In Germany it’s called the Energiewende, or Energy Wand as waved by the climate change fairy, lunatic Merkel. After more than twenty years, hundreds of billions of €uro, 30 000 wind machines, hundreds of thousands of Germans disconnected for non-payment of bills, Germany is building coal-fired and gas-fired power stations ‘temporarily’. In Britain there has been a house insulation programme since the early 1970s and the various Middle East oil crises. All new homes have been built to high standards of insulation. If 19 million homes still need insulation, after 50 years... do I need to finish? Botched insulation in homes has led to many houses suffering from moulds and fungi due to condensation from insufficient ventilation of wall cavities and living space. Not only will UK need more power stations but a massive grid upgrade to carry the extra load and distribute it to those tens of millions of EV chargers and heat pumps. 15 000 more doctors - what about the resources the increased patient throughput will require, like more nurses, porters, beds, etc? It’s like hiring 15 000 more bus drivers without considering what they will drive. The GP shortage is easily explained. In the drive for the ubiquitous equality thing, it was ‘essential’ to hire more women GPs. Achieved. 50% now women. Contrary to popular belief, women have wombs. So nearly 50% of GPs are absent having babies or rearing children, looking after sick kids, in school holidays, working part time, not able/willing to take on out of hours duty because of family commitments. Also most women are up to ten years younger than husband. Many women retire when their husband does particularly if he has a good pension and they too can take early retirement with a good pension - as GPs can. Of course nobody could possibly have imagined a large female work force means large scale absenteeism due to having and raising children... could they? So recruitment is not the problem, it’s political and ideological aims placed ahead of practical requirements. Time to get rid of Government. That would result in chaos? And what is it now?
