Observations

Global Britain is now looking outward, forging new trade deals around the World and – as we have reported in recent days – forming important alliances with partners such as the USA and Australia.

As the UK trades more and more with the rest of the World, instead of being locked in by its previous EU membership, it is perhaps time to review which countries we are prepared to do business with, and on what scale.

The British consumer is now being asked to pay more and more for the climate change policies of the Government, and these costs look set to increase considerably in the coming few years. As the UK feels the pain of switching out of carbon-based energy generation, it is worth remembering that the UK is responsible for only 1% of the World’s emissions, despite being the World’s fifth-largest economy.

Not only is China the World’s biggest coal-fired emitter of CO2, it shows little sign of cutting back drastically and thereby imposing hugely increased costs on its consumers at home. By buying increasing quantities of goods from a country like China, the UK is in effect merely exporting its ‘carbon guilt’ abroad. Emissions don’t change, merely the source of those emissions, and the global climate remains the same or gets worse – depending on whether readers accept the whole ‘climate change’ argument.

The question marks over China are not only about pollution, and they're growing

When the atrocious human rights record of China is included, together with its total disregard for international law, and its threatening behaviour to its neighbours, at what point must the United Kingdom reassess its reliance on that country and pivot with increasing urgency away from China and towards other countries?

We predict with a high level of confidence that China’s President Xi-Jinping will fail to show up at the COP26 world summit in Glasgow next month. If the United Nations were not as infiltrated as it is by Chinese influence, criticism would be forthcoming. Instead, it falls to other world leaders to express their ‘frustration and disappointment’ at what we expect to be his no-show. Boris Johnson and Joe Biden, over to you.
