Trump's wannabee, Farage, was on the Welsh news last night discussing Reform aiming to take control of the Senedd next year. His big idea is re-industrialising South Wales by doing away with 'net zero nonsense' so we can keep having highly polluting steel production and re-open some mines. Having grown up on the edge of the coal fields and gone to school in a town in the industrial valleys as that era was coming to a close that is something that has no appeal to me. Whilst there may have been some significant damage to the economy of those areas it is a far more pleasant area to live now than when everything was caked in black dust, the rivers were polluted and lacking in life and there were clouds of smoke. I'd much rather see us become a leader in green energy production and manufacturing the technology associated with that. Yet again Reform trying to appeal to Boomers and others with a rose tinted view of a Britain that didn't really exist, who'd have thought? Still, I guess it wouldn't have much impact on Farage's rural life in Kent so why would he care?
