Calling the group a “bunch of anarchists”, Clark went on to agree with the Counter Terrorism Police’s suggestion to put XR on the terror watch list saying, “it was hardly an unreasonable thing to do.”After arguing that Britain’s energy crisis “has been made much worse by energy policies which for a decade and a half have doggedly pursued the objective of cutting carbon emissions without any regard to the costs”, Clark also claimed that the Government had “deprived Britain of what could have been by now a very productive native shale gas industry”.

I had thought David Attenborough would be above resorting to the subtle propaganda which others have been propagating, linking every adverse weather event to climate change. But apparently not.”
