AN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY FOR THE 21st CENTURY

The environment is something nationalists seem reluctant to talk about, which is disappointing given the subject’s hijacking by the Left. Perhaps it is because of the image of baggy-clothed unwashed people hugging trees that comes into people’s minds or perhaps it is down to the fact that too much Christian thinking has dominated nationalism for far too long. It is probably both. My thinking, of course, is Pagan, and therefore the condition of the countryside of these Isles has special significance to me. I wish therefore to present a comprehensive environmental policy for the British Democratic Party and other nationalist groups to consider. I do, of course, not expect the BDP to turn to Paganism; indeed I would rather they leave the subject of religion alone.

 

1.      1. Reforestation 

 

Firstly, there is nothing wrong with hugging trees, without which we all die. The desecration and destruction of our forests started with the Industrial Revolution, when many of our ancient woodlands were thrown into the fires of steam-fuelled industry without thought of replenishment. This even gets a mention at the beginning of the Tory writer Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe (1819). Over two hundred years have passed since then without thought for the consequences of this defilement. The air quality has diminished because England’s lungs have been ripped out: the great Greenwood that once stretched from South Yorkshire to Leicestershire.

 

 

 

The ULEZ tax is yet another government scam to rob the working man, and has no impact on air quality. The Labour Party also seek to continue the vandalism of what’s left of the countryside with the acquiescence of the ironically named Green Party, as they plan to build 1.5 million new homes to house the third world in Britain. The immigration policies of all the establishment parties (including Reform) represent an environmental disaster for Britain. The air is becoming thick with the fumes released by the excess populations of countries who have wantonly destroyed their own ecosystems.

 

Mass remigration will both relieve the highways and byways, reducing air pollution, but it will also leave many buildings unused, meaning the most unsightly and dilapidated can be demolished to unpave the way for parks and woodlands. This will further improve the air quality and reduce carbon dioxide (which we are told is bad and therefore should make the climate change mob happy). Properly maintained forests also provide cheap and renewable fuel for heating, building materials and homes for wildlife, as well as skilled and meaningful jobs.

 

2.    2. Refertilisation

 

The land has been cheated for a century and more due to industrial farming methods. Sadly, we have a cosmopolitan, metropolitan political caste in charge who know more about hummus than they know about humus. This must change. The Earl of Portsmouth (then Viscount Lymington) warned of the danger of using artificial fertiliser 90 years ago; it is scant replacement for dead red blood cells and vegetable matter. Although his suggestion of repurposing human faecal matter for fertiliser has since been implemented, it is not enough because of other problems. The soil now lacks its former fecundity because of the lack of dead insects and faecal matter degrading into the soil. The lack of dead insects is down to the use of chemical pesticides, which we will look at in more depth later. This has disrupted the whole food chain and decimated wildlife, hence also a lack of faecal matter.

 

Dog excrement, which is currently bagged up and thrown out to landfill, can also be repurposed as fertiliser. Instead of faeces being bagged up, disposable gloves can be provided in parks with a separate bin for pure dog excrement. The average dog produces 275lbs of excrement per year. At a low estimate of 13 million dogs in the UK, that is 1.6 million tons (which is only slightly more in metric tonnes) of faeces that can be converted into fertiliser.

 

 

 The soil can also be revitalised via the cultivation of nitrogen-rich crops, but will need to be supplemented by animal waste. Therefore, rather than reducing the amount of cattle, which is fraudulently proposed by the Bill Gateses of this world, we ought to increase their number. Eating more fresh meat, which is both filling and nutritious, instead of junk food will also reduce obesity and improve general health.

 

3.      3. Humane Husbandry

 

We all rightly despise Halal and Kosher ritual slaughter for its barbaric cruelty, yet too often ignore the inhumane conditions associated with factory or battery farming. All of it must be outlawed. Animals must be allowed a decent and comfortable life and a swift and dignified death. There is not just a moral imperative to do this, but practical ones: sickly animals produce poor meat. Grassy orchards with grazing livestock is the way forward, for animal dung also replenishes the soil, as we have noted.

 

4.    4. Organic Farming

 

If this all seems like organic farming, it is because it is. All farming ought to be organic farming. GMOs must be forbidden until adequate studies have been conducted on the long-term health and environmental impacts such crops have. Let us be clear: organic farming does not mean farming without machines. The tractor, the combine harvester and the milking machine are all indispensable labour-saving devices; but there are certain practices that need to be dispensed with, even outlawed. 

 

The greatest of these evils is the use of pesticides. Pesticides are another reason for long-term health problems such as respiratory illnesses, neurological diseases, cancers, infertility and reproductive disfunction, and hormonal problems. Pesticides remain in the air after crop spraying and their residue is found in the food we eat.

 

 

 

There are other more natural pesticides, the chief of these being birds. Over the last five decades the farmland bird population of Britain has fallen by over 60%. I have noticed it. When I was a boy, the sky was alive with flocks of birds. They are now conspicuous by their absence. Birds deal with weed seeds and caterpillar infestations, while ladybirds and other beetles are excellent at combatting greenfly, whitefly and blackfly. There are also plant-based sprays that are now widely available for these and other pests. Of course, natural pesticides are not quite as effective as unnatural ones. But as more produce will be grown on the increased farmland created by mass remigration, it will offset the higher percentage of crops lost to pests.

 

5.      5. Reduction of Plastic Packaging

 

The political caste and supermarket directors tell us we must pay for plastic bags because they are bad for the environment, yet meat bought off the shelves and at the deli is all packaged in plastic! And since when has paying more for a practice stopped the practice itself? As mentioned above, the ULEZ is not designed to reduce pollution, but to reduce the wealth of the working man. Similarly so with the plastic bag scam.

 

While plastic packaging is necessary for certain things, the practice of packaging fresh foodstuffs and drinks needs stopping, for the countryside is littered with non-biodegradable detritus. Equally, people are consuming ever more microplastics that clog the arteries, and the University of California concluded in a study that exposure to microplastics is suspected to harm reproductive, digestive and respiratory health, and suggested a link to colon and lung cancer.

 

 

 

The fact is that much plastic packaging is an evil that can easily be dispensed with. The growth of forests means we can go back to wrapping fresh foodstuffs in paper. We can even go back to fish and chips in old newspapers! Bottles can return to glass, as they once were, which is recyclable. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the political caste has instituted criminal negligence, recklessness and irresponsibility, and spot fines would have to be imposed on people deliberately breaking glass bottles in public areas.

 

The waste from necessary plastics can also be repurposed harmlessly instead of being shovelled into landfills, or worse still thrown into hedgerows. Wall insulation is one solution that is gaining ground. A nationalist government would issue grants to companies engaged in research and development for plastic waste repurposing or else create its own organism dedicated to it.

 

6.      6. The Seas and Waterways

 

The seas are in an appalling condition thanks to industrial pollution and overfishing. Pollution can easily be stopped via heavy fines on companies fouling the waters (that goes for the rivers etc. too), as well as legal prosecutions of directors and forced closures if necessary. In the 1990s, before the coming of Blair, and thanks largely to the petitions of and licence and permit fees paid by anglers, we had the cleanest waterways in Europe. This can be so again.

 

Rivers must be regularly dredged as they once were to prevent flooding. The current thought is that dredging does not reduce flooding, and even creates flooding, but this is patent nonsense. The reason dredging no longer works is that it is no longer done consistently the full length of a river, which creates bottlenecks and irregular water flows. 

 

Equally unhelpful is the fact that flood plains have been built on. Natural marshes and wetlands have disappeared along with their attendant wildlife. Mass remigration will again be the force that will recreate the space necessary for the re-establishment of our flood plains and ecosystems. 

 

 

 

Fish stocks can easily be replenished via the creation of fisheries along Britain’s coasts, which will create jobs for those left unemployed by the decline of the fishing industry. Equally, the use of micromesh nets and bottom-towed trawling gear must be permanently prohibited in ALL British seas for the ecosystem to recover and thrive. 

 

The British seas are also an underdeveloped source of energy. We can rid ourselves of the unsightly, dangerous and inefficient wind turbines by replacing them with undersea tidal stream generators to harness the power of the North Atlantic Drift. A wind turbine has an average energy output of 6GWh per year, whereas the latest generation of shrouded tidal turbines create up to 12GWh.

 

7.      7. The Cost

 

It is true that the cost of this change will be enormous. Farming will have to be subsidised to a much greater degree than it is now to compensate for the expense of organic production. More people will be needed to work the land, and more training for the tasks that go along with it. The tasks are indeed of a great (dare we use the word in its proper context?) diversity, which makes the job interesting and fulfilling. The countryman is a herdsman, a husbandman, a mechanic, a mason, a carpenter, a machine operator, a caretaker and an odd-jobs-man. Compensation will also have to be given for the lower yields associated with organic farming.

 

Yet the cost of not doing this is still greater. It is the cost associated with ill health. Cancers and respiratory illnesses are on the rise, and little wonder; yet the political caste—for who can doubt that they are now become a caste unto themselves—have little interest in grabbing the nettle by the root. They are too happy to throw money to their friends on the directorships of pharmaceutical corporations to develop experimental drugs, and throw away more money on the NHS, where it is squandered on an ever-expanding army of bureaucrats and managers instead of medical staff.

 

As any fool knows, prevention is better than cure, and to use two old sayings in one sentence, this prevention lies in the aphorism that you are what you eat. A diet that is higher in nutrition and free from pesticide residue will result in healthier people with more energy and vitality. I am not saying anything new here; the Earl of Portsmouth’s seminal work Famine in England addressed this very subject back in 1938. Children in particular will grow into healthier adults with better nutrition and be able to fight off common diseases and viruses without visits to the doctor or hospital. This will alleviate the strain on the NHS. 

 

Adults too will benefit in many ways, not least in increased fertility. We are informed that European fertility rates are the lowest ever, with sperm counts particularly affected. The political caste seem to be particularly pleased in telling us this, particularly as it provides them with one of their many falsehoods for the need for immigration, a falsehood made apparent by their disinterest in addressing the root problem.

 

Savings will also be made by our agricultural self-sufficiency. The country will no longer be beholden to countries on whom we are dependent for food importation. Indeed, such will be the quality and reputation of our produce, particularly with regard to livestock, that it will be desired by more affluent people and restaurants abroad—although I hasten to add that transcontinental transportation of live animals would be forbidden, and carcasses would instead by transported in refrigerated lorries.

 

 

 

The cost would also be compensated by the production of clean energy instead of reliance on foreign companies like EDF, who extort the British consumer even more than the French. Monies generated, such as the £1.9 billion the EDF makes in Britain every year, will therefore serve the British economy and no one else’s. Savings will also be made in the reduction of flooding. Direct costs related to flooding reach £2.4 billion per year, rising to £6.1 billion when disruption to businesses and the economy is factored in.

 

The cost of personnel needed will be offset by the dismissal of civil servants employed in fake and redundant jobs. The money spent on race relations, diversity and inclusion, LGBTPJQ+ etc. will also be redirected into a coherent seas commission, waterways commission and forestry commission, with DEFRA being replaced by a pastoral commission tasked with helping farmers and cottage industries, and with preserving British country life.

 

Conclusion

 

In short, the Great Britain of the nationalist future will be a country that both embraces the latest technology—indeed pioneers it—and lives in harmony with Nature. Technologies will be developed that work to serve the British ecosystem and the British people simultaneously, the two going hand in glove in any case. Being at the forefront of research and development will prevent further brain drains, like the one under Margaret Thatcher in the early 1980s. Our greatest minds will be put to use in making Great Britain a truly green and pleasant land.
