Makes me fucking livid. They don't pretend it's for anyone’s good any more: they just nakedly wreck shit for political gain. Pepperidge Farm remembers when these shitters used to try and justify their awfulness.
I'm pretty sure Charles is the "we need to sterilise the poor so they can't breed because the world is over populated" kind of environmentalist that probably also supports fox hunting. At least that's the only kind environmentalist British aristocrats tend to be.

It's unfortunate that right-wing parties will likely get more and more popular the worse things get as people tend to flock to populists in times of crisis, and I don't know about other countries but here in Finland the under-25's are actually more conservative than eg. millennials or gen X – in this year's parliamentary elections ~30% of them voted for either an extremist right wing party that has a nontrivial amount of literal neo-Nazis in it, or the "fiscally conservative" party which isn't much better (and has a bit of a revolving door with the extremists).
