Category Archives: Global Hunger alarmism

Another Monday morning and the BBC kicks with the usual narratives. Global hunger caused by massive population growth  (aided and abetted by global warming, natch) was in the spotlight and occupied prime-time on Today. Professor Sir John Beddington – advisor to the Coalition – was on to tell us just how awful it all is. If one was cynical, it could be argued that this was a timely and well placed piece of propaganda for the Coalition’s bizarre decision to ring fence the Foreign Aid budget. In all the discussion about hunger in Africa, not ONCE was the absence of democracy and property rights mentioned, suggesting that the Professor and his associates believe that tyrants, theocrats and thugs can provide food the people regardless.
