Bernard Ingham: Why on earth do we put up with this green extortion?

MY text this week is taken from Corinthians I: "Behold, I shew you a mystery."


In the election for London's Mayor, the Greens got just over three per cent of the vote. Leaving aside such misguided places as Norwich, where the Green Party gained three seats, they struggled elsewhere to poll anywhere near that.

In my native Calderdale, with its strong "Green" lobby, they managed only just over one per cent – less than the BNP, English Democrats and Independents, the other small groups that fought the election there.

Yet Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Nationalists dance slavishly to the Green tune.

And how many greens were elected against the number of English democrats?

Thank you, Englander1, for putting a link through to that interesting article by Sir Bernard Ingham in the Yorkshire Post.
