So we have paid Tata Steel (a great company) £500m to reduce the port Talbot workforce by 3,000 and produce steel without welsh coking coal (miners jobs anyone?). The semi anthracite welsh coal will also lose jobs, as will the infrastructure that they all supported.

3m to 8m tonnes p.a. another triumph for UK plc.

Almost everything Miliband says in his speech is false yet the Labour party delegates cheer him on. They are all mad. We have seen such madness many times in the past, e.g. as recounted by Charles Mackay in his 1841 book “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”.

Mackay famously said “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one”.

Well done David for your efforts in fighting this madness. I’m reminded of the apolitical presentation by Professor William Happer on the madness of the establishment’s demonisation of CO2, the gas of life, which he explains has negligible adverse impact on global climate but is hugely beneficial to agriculture and forestry. He ends his slideshow by calling on all who can to fight the madness. Well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2nhssPW77I&t=11s.
