Below is a very interesting discussion on net zero policies in the UK, and their absolute absurdity, on the Triggernometry Youtube channel.
What’s of particular interest is the degree to which the current, and recent, UK governments appear relatively powerless due to the ideological capture of the civil service and central bank. These seem to be limiting information to governments, after they were made ‘independent’ under the government of Tony Blair. Since their independence they appear to have been completely captured by ideological forces. Somewhat reminiscent of the institutional capture of the US after Roosevelt’s three terms in office.
I don’t think the roots of the ideological capture of public institutions in the UK in the last 25 years is generally grasped at all. Understanding this goes some way to explaining the seeming tone-deaf incompetence of recent UK governments, including the current administration.
