tomo 2:50 it never was about Global Warming

see Wikipedia "Brandt Report" written in 1980

extract:

"The Brandt Report suggests primarily that a great chasm in standard of living exists along the North-South divide and there should therefore be a large transfer of resources from developed to developing countries. The countries North of the divide are extremely wealthy due to their successful trade in manufactured goods, whereas the countries South of the divide suffer poverty due to their trade in intermediate goods, where the export incomes are low.

The Brandt Commission envisaged a new kind of global security. It built its arguments on a pluralist perspective that combines several social, economic and political perils together with classical military perils."

What have I missed? Global Warming armed the UN with economics, to become a weapon of mass equalisation.

Only a hundred days to save climate science

ACK: You tell us of your left-leaning tendencies while also telling us that we should abjure left/right labels. You then go on to smear Trump by repeating the myth that he accepts the support of the KKK - when he is on record as not accepting. That said, it is also a fact that Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon Will Quigg Endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. Now, I guess she did not welcome that endorsement but it would be easy - and lazy - to characterise her as a KKK sympathiser.

And, you know, I never figured you for someone who liked to go low. Guess I was wrong.

ACK, UKIP has attracted some from the far right. But the BBC/Guardian tried to brand anybody who supported UKIP or BREXIT as being racist extremists, and their opinions must be reversed annulled etc. Clearly the BBC/Guardian only approve of Democracy, when they get their own way, which is a bit Fascist, or is it Communist?

Meanwhile the Labour Party is controlled by Momentum, and the UK electorate don't trust Momentum with the rather extreme views held by some of their more violent and repugnant demonstrators of hatred. Momentum are targeting those Labour MPs considered not hard enough. Picking on "soft" targets, the weak and vulnerable is another classic trait of Fascists, isn't it?

Left and right are no longer relevant. Many of the policies that might be assigned as left or right appeal to or repell people from both sides. You can't divide it strictly by rich vs poor or highly educated vs non. City dweller vs country. Old or young. Those that make the most noise are not necessarily the voice of the majority. With all the information we are bombarded with and the increasing quantities we seek out ourselves, we and to choose a side based on what we think, not on what we are told we should think. It makes politicians very confused.
