Gaza is the most lied about war in history. There was no genocide, no famine, no intentional targeting of children. These are modern-day blood libels. We need to expose all the Islamo-left lowlifes who spread these lethal falsehoods, says Brendan O’Neill

Your 'sprint for clean power' paid for 55GW of wind and solar
But when the chips were down yesterday evening it delivered just 1.5 GW. Less than 3% of what we paid for.
You (and we) are being robbed blind by the green grifters
And here's an excellent explanation of why the grid is in trouble.
Not too technical, so suitable for the general reader
Enjoy! (if that is really the right word)

This is the common misunderstanding about GDP.
You can increase total GDP while making the existing population poorer.
Add hundreds of thousands of people and they rent homes, buy food, take taxis, receive services and generate economic transactions. That increases economic activity and can increase headline GDP.
But if population grows faster than productive output, GDP per head falls. And if some groups consume more in public spending than they contribute in tax, the fiscal position can worsen too.
The question should never simply be “Did GDP grow?”
It should be: Did GDP per person grow? Did productivity grow? Did disposable income grow? And did the taxpayer become better or worse off?
We must stop any government promoting their success with "GDP" and start asking the right questions, is John the carpenter and Janet the teacher with 2.4 children better off?
If you really wanted to be truly despicable today @TheGreenParty … if you wanted to be as disgusting as possible… you could call a Hamas massacre of Jews in October 7th 2023 “events” and the response of Israel to that a “wave of destruction” whilst trying to pretend you care about those murdered, raped and abducted. I mean I’m sure you’d avoid that right after your repulsive “Zionism is Racism” motion?
Oh. You wouldn’t and didn’t? Wow.
Labour’s Home Secretary has admitted that she is letting illegal migrant rapists into Britain.
This weekend, she said in an interview:
“You can almost guarantee that every woman that's in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey”.
Raped by the very same 'asylum seekers' that her government has let in by the tens of thousands.
She is dumping these people in your communities.
At your expense.
Allowed to come and go as they please.
Even paid pocket money by the taxpayer.
They know how dangerous these people are and allow them in anyway.
Only Reform will end this national humiliation for good.
We will detain and deport every single one.
We will put the Royal Navy in the Channel so not one more makes it to our shores.
We will take our country back.
We're now paying almost £1,000/MWh - £994/MWh to Connahs Quay - to keep the lights on in response to this morning's EMN. This is not an efficient way to run the grid.
It is obscene to march on October 7th, a day for respect and silent remembering of some of the most barbarous crimes imaginable.
I am raging.

The whole process behind the drafting of the Islamophobia definition — repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — absolutely stinks.
The Free Speech Union has been warning about this from the start. This was never about tackling genuine incidents of anti-Muslim hostility: existing laws already do that. It was about shamelessly courting the Muslim vote.
We exposed the troubling links between all five members of the Working Group tasked with drafting the definition and Islamist extremist organisations.
We warned that the definition would have a chilling effect on free speech. It has since been weaponised against people who have voiced legitimate criticism of Islam, its history and its practices.
Then it emerged that the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government had deleted all responses to the consultation that informed the final definition.
The Free Speech Union threatened the department with a judicial review unless it revealed who had been allowed to contribute to the consultation. After a considerable delay, and having said that the responses had been deleted, the department has now admitted that they were not.
There is clearly a cover-up at the heart of Government.
Electricity:
Wind has given up ...didn't really feel like playing any time today. It's like that. Fickle, flighty, unreliable.
And solar has gone to bed.
So good old always there Mr Reliable trustworthy Gas is making 54% of our electricity right now.
Which begs the question...why bother with wind and solar at all?
Gas by itself could do the job just fine. And for a lot less investme
Oh look. That thing that never happens has happened again. Four Afghans (three men and a teen) are jailed for raping a 17 year old girl.
There is no information in the public domain that I can find which reveals their immigration status. I wonder why that is. 🤔
They’re letting this student march go ahead on the anniversary of 7 October because stopping it would kick off a bigger public order mess than just letting it happen.
Route conditions and a ban on face coverings aren’t the same as stopping it.
Once the calculation is “enforcing the law might cause more disorder”, the people willing to cause that disorder are the ones setting the rules.
Ancient grains are meant to be one of the ways to avoid folic acid for those that need to (I would suggest that is everyone!)
Here it is in ancient grain bread mix.

@Miatsf At 8:20pm this evening there's virtually no wind, gas and nuclear are powering the country. Your 'clean power' project is a fantasy. It cannot be done. See sense and build new nuclear before your windmills bankrupt us.
