Do you remember that awful pathetic law issued by that evil king Charles II taxing the chimneys in the UK? It is one of the most ridiculed taxes in the history of the world, yet now here we are back into the stone age with ridiculous taxes. They say that this tax is going to help with global warming. How the heck can ANY tax help with that? What exactly are they going to use the money to combat the global warming? Are they going to send money into the Sun? Bribe it to not be so Hot?
What they want to do is to create mass veganism. Mass vegetarians but you know what? Let them do that, who cares? Let them commit suicide, this is great for Russia and all other opposing factions so yes UK please go ahead an forcefully turn everyone into vegetarians.
After the UK’s government climate change advisers urged it to implement policy to reduce meat and dairy consumption, Boris Johnson’s hand-picked food strategy planner reportedly says a meat tax “may be necessary” in the future.
Restaurateur Henry Dimbleby, chosen to lead Downing Street’s ‘National Food Strategy’ formulation body, believes that a levy on processed meat staples like burgers, steaks, ham, sausages, and chicken nuggets could be needed in order to tackle climate change, according to media reports.
However, Dimblebly is expected to tell the prime minister not to introduce any such tax in the short-term because of the potential unrest it could lead to during the pandemic, according to The Sun.
Citing unnamed sources familiar with a draft document due to be released next month, the paper noted that ministers fear street protests over food prices similar to those conducted by the ‘Gilets Jaunes’ (Yellow Vest) movement in France in recent years.
The sources also reportedly said the document was “still a work in progress,” but did not dispute that it would recommend making some meats pricier.
When the prospect of a meat tax was raised earlier this year, Johnson said there would be no such levy on his watch – despite clinging to his stated green agenda goal to make the country carbon neutral by 2050.
In April, Johnson committed to reducing the UK’s greenhouse emissions by 78% by 2035. This would reportedly require convincing the public to cut down meat and dairy intake by a fifth.
The average daily red meat consumption in the UK is 70g per person, according to the National Health Service, which also notes that a breakfast containing two typical British sausages and two bacon rashers is equivalent to 130g.
But the government’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) panel recommended this week that public consumption of meat and dairy needed to be reduced, for personal health as well as climate change, by 20% by 2030 and 35% by 2050.
Citing this issue among a number of the government’s failings to deliver on its climate change pledges, the advisory committee called on Johnson’s to formulate and implement evidence-based policies to encourage healthier diets with clear and fixed targets.
However, the majority of social media users were against any dietary restrictions being imposed on account of climate change, with several people labelling it a “ridiculous assertion.” One said it sounded like “more ridiculous wokery.”
A number of people argued that a better alternative would be reverting back to “local, seasonal produce,” which one commenter noted would be of more benefit to the climate change fight than “churning out frankenburgers from an artificial meat factory” and shipping those globally.
Others agreed that meat consumption should be reduced in general, since the kind most people eat is “pumped full of hormones.” Describing the British diet as “poor,” one person said that besides reducing meat, there was a need to “differentiate between different systems of production.”

How many cattle livestock are required and slaughtered each and every day, almost worldwide 24/7, to cater to such joints as Burger King and McDonalds, that have shops in nigh on every big city in the world. Shut down these fast food joints, half the problem would be solved by that alone, I would think?
Hmmm … ever wonder why those “joints” sell so much beef? What do people buy it for?
Try thinking sometime. It does a mind good.
This is what you get when you get a serious case of the crazies in Government!
Stand up now and throw them out of office because they only get worse the longer they drink the government power cool aide! https://soundcloud.com/user262008952/d-day-ghosts
