I find this topic a lot more stressful than most others. Roy Hodgson’s current tactics one of the few exceptions. More broadly, I like exposing myself to a lot of the right wing opinion on here - it’s not something I run into much in my ‘real’ life being a 30 year old Londoner, and it helps me to challenge and better understand my own views on things. I get that...it's mentally productive in its own way.

dialogue is always good. I would describe much of my politics to be Thatcherite/Anne Widdicombe/and Old school Conservative. However, i try to avoid opinion and to argue with facts. Whenever possible. the left & right can either compromise or fight. Compromise is far nicer than watching the BNP & Antifa getting ugly.

Full apologies PV, I just made myself laugh there and couldn't help it!!

Can you example a few right wing opinions ?

Some is so established as to now be regarded as fact. When it explains observable events, as it is now with climate change, and is supported by copious data gather by independent teams all around the world and computer modelling more powerful than all the brains on the HOL combined, you can be confident that it is correct.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

The same with left wing views; I’m not going to sit here typing out essays on the entire right v left spectrum of opinions - I’ve no idea what you think that would prove. My opinions on most topics can be found somewhere on Hol if you’re really interested. I will say that I find your version of right wing politics, formed almost entirely by whatever narrative Murdoch has pushed over the decades, with next to no nuance or care for detail, to be the least convincing of any, and in fact quite damaging to genuinely convincing right wing arguments, of which there are plenty.

Often technological advancement allows us to make new observations and refine a theory, as happened with the electron example, but this has become less and less frequent over time with less new things to discover. I’d also highlight that it wasn’t Phil and Barry down the pub who thought they understood electron behaviour better than qualified scientists, as seems to be the case with climate change.

OK Wisbech. You worry about global warming and I will enjoy the milder Winters and the hot Summers. You are very selective when choosing what to worry about. You don't care much about the destruction of culture, overcrowding, housing shortages, water shortages street crime, casual murder, organised crime, peadophile gangs, Islamic fruitcakes, sectarianism, misuse of the law, the increasing replacement of the British tribe, the leftist takeover of media or even the constraint of free speech, but the weather is a real concern for you.

I'm sure they said that about the 18th century back then. Firstly, not all scientists agree with the extent of man made climate change or the mechanisms that make it happen. More to the point, even if the worst case scinario is correct, there is nothing we can do to stop developing countries from wishing to develop further. It is a bit rich for the industrial nations who have polluted the world for decades to tell others they have to make do with a horse and cart. There is also no point in trying to pretend that the world can sustain its current level of growth by building a few wind farms and driving electric cars. This is all nonsense. The fact is that the human population is about to outgrow the limits of Earth's ability to sustain it. The worst example of using the environment to screw people is Kahn's ULEZ bulls***. It's all just to make money and has next to no effect on air quality. Stop them cutting down rainforests, over fishing and polluting the seas. Tell the Chinese to stop building coal power stations and then just maybe have the cheeek to tell me I need to replace my boiler with a heat pump or we will all cook to death.
