ONE useful result of the national lockdown is to give us a glimpse of the future that the Greens want for all of us: swathes of commerce shut down, limited imports, people only allowed out for necessary travel and to make restricted purchases of essential items.
To get the full flavour of the Green future, you just need to stop using any gas, as they want to ban it, and switch off your electricity, as when we only have wind turbines to rely on it, it will become a luxury item.
Of course, there are two fundamental flaws in the Greens' vision: firstly, a nation has to pay its way with industry and commerce, and, secondly, it’s no fun!
