Lord Lawson of Blaby, now sadly passed on, left the UK a much better place than he found it, and laid some impressive foundations of common sense upon which to argue the case against the Climate Agenda.
In those days the use of common sense was still acceptable, if possibly discouraged - who could now envisage cutting taxes to transform the economy and improve the lot of the working people?
It was common sense that led him to question the notion that we should turn the entire economy upside down and frantically build more and more windmills with no clear notion of how much it was all going to cost, or when the saving of the planet could be definitively accomplished.
Over the last thirty years common sense has taken a beating, as it had to, in order for the sacred Climate Agenda to be properly consecrated. A whole new generation has been inculcated with unfounded ideologies that defy common sense - gender fluidity, both mental and physical - the cult of obedience to (officially approved) experts and scientists - the utterly misguided belief that the solutions to all our difficulties can (only) be provided by ever-more centralised top-down government (provided we would just do as we are told), and of course - the (still!) imminent existential threat posed by Climate Change.
Naturally, since common sense is dependent upon a capability for rational thought, rational thinking has had to be bypassed - hence the recent emphasis on teaching our children what to think rather than how to think, whom to believe rather than how to reach a belief, whom to trust rather than how to trust; all supported by compliant media, together with an army of censors and fact-checkers hell-bent on pushing the official narrative and suppressing all alternatives.
In short: Don't think - just do as you are told. It has been astonishing, but indubitably real.
Nigel Lawson had the confidence to think for himself and act accordingly.
It is our mission, should we accept it, to aspire to do likewise. And yes, the fate of the nation and possibly the world, really does depend upon us.
