A tenant farmer in the Cairngorms says land that sold for £500 an acre a few years ago now goes for £5,000. He is being moved off ground his family has worked for generations, because he cannot outbid the people buying it. The buyers are corporations, and they have no intention of farming a single acre of it.
Here is how the trick works. A company keeps emitting carbon exactly as before. Same factories, same flights, same supply chain, same product. Then it buys a Scottish hillside, plants some trees, and announces to the world that it is now carbon neutral, or, if it is feeling brave, carbon negative. The emissions never fell. It simply bought a landscape to point at.
Take BrewDog. In 2020 it bought a 9,300-acre Highland estate, propped up with public grant money, and promised a million trees and the crown of the world's first carbon negative beer business, removing twice the carbon it emitted, forever. By 2023 roughly half of the 500,000 trees it had managed to plant were dead, killed by drought, with critics noting the planting was drying out the peat and releasing carbon of its own. The advertising regulator ruled its carbon-negative claims misleading. In 2024 it quietly dropped the badge and dismissed the entire carbon credit market as a flood of cheap schemes whose benefit was "questionable, maybe even non-existent." Then it sold the estate to a firm whose actual business is selling carbon offsets.
That is the whole model in one story. Public money in. Dead trees out. A green halo worn for four years and then dropped. The farmer who used to be on that land, gone. The hillside passed to a company that exists purely to sell other people the right to keep polluting.
This is no fringe case. In one recent year, half of every estate sold in Scotland went to investment funds, corporations and charitable trusts rather than anyone who would farm it. A third of the deals for plantable land are now done off-market, in secret, precisely so the local community never gets the chance to bid.
So this is what net zero looks like on the ground. A man who produced food is priced out of his own glen. A corporation that produced emissions buys the glen, calls itself a force for good, and sells the carbon. The land stops feeding anyone. Nobody's emissions actually went down by a gram.
The food was real. The farmer was real. The carbon saving is a line in a slide deck.
And we have somehow decided the villain in all this is the man with the sheep.
The Bergamo convoy. Military trucks moving through a small Italian town in early 2020, the world watching, everyone told those trucks were carrying the coffins of COVID dead. That image is part of why people accepted what came next.
It has only recently been confirmed that each of those trucks held one coffin. It was staged.
A research group of Italian doctors is compiling data showing that countries with the highest vaccination rates are also seeing the highest all-cause mortality rates.
Nurses and medical staff are now openly saying that elderly patients were being classified as COVID regardless of their actual diagnosis, because hospitals received five times the reimbursement for a COVID admission. The people dying were elderly, already carrying multiple conditions, and the act of hospitalizing them was itself part of what killed them. Scientists call that a syndemic. Not a pandemic. The difference matters.
Italy was the image used to frighten the world into compliance. I am still finding out what was actually happening here.
RFK Jr. called it a “trick”.
Dr. John Campbell called it “sly”.
Journals called it science.
@ClareCraigPath just discussed one of the biggest scandals of our time with @Johnincarlisle which led to a “double whammy”.
Dr. Clare Craig (UK): “They were putting those illnesses onto the unvaccinated group, and exaggerating the problem for the unvaccinated... so you’ve got a sort of double whammy.”
Dr. Campbell: “Pretty sly trick really”
And an Italian peer reviewed paper by Alessandria et al has now revealed how the “case counting window bias” meant that any deaths, hospitalizations, infections, or adverse events in that window were counted in the unvaccinated group.
This “sly” statistical trick was used to sell “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated” and maintain the “safe and effective” narrative.
Robert F Kennedy Jr. - “The offical data do not not count you as vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second shot... the deaths that happened during that first 6 weeks are attributed to unvaccinated people... it's a trick, it's statistical trick”.
Legacy media still hasn’t covered this scandal.
This is not Pakistan, it’s “Great” Britain!
Muslims in Britain kidnapped and raped white British girls to celebrate Islam’s Eid.
The British police did nothing against the Pakistani rapists and ordered the victims to avoid being Islamophobic or xenophobic when describing their attackers, or face hate crime charges.
Don’t stop sharing this until everyone sees it.
As I have tried to persuade people before, not wanting your country to be taken over by a mediaeval woman-hating religion is not a 'far right' position
More like self preservation
And certainly not 'Islamophobia', a word that deliberately suggests that any criticism of Islam is irrational
The right to criticise a religion is part of British culture
Criticism of Islam is Islamoscepticism, not Islamophobia
Phobias are irrational fears, like arachnophobia- the fear of spiders
Or in the case of Islam, fear of dogs and pigs
Calling scepticism (or criticism) a phobia is a misuse of the English language
An infidel's fear of being beheaded is not irrational
The CCC's claim that Britain must spend £11 billion a year adapting to 4°C of warming rests on a scenario the IPCC has just declared "implausible". Heads should roll at the Met Office, says Chris Morrison. https://t.co/7p9d6jaaEs
BREAKING @GBNEWS: Seven men, who are all Afghan nationals and refugees, have been charged with 40 offences after an investigation into an alleged grooming gang in Norwich.
Five of the men arrived illegally in Britain by small boat; two by lorry. All of the men have been in the country for several years. One arrived illegally as early as 2020.
The charges relate to two victims, who were in their early-to-mid teens at the time of the alleged offences.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
Musical chairs in Downing Street don't matter when the real power sits next door at 70 Whitehall. Reform UK will scrap the Cabinet Office and the Cabinet Secretary and restore power to No 10, to ministers and to Parliament. Full policy document here: https://t.co/nKbWGhVOHL
FLASHBACK: Burnham promotes vaccine passports
“It’s your duty to take the vaccine, it’s proven to be safe, you’re protecting other people and (you are) selfish not to take it”
“If (vaccine passports) create an incentive for people to take the vaccine, that’s a good thing”
Another Tuesday in Bradford. Milad Panjshiri, 22, an Afghan asylum seeker, walks into a Morrisons with a six-inch knife. He taps it against his leg. Waves it at a female worker. Knocks over the wine shelves and starts stabbing tinned goods. Staff pull the fire alarm and evacuate weeping customers.
His grievance, apparently, is with King Charles.
Police arrive. Panjshiri is arrested. In court his lawyer pleads mental health, and notes that no member of the public was actually attacked, only the cans. The judge calls it "a very troubling offence." Panjshiri declines to attend his own sentencing. He gets 18 months and will be out in nine.
This is the settlement Britain has arrived at. A man the country did not invite brandishes a blade in a Yorkshire supermarket, screams about the King, and walks out with a sentence shorter than a car lease. Staff go back to work. Customers go home and explain to their kids why mum was crying. Panjshiri understood the arrangement best of all, which is why he could not be bothered to show up to court.
Another day and another invader causing havoc in our country.
Milad Panjshiri, 22, stormed into a supermarket in Bradford, West Yorkshire, wielding a knife, threatening staff and destroying the alcohol aisle.
It's constant!
Get them out!
As MPs consider whether to bring back the Bill for Assisted Dying that fell in the last session - spare a thought for the people who actually care for the dying. Prospect Hospice near Swindon in my constituency is running at half its potential capacity, with 6 beds open rather than 12, meaning they turn away 6 dying people per week. Patients are ending their lives in corridors in Great Western Hospital, 4 miles away, because of a failure to fund end of life care.
Meanwhile over in Devizes Julia’s House, a hospice for the most seriously ill children - including terminally - is scrabbling for money to keep open. The most moving visit I’ve paid as an MP was to Julia’s House: a truly wonderful place, full of sadness and goodness. Yet they only get 8% of their income from the government.
Hospices (a British invention) are the best institutions in the world. It’s great they attract so much philanthropy - long may it continue - but they deliver a service that is clearly healthcare, and the NHS is legally obliged to fund it; but it doesn’t, because there is no definition of what ‘it’ is. The government urgently needs to bring forward minimum standards that local health commissioners must follow in meeting their obligations to fund palliative care.
Only the Ayatollah @BBC could turn a horror story about Afghan fathers selling their little daughters into sex slavery…and make the MEN the victims.
Not one question about why there’s a ready market for child brides and sex slaves in the first place. Too “Islamophobic,” apparently.
Because everyone knows the truth they’re too cowardly to say out loud: Islamic doctrine and culture make this possible. Child marriage is permitted, girls are treated as property, and desperate fathers know they can traffic their own daughters with religious cover.
Real men, decent fathers, would rather die than sell their little girls.
If Western feminists still had an ounce of integrity, they would be burning down the streets over this documentary. But silence is easier when the perpetrators check the “oppressed minority” box and you are too much of a coward to call out Muslims.
Shame on the WHO:
More than ten years later, Ebola is once again a topic that is stirring up considerable attention. The WHO is, of course, once again positioning itself as supposedly leading the fight against the virus.
This is therefore the perfect moment to revisit a purely scientific report that I wrote more than ten years ago, which clearly demonstrates how the incompetent WHO, supported by the equally incompetent Lancet, committed a blunder of historic proportions by vaccinating people during the incubation period according to the so-called ring-vaccination principle.
The catastrophic consequences of this were barely brought to light at the time ─ even though my report reached all relevant global health and regulatory authorities. Instead, the WHO even boasted that the vaccine was 100% effective!
It was a scandal unlike anything I had ever witnessed in my career ─ until it was repeated about seven years later in the context of COVID-19 vaccination, only on a far larger scale!
Despite my repeated requests as Gavi’s Ebola program manager, the WHO pertinently refused ─ under the pretext that those data were confidential ─ to disclose the total number of Ebola-caused deaths, from day one of vaccination onward, in the vaccinated group versus the control group in that pivotal clinical trial.
Anyone who reads this purely scientific account can only conclude that this organization should be dismantled as quickly as possible.

There was an Islamic prayer to open Birmingham City Council’s Annual General Meeting.
This is so wrong and disgraceful.
I’m still yet to see any evidence that proves Sir Jim Ratcliffe wrong.
