If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.

Catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is the most massive scientific fraud in human history.

When Graham Greene first learned of Evelyn Waugh's death he said it felt as if his commanding officer had died. I feel exactly the same way.

People sometimes ask me why I detest Labour?

Much of that goes back to their destruction of Private Sector Final Salary Pension schemes in 1997.
In 2008, 10 years after Gordon Brown carried out his disastrous ACT Pensions grand larceny by removing tax relief paid to pension funds.
This was found by the Taxpayers Alliance to had cost an average of £17K on every person's pension pot.

In just 10 years, this had cost Private Sector Final Salary schemes £175 BILLION. Hence their closures ever since.

Had this grotesque theft of peoples' pensions not taken place, then the pension system in the UK would be much healthier, without people having to work into their late 60s.🤨

As a final insult, this tax does not raise any money these days anyway because many UK pension funds stopped investing in UK companies, so as to avoid this tax.

All the while Public Sector worked continue to enjoy Final Salary Pensions, paid for by Private Sector workers on smaller DC pensions.
Absolutely obscene.

@SamaHoole So what do they make yogurt from in Greece?

@SartorialThug If I remember correctly you advocated the wearing of normal gentleman’s shoes on board a boat. I pointed out that they are not allowed hence boat shoes and that they are not worn with socks. However no need for a straightener I’m largely on the same page as you on shoes.

@JeremyClarkson In fact it tells you more about the dysfunctionality of the statist bloc we voted to leave, but if you would trade sovereignty for a shorter airport queue then fair play. Been to America recently ?

@JW_Davidson @ClarkeMicah @timothy_stanley Oh that’s ´reasoning’ is it please excuse me. There was me thinking it was specious claptrap.

[Jimmytheface @aveit144]

@JW_Davidson @ClarkeMicah @timothy_stanley Unfortunately stating something as a fact doesn’t make it come true champ.

@SamaHoole If you have gout, are prone to getting gout or don’t want to get gout avoid.

@AllisonPearson @BBCNews Yes v sad. His younger brother Patrick died even younger. At school they were know as Corbally-Stourton, probably wouldn’t have got through the door at BBC if he hadn’t dropped it from the name.

England has suddenly become a Mediterranean country:

We’ve got roasting hot weather, an economy on its arse, a new Prime Minister every six months and a semi-decent football team.

1918: they sold radioactive water as a health tonic. It was radium, and it dissolved men's jaws.

1898: they sold heroin as a children's cough syrup. It was heroin.

1863: they sold cocaine wine as a daily pick-me-up. Popes and presidents put their names to it.

1946: they sold cigarettes on a doctor's recommendation. Whole campaigns ran on which brand physicians preferred.

1960s: they sold margarine as the heart-healthy fat. It was loaded with the trans fat that actually stops hearts.

Every one of these came with an expert's blessing and total confidence.

The people telling you today which fat to fear are the institutional descendants of the ones who put radium in your water and a doctor's face on a cigarette packet.

"The experts recommend it" has a body count going back a century.

I propose that the penalty for senior politicians using the word 'change', abstractly and without a clear context involving {from} and {to} -- i.e. in its normal everyday sense -- should be something quite medieval.

[Jimmytheface @aveit144]

@DavidHollidge No, that would facilitate the function of democracy, and that’s not what they’re about at all.

I’m worried FIFA want an Argentina-France World Cup
final and Wednesday’s match is going to be Red cards night.

Please tell me I’m wrong.

The people in charge know perfectly well that there is no man made climate catastrophe and global warming.
Today, the global temperature is well BELOW the average in the last 500 million years. We are slowly climbing out of a global cooling period, thos should be celebrated!
More CO2 and warmth means MORE LIFE!
But their useful idiot lieutenants in media, politics, academia, think tanks, charities, and NGOs knowingly or unwittingly promote this scam.
As a result of decades of resulting indoctrination and brainwashing, the majority of ordinary folk believe this nonsense too.
So if its not real, why are they promoting this lie?
Well, simples.
"They" make money by the policies they have created, the carbon credits, carbon tax, subsides, green agenda.
But more importantly, they get to blame us for the pollution their rampant parasitical nature has caused AND they get us to give up our freedoms, how much we can travel and where, by what type of vehicle and fuel, what we can eat and how much, pay more for utilities, decrease our quality of life, guilt us into not procreating "too many people in the world" BS.
Finally, we willingly march into our digital prisons, which we also designed and built all because we need to save the planet.
Any so-called global disaster that requires a global solution is simply bullshit and a scam.
