This post is adapted from a recent Twitter thread, based on a Telegraph article, in which it is suggested: Police may have to enforce strict  environmental laws as part of Government's ambitious Green agenda Ambitious climate change targets set by the Government will...

Earlier this month, I debated Extinction Rebellion co-founder, Roger Hallam on Darren Grimes' Youtube show, Reasoned. If you don't know Darren yet, you should. He started a Brexit campaign for young people and students, and drew the intense ire of the anti-Brexit...
