President Biden: "Today, I was proud to announce […] another critical win both for American workers and the climate agenda. The United States and the European Union have agreed to negotiate the world's first trade agreement based on how much carbon is in a product." pic.twitter.com/0DngaY4e1t
China, Russia, India and Brazil have sense and know that CO2 is life enhancing. Without CO2 plants will die. Too, warmth is good for plants. Its also good for all living creatures.
All in all, the West has committed itself to destroy Life on Earth at the behest of Marxist agitators pretending to be environmentalists.
Without those big polluters, the whole junket is meaningless and any targets they agree upon will only serve to further hobble Western economies, while China, Russia, India, Brazil etc roar ahead and leave us in the dust.
so logically if China and Russia and Brazil won’t come to the table, no amount of economic self-flagellation by the UK or the West is going to achieve anything.
a boycott of Chinese goods is the logical answer but absolutely no-one will have the bottle for that. The alternative supply chains would take years – why, we even rely on them for Lateral Flow Tests!
Thank God China and India will continue to generate inexpensive electricity, and raise hundreds of millions from of poverty and hunger. In conjunction CO2 will continue to give rise to a greener and more pleasant earth worldwide.
Yes, just watched Ashish Joshi reporting on it. He seems to be the first on a plane anywhere to do a commentary – I see Mark Austin is now reporting from a plane over the Amazon. Really ???? I find Joshi’s voice depressing and droning. When he reported from the wards in hospitals during Covid lockdown, – not the sort of chap you’d want at a party.
Interestingly, their two roaming reporters Ramsay and Crawford seem to have both been grounded even though they spend most of their lives on an aeroplane.
… and they have someone specially placed in Kolkata too…
Seems bbc pr as news has a strong Francophile division.
In a nutshell. The price doubled within 3 years, then there was a 9 month delay and the icing on the cake was the French didn't bother to inform the aussies that somebody (China???) had hacked the computers at the company building the subs before the deal was signed
Remember that batty bird who told Harrabin what to write. Or not?
Please delete this tweet Robert.
If you can show me where the Castex lettre says PUNISH, I'll happily withdraw this request.
But stating that they want French citizens to see the UK as proof that leaving the EU is more damaging that staying, is NOT the same as punishing the UK. pic.twitter.com/N371JXWqGu
I’m 100% certain he said Brexit would be bad for everything and is now cherry picking any which he can claim to be true while totally ignoring all the others.
Someone ought to tell the far-left idiot that Brexit is over and to stop whining like a little girl. No wonder Vile loves him.
Meanwhile an ex bbc editor gets excited about manifestos.

The red zone is where Paul can meet Roger to plot the downfall of the West, despite the politicians seem to be doing a bang up job themselves.
At COP26, Green Zone events are where the public can attend – vaccine passports are required. But COP26 Blue Zone events are where the world leaders and key corporate delegates will be congregating – and they are exempt from vaccine passports. Them and us.#COP26pic.twitter.com/XDoZp81efh
Politicians have always been liars. Now they pretend to know about the dynamics of Climate change.
Even the government funded Climate Change scientists are faux scientists, as they are unable to do even basic physical maths to define a real heat exchange problem.
I was just reading that India has had a trial launch of its latest nuclear ballistic missile, designed to deter China, which is busy building hypersonic nuclear missiles. Good to see all that aid money being used wisely isn’t it?
The Moaning Emole is predictably Naff, so rather than the copy pasted quotes every media is churning out, let’s look at what we are all talking about.

Word of the year revealed
There are lots to choose from for this year’s word of the year but unsurprisingly it’s related to the coronavirus pandemic, and one you’ve probably used. Lexicographers at the Oxford English Dictionary have decided vax is the word of the year. It was an obvious choice, says senior editor Fiona McPherson, adding it had made “the most striking impact”. Vax – a vaccine or vaccination – is versatile in forming other words like vaxxie, vax-a-thon, vaxinista and “goes back at least to the 1980s, but it was rarely used until this year,” she says, “it became clear that vax was the standout in the crowd”. Vax or vaxx – the less common spelling – join previous winners including climate emergency, toxic and post-truth.
***
I consider myself fairly broadly read, but few ring any bells.
VAX for me will always be DEC’s range of virtual architecture computers, giving us corporate email for the first time, in the days when a 10 Mb hard drive ‘solved’ the company’s email problems.
Twenty years later we had clowns embedding 10 Mb logos into each email.
Now, once in a while, my trusty ‘vax power 6’ takes a trip around the house carpets.
It has become apparent why certain ideologies see humour as a threat.
Resistance Twitter's "Let's Go Brandon" commentary is violating two key rules of the internet: Godwin's Law about Nazi analogies and Dril's Law about handing it to ISIS. https://t.co/yKzm5RKCZv

The blessed jon snow virtual signaled his commitment to the green religion by saying we need to change because his train north was going slow because of tree branches on the line .
He missed out the bit about it being autumn and stormy and maybe more trees need to be cut down so that people can get to green bashes.
Wow green green green . They had an actress called Lily Collins ( no idea ) who did a full piece about eating vegan and buying used clothes and being green . When I heard it I thought it was a spoof . But she delivered her lines with actor level sincerity and probably passed the approved list green audition …..
This green thing really seems to be evolving quickly into a need for everyone to signal their compliance or be banished ….
….and everything which happened is an adverse effect caused by human emission of carbon dioxide . It’s like some primitive sun worship thing where we need to sacrifice someone to have a successful harvest … maybe that is the correct interpretation of nut nuts ‘ line about the ‘end of civilisation – whispered in his ear by his poisonous nutty current wife ….
2. Margaret Thatcher – they will burn her effigy alongside Guy Fawkes.
Bear in mind that this is not about Climate Change green agenda but the imposition of socialist top down states in the West.
That is why they don’t care about China, as China already have a real one. And Russia, as they had it for 70 years or more, and are now fully immunised.
The Western World will be obliged (forced) to put shoulders to the wheel and the resulting fairy dust will spread around the Globe and solve all our problems and we will live in a land of milk and honey thereafter.
COP 26 The Reality:
Ridiculous strictures will be placed on all successful economies leading to a drastic reduction in the standard of living and the impossibility of competing around the Globe. Meanwhile all those Countries who don’t/can’t/won’t make the grade, eg: India, China, Russia, South America, The Middle East, Africa etc. will be dropped from news reporting so that the MSM can concentrate on whipping the former as hard as possible.
End result… a shifting of wealth and productivity from the successful “green” nations to the underperforming “murky” nations.
Buying products made in the West will become an obscenity or impossibility while buying them from dirty unregulated sweat shops pumping out pollution in third World Countries will mushroom and the number of container ships ploughing to and fro will multiply but this will be swept under the carpet.
The inevitable expanding pollution kicked out by the third World will eclipse any savings made in the West but the UN Global “levelling up or rather dragging down the evil Western World ” dream will become a reality so that’s all right then!
Make no mistake, this is not about having a cleaner planet, it’s about hobbling and trashing the West.
The best way to hobble a country is to regulate its energy supply, and make it a tool of the government. That way one gets socialism, which then destroys the economy.
Socialism – the quickest way to poverty and hunger.
Of course our BBC goes all in, keen as mustard to report every wild claim uttered in the heat of the moment, without an iota of a journalistic editorial thought to question or to qualify:
‘The world is at “one minute to midnight”, having run down the clock on waiting to combat climate change, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said‘
‘The Prince of Wales will tell the COP26 summit that a “war-like footing” is needed to tackle the climate crisis‘
Since when did our national broadcaster become this deferential to the views of Prince Charles and the Tory PM? Does the BBC charter not insist they also represent the views of the plebs – endangered species like car drivers, or chilly hard up householders, how about represent us… just a bit, here and there?
It isn’t only the BBC: ‘Sumit to save the world‘ – exclaims the Daily Mirror above a frontpage pic of: ‘Inferno. Helpless local tries to tackle fire on Greek Island of Evia‘ – combined with the screamer headline: ‘Heat is on‘ – if that were true then they might as well take away our trusty gas boilers and we needn’t worry anymore about soaring energy bills.
Follow the logic – if the Maldives disappears beneath the waves of the melting ice caps then we can simply invite all the Madivians over here. Every refugee is welcome and every immigrant apparently brings a net boost to the economy. We’ll tell them they’re all very welcome and we’re pleased they brought their weather with them.
But we all know, deep down, in our her heart of hearts… to paraphrase less than 50% of former comedy double act diminiative moustachioed Bobby Ball’s catchphase retort to straight man Tommy Cannon: “Rock On, Tommy…”, no, no, not that one. Try: “Deep down, Tommy, you really hate me, Tommy!”
And that, I’m afraid, is a flavour of the distain in which us plebs are regarded. We’re the silly daft buggers who need to be nudged by the Nudge Units. Given tax disincentives to behave, while the elite cop (pun intended) the tax incentives. They are the straightmen who know best how to keep their show on the road.
‘Rolls-Royce in green venture with Qatar‘ (FT)
‘“He’s nothing to me but a dollar sign”: 15 comedy duos who secretly hated each other‘ (Telegraph, 2017): ‘“Deep down you really hate me, don’t yer?” Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball’s catchphase had a grain of truth to it… from 1983-86, the pair never spoke to each other outside of performances and rehersals‘ – funnily enough, politicians rarely speak to us outside of their performances and elections.
The Sun in October 2020 tells us more: ‘As one of telly’s best-loved comedy duos they enjoyed a lavish lifestyle – from driving ‘his and his’ Rolls-Royces and performing to crowds of knicker-hurling fans to relaxing in beachfront mansions in Spain. But things weren’t always rosy for Cannon and Ball – with the former welders battling through a three-year feud and even bankruptcy during their nearly 60 years together’
Knicker-hurling…? Really…? Cannon and Ball…?
The Daily Mail today provides a possible explantion of this most unlikely phenomenon:
‘Menopause brought on brain fog that left me lost for words by Jo Whiley‘ – I think I know how you felt, luv.
‘Oh no, where’s Jeeves? The super-rich staffing crisis‘ – complains The Times.
‘Cowell quits telly role, Wants more family time. Out of the spotlight… Simon is stepping back‘ (The Sun) – let’s be thankful for small mercies.
There’s this massive Glasgow Cop jamboree, gang show, dib-dib-dib, but the not so Left-leaning popular tabloids are not doing their duty, no bob-a-jobbing for the cause, having none of it today on their frontpages.
Although the Daily Star often does tend to fret about the weather: ‘Bang goes bonfire night. Artic blast threatens a washout for fireworks‘ – I’ve said it before, but I would absolutely love it if there’s a bit of snow this week. By the way, what bright spark booked the Cop Global Warming show in Glasgow in November?
The Telegraph tackles the apparent conundrum: ‘Vaping – who is right? How Britain and America are divided on e-cigarettes?‘ – just a sec… I thought we had all those clever public health officials who tell us to follow the science and know exactly what is best for us?
With a bit of luck the eco warriors will continue alienating ordinary punters with their frankly mad actions – one will even manage to get themselves killed and become a ‘climate martyr’ ….. thereby damaging their cause to real people even more as politician try to outgreen each other as they disconnect further from ordinary punters / mugs / us …
Perhaps Mr Bezos might look at the carbon front print of his own business model which has dealt a death blow to any notion of shopping local which of course the POW espouses. Perhaps Mr Bezos could also stop selling anything made in China or India if they refuse to sign up for zero emissions. No I thought not. It’s one rule for us and one for them. Their dictionaries simple don’t have the word hypocrisy in them.
Even if it were possible for Scotland to make a decent fist of independence they could never do it with Nazi Nicola in charge. Despite claiming she is a Scottish Nationalist, she is actually a Nazi who HATES Scotland its culture and its people and who wants to wipe them from the face of the Earth.
She has stated publicly that she wants to flood scotland with migrants from all over the world in a bid to destroy Socttish culture and the countries economy.
If they ever did gain independence England would need to build a hard border as the only way of protecting the country against the wreckage of a neo Nazi government there.
I mean, from India’s point of view, a measly million quid doesn’t buy much of a nuclear ballistic missile does it? But I suppose a million quid does buy Krankie a headline, because she’s worth it.
The safety margin for the West that insulates it from hunger is thick. But not so for Africa. There the margin is thin. Just a 10% downturn in the West will lead to hunger.
On top of a reduced CO2 and huge oil prices, is sure recipe for the old days of viewing starving children.
Have we forgotten those pictures? We dont see tens of thousands starving children anymore. That is a direct consequence of oil powered engines – particularly diesel.
NCBBC, you make important points. “We dont see tens of thousands starving children anymore.”
Don’t forget that is down to increased CO2 – record breaking amounts – helping increase food production in Africa. And aircraft too, NCBBC. The children of a Ghana origin friend of mine, worked in various industries in the UK including tourism, airlines and commercial banking. Two out of four have gone back to their parents’ country of origin to start businesses there.
When the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano erupted in Iceland in 2010, it severely disrupted air traffic around Europe and the UK. There was a farming co-operative in Ghana that was selling surplus fruit and vegetables to the UK via aircraft to, iirc, a wholesaler in the Midlands who then distributed it to customers. That volcanic eruption north of the UK disrupted the income of farmers in Ghana, far south of the UK.
Thank you Up2snuff. The facts you bring up must be broadcast as wide as possible/
Now we have the Archbishop of Canterbury in hysterics over Climate Change. If nothing is done, he posits, then it will be worse then the Holocaust.
First the Archbishop better start to pray on the following issues
1. Long before the supposed predictions on Climate Change come about, UK will be an Islamic country.. His main concern should be that. A historic Christian nation will be no more
2. As the CoE is a leading proponent of homosexual bishops and heaven only knows on transgender issues, he should worry that homosexual bishops will be first for the chop in an Islamic sharia land.
And this is likely in a decade or less.
The AB of CoE seems to have little faith that God’s creation is good. Clearly he does not have faith.
I watch GBN on catch up but yesterday I noticed that the Neil Oliver show wasn’t available but I did eventually find it elsewhere. Mr Oliver has become something of a subversive and tribune of the people over his three month spell on GBN, he casts doubt on many of the establishment’s treasured narratives.
I watched his show and he was highly sceptical about the motivation behind COP 26 as were some of his guests. Whilst he did not directly declare that there was little evidence to support man made global warming he was scathing about the hypocrisy of the elite who preach at us to make do with less whilst continuing to ride high on the hog themselves.
I wonder if that was why his show didn’t appear on the GBN website. Are the GBN bosses afraid of the elite’s reaction at being called out by Mr Oliver?
On the whole the first three months of GBN has been good and they have pushed the boundary further than I expected but are they now approaching what Ofcom, a tool of suppression to be wielded by the liberal elite whenever they feel threatened, will tolerate?
It’s war !meeshal interviews Liz truss over the French enemy . Poor meeshal – working from French government press releases taking on plucky liz – but completely broad sided by our liz telling the French to withdraw threats to cut channel island power supplies and kill British fisherman .
Poor meeshal – when our liz fired here shot the editor shouted in meeshal ‘s ear ‘leave girl it ain’t worth it ‘.
I think the BBC is frightened of our Liz – who may not be a minister for shouty statements like so many others in that toxic red cabinet …
Time for Kate Hoey to ‘cross the floor of the House’ so to speak, Stew? Shame that she has ‘retired’ to the Lords. She seems to be one of the few sensible conservatives left in the UK.
I’ve detected a renewed BBC theme – get some ‘minister ‘ from the 3rd world on – today it was a paki and someone from some pacific islands which may be a fiction …
Anyway – the tactic is to let said minister rattle on about how terrible ‘climate change ‘ is affecting their country – how it is our fault – and give us more Money.
Apparently the pacific islands might disappear – oh well – there are plenty of dinghies ….
By the way – do you notice that the BBC doesn’t cover the use of the wealthy using private jets – which cause more pollution – in proportion to the number of people using them ..?
I really wonder why that might be ?
I wonder if the BBC have a lease on a private jet ?
I realised that all these applied to my ailing relationship with the bbc:
Is it time to call it quits on your marriage? Relationship experts reveal the questions to ask before getting a divorce – and the red flags that can’t be ignored:
You no longer feel the same about each other
You are making each other miserable. One or both parties is no longer willing to make it work or pull out all the stops to make it work
You are stifling each other, want different things. Different outlook on life
You are both pulling in different directions and are no longer willing to compromise or be there for each other
Unfaithfulness which the other party is unwilling to forgive

TOADY Watch – #1 – who are you trying to kid, Mr Khan?
Imran Khan, flying all the way from Islamabad to Glasgow, talks to Mishal Husain about Global Warming and Climate Change. He says developed countries like the UK should pay money to undeveloped countries, such as his own Pakistan. Oh yeah? That claim was not in accord with what Snuffy knew of Pakistan. To be sure, I checked with Wiki (usual disclaimers, may not be accurate, etc., etc.,) before posting and what do I find?
I am correct: like India, Pakistan is a highly developed country.
They have more nuclear power generating stations than the UK. Pakistan has the world’s biggest dam and, I guess, the hydro-electricity plant to go with it. They are also covering their landscape with wind turbines. They seem to have a more comprehensive system of motorways linking their ports. I wonder if they have a shortage of HGV drivers, eh BBC?
The Prime Minister of Pakistan obviously does not know his own country. Maybe if you see him again while you are in Glasgow, Mishal, you could perhaps direct him to the Wiki page for Pakistan.

I was enjoying one of my regular rambles through London yesterday. After a miserable morning the afternoon was glorious. Lovely autumn colours in the parks. Towards the latter stages I always cut through Covent Garden; there are number of decent hostelries in the vicinity and pounding the pavement is thirsty work…
Just opposite one of my favourite little pubs, The Coach and Horses (excellent Guiness) was a chap selling The big Issue. He’s often there, I guess this is his regular spot. He didn’t seem to be having much luck, so being in a charitable frame of mind, I coughed up the £3 and purchased a copy. Ye gods, it’s bloody awful!
Okay, I know we’re in thrall to Cop 26 and all things climactic at the moment, but this was completely OTT. It was three quids worth of unremitting green propaganda.
I’ll give you a few hi-lights…
“Young voices are vital right now”…encouraging juvenile neurotics, like Greta, to become even more hysterical.
Then there’s an appalling, dystopian story, set in 2050, warning of the perils of a burning planet. “Americans who once complained about masking up for coronavirus now cover their faces for fear of destroying their lungs.”
Then they give us a few pages dedicated to Insulate Britain and why it’s imperative that they have to be MORE disruptive. “The time for polite activism is over”.
A little later we’re informed “There is no planet B”.
On page 43 we have “climate change at the movies…” The sorts of films you’d pay not to see and on page 50 there is “an open letter to my supermarket”. This whinge piece is obviously written by some incredibly well heeled climate nut-job who is fretting about plastic wrapping and they’ve printed her letter. “So until you persuade your suppliers that they need to find bio-degradable packaging, I will no longer buy your strawberries, grapes, blueberries…” A typical, greenie, middle-class wally. There are people struggling to make ends meet, FFS get a bleedin’ life.
If you distribute your dodgy PR claims via a newspaper
someone might sue that newspaper.
If you distribute your dodgy PR claims via a The Big Issue
..who is going to sue it ?
I bet the Big Issue gets a lot of free content pushed at it
so it simply publishes it
On bbbc radio newcastle this morning they had a politician on called Ian Lavery.
The complete rubbish he was coming out with was unbelievable, egged on by eager bbbc presenters/disc jockeys.
Did you know that, according to Lavery, a rise of 2.5 degrees will mean that “the globe will no longer exist”
That if we don’t keep the temperature down it will “destroy the world”
This sort of wild over the top crap carried on for ages, the bbbc couldn’t get enough of it.
Many of us are wise to politicians and know that they lie all the time but there are plenty out there, the sort who wear face masks when alone in their cars, the gullible and the children who may well be terrified by all this fantastic exaggerated alarmism.
What does it do to their mental state when people who get over £80,000 (so are presumed to have some intelligence) are coming out with this utter crap.
“One minute to midnight” “Last chance to save the World” and all the other stuff they continuously keep coming out with.
These are supposed to be above normal people yet they spout this at every opportunity.
We never hear the other side though, except on GB News.
Ian Lavery is very lucky with money
He ran a very small union so got a salary
but somehow the union gave him a number of extraordinary transactions which netted him £165K
when had it been just normal redundancy he would have got £20-30K

Exhausting to watch Justin. Shrieking emotion, hand-wringing, body sways, interruptions…. all abit OTT. Great questions, if only you could tone it down a bit?
But unleashing them in waves (first Matt McGrath, now Justin) to harangue a pol who has fallen over himself to deliver insane concessions, in this sector at least, seems the height of derangement up to Timmeh! and his wife above.

When I watched kids under 12 being interviewed about their ‘thoughts’ on climate change, I turned over to the shopping channel !
Anybody on here had any idea what politics were, what sex was all about, or were bothered about the weather (unless it stopped us from playing outside), when we were under 12 ? because I sure as hell wasn’t. These kids seemed to be spouting stuff they heard what the grown ups were talking about, with no real concept, but it made good tele.
Briss, I wouldn’t have dreamt of ‘stealing’ my children’s childhoods by unloading my concerns onto them, or troubling them with ‘doomsday’ scenarios – what kind of a sick and twisted parent does that?
Well done Craig – more meat on the subject than my measly assessment ( see the separate thread ) but I like ‘lists ‘ and tried to condense the flannel down .
Essentially the brief was to demonstrate that the BBC is ‘doing something ‘ whilst never admitting to doing anything wrong yet alone bias .
I suppose I good way to test is to listen to the responses BBC droids give to their ‘feedback’ programme – which until I gave up bothering – thought was the nearest thing R4 got to comedy these days .
I fear that government dependency on the BBC will shroud any attempt at killing it – yet alone removing the compulsory taxation it inflicts on those who still pay for it. But never me
Nut nut bringing down expectations of his cop thing doing much – it can morph into crap and hopefully be the start of his political decline .
I heard that the Chinese boss isn’t even doing a pretence at being involved ‘live ‘. He ll be busy charging around china opening new cold fuelled power stations ….
Unfortunately nut nut still holds a residual affection amongst joe public – who think they know who he is and like the bumbling mr toad act …..
Sooner or later Blighty might get a PM who knows what they are doing ….
Talking of eating, MM, I get the Telegraph free in Waitrose if I spend amore than a tenner, (and I do like Banks’s Barley Gold), and use it to clean the windows, because it’s very good for that!
Now, I’m cooking for myself as Senora O’Blene is in hospital, and delving in the freezer, I found some nice lamb mince, so I thought of cooking that up!
When I opened the DT to get a double page, there was an ad for Sainsbury’s with a recipe for mince and lentils, and began to wonder, but then reading the splurge with it, with all their cringeing usual woke stuff like eating less meat, and using veg like lentils, I thought ‘Stuff this for a game of soldiers, I don’t need some blasted supermarket telling me what to do’, so it’s fabulous full-fat mince, with spuds etc, and s*d the lot of them!
Oh, and the BBC’s coverage of the Cod26 thing has now infected LBC – more’s the pity, I was just getting to like the night-time slots!
The antidote to BBC & LBC COP sycophancy was Mike Graham on TalkRadio , came out guns blazing
(sometimes he is acting )

Green this, green that, green with added green bits. I’m hoping to take my grandson and his dad to Santa Pod raceway next year. As a seven year-old he needs to enjoy these things while we still have them. The conversation will go “Now then Edward, this is a top fuel dragster. It goes from 0 to 330 miles an hour in under four seconds. It’s not too economical though, it will burn around eight gallons of nitromethane in that time”. I wonder if Greta would turn up if I got an extra ticket?
Anyway, get to the point mick. Green matters, the latest star to hitch your wagon to. Here’s what is noticeable – when did you last hear about black lives matter on the BBC?
Excellent – bbc house print sheet reports ‘chaos ‘ at the cop thing with the false president turning up late ( soiled again ) meaning nut nuts ‘ opening speech delayed – keep it up chaps !
Next – a power failure ? …
I hope has they sit down to lunch after Prime Minister Bollocks Johnson has waffled through pages of weather forecasts the delegates and any day visitors will be served only vegan food. Definitely no excellent Scottish beef or lamb and no equally excellent Scottish salmon if wild or farmed.
Just neeps and tatties.
Same for supper tonight.
And the next lunch and dinner.
And for meals throughout the whole Cop conference: just neeps and tatties.
PS: I hope someone has put in a FoI Request for the menu both at Glasgow and also at Gleneagles.

A suggestion of what is needed:
* Gardening daily for all prisoners – life skills, manual labour, exercise, time to reflect
* Persistent weeding as an activity – no pesticides
* Vegan diet – waste into manure?
* Self sustaining where possible on all aspects
* Grow hemp to create own clothes
* Generate own electricity for needs
* Water wheel to bring in water – manual process
* Not much concept of leisure time – work/sleep/think during labour
* Work only in daylight – reduces power consumption
* Goods sold as money – for when released
* Food produced given to prisoners’ own family – a way to provide for them in a big way
* Prisoners given choice between Lazy Prison (current system) and Active Prison (garden, dynamo) http://bright-spark-mark.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-lasting-grand-design.html

Word of the year revealed
There are lots to choose from for this year’s word of the year but unsurprisingly it’s related to the coronavirus pandemic, and one you’ve probably used. Lexicographers at the Oxford English Dictionary have decided vax is the word of the year. It was an obvious choice, says senior editor Fiona McPherson, adding it had made “the most striking impact”. Vax – a vaccine or vaccination – is versatile in forming other words like vaxxie, vax-a-thon, vaxinista and “goes back at least to the 1980s, but it was rarely used until this year,” she says, “it became clear that vax was the standout in the crowd”. Vax or vaxx – the less common spelling – join previous winners including climate emergency, toxic and post-truth.

I consider myself fairly broadly read, but few ring any bells.

COP 26 – The Dream:
The Western World will be obliged (forced) to put shoulders to the wheel and the resulting fairy dust will spread around the Globe and solve all our problems and we will live in a land of milk and honey thereafter.
COP 26 The Reality:
Ridiculous strictures will be placed on all successful economies leading to a drastic reduction in the standard of living and the impossibility of competing around the Globe. Meanwhile all those Countries who don’t/can’t/won’t make the grade, eg: India, China, Russia, South America, The Middle East, Africa etc. will be dropped from news reporting so that the MSM can concentrate on whipping the former as hard as possible.
End result… a shifting of wealth and productivity from the successful “green” nations to the underperforming “murky” nations.
Buying products made in the West will become an obscenity or impossibility while buying them from dirty unregulated sweat shops pumping out pollution in third World Countries will mushroom and the number of container ships ploughing to and fro will multiply but this will be swept under the carpet.
The inevitable expanding pollution kicked out by the third World will eclipse any savings made in the West but the UN Global “levelling up or rather dragging down the evil Western World ” dream will become a reality so that’s all right then!
Make no mistake, this is not about having a cleaner planet, it’s about hobbling and trashing the West.

The ooh, I could crush a grape edition
Of course our BBC goes all in, keen as mustard to report every wild claim uttered in the heat of the moment, without an iota of a journalistic editorial thought to question or to qualify:
‘The world is at “one minute to midnight”, having run down the clock on waiting to combat climate change, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said‘
‘The Prince of Wales will tell the COP26 summit that a “war-like footing” is needed to tackle the climate crisis‘
Since when did our national broadcaster become this deferential to the views of Prince Charles and the Tory PM? Does the BBC charter not insist they also represent the views of the plebs – endangered species like car drivers, or chilly hard up householders, how about represent us… just a bit, here and there?
It isn’t only the BBC: ‘Sumit to save the world‘ – exclaims the Daily Mirror above a frontpage pic of: ‘Inferno. Helpless local tries to tackle fire on Greek Island of Evia‘ – combined with the screamer headline: ‘Heat is on‘ – if that were true then they might as well take away our trusty gas boilers and we needn’t worry anymore about soaring energy bills.
Follow the logic – if the Maldives disappears beneath the waves of the melting ice caps then we can simply invite all the Madivians over here. Every refugee is welcome and every immigrant apparently brings a net boost to the economy. We’ll tell them they’re all very welcome and we’re pleased they brought their weather with them.
But we all know, deep down, in our her heart of hearts… to paraphrase less than 50% of former comedy double act diminiative moustachioed Bobby Ball’s catchphase retort to straight man Tommy Cannon: “Rock On, Tommy…”, no, no, not that one. Try: “Deep down, Tommy, you really hate me, Tommy!”
And that, I’m afraid, is a flavour of the distain in which us plebs are regarded. We’re the silly daft buggers who need to be nudged by the Nudge Units. Given tax disincentives to behave, while the elite cop (pun intended) the tax incentives. They are the straightmen who know best how to keep their show on the road.
‘Rolls-Royce in green venture with Qatar‘ (FT)
‘“He’s nothing to me but a dollar sign”: 15 comedy duos who secretly hated each other‘ (Telegraph, 2017): ‘“Deep down you really hate me, don’t yer?” Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball’s catchphase had a grain of truth to it… from 1983-86, the pair never spoke to each other outside of performances and rehersals‘ – funnily enough, politicians rarely speak to us outside of their performances and elections.
The Sun in October 2020 tells us more: ‘As one of telly’s best-loved comedy duos they enjoyed a lavish lifestyle – from driving ‘his and his’ Rolls-Royces and performing to crowds of knicker-hurling fans to relaxing in beachfront mansions in Spain. But things weren’t always rosy for Cannon and Ball – with the former welders battling through a three-year feud and even bankruptcy during their nearly 60 years together’
Knicker-hurling…? Really…? Cannon and Ball…?
The Daily Mail today provides a possible explantion of this most unlikely phenomenon:
‘Menopause brought on brain fog that left me lost for words by Jo Whiley‘ – I think I know how you felt, luv.
‘Oh no, where’s Jeeves? The super-rich staffing crisis‘ – complains The Times.
‘Cowell quits telly role, Wants more family time. Out of the spotlight… Simon is stepping back‘ (The Sun) – let’s be thankful for small mercies.
There’s this massive Glasgow Cop jamboree, gang show, dib-dib-dib, but the not so Left-leaning popular tabloids are not doing their duty, no bob-a-jobbing for the cause, having none of it today on their frontpages.
Although the Daily Star often does tend to fret about the weather: ‘Bang goes bonfire night. Artic blast threatens a washout for fireworks‘ – I’ve said it before, but I would absolutely love it if there’s a bit of snow this week. By the way, what bright spark booked the Cop Global Warming show in Glasgow in November?
The Telegraph tackles the apparent conundrum: ‘Vaping – who is right? How Britain and America are divided on e-cigarettes?‘ – just a sec… I thought we had all those clever public health officials who tell us to follow the science and know exactly what is best for us?

NCBBC, you make important points. “We dont see tens of thousands starving children anymore.”
Don’t forget that is down to increased CO2 – record breaking amounts – helping increase food production in Africa. And aircraft too, NCBBC. The children of a Ghana origin friend of mine, worked in various industries in the UK including tourism, airlines and commercial banking. Two out of four have gone back to their parents’ country of origin to start businesses there.
When the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano erupted in Iceland in 2010, it severely disrupted air traffic around Europe and the UK. There was a farming co-operative in Ghana that was selling surplus fruit and vegetables to the UK via aircraft to, iirc, a wholesaler in the Midlands who then distributed it to customers. That volcanic eruption north of the UK disrupted the income of farmers in Ghana, far south of the UK.

Thank you Up2snuff. The facts you bring up must be broadcast as wide as possible/
Now we have the Archbishop of Canterbury in hysterics over Climate Change. If nothing is done, he posits, then it will be worse then the Holocaust.
First the Archbishop better start to pray on the following issues
1. Long before the supposed predictions on Climate Change come about, UK will be an Islamic country.. His main concern should be that. A historic Christian nation will be no more
2. As the CoE is a leading proponent of homosexual bishops and heaven only knows on transgender issues, he should worry that homosexual bishops will be first for the chop in an Islamic sharia land.
And this is likely in a decade or less.
The AB of CoE seems to have little faith that God’s creation is good. Clearly he does not have faith.

I watch GBN on catch up but yesterday I noticed that the Neil Oliver show wasn’t available but I did eventually find it elsewhere. Mr Oliver has become something of a subversive and tribune of the people over his three month spell on GBN, he casts doubt on many of the establishment’s treasured narratives.
I watched his show and he was highly sceptical about the motivation behind COP 26 as were some of his guests. Whilst he did not directly declare that there was little evidence to support man made global warming he was scathing about the hypocrisy of the elite who preach at us to make do with less whilst continuing to ride high on the hog themselves.
I wonder if that was why his show didn’t appear on the GBN website. Are the GBN bosses afraid of the elite’s reaction at being called out by Mr Oliver?
On the whole the first three months of GBN has been good and they have pushed the boundary further than I expected but are they now approaching what Ofcom, a tool of suppression to be wielded by the liberal elite whenever they feel threatened, will tolerate?

TOADY Watch – #1 – who are you trying to kid, Mr Khan?
Imran Khan, flying all the way from Islamabad to Glasgow, talks to Mishal Husain about Global Warming and Climate Change. He says developed countries like the UK should pay money to undeveloped countries, such as his own Pakistan. Oh yeah? That claim was not in accord with what Snuffy knew of Pakistan. To be sure, I checked with Wiki (usual disclaimers, may not be accurate, etc., etc.,) before posting and what do I find?
I am correct: like India, Pakistan is a highly developed country.
They have more nuclear power generating stations than the UK. Pakistan has the world’s biggest dam and, I guess, the hydro-electricity plant to go with it. They are also covering their landscape with wind turbines. They seem to have a more comprehensive system of motorways linking their ports. I wonder if they have a shortage of HGV drivers, eh BBC?
The Prime Minister of Pakistan obviously does not know his own country. Maybe if you see him again while you are in Glasgow, Mishal, you could perhaps direct him to the Wiki page for Pakistan.

I was enjoying one of my regular rambles through London yesterday. After a miserable morning the afternoon was glorious. Lovely autumn colours in the parks. Towards the latter stages I always cut through Covent Garden; there are number of decent hostelries in the vicinity and pounding the pavement is thirsty work…
Just opposite one of my favourite little pubs, The Coach and Horses (excellent Guiness) was a chap selling The big Issue. He’s often there, I guess this is his regular spot. He didn’t seem to be having much luck, so being in a charitable frame of mind, I coughed up the £3 and purchased a copy. Ye gods, it’s bloody awful!
Okay, I know we’re in thrall to Cop 26 and all things climactic at the moment, but this was completely OTT. It was three quids worth of unremitting green propaganda.
I’ll give you a few hi-lights…
“Young voices are vital right now”…encouraging juvenile neurotics, like Greta, to become even more hysterical.
Then there’s an appalling, dystopian story, set in 2050, warning of the perils of a burning planet. “Americans who once complained about masking up for coronavirus now cover their faces for fear of destroying their lungs.”
Then they give us a few pages dedicated to Insulate Britain and why it’s imperative that they have to be MORE disruptive. “The time for polite activism is over”.
A little later we’re informed “There is no planet B”.
On page 43 we have “climate change at the movies…” The sorts of films you’d pay not to see and on page 50 there is “an open letter to my supermarket”. This whinge piece is obviously written by some incredibly well heeled climate nut-job who is fretting about plastic wrapping and they’ve printed her letter. “So until you persuade your suppliers that they need to find bio-degradable packaging, I will no longer buy your strawberries, grapes, blueberries…” A typical, greenie, middle-class wally. There are people struggling to make ends meet, FFS get a bleedin’ life.
Still, the Guiness was nice…

This sort of wild over the top crap carried on for ages, the bbbc couldn’t get enough of it.
Many of us are wise to politicians and know that they lie all the time but there are plenty out there, the sort who wear face masks when alone in their cars, the gullible and the children who may well be terrified by all this fantastic exaggerated alarmism.
What does it do to their mental state when people who get over £80,000 (so are presumed to have some intelligence) are coming out with this utter crap.
“One minute to midnight” “Last chance to save the World” and all the other stuff they continuously keep coming out with.
These are supposed to be above normal people yet they spout this at every opportunity.
We never hear the other side though, except on GB News.

Ian Lavery is very lucky with money
He ran a very small union so got a salary
but somehow the union gave him a number of extraordinary transactions which netted him £165K
when had it been just normal redundancy he would have got £20-30K
The regulator wrote a report but declined to prosecute.

That the BBC hires nothing but hive whack job activists to ensure entire categories of story narrative are consistent is not news.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/bbcs-justin-rowlatt-loses-it/
But unleashing them in waves (first Matt McGrath, now Justin) to harangue a pol who has fallen over himself to deliver insane concessions, in this sector at least, seems the height of derangement up to Timmeh! and his wife above.

When I watched kids under 12 being interviewed about their ‘thoughts’ on climate change, I turned over to the shopping channel !
Anybody on here had any idea what politics were, what sex was all about, or were bothered about the weather (unless it stopped us from playing outside), when we were under 12 ? because I sure as hell wasn’t. These kids seemed to be spouting stuff they heard what the grown ups were talking about, with no real concept, but it made good tele.

Well done Craig – more meat on the subject than my measly assessment ( see the separate thread ) but I like ‘lists ‘ and tried to condense the flannel down .
Essentially the brief was to demonstrate that the BBC is ‘doing something ‘ whilst never admitting to doing anything wrong yet alone bias .
I suppose I good way to test is to listen to the responses BBC droids give to their ‘feedback’ programme – which until I gave up bothering – thought was the nearest thing R4 got to comedy these days .
I fear that government dependency on the BBC will shroud any attempt at killing it – yet alone removing the compulsory taxation it inflicts on those who still pay for it. But never me

Talking of eating, MM, I get the Telegraph free in Waitrose if I spend amore than a tenner, (and I do like Banks’s Barley Gold), and use it to clean the windows, because it’s very good for that!
Now, I’m cooking for myself as Senora O’Blene is in hospital, and delving in the freezer, I found some nice lamb mince, so I thought of cooking that up!
When I opened the DT to get a double page, there was an ad for Sainsbury’s with a recipe for mince and lentils, and began to wonder, but then reading the splurge with it, with all their cringeing usual woke stuff like eating less meat, and using veg like lentils, I thought ‘Stuff this for a game of soldiers, I don’t need some blasted supermarket telling me what to do’, so it’s fabulous full-fat mince, with spuds etc, and s*d the lot of them!
Oh, and the BBC’s coverage of the Cod26 thing has now infected LBC – more’s the pity, I was just getting to like the night-time slots!

Funny how the media never call it the “CO2 Austerity plan”
Labour have spent the last 10 years saying it’s wrong to say a country has to live within its means,
but now it’s CO2 austerity the poor have to suck it up
whilst the elite write themselves Carbon Indulgence certificates.

Green this, green that, green with added green bits. I’m hoping to take my grandson and his dad to Santa Pod raceway next year. As a seven year-old he needs to enjoy these things while we still have them. The conversation will go “Now then Edward, this is a top fuel dragster. It goes from 0 to 330 miles an hour in under four seconds. It’s not too economical though, it will burn around eight gallons of nitromethane in that time”. I wonder if Greta would turn up if I got an extra ticket?
Anyway, get to the point mick. Green matters, the latest star to hitch your wagon to. Here’s what is noticeable – when did you last hear about black lives matter on the BBC?

I hope has they sit down to lunch after Prime Minister Bollocks Johnson has waffled through pages of weather forecasts the delegates and any day visitors will be served only vegan food. Definitely no excellent Scottish beef or lamb and no equally excellent Scottish salmon if wild or farmed.
Just neeps and tatties.
Same for supper tonight.
And the next lunch and dinner.
And for meals throughout the whole Cop conference: just neeps and tatties.
PS: I hope someone has put in a FoI Request for the menu both at Glasgow and also at Gleneagles.

Dear Darren Henry,
Do you know about the following which will have a big impact on the World’s climate and our future planet?
China allows three children in major policy shift
Published 31 May (BBC)
– Large population growth China currently has 1.4 billion people at present.
China’s Monster Three Gorges Dam Is About To Slow The Rotation Of The Earth
Cutler Cleveland , The Energy Watch Jun 18, 2010, 2:23 PM (Business Insider)
– Rotation of the Earth can change weather patterns and climate.
China is the largest developing country in the world. China is still considered a developing country based on the criteria of the World Bank and the United Nations. (World Atlas)
– Thus China can get cheap loans and be exempt from impositions put on developed countries.
China has banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country, its television and radio regulator announced on Thursday. 12 February (BBC)
– I guess you if you cannot report on a Country then it can do no wrong.
Did you know about the above and if not then what are you opinions on them and their impact on the World?
Yours sincerely,
Mr H

Hi enquiries@extinctionrebellion.uk,
Rather than glue your faces to the streets and waste glue here are two ideas you could promote at road sides … might be a more positive way to protest rather than jump in front of cars, yet possibly less thrilling.
An example is a wine bottle, rather than use it and then put it into a recycle bin where it is broken down and then reformed into another bottle (but less pure) why not send the bottle back to the original supplier who can reuse it?

For prisoners we have failed them, for society we have taxed them and for families we have removed hope from them.
A suggestion of what is needed:
* Gardening daily for all prisoners – life skills, manual labour, exercise, time to reflect
* Persistent weeding as an activity – no pesticides
* Vegan diet – waste into manure?
* Self sustaining where possible on all aspects
* Grow hemp to create own clothes
* Generate own electricity for needs
* Water wheel to bring in water – manual process
* Not much concept of leisure time – work/sleep/think during labour
* Work only in daylight – reduces power consumption
* Goods sold as money – for when released
* Food produced given to prisoners’ own family – a way to provide for them in a big way
* Prisoners given choice between Lazy Prison (current system) and Active Prison (garden, dynamo)

Hope you like them, other FREE ideas are available on the website.
Cheers,
Mr H
