File under "Bears shit in the woods" - Dr Who luvvie hates the Tories. Put together a potty, unneccessary EU directive abour air quality, an EU-fanatical greenie nutter like Tim Yeo, and the BBC, and what do you get? A well-tried formula of alarmism warning us that unless we stop keeping ourselves warm with nasty power stations, refrain from using petrol, and wind down our industrial base completely, we're all gonna die. One thing missing from the equation? Recent peer-reviewed research that shows that all the scare stories about air-borne pollutants should be taken with a huge pinch of salt, and that claims of massive death tolls from the type of matter involved in the EU directive are abject nonsense. But that, of course, can't be mentioned because it would spoilt the political agenda; the boys and girls at the BBC want to send us all back to the greenie idyll of the stone age.
Carrying on a long tradition

Becoming part of the Dr Who team must be similar to joining The People's Front of Judea:
"Can I join Dr Who?"
"No. Piss off."
"But I hate the Tories as much as anybody."
"Are you sure?"
"Oh, dead sure. I hate the Tories already."
"Listen, if you wanted to join Dr Who, you'd have to really hate the Tories."
"I do."
"Oh yeah? How much?"
"A lot!"
(Pause) "Right. You're in. But first, we might have another little job for you. How d'you fancy writing an episode of Basil Brush?"HOT AIR (AGAIN)
Oh, and build thousands of wind farms to replace the pollutant-belching fossil-fuel power stations. Ignoring completely the fact that they are hugely expensive, subsidy-guzzling monstrosities that don't work.
Update: apologies, but this last link didn't work when the blog was first posted, but it should do now.
