Follow Up To Meeting With MP
March 17, 2022
By Paul Homewood
A quick follow up to my meeting with our local MP last month.
I have received an encouraging letter from Craig Mackinlay, the chair of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group of MPs, who my MP promised to discuss my suggestions with.
He is particularly interested in my ideas regarding the Renewable Obligations scheme, which represents the biggest subsidy paid by energy users.
He has promised to discuss my suggestions with his colleagues.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Well done, Paul. Good that your MP has taken the issue seriously enough to make sure your stuff gets to the right place.
Fingers crossed for a sensible outcome
Good. Keep at it. We’re all in the room with you cheering you on whenever you’re talking to these people.
It’s people like yourself who make a difference Paul. Thank you
Thank you Paul. KBO
I hope Mr Mackinlay is aware that an unelected non-entity in the House of Lords has been pushing through a bill to make it easier for onshore wind developments to be approved. The Onshore Wind Bill 2021 will have its Third Reading in the Lord’s tomorrow. After it will only move to the Commons if an MP supports it. Although unlikely to succeed due to time allocated for these bills, it nonetheless demonstrates how inept and how of touch our Governmental system is.
Sponsored by Octopus I suspect. They were arguing for “red tape” to be removed from the process.
Mackinlay is one of the very few MPs who isn’t a fully paid up member of the year zero suicide squad at Westminster so this is good news. It might be useful to encourage him to have a word with his colleague, Nadine Dorries, who’s currently trying to ram the Online Safety Bill through parliament. One can easily imagine that the clause relating to big tech censorship of ‘legal but harmful’ content could easily be abused in the future to shut down sites such as this that might give the likes of comrade Hairbrain et al a fit of the vapours. Now that the eco lunatic train seems to have hit the buffers of economic reality, the desperation to shut down all criticism of our current trajectory will only increase.
Please ask him how much of my electric bill goes towards the RO scheme. Octopus ‘we can’t read your smart meter’ Energy have this evening emailed me and raised my monthly bill by another £50 on top of the £40 last month.
Do your own reading and send it in. They should allow own readings to be entered and maybe do them every week to show diligence
I agree. If you are having any trouble with a supplier then give them weekly readings until they are brought in line. With a new supplier I tend to go fortnightly until they can be relied upon.
Do look at the Public Accounts Committee’s scathing Progress report on Net Zero. It reveal that the Government’s management is utterly chaotic, public opinion is not carried; costs are unclear or not worked out; neither the civil service nor private enterprise have the skills to deliver. Net Zero. Between the lines I detected that the PAC was floundering about trying to identify what Net Zero actually IS! Join the club.
I thought Net Zero was shorthand for Economic Suicide.
Encouraging that you have found someone who will finally listen. Thank you on behalf of the rest of us.
