If I say this man is "from a rapey paedo culture", I'm a racist. But he can defend himself in court by saying he's "from a rapey paedo culture". Make it make sense.
It’s a bit rich of the water companies in England threatening hosepipe bans after just a few warm days.
3 billion litres of water every single day is lost through neglected and leaking pipes — that’s roughly one-fifth of the water supply disappearing before it reaches taps.
Since privatisation in 1989, they’ve sold off at least 35 reservoirs for a £26 million profit, while building barely any new ones.
They lecture the public on “saving water” while their own crumbling network haemorrhages billions of litres daily and they asset-strip the very infrastructure needed for water security during dry weather spells.
Fix your leaks. Build new reservoirs. Then come back and talk about hosepipe bans.
Labour now poised to “encourage” farmers to give up beef production and plant lentils to “help combat climate change”
We want meat & we need our farmers to be able to deliver food security to Britain
Stop with the mad net zero mania!
Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.
The Guardian says a study shows Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour. Sounds terrifying until you add scale.
If, for argument's sake, we accept the questionable headline rate, that works out to roughly 263 gigatons lost per year. But Greenland holds 2.8 million gigatons, meaning total loss would take over 10,000 years.
And the study itself adds important context. Much of its newly counted loss comes from glacier retreat in fjords where ice was already below the sea, so it does not raise sea levels in the way the headline implies.
This is how climate fear works: Huge number. No denominator. No time scale. Just blind panic.
I kid you not. Keir Starmer just said at PMQs 'thanks to *my* decisions the country is moving in the right direction'.
He's the most unpopular PM in history and he just resigned because he's incompetent and everyone hates him.
He misled the house again.
All he does is lie.
Every summer we are told Britain is facing “record temperatures”.
Fine. But records are based on relatively short instrumental datasets, the UK-wide series only goes back to 1884.
More importantly, if hotter summers are now the “new normal”, why are governments spending billions trying to change the weather…
…but so little helping people adapt to it?
Where is the mass rollout of cooling in care homes, hospitals, schools and social housing?
Where are grants for shading, ventilation and air conditioning?
If heat is the threat we are told it is, adaptation should be a national priority.
At the moment, the policy looks backwards: lots of money spent on symbolism, not enough spent helping people cope with reality.
Oh right, brilliant… Nissan wants UK taxpayers to subsidise it because it can’t sell enough EVs to hit government targets and avoid a fine.
Taxpayers should never subsidise Net Zero business models or underwrite products consumers don’t want!
There’s no taxpayer benefit 🤡
The BBC says it wants to orientate its News Channel to international rather than British audiences because it can generate revenues internationally. Fair enough. But why should British licence payers pay for it?
⚠️Soon, very soon, all British flag flying could be banned.
Oxfordshire County Council has gone to the High Court to stop people putting St George’s flags on taxpayer-funded infrastructure … and won!
Your land, your towns, paid for by YOU! Every penny spent comes from YOU. But YOU and your views are extremist, so they want your money ..: they also want you to shut up!
The English flag isn’t a political symbol. It isn’t extremist. It isn’t offensive. It is the national flag of England.
Something is just not right about the Burnham thing. It's failing the 'sniff test'.
Now he is being given access to briefings and documents 'as soon as possible'!?
Who is actually behind the installation of Burnham as Prime Minister?
It's certainly not the British people.
This is not a surprise … Labour wants our free press to be state regulated, so you only see ‘trusted’ news.
This is straight from the UN’s “information integrity” playbook!
Governments are NOT the arbiters of truth and a liberal democracy cannot exist with a ‘free’ press serving the state.
Dark times ⚠️
WTF? … Sky News has actually put a helicopter over London to cover Andy Burnham arriving by train…
Like it’s the 2nd coming?
If you ever wonder why trust in the media has collapsed, start here 🤡
For Keir Starmer to portray himself as some sort of victim in all of this and to wang on about his achievements and then fight back the tears during his resignation speech doesn’t deserve any sympathy. He’s been a dreadful Prime Minister. He’s only got himself to blame.
