The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.
That’s 104 years ago.
Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.
So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.
A proper fan, who’s likely been going to Tynecastle since he was a boy, through the ups and downs. Fans suffer through at times, no matter your team, in hope of moments like those. It’s what football is all about; it’s refreshing to see now we’re so used to being shown the fuds with half and half scarves and selfie sticks on Sky Sports every week from South of Border.
UK Legend Jeremy Clarkson in 2008:-
“The only sound that is better than that, is the sound of Peter Mandelson being attacked by bears” ‼️
Wow - Jeremy Clarkson knew way back then….
🧵 Happy #BurnsNight to all our Scottish fans 🏴
From our origins to European nights, Scotland has played a special role in Sevilla FC’s story.
Let’s take a look at that connection 👇
It shows how little they think of our intellect, shouting this from the rooftops. To put it in long-term perspective, if those earning £50k, £60k and £70k could instead invest the additional tax they pay in Scotland each month for, say, 30 years in $SPY, they would end up with £275k, £322k and £359k respectively, based on a historical long-term total return of approximately 10.35% annualised. A nice wee boost to your pension indeed. Little wonder highly skilled workers are seeking pastures new.
BREAKING:
A woman who married her brother calls a man that saved astronauts trapped in outer space with his own starship “one of the dumbest people on earth”.
Finally someone on the UK’s Hard Left has something to say about Iran. Sadly it wasn’t worth the wait.
It takes a particularly warped mind, as Iranians are being massacred in the streets by an evil regime, to drag in America and Israel as the bad guys — while letting Tehran’s repressive masters off lightly.
Not a word of encouragement for the protesters risking their lives, not an ounce of solidarity for Iranian women struggling to win the most basic human rights.
Shameful. Simply shameful.
