The Social Market Foundation has carried out a survey on public attitudes to Net Zero and concluded that the "uninformed" and reluctant public are the problem. Why else would they say no to heat pumps?

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1It was great to see your refreshing unbiased view of the world. I have to agree with you after seeing the same pictures as everyone else in the free world, brought to us by those icons of truth, CNN, Royal United Service and friends.
I agree that the Saddam regime has more or less collapsed. However, the resistance that will continue does not simply consist of arab mercenaries or Ba'ath party nazis. It consists of arab and muslim people proud of their land and sick to the guts of being subjugated by familiar (Saddam) or foreign (US/K) military forces.
Confront yourself with the prospect of clearing the whole city and not just one junction.
Confront yourself with the prospect of a long occupation and call the war over.
When I see the end of this war I'll know it and it ain't a few looters cheering an American tank pulling down yet another statue for the cameras while ducking RPG and small arms fire.
THEY ARE JUST DESPERATE TO AVOID THE PUBLIC OUTCRY AGAINST THIER RECENT WAR CRIMES
Some people have such a deeply ingrained and biased view of the world that even when confronted with obvious and definitive evidence they refuse to believe it. The author is clearly one of those people.
It's kind of sad really.
Even if you strip away all the media BS it's blindingly obvious that the Iraqi regime has collapsed. Ordinary Iraqis are not prepared to die for Saddam. What resistance is left consists of Arab Mercenaries and Ba'atth party fascists who will be lynched by the locals if the Marines don't get them first.
Glen.
Cigarettes and candy bars are nice. If you have dark skin go to baghdad now. Free handouts available.
But seriously, though, if fifteen people in Baghdad act liberated, that means it must have been worth killing a thousand civilians and untold conscripts, right?
And it makes perfect sense to kill another few thousand to liberate another ten, or so, right?
Please line up now for libeation. But remember, you _must_ have dark skin, OK? Now waspies allowed. Sorry. Get in line, now.
