'Thank GOD for GB News!' Richard Tice hails People's Channel in defiant speech to solar farm protesters

out to those who've organized it really really appreciate it and to GB news thank god for GB

news actually aren't they marvellous um uh but um look I mean this is uh you know this is absolutely

the heart of it uh this dreadful decision by that moron Miliband um I mean he is nothing less

and I mean the scandal of this thousands of acres of good Lincolnshire land uh you know being

consumed by these dreadful solar panels uh it's complete insanity and the sort of the way they

ride roughshod over us is a disgrace but here's the thing that came out this week the most

remarkable news came out and it wasn't me or anybody else on our side of the debate

it was the energy bosses i don't know if some of you saw the select committee where the energy boss

admitted that even if the price of gas went to zero, which obviously it never would, but if you

think that gas represents give or take 30, 33% of the cost of your electricity, they said if the

price of gas goes to zero, well, are the bills going to come down? No, they admitted that by the

next election, the bills will be the same or even higher. And given that the price of gas won't go

to zero of course they'll be way higher so the lie the con that we've all been subjected to was

brutally exposed this week it was a defining moment I think in this whole debate and so

that was good news the other news is some of you many of you may be aware about reforms plans on this we made it very very clear i am now public enemy number one amongst all the renewable folk there was a conference

on wednesday that i couldn't go to i i was almost scared so i sent the more courageous

sean matthews along um and and basically the whole conference seemed to be designed to have a go at

tice and it was all the the eco zealots were there and the narrative had changed they suddenly

realized that thanks to what we've been saying, the consensus is broken. And as you know, we've

made it very clear that this new round, what they call allocation round seven of all the bids for

solar contracts and wind farms onshore and offshore, which is taking place as we speak

They've now delayed the results until January, which is quite interesting. We're not quite sure

why, but that's remarkably late. So something has happened. And of course, the thing that

changed the game earlier this a couple of months ago was, was I said, we said that we've been

conned, we've been lied to, and therefore all of the bids under AR7 this year and beyond future

bids, we consider them null and void. So we will rip up those contracts. And I think that is having

a significant impact. I've met lots of renewable companies who've come to various breakfasts

that I've been having with the business community. And I've told them very clearly, if you invest

in this stuff, then, you know, caveat emptor, we're coming after you. We're writing to the

developers the investors the potential debt holders they all know I give you an example a big energy firm called RWE based out of Germany they called a summit in Berlin and called lots of their people from here

And the subject of the summit in Berlin was reform and what the hell is going on in the UK

So it is starting to have a real influence. And we absolutely mean it

you know if they invest in this stuff if they carry on well um we are coming after them and

we will use whatever means possible uh and obviously where they've got these battery

storage things that we all know are dangerous um they're trying to deny it but you ask any fire

fire brigade uh and we have done and they know that actually there's nothing they can do so

So we're after them. We're on their case. We and we absolutely mean it. This is we will rip these contracts up. So hopefully we are shifting and changing the debate. One thing is for sure. Can we guarantee absolute success this year? No. But are we shifting the narrative and changing the debate? Absolutely. Is it difficult? Of course, when you're dealing with these zealots in government

And the fury amongst Mr. Miliband and his colleagues at me, when I stand up and talk about Net Stupid Zero in the House of Commons

is hysterical, absolutely hysterical. And the sort of the letters I get from Labour MPs

So, you know, all of this stuff is, it's all interlinked. The appalling desecration of our countryside the plans for it quite interesting when you standing under these pylons and the fact they want hundreds and hundreds of miles more of the things And we reiterated to National Grid that you know they should put these cables underground or offshore And if they don

if they build these pylons, they should expect us to legislate to force them to put them underground

at their shareholders expense. So there's a lot going on. And, you know, I think we are

I think we're making real progress. And, you know, the flip side of this is we're not far away from Lindsay Oil Refinery

Thousands and thousands of jobs at risk from the closure of that

This government ideologically couldn't give two hoots. I mean, they're just utterly, utterly deluded

And, you know, all this stuff has a massive knock on consequence. So I just want to say a massive thank you to all of you

it is it's not easy but I reckon we're better at this than anybody else and we

are gonna keep battling keep fighting there'll be good days there'll be

difficult days there'll be tough days but be under no illusion we are gonna

we're doing everything and to stop this nonsense to reverse it where we can and

the key thing is we keep winning elections where we're allowed to hold

them. I mean, I thought only dictators cancelled elections, but it seems they're quite keen

to cancel a bunch more. So we've got to win local elections. And then we've got to win

the general election. And if we do that, all this nonsense stop. And then we can get back

to what we know and love, which is to use our beloved Lincolnshire countryside for growing

food and enjoying the countryside. Thank you very much indeed for being here
