Poppycock or Worse than we thought | Digging in the Clay

Isn’t it funny what has changed in thirty years since Dr Bellamy was an active campaigner. Now society has gone all politically correct. We have activists who have become more extreme but at the same time it is now PC (and the done thing) to support the environment. In fact things have gone so far that voicing a contrary opinion on environmental issues has become ‘wrong’, even when you are right. It’s just as well some like David Bellamy still have principles.
