The Prince of Wales has hit back at the "unbelievable abuse" he has suffered for his green views on architecture, farming and health.
In a wide ranging speech on the need for a "greener economy", the Prince said he has been fighting all his life for a more holistic and sustainable way of living.
But he said many of his ideas on health care and agriculture have been met with "huge defensiveness" and have even been described as "dangerous" or "positively evil".
The Prince has been criticised by doctors for promoting alternative medicine such as homeopathy. He was described as a "Luddite" by a Labour MP for his warning that genetically modified (GM) crops could cause an environmental disaster, while his views on organic farming were labelled "backward". Leading architecht Lord Foster recently said the Prince "abused his power" for intervening over the development of Chelsea Barracks.
He was also ridiculed for saying plants respond to being talked to.
But the Prince said problems like climate change and the depletion of natural resources will not be tackled by modern technology alone. He said he has always challenged the "conventional" view by looking more to nature, despite the criticism.
"We have to face these issues which is why I battle so hard in this area despite the unbelievable abuse that is heaped on me every time I open my mouth. All I can hope is when I am dead it will be appreciated what I was trying to do. At the end of the day what is the point of all this technology if we lose our souls and lose the soul of nature which we are part of?"

...he’s been abusing us with the view we get of him
Shut up, Chuck.
He the Prince of Whales. He's supposed say green things.
When you are as dumb as this man...when you make and adopt the most outrageous and unproven claims as your own...when you think that your own countrymen ought to be enslaved worse than they already are through the obscene amounts of Marxist-socialism then yes...you can expect abuse.
Idiot.
Hey Charlie—Go eat some green manure.
irrelevant.
...and he speaks bad English.................
I agree with him on all the architecture stuff.
LOL...oh I couldn’t have said it better myself. This is such a joke. What a sissy. He’s never had to lift a finger to do a thing and is trying to place all kinds of restrictions on everyone else.
"I talk to the plants, but they never listen."
Hat tip to "Paint Your Wagon."
Well, Charlie, focusing on your being a green weenie means you're more like to be left alone for being a useless pansy.
I look forward to the day when all eco-weenies are abused for their green views.
As Michael Chrighton once wrote, “the only thing more ludicrous than limousine liberal is a Gulfstream environmentalist.”
Does the Queen know what you are doing to he English?
So glad his mother has lived a long life.
“Prince of Wales says he has been abused for his green views”
No, he is abused because he is an obtuse pansy ;-)
>> the Prince said he has been fighting all his life for a more holistic and sustainable way of living.
This is stupid. Does the Prince of Wales even know what “sustainable” means? It means, given all the ridiculous liberal assumptions about capitalism and consumer economics, “could everyone on the planet live like you live?” According to that definition of the term, his lifestyle is the embodiment of “unsustainable”.

He needs to be abused for his appalling taste in women.
