AFTER visiting the Green Party’s annual fair at Oxford Town Hall last week, I came away even more disillusioned, since real green policies were mostly sidelined.

Concern for wildlife and its habitat was virtually non-existent.

Also, there was no attempt to address the fundamental green issue, which is that of human overpopulation, and the party’s policy of open borders merely reflects the anthropocentric policies of the other parties that are condemning our wildlife and countryside to virtual eradication in future years.

We should bring an end to mass immigration and discourage people from having large families, rather than bestowing vast amounts of public money on those who breed irresponsibly – family allowances should be confined to one child only.

It was good to see that the Badger Trust had a stall, especially since the present government is intent on wiping out our badgers over the next 25 years.

This is being perpetrated against all scientific opinion on behalf of corrupt dairy farmers, who caused TB in their own cattle, and who now seek to scapegoat our wildlife.

Landowners of shooting estates also are keen to wipe out the species, but the biggest and most powerful threat to badgers and other creatures comes from the building industry.

Those involved make a pretence of relocating badgers by the construction of artificial earths here in Oxford and elsewhere, but this is then quietly forgotten.

In any case, such a method is hardly ever successful, although it does provide a convenient alibi.

Meanwhile, the PC brigade, headed by Lib Dem and Green councillors masquerade as caring about this and similar problems encountered by wildlife, while simultaneously sanctioning the invasion of vast numbers of people into this small island.

No amount of eco towns, eco villages, eco schools, eco landfill sites etc can disguise the fact that there is no longer any place for non-human life here, or anywhere else on this beleaguered planet.
