The comments of Natalie Bennett of the Green Party are the comments of what Stalin used to call “useful fools”.

Dr Alf may recall the comments of Caroline Lucas and people like the so-called environmentalist George Monbiot?

The common thread through all of them is the idea that we can have “localism” which creates dis-economies of scale, that we can keep a population of 70 million people in work, house them all and provide work for them all without competing on the world stage, without being competitive, without increasing our productivity and without building roads, nuclear power stations, fracking or making any hard choices.
