For Augustus Pugin, the Gothic Revival in architecture – which he did much to unleash – had a very special and specific purpose. Pointed arches and gabled roofs were not just a design choice, but were riven with moral meaning. To Pugin, the neo-classical style of the previous century was to be despised above all else: its clean lines, and its clean facades, seemed to insist that the universe was rational and comprehensible to the human mind. To the brooding young Pugin, this was anathema. From Doric columns it was only a hop, step and a jump to the French Revolution and the Cult of the Supreme Being. The solution to secular hubris was to rebuild Britain in a confusion of gargoyles, tracery and flying buttresses; all of this would serve to re-enchant national life, and inspire a trembling awe for the universe and its mysteries.
The new bollard sitting areas, plonked in some of Britain’s main thoroughfares, proceed from a similar ethos. The first thing to note is that they are being raised in conscious defiance of something else. The new sitting area in Oxford’s Broad Street isn’t a paved-over section of its own, but is instead grafted straight onto the tarmac itself – this is not an attempt to build something, but to deface something else. You will notice also that there are hardly any benches, and those that do exist are indistinguishable from the bollards themselves. The purpose of this place isn’t for people to sit, but simply to obstruct the street for a moral purpose.
As with the Gothic style, the structure certainly doesn’t lack for ornament. The wooden bollards are irregular in shape and irregularly placed, forming a jagged line. Skin disease-like patches of solid yellow are strewn about the ground. The structure is further encrusted with a thicket of dry and scratchy plants, and a rats’ nest of bicycles. Whatever this is, it certainly does not obey the old modernist dictum that form should follow function. There is little of Le Corbusier to be found here, or even Norman Foster – New Labour’s court architect.
If these places have a moral purpose, then what is it? They are meant as a rebuke to apparent hubris; they declare that humans should not, or cannot, shape the world around them. Somehow, nature will always have its due – the weeds will always creep in, reclaiming all our achievements and bringing them low. It’s a kind of peevish version of the Babel myth. This is increasingly the tenor of British architecture, which insists on weighing down anything that may inch towards monumentalism or grandeur with haphazard clumps of grass and bramble.
But look at it this way. As a moral statement, it is an essentially despairing one. The architects of Oxford as a 15-minute city are not offering an alternative to modern industrial life, or even to car-centric life. No new system of trams or buses has been forthcoming, never mind a return to some kind of agrarian living. Instead, Net Zero architecture is content to nibble at the edges of modern life. Hating cars and the people who drive them, but unable to conceive of anything else, Oxford City Council can only petulantly obstruct by scattering objects in the way – almost literally a case of toys thrown out of the pram. A street isn’t a blank canvas; it is there to be used. To simply make a street worse and less functional, rather than abolishing it and building something else, is only demented.
The entire project of Net Zero follows a similar logic. Its predictions are cataclysmic, but its solutions are not. It doesn’t see a transformation of industrial society, only a gradual and forced winding down of living standards. It doesn’t offer a new way of life, but makes life harder for superstitious reasons. Net Zero proposes that just enough of industrial society be kept around in order to sustain the bureaucracy which is to carry this out.
By strangling one of the city’s main arteries, what the council declares is that Oxford – which by all economic logic should be Britain’s second city – is, in fact, a theme park. A Hogwarts theme park for tourists, kept in aspic as a medieval parody of itself. As Oxford is transformed from a scientific and industrial centre into a historical curiosity, the city will – I suspect – lose much of its charm. But this is likely to be lost on the planners themselves, who despair of urban life, and can only imagine city living as a collection of sham villages. We end up with all the mysticism of Pugin, but with none of the vision. Britain’s towns and cities are in the midst of another Gothic Revival – only this time without any buildings.

This is one of the best written and most inciteful pieces ever put up on the Daily Sceptic.
It absolutely nails the childlike, vindictive, incoherent, inconsistent and basically vandalistic nature of the Green / Net Zero movement as epitomised by the catastrophic visual and practical effects it is having on urban areas.
All couched in an excellent literary style such as ‘Skin disease-like patches of solid yellow are strewn about the ground’ and ‘A street isn’t a blank canvas; it is there to be used’.
Also placed within a very interesting historical / ideological / architectural background framework (Plugin / Gothic versus Neo-classicism).
Fantastic stuff.
Seconded. You saved me a comment.
PS just noticed that I have transformed the famous Victorian gothic architect into a piece of computer software (‘Plugin’) must work harder on my own literary style (or at least spell-check properly!)
NET ZERO KILLS CITIES & COUNTRYSIDE

The word ‘strangling’ conjures up the whole Net Zero approach to life itself. While promoting the concept as being about saving the life of the planet, it does the exact opposite in terms of our human part of the same planet: suffocating our society, stamping on all our endeavours, constricting our mobility and on and on with a relentless, cheerless zealous mindset, all cheered on by ignorant and frightened do-gooders who have clearly done no thinking, deep thinking that is, about this whatsoever. In that respect, never was a phrase more apposite that ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ – although I would say that the intentions of those actually driving this ideology are not good at all. Positively evil in fact.
People are quite capable of hiding their real intentions from themselves.
Rest assured the local councillors and senior executives have not been responsible for this nihilism as their intelligence levels are way below such levels of violence. This type of work is being directed way above local people. Our shit hole town is being similarly desecrated.
Agree, HP, the ignorance and lack of discernment displayed by the elected officials, whether they are paid or not, is gobsmacking. We are led by donkeys.
Boy, are these local politicians going to be in for a rude surprise when they realize they’re not part of the elite and they’re actually going to be affected by all the destruction they’re inflicting.
“Boy, are these local politicians going to be in for a rude surprise…”
Damn right they are.
Yes it’s hard to believe anyone could be that stupid but vanity and greed impair judgment. The same goes for the “kind” middle class people who say they want us to open our borders.
Wonderful article.
We are in the Soviet Union but most people have not yet realised.
Everything is ugly and absurd, nothing works, lies, corruption and hypocrisy are standard, the past is reviled, and nobody dares say what they really think.
Excellent comment.
I read the comments and the article and I got thinking about what Hitler said in Mein Kampf about a cause needing an enemy. He has never struck me as particularly anti-Jewish, he simply needed a target, an object to blame.
Today we see his tactic used once again. As with Jews, Climate Change is used as the target and it matters not if the truth accompanies the pointed finger. The point is to unite people in a common cause with a common, identifiable enemy.
It was tried with Global Warming but that was debunked. Climate Change has always happens so is impossible to refute much like “Jews own the Banks and we have no money therefore we must kill the Jews”: Climate Change / Jews are the enemy and we must unite to defeat our target is the message.
As with 1930’s Germany we see hordes of people, all seeking a cause, rallying behind the clarion call. The German people of the 1930’s thought that the end justified the means so ignored the means. Today we see the same thing, Just Stop Oil, for example, would actually stop all human life if they got what they want. That is a minor fact because the enemy, the target, the final outcome is clear. Just as it was in 1936.
The rule-of-thumb still holds: Whenever you feel like making a Nazi comparison, don’t. Chances are that what you believe to be true about this period of the 20th century really isn’t[*] and besides that, it’s past history and the world has moved on.
[*] Antisemitism was a social movement in response to the so-called jewish emancipation in the early 19th century and Hitler decidedly counted himself as one of its members. Eg, pages 59 – 63 of Mein Kampf have the subtitle Wandlung zum Antisemiten (How I Became An Anti-Semite), 64 and 65 Der Jude als Führer der Sozialdemokratie (Jewish Leadership of the Socialist Party) followed by Jüdische Dialektik (Jewish Dialectic) up to 67. The chapter ends with describing Marxism as inherenly destructive Jewish ideology and the sentence
So glaube ich heute im Sinne des allmächtigen Schöpfers
zu handeln: I n d e m i c h m i c h d e s J u d e n e r w e h r e ,
k ä m p f e i c h f ü r d a s W e r k d e s H e r r n.
That’s how I nowadays believe to serve the almighty Lord: By defending myself against the Jews, I’m fighting for God’s creation.
You ideas about Germany in the 1930s are similarly misguided but I’ll save myself the details.
–
“You ideas about Germany in the 1930s are similarly misguided but I’ll save myself the details”
On the contrary, though RichAustin was just making a perfectly reasonable analogy revolving around tyrannical movements always requiring invented enemies for justification and mass support he could have made a far more direct comparison between the contemporary Anthropogenic Climate Change / Net Zero ideology and agenda and that of Nazi Germany.
In fact the Hitler regime was by far the Greenest in history, indeed in many ways Nazism is simply environmentalism writ large.
Mein Kampf and the works of other Party leaders are absolutely riven with expressions of Nature worship / contempt for modern industrial and urban living (as ‘decadent’ etc), they tried to replace Christian festivals such as Christmas with neo-Pagan / Nature-worshipping versions, and they fully upheld organic / biodynamic agricultural principles:
”As early as April 1934, Nazi interior minister Wilhelm Frick visited Bartsch’s biodynamic estate and expressed his support for the organization. He was followed by a parade of similarly high-profile figures including Rudolf Hess, Robert Ley, and Alfred Rosenberg, who were guests at biodynamic headquarters in Bad Saarow and voiced their support for the undertaking. Representatives of the Reich League for Biodynamic Agriculture publicized the achievements of their organic farming methods in various media, highlighting the virtues of a natural approach to growing food for the revitalization of the German nation.
They claimed that biodynamic farms enjoyed more abundant harvests and produced higher quality crops than conventional agriculture, adding that organic procedures were more efficient, healthier, and more conducive to the well-being of the peasantry and the German people at large. Depicting the farm as a unified organism, Bartsch disdained the “Americanization and mechanization of agriculture” as hazardous to “German peasant life” and its connection to “the living soil.
Beginning in 1934, a crucial source of institutional backing for the biodynamic movement came from Nazi officials overseeing the party’s Lebensreform or life reform efforts, one of the lesser known facets of National Socialist policy. Life reform encompassed a range of alternative traditions including back to the land projects, nutritional reform proposals, natural healing methods, vegetarian and animal protection societies, and experiments in nonconventional agriculture.
Under Nazi auspices, such endeavours were incorporated into a campaign for a healthier and more vigorous German nation. A chief proponent of this approach was Hans Georg Müller, head of the official Nazi life reform organization, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Lebensreform, founded on the principle that “the worldview of the German life reform movement is National Socialism.” Müller coordinated various alternative movements from his position as a functionary in the Nazi Party directorate.”
The Nazis also introduced some of the world’s first Nature Reserves, Hermann Goering’s Reich Nature Protection Law of 1935 “extended protection to rare or endangered plants and nongame animals, natural monuments and their surroundings, nature reserves, and other landscape areas in open nature”, even a modern industrial project such as the autobahn “was overseen by a coterie of ‘advocates for the landscape’ under the direction of Alwin Seifert, whose official title was Reich Advocate for the Landscape. Their declared task was to preserve wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas of the countryside, ensure that public works projects were ecologically sustainable, and embed the new Autobahn roadways harmoniously into the surrounding landscape.”
Finally (and as touched upon above) the entire Lebensraum (‘Living Space’) expansionist foreign policy that led to WWII was at least partially predicated on the notion of giving as many Germans as possible access to farmland to provide them with a ‘traditional, healthy and natural’ (ie Green) existence as opposed to their current evil, debased, modern industrial / urban ones.
The racially supremacist (including anti-Semitic) and ultra-violent aspects of the Nazi philosophy and agenda were simply interlinked aspects of the same neo-Pagan and social-Darwinian (‘Struggle for the Survival of the Fittest’) environmentalist ones outline above.
And finally to bring this all back to an even more straightforward link with the contemporary eco-movement the original Green Party (and seed corn for all the others, including UK version) was formed in Germany by (among others ) former members of the Nazi Party in 1980.
On the contrary, though RichAustin was just making a perfectly reasonable analogy
I’ve already noticed that there isn’t really a difference between to so-called American left and the so-called American right. You’re nicely demonstrating that by first engaging in the usual name dropping – mention Mein Kampf to give the impression you read it despite you obviously didn’t – and then, following that up by quoting a bunch of unrelated stuff supposed to be useful for your political agenda.
About the only coherent statement which can be (barely) harvested from this load of waffle is Eternal subjugation of Germany is crucial for the American interests in Europe. And even that is anything but new.
For some reason I overlooked this statement in RichAustin’s post that we both commented on: “He [Hitler] has never struck me as particularly anti-Jewish”.
if you thought I was agreeing with that aspect then I can understand your belief that I have never read Mein Kampf – which (alongside every other aspect of Adolf Hitler’s political and ideological career) does of course continuously and relentlessly reflect the most virulent form of personal anti-Semitism possible, and not one invented for tactical purposes as RichAustin maintained.
With that clarified I stand by the main content of my own posting which you dismissed in its entirety, ie that Nazism (including the anti-Semitic / generally racially supremacist elements) was fundamentally grounded in environmentalism.
Finally I have never even visited the US (or any other part of America) never mind live there as you implied (though I would happily do so, I don’t adhere to any nationalistic bigotries).
Neither do I uphold any political ideology (eg left or right versions) but rather believe in the concept of individual spiritual-moral responsibility and development.
As to this excellent article I see, within 30 years, people being restricted to a very small area. Cars will be next to non-existent. Public transport will be limited to local areas and based in that area. Not long after city centres will be pulled down. Air travel will be limited to the Great and The Good. You would need a pass to be able to get to an airport anyway, all delivered on your Track and Trace, and most would not be able to afford / qualify for one.
Oxford is the major pointer to where we are heading. It is not a future I wish to be a part of and I am thankful I am closer to my end than my beginning.
This may be their plan but it can’t work.
Solar and wind cannot sustain a surveillance society with an internet of things. It’s not physically possible.
It is possible with the democide which is going on. It’s not just the excess deaths in all age groups but the fertility problems caused by the bioweapon injections in men & Particularly women of childbearing age, the early onset of menopause in 30 somethings let alone taking into account the as yet unknown impact on the fertility of any children who have been born to those who took the bioweapon injections. We also have to factor in the alphabet agenda of pushing folk into a reproductive dead end.
Deagel in 2015 forecast a 60% reduction in the UK population by 2025.
Dr Daniel Estulin said that in previous major political economy upheavals (think back to mid 13th century, 15th/16th centuries & the industrial revolution which changed the political economy)that about 20% of the population died as a result of these changes. That is currently happening folks.
Large numbers of people dying makes a fourth industrial revolution less likely, not more. We are highly interconnected and that is what makes our civilisation work. If 60% of working age people die society will collapse.
Think about all the links in the chain that are necessary for the smartphone in your hand to work. Think about all the people mining and engineering and manufacturing the components and transporting them to you, and building and maintaining the infrastructure for wi-fi and 5g to work. And the energy that is necessary to complete all those steps.
Then think about the housing, energy, food, clean water, clothes, furniture, transport, and healthcare that is needed to sustain those workers who are bringing the smartphone to you.
Without everyone playing their part, there is no smart phone.
Reducing the European population is part of the plan Destroying European culture & civilisation is the end goal.
The fourth industrial revolution has nothing to do with human life, it’s transhumanism, life extension for the evil elites & them only needing a small slave class to service their needs. That is the fourth industrial revolution.
If there are no more than 1 billion of the serf class, then those links to support the smart phone are no longer needed. If the well being of us the middle & working classes was the aim, all of the above would be a problem. What lockdowns did was to destroy the middle classes, destroy SMEs & private wealth, make more of us dependent upon the state, easier to bully, bribe & coerce into their kill protocols – whether by reducing quality of food to induce disease, pushing folk into despair which causes disease, dangerous & unnecessary medical interventions to access society, once in hospital death protocols of NG191. These things are all happening & have happened over the last 3 years. The cull from the bioweapon injections is only going to increase as the longer term effects of these bioweapons start to occur. No long term data is available from these injections. The data being collected currently is the medium term data – we have no way of knowing what is to come, we just know that it’s going to be bad & a huge number.
The NHS is just following treatment protocols – basically healthcare by numbers & will not cope, especially as huge numbers of injected healthcare staff are likely to be amongst the increased dead.
It’s horrific what is to come. Getting one’s head around the malign intent of the evil elite, using bribery & blackmail of the political puppets & pawns to achieve it is incredibly hard to do. To accept that we, the plebiscite are so hated & held in such disdain by the psychopaths who are driving this agenda.
I’ve learned a lot in the past 18 months or so. It’s not been an easy ride having all that I knew challenged.
We’re in the middle of a war. A war on us, the “useless eaters” who have been taking too much of the evil elites’ resources that they have decided are theirs.
They manufactured the first & second world wars as a cull on numbers & to enable capitalism to have room to grow. Bit difficult with the threat of nuclear war to manufacture a third. Hence the use of pandemics to scare, bully & coerce us into greater compliance.
The evil elite families & banks owned by them take an incredibly long view to ensure the survival of their own – think back to the early Middle Ages that is when the oldest family controlled bank was started.
We only think short term, they think in aeons.
It is not possible for the elites to live in high tech luxury whilst a billion slaves live as if in the middle ages.
As I attempted to explain, there are a LOT of pre-conditions to make a high-tech society work. An educated populace to design, build and maintain the high tech gear is needed, for one thing.
If the elites are happy to live like kings in the middle ages then that might work. But somehow I don’t think they fancy swapping their Teslas for horses.
They are maintaining an elite educated class – it’s already happening & has been for decades – whilst dumbing down & propagandising the servant class.
I understand where your questions are coming from. What is needed is to remember that the elite took all of Tesla’s body of work on his death, that they already have technologies which have not been shared with us.
You explained your argument clearly – I’m offering a different argument which requires one to think outside of the brainwashing & propaganda which we’ve received. That is the challenge for all of us.
I’m still receiving new information which challenges what I currently know in a way that requires me to look at it with fresh eyes & not view it through the prism of the propaganda I’ve received.
It’s tough to do. Change & challenges to one’s thinking processes, knowledge & what one believed to be true is difficult & painful to go through.
Use your excellent critical thinking skills to look at this from outside of your belief system. It’s scary but liberating.
Oh for goodness sake.
The reason I don’t agree with you is not because I am ‘scared’ or because I am new to the arguments you are making.
The reason I don’t agree with you is because the society you describe cannot work in the real world. An educated elite class IS a middle class. And a middle class needs a lower class to service their food, water, housing, energy, furniture and clothing needs.
A high tech and highly complex society like ours is like a jenga tower. If you remove billions of bricks from the middle and bottom then the infrastructure will collapse.
The elite will not still be driving Teslas around whilst a few people live in mud huts. Because who would fix the Teslas when they exploded, for one thing?
And what components would they fix them with? Who would mine the minerals to make the components? Who would build the house of the guy mining the minerals to manufacture the components? Who would grow food for the guy mining the minerals? Who would build the truck transporting the components….etc?
Eventually, machines and AI. But a long way off.
Machines don’t assemble, transport or fix themselves. And they wear out and go wrong all the time. Even self checkouts need a shop assistant hovering nearby at all times.
It’s sci-fi fantasy from grifters who are keen to hoover up investment from the gullible.
I think it’s a reasonable assumption that these issues will eventually be solved. It will take a long time, with many short steps and some big leaps. Investors in the short steps may get a return in their lifetime, those in the big leaps not so much. Just to be clear I am imagining something thousands of years into the future. We have a long time before the sun makes the planet uninhabitable.
Of course in the timeframes we are taking about (the lifetimes of the current and future elite) we will still need human workers. How many of them we need is a different matter. In former times the elites lived incredibly well relative to the general population, with a much smaller population.
The elite educated/middle classes are not procreating and do not want to procreate. Time seems to be the issue here. How long will it take from conveniences to freezing to death in winter to widespread population erasure? In the long run, the super-elites can rely on AI, robots, 3-D printing, and peasants to enjoy their fabulous life. In the meantime, all bets are off on how much societal destruction people will experience before the erasure. Will people rebel in time to stop it?
You’re right, they’re not. Too busy trying to keep their financial heads above water, inadequate housing for the quality of life they want to have if/when they procreate, too selfish, terrified into believing that having children is selfish & harmful to the planet, too brainwashed by their education to see beyond the lies.
In the UK with the closing of two coal fired power plants & the possibility that the third won’t be on standby we could be looking at this winter for the start of it.
Nailed it again.
No surprises when I state that your post NAILS IT.
Well done BB.
Thank you Hux
Sadly the “not working” may manifest itself in a terribly diminished quality of life and it will be too late.
Oh absolutely.
Attempts to run our society on wind and solar energy are insane and will result in mayhem.
The initial target date for much of what you refer to has a thirty (30) in it but it is 2030 not thirty years.
Reading this inciteful article has joined another dot for me – it is all linked to the demolition of the political economy which is capitalism. Capitalism as a political economy is dying a slow & painful death, it has nowhere left to grow & expand into, which is the whole rationale of capitalism – economic growth. The evil elites knew this about 40 – 50years ago but have not a clue as to what will replace it. The purposeful destruction of service industries, community, human life all sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero is to transition to whatever this new, unknown, with no language to describe it political economy will be. All that the evil elites care about is the accumulation of whatever is the currency of the day – be that land, technology, intellect – & to ensure that they as always walk away with the spoils caring not one jot for the rest of us.
Net Zero is the means to destroy utterly the capitalist system as we know it.
That we are aware of what they’re doing, & more folk are gaining that awareness, is what is causing them to speed up the delivery of their agenda & in the rush are making some mistakes.
It also explains why economic growth in the UK, Europe, North America, Japan has stagnated & that productivity has fallen off a cliff – it is & always was unsustainable. This is what the “sustainable development goals” of the UN Agenda21 are referring to.
Everything is in plain sight but veiled by fluffy language & a positive spin.
We’re heading backwards in terms of energy supply, jobs, material possessions towards a more Mediaeval level of society. A greater polarity between the haves & the have nots as existed back then. What is different now is that we can see what they’re up to, have an idea of the challenges to come such as food & energy security but that we now know that we are more powerful than we realised back in the 12th & 13th centuries by sheer dint of numbers.
Peaceful disobedience, building a proper supportive community & doing the polar opposite of what the government diktats are is what is frustrating the hell out of them. Why do you think so much energy is expended on disrupting any form of protest group? Far easier for them to disrupt, question credibility of a large organised protest than it is to deal with lots of acts of disobedience all at once happening in a disparate pattern.
The evil elites want to push us to a mass violent revolution which can be quashed with the full force of the state using psych ops of fear, the army (most likely UN not ours) & imposition of lockdowns. It worked so well just a few short years ago. Do not give them the satisfaction of being proved right.
As Marcus Aurelius knew has said on a number of occasions – be ungovernable.
This is deliberate.
Kill off SMEs, freedom to travel, create dependence on the state.
Fight them every inch.
The obvious clue for me of this nihilism is the complete lack of any investment, or effort, to create a meaningful improvement in public transport or the cycling network.
Indeed, even as this all goes on, public transport is tangibly deteriorating.
“The National Grid on Wednesday said it had ended talks with the two companies about keeping open West Burton A, in Nottinghamshire, and two coal-fired units at Drax’s plant in Selby, Yorkshire, after they made clear that the sites would not be available.
Last winter, the companies were paid to keep these coal units on standby as a final resort to keep the lights on if gas and renewable energy generation ran low.
But the refusal of EDF and Drax to keep the facilities open means the Grid will be unable to keep this so-called winter contingency in reserve again.”
From yesterday’s article about the closure of coal powered electricity generating stations. So, knowing as the government must, that the closures will result in potentially devastating national power cuts why is the government not sequestering these power stations. Money is not an argument because taxpayer funds currently being wasted on subsidies to “green” energy companies could and should be diverted to keeping these power stations open. It would appear – tongue-in-cheek for those unfamiliar with my sense of humour – that the government is actively working towards ensuring power cuts this winter.
I wonder why?
The Eco Socialist world view goes something like this.———–The wealthy west has used up more than its fair share of the fossil fuels in the ground which are a finite resource and we must STOP doing that. ———-To get away with this you need a very good or at least plausible excuse. That excuse is “Climate Change”. You see the spitting fury at anyone who questions any aspect of this pseudo science or the policies put in place to try and avert the non existent crisis. Which only reveals one thing. It is a manufactured crisis. because if there is no dangerous climate change the whole Eco Socilaist pretend to save the planet agenda comes tumbling down faster than George Foreman when knocked out by Muhammad Ali in Rumble in the Jungle.
The article and comments were especially thought-provoking today. Thank you all.
Broad street looks absolutely revolting. That , in my view is criminal damage. Wtf thought it up and who on earth paid for it ( I know us). Shameful.
