However mad politicians make me feel, it has never crossed my mind to go to their homes and shout at them.
Imagine agitating against the creation of more energy during an energy crisis. People up and down the country are fretting over how to keep the lights on, and plummy greens are raging against energy exploration. It is a testament to the aloofness of bourgeois eco-agitators that they breezily virtue-signal against energy production at a time when ordinary people are crying out for more energy.
But the problem with yesterday’s home-invading stunt was not only the pre-modern prejudices of posh greens – it was also their tearing apart of the sacred line between public and private. Greenpeace essentially turned the Sunak household into a political spectacle. They stormed the home of a young family – Sunak and his wife are in their early 40s, their daughters are just 12 and 10 – and made it a soapbox for their own narcissistic eco-preening.
