The Heathrow decision is an assault on democracy
Let’s get this straight: do I have a problem with activist judges – up to a point yes. Judges should apply the law, not find the law. BUT – in this case they are right. The government has committed the UK to the Paris accords. I am sure that nobody in the British political class ever took this commitment seriously. Another empty piece of paper that is being signed in order to sell the gullible masses that things are being done while in reality, they knew from the outset that they would keep fudging things. The honest thing would have been to stand up and say that the Paris accords are incompatible with the requirements of modern life. They should have told the electorate that if they want Paris, they would have to tone it down drastically. But they never do that …
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
