9 crushing blows to the Tory MP who wants UK wind turbines to use British wind

In light of the government’s pledge to invest £95 million in green energy across Teesside and the Humber Region, the Minister for Small Business, Paul Scully, appeared on Sky News to fill in some details.

One of those details was a little unexpected.

We’re guessing he didn’t study meteorology before he got into politics – or that he knows something about UK border control that the rest of us and Covid-19 don’t.

Twitter dealt his theory a few blows.

Can't the British wind turbines be adapted to accept continental wind? Maybe two blades instead of three?

Idiot Paul Scully has taken Brexit irrationality to new depths, boasting that offshore wind farms will be powered by British wind. Gale force flatulence, straight from a Brexit arse.

I have serious concerns with this. How will we prevent EU wind crossing our borders and using our wind turbines?

Have the government considered covering the UK in some sort of protective dome, a bit like a large-scale Eden Project? https://t.co/MbYXJOGQBt

"British wind, yes. Good, strong, honest, British wind. Not this limp, vapid Continental wind smelling of Gauloises and sauerkraut but proper old red white and blue wind. The wind that filled the sails of Drake's ships. The wind that flowed over the wings of Spitfires." https://t.co/X1UklY4jLK

Can anyone help? I’m not liking this British wind, any chance someone can send me some Spanish wind as it’s a bit cold outside! Cheers

If this nonsense seems familiar, it might be because it’s in much the same vein as this statement by Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Jacob Rees-Mogg – "The key is we've got our fish back. They are now British fish, & they're better & happier fish for it." 😬

Mr Speaker – Obviously there's overwhelming evidence for that. pic.twitter.com/pTrcEVdr0w
