Boris Johnson stated that Margaret Thatcher did the climate a favour by closing the coal pits during the 1980’s. Back when the Tories took their class war to the working class north and got their revenge for what they perceived as the failings of the Heath government to tame the trade unions.
The point Boris Johnson is making is that the coal mines were dirty and detrimental to the climate. That may be the case but it certainly was not the objective of the capitalist ganglords that Thatcher spawned. Their purchasing of coal from around the world to replace the coal beneath the UK public’s feet proves that.
Not to mention the trillions made by fossil fuel corporations since, that they have been the cheerleaders of. Boris Johnson speaks to the gullible and the ignorant and feasts on these characteristics.
We only have to glance at the continued deep sea mining that government after government has helped subsidise for a classic example of his and Thatcher’s climate credentials.
We also need to remember that what the Tories publically stated about the coal mine closures was ‘a crock of shit’.
What we witnessed when Boris Johnson made the claim was propagandising of the crudest kind. Alongside that is the attempt to blind alley the Red Wall since the EU referendum and especially in the lead up to the 2019 election. He lied to them then and he is lying to them now.
Let us go back to 1995 when he wrote for the far right gutter media The Spectator.
Perhaps of course he was lying back then too to win favour with The Spectator readers but given his actions ever since I doubt it.
The Red Wall and the population of not only the UK but the world are being cheated and destroyed by people like Boris Johnson.
To fall for it is not only stupid but for many it is suicide.
