Whoops!

Fuck me:

A former chief scientific advisor to the government has said that EU renewable-energy quotas will cause widespread fuel poverty. Sir David King believes that European heads of state, in agreeing the targets, may have mistaken electricity usage for total energy consumption - leading to overly ambitious and expensive goals being set.


Er, what?

King believes that the EU heads of state may only have meant to sign up to 20 per cent of electricity being renewable, not 20 per cent of all energy used.


So what you're saying is that because some unaccountable Eurocrats weren't paying attention, millions of British people are going to slip into absolute poverty and all of us are going to be poorer?

We are SO fucked in this country.

Vote Libertarian and leave the Eurocrats to fuck up their own countries.

This has been the theme of the EU Referrendum for some weeks now; I have been stocking up on windup torches, lanterns and wooly jumpers.
