Alexis—your thoughts come close to the truth of the matter. That ‘carbon ration card’ is the final step to supplanting God with the STATE.

Any true believer gives prayers, devotions, and tithes to the Lord in thanks for HIS creation and their place in it. With that card, every public action will require you acknowledge the State’s assigned value of EVERYTHING necessary for your continuing existence [food, public utilities, housing] or anything that might bring you happiness [a new computer, more living space, etc....], or fulfillment [higher eduction, marriage, children...].

Free will no longer matters; your every hope, dream or action is subject to approval by the STATE [it's assigned 'carbon value']. Want to follow your own path? Sure, go ahead…but it will cost you extra, in ways you can’t even begin to imagine.

The common Brit is naked against this. The only arrows left in their quiver is the vote, and their capacity to understand the abyss they’re being herded towards. We Americans are much, much luckier. The political party that proposes this will be dog food. Chests of tea were dumped in a harbor for less reasons; the Brits have no such historical anchor point. Failing that, the true meaning of the 2nd amendment will become abundantly clear. The Left and the Eco-Overlords would do well to note that.

Richard—you are being far, far too kind. That ‘guide’ is the keystone to a fascist state. Conditioning a child to accept anything, and reject nothing molds them into the perfect ‘social robot’. The desire to mitigate racism is merely a fig leaf…imagine the bigotry this wonderful ‘new’ doctrine will engender against anyone, or anything outside of ‘approved values’.

See the proposed future and be warned.
