SIR – The United Kingdom emits about 1 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases, yet we are mandated to provide “world leadership” in reducing carbon emissions.
To achieve these targets (politically arrived at), we are told we will have to heat our homes expensively, to travel less – and if we do, expensively. We are also told what to drive and now what to eat, all accompanied by higher taxes.
We won’t save the planet, but the control freaks will have won.

At the apex of the cold war the extreme sense of paranoia had found its breeding ground amongst Malta’s most conservative echelons. Clergymen, Azzjoni Kattolika and MUSEUM had mobilised women and children, some of whom were carrying banners and sticks. After every meeting women known as tal-Parfum took to the streets to disinfect the area where the labourites had convened.
