food prices will rocket as foreign suppliers will be able to charge anything they like — and will. C. V. CAteAuX, Goodwick, Pembs.
