Dumb and Dumber: EU-Mandated Smart Meters Still Coming to UK...
(27 March 2015)
"Here are two words that should chill you: smart meters.

statistics to energy providers, thus allowing them to monitor
consumer usage 24-hours a day - and charge differential rates
accordingly..."

The Green Agenda
"We should all want to be wise and
careful stewards of the beautiful planet we call home. But most of
us realise that humans in general are not being good stewards. We
are wasteful with our natural resources and have reduced
biodiversity. Therefore, when we read about groups and organisations
calling for a 'green revolution' and a new relationship between
humanity and nature it is easy to agree with their ideas. However,
certain aspects of the modern green movement that is permeating
every segment of our society are not about protecting the
environment. You don't have to dig very deep to discover the true
beliefs of the influential leaders who are using genuine concerns
about the environment to promote an agenda of fear and control..."
Stop Smart
Meters! (UK)
"Stop Smart Meters (UK) is a grassroots
campaign calling for an immediate halt and reversal of the UK's
Smart Meter programme - a £12BN white elephant in the making that
will empower Big Energy at great expense to consumers. With the
prospect of ever-higher bills via 'smart' Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs
in store, the Smart Meter programme is taking some big risks with a
variety of aspects of our lives and well-being. From the sobering
implications of connecting our electricity, gas and water supplies
to the Internet - making domestic supplies available to hackers - to
documented, scientifically-validated health risks, gross privacy
violations and a capability for energy firms to remotely control our
appliances at will, the 'Smart Grid' will come to be seen as a
Trojan Horse of our time. The primary beneficiaries of Smart Meters
will be Big Energy - any promised consumer benefits will be
short-lived, illusory or dramatically overshadowed by the enormous
disadvantages. We encourage everyone to exercise their human rights
and refuse a Smart Meter when offered one. Remember, they are not
mandatory - you are lawfully entitled to refuse them. If you would
like to help other people do the same, please download and hand-out
our leaflets to your neighbours and friends - it will make a huge
difference in raising awareness about Smart Meter dangers within
your community."

Book of Eco-Fascism (2013)
"Do you believe we should bomb our
economy back to the dark ages? Carpet our beautiful countryside with
bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes? Indoctrinate our kids
with scary North Korea-style propaganda nonsense in order to deal
with the alleged perils of 'climate change'? Neither does
