Peter Hitchens questions whether Tony Blair's opposition to Net Zero policies signals a genuine shift in his beliefs or a calculated move. He recounts personal anecdotes and highlights Blair's past associations with left-wing groups to support his theory that Blair's actions could be a product of his early Marxist ideals.
Hitchens delves into Blair's past, mentioning his early membership in the Labour Party and his admiration for Trotsky. He emphasizes Blair's alleged attempt to conceal his past affiliations and suggests that his current actions may be guided by his concealed past beliefs.
Hitchens draws a parallel between the perceived overreach of trade unions in the 1970s and the current power of the police. He cites his own experiences and a recent incident where Essex Police attempted to suppress a column in another publication.
