BTW If you build anything you increase the world’s oil and gas consumption.
If you build one gas power station you need concrete and steel.
If you build a solar/wind farm that makes the same amount of electricity in a year , you’ll use about 100 times more concrete and steel.
.. So you will vastly increase this years oil/gas demand.
I was watching GBnews this evening for the first time over an extended time (usually just 10-15 minutes) and have to say it is nice to spend a couple of hours actually enjoying a news channel.
Contrast the bBBC where I would be ranting at the blatant propaganda and misinformed bile that they spew out endlessly before rapidly reaching for the off button.
Just watched the Beth Rigby Interview with Boris the bottler on Sky, and what a pair of vile individuals!
She asked about a no fly zone completely oblivious to the reality this would a) require Nato approval and b) That Putin would almost certainly vapourise the UK with Nuclear weapons, which Boris completely failed to asnwer in an adequate manner.
She then asked the most horrific question I think I’ve ever heard, as to whether the killing of mothers children and babies pricked his concience and kept him awake at night!
As if it’s the fault of the British PM !
A courageous PM would have told her where to get off, but Boris being a coward carried on as if it was a normal question.
He was asked as to what he thought might be the way Putin could extract himself from the war and all Boris could say was that it has to be his (Putins) decision. When pressed on how a face saving exit could be offered, all he did was repeat the answer.
He also said that he has no intention of finding alternative fuels for power generation, he spoke again about nuclear power, but Rigby failed to press him on time. He comitted to using even more gas if he can find it.
All in all, she didn’t have a clue what she was talking about, and he failed to respond appropriately to questions which were clearly beyond the pale.
Boris seems to have instructions
“If a woke journo asks you a dumb question, on no account should you confront them, make sure you act subservient to the wokes”
Stew
Journos know they can get away with bullying and interrupting politicians as they will not defend themselves, especially when their victims are Tory ones – Labour/SNP etc always get an easy ride. They need to take control away from the journos and fight back instead of looking like rabbits caught in the headlights – DT knew exactly how to put them in their place as amply demonstrated in the clip posted earlier today.
For those of a nervous disposition and who missed Mark Steyn’s excellent but chilling piece tonight, would strongly recommend you do not look at a re-run. He covered in depth the alleged bio labs in Odessa and interviewed this guy who 3 years ago ran a war games scenario between NATO and Russia over an Eastern European dispute (may even have been Ukraine) which had only one outcome – it ended in MAD – mutually assured destruction with a billion dead.
I’ll be first in the queue tomorrow morning at my local builders merchant to order a ton of sand and cement with my plans to build a nuclear fall out shelter – useful to keep out radiation and those anthrax spores from the labs.
Even if the worst happened the beeb would still have as their headline news – pressure grows on Boris to resign because of partygate.
I think they put some professionals in the GBNews control room for Steyn . I just hope who ever did it Wednesday is now researching the Russian army outside Odessa ….
13 US funded bio research labs in Ukraine – started by Obama to avoid dirty work on US soil …
On your recommendation I just watched it and it is truly alarming. If all of this was said in the US congress in open session under oath just earlier this week I assume that it is true.
The US has labs doing highly dangerous biological scattered throughout Ukraine. God help us if a bomb or shell hits one of them or some Russian squaddies storm one of them without realising what it actually is. Or Putin deliberately accidentally on purpose targets them. I assume that Zelensky could also threaten to blow them as a last resort.
No more need be said about nuclear. The whole thing is stomach churning. The points about the impact of sanctions on Russia being as catastrophic for them as military defeat is also scary.
Clearly this makes it ever more important that a peaceful way out of this is found before any further escalation happens or either leader is forced into a corner.
Assuming we all make it through the next month or two, I wonder how long Mark Steyn will be allowed on the UK airwaves. He is demolishing the reputation of the International Blob single-handedly . They aren’t going to like it. Closing him down may be the least that they might do to him.
Double
I can’t see mark Steyn broadcasting in the UK for too much longer. He must be at the top of the MSM target list and if he does break the ‘approved view ‘ bigly I’m sure that the BBC twitter army and combined wokes will hit him in every way – from door stepping to the personal stuff (if there is any ).
There must be great concern about somebody refusing to play the MSM game . And he is a reminder that once upon a time broadcasting was ‘plural ‘ and sometimes even a bit ‘Right’.
Those in the MSM must be alarmed that the same message pumped out by a variety of colours and sexes can be challenged – even for 1 hour 4 nights a week …
People are surprised the NFFPO Not Fit For Purpose Office isn’t efficient at vetting and giving visas to Ukrainians who have sponsors in the UK

https://order-order.com/2022/03/10/lee-anderson-wins-high-court-case-against-google/
In the comments there is an interesting discussion about the wording of the BBCnews article.
#1 MP is defamed by Google advert calling him a paedophile protector
#2 Instead of Google fessing up
he has to spend 1 year suing them
#3 Google offer settlement terms
And the BBC title is “Lee Anderson: MP settles with Google over child abuse advert”
FFS he’s not really the settler .. it’s Google who caved in and offered terms
#4 Google is still protecting the name of the person/org that PAID them for the defamatory advert.
According to https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/google-settles-mps-libel-claim-over-defamatory-advert/5111810.article the ad was “linked to a ‘fringe campaign group’ called Keeping Kids Safe.”
And who are they a FRONT for ?
Cheers I checked these accounts and found nothing tweeted about MP or Anderson
– @keeping_kids, @keepingkidsafe, @KKS4TheKids, @kks_uk
Ah concrete evidence
Google finds a webpage with claims against Anderson
https://keepingkidssafe.org.uk/false
that page won’t load.https://web.archive.org/web/20210218000440/https://keepingkidssafe.org.uk/2020/12/the-real-fact-truth-ashfield-mp/

There is a discussion on the group’s Facebook page where they say the MP lied.
A person asks for evidence
And then says..that the perps partner said they were being harassed by anti-paedophile groups , and made specific allegations against the KKS guy, those allegations might be a lie, but it was not the MP who made the allegations, so he isn’t lying.
On Twitter @FrippsPaddyis named as the groups founder
His account is suspended.
He’s about 34
I see people giving his real name and location
Others shout “EDL, grifter” etc.
dunno if those are smears or true.
I wrote yesterday about my opinion that the Ukrainian hospital bombings looked very fake. It seems I was not alone.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/russia-ukraine-hospital-bomb-twitter-b2033340.html
I think whatever the nasty stuff happening and I am sure Russia is not entirety innocent there is little doubt that the Ukrainians are using west attracting false and staged propaganda to support their cause.
In which case can we trust anything they say?

Normally the R4’s Briefing Room spends its time attacking Trump and Boris
but last night’s edition on Putin was different.
Their panel of experts seemed to say Putin has bitten off more that he can chew.
Their claims
– Ukraine army has spend years building a disciplined well paid army.
– Russia doesn’t have a huge well equipped army
Instead it has a few divisions that are good and well equipped and then a majority that aren’t
– Troops thought they were just on border exercises, so didn’t bother about maintenance of the equipment and had maybe sold stuff for money.
– Russian law says that conscripts are not allowed to be sent into action..Putin has broken this ..some mothers are speaking up.
– The conscripts are poor working class, the middle class buy themselves out of it.
– City youth are aware what’s going on, but Putin doesn’t care. He only cares about his base the old and rurals, they are right behind him .. except the conscripts mothers.
Earlier on GB news the head of Ukraine’s foreign legion made it clear they don’t accept Nato soldiers who deserted.
‘One guy turned up, we put him on a plane back’.
‘We can’t have nato soldiers, fighting with us, cos the politics of that put us in a very dangerous situation’

I don’t want to be picky but could Labour explain how they are going to select their women only short list for candidates in future?
My understanding of their position on gender is that anyone can choose their gender regardless of their biological sex ( such an outdated concept) . So are Labour now declaring that women only shortlists refer to the chosen gender of someone rather than their equipment?
Additionally, could Labour explain why , if as they claim there are more than two genders , they intend to exclude all those with chosen genders except one , woman, from their short list of candidates?
Surely it would be far less discriminatory if they allowed candidates of any chosen gender to be on their shortlists . In that case why is the chosen gender of a potential candidate of any interest to anyone?

If we make the assumption that things in the US are really in the hands of Obama and the gang – I wonder how they will react when directly challenged by Putin ?
Judging that Obama has previous on moving ‘red lines ‘ that current line about ‘defending NATO ‘ might not be as real as said ….
… that has to be in the mind of Putin …but not for discussion on the MSM because Obama /Biden Can Do No Wrong …

U.S. government involvement
Knowledge and co-responsibility of the U.S. government has been debated. Whereas some claim complete lack of information to the White House, other scholars have claimed U.S. knowledge and involvement. German historian [[{{{1}}}]] [] has stated:
The work of the US advertising agency for the Kuwaiti carried the signature of the White House in a certain way. President Bush was briefed by Fuller on every single step. Whether he also gave his personal consent for the baby story, however, cannot be proven. What remains, however, is that close personal contacts existed between the US government and an agency that had demonstrably given birth to lies. The same agency was even directly employed by the US government in another context.[42]

Great news on the economy this morning with growth figures far better than predicted and expected. Most news outlets stating the growth is great news with most sectors growing.
BBC Radio’s take on figures..” economy grew but recession may still be around the corner”…
You can imagine the BBC being a hypothetical person winning the lottery…”wow !! I’ve won 11 million on the lottery but I’m really sad because I wanted 11.25 million”
economy grew – war with Russia, MPS get £2k pay rise, jobs such as delivering unhealth food to people’s doors on the rise, NHS £80K diversity managers, National Insurance rise, petrol rise, heating rise, Elon Musk giving up on green, Saudi with 100K tents in the desert empty ….
….and.!!!! What’s your comments got to do with the BBC…
My comments are reflecting the BBC’s take on the news..
Thought that was the whole idea of this site…

It’s nice to have the occasional comment about the BBC ….
Talking of which – I hear that the Comic Relief thing is next Friday . I wanted to see what they spend their money on – 10 million goes on staff – the ceo gets £500k … last year a lot of money went on ‘gender justice’ and African racial equality . …
….
My estimate is £1 in £7 goes on pay / admin …..
In view of the needs of Ukraine – will the ‘income ‘ ( that’s what they call ‘charity ‘ all go to Ukraine – or will it still be syphoned off to buy BMWs in Africa …?
Comic Relief seems to assume a certain income each year … but maybe this time it won’t get or deserve much …Lenny won’t be happy …
..Fedup2 …
Sadly we as a family no longer get involved in Comic relief. Like most good causes they start off meaning well but soon get taken over by self righteous the sun shines out of my arse do gooders..

Marky – I have a ‘thing ‘ about self serving charities . I spent some time looking at the accounts for last year ….
…..if the good people who give their taxed money to that outfit knew where their cash was going I think they’d think again .
That the BBC broadcasts the enterprise evidences the social bias of the broadcaster ….
I hope the money goes to Ukraine now – particularly funding the work of countries such as Poland which seems to be doing a good job … must be painful considering their history with evil Russia
I’d given up swearing at the television since I stopped watching the bbc. My alarm goes off around 5.50 and I like to have GB news on to listen to the national anthem at 6.00. All good so far. Now the news. “We are at a refugee centre in Hungary; most of the new arrivals are still resting, but we have mohammed, originally from syria but he’s just arrived from Odessa”.
“Oh feck off” Click.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/articles/thepopularityofthenamemuhammadmohammedmohammad/2016-09-02
We do not have a definitive answer for why the variations of the name Muhammad have generally risen up the rankings over time, but there are some possible explanations.
1. The increasing size of the Muslim community in England and Wales
2. The dominance of the name in the Muslim community combined with increased diversity in names for baby boys
3. The possible increased dominance of the name in the Muslim community
4. The possible effect of popular sporting figures with the names Muhammad and Mohamed
The term such as ‘increased dominance‘ is odd, when in maths you could use the term ‘increased occurrence’ instead.
dominance – power and influence over others
occurrence – the fact or frequency of something happening
Words do have meanings and some are more emotive than others.

Pulp fiction edition
In football the referee will tend to call a foul if you play the man and not the ball.
Of course there’s no referee, no action replays and certainly no VAR governing Government or media these days.
‘Blood on his hands‘ is the Times headline: ‘Ministers say Roman Abramovich is “complicit” with Putin as Britain becomes first country to sanction him‘
The accusation of accessory before the fact is given a pretty wide definition as detailed in the Daily Mirror: ‘Abramovich cashed in on his relationship with Putin for decades… & his steel firm may have helped build tanks killing Ukrainian kids‘
Journalism is ideally based on the classic mantra of the five Ws – Who, What, Where, When and Why of a story. Meanwhile, we’re now more often considering that latter day favourite media tropes – “may” “might” “could”…
‘Russia could use chemical weapons, warns PM‘ (Times)
Surely at least our peace-loving leftist Guardian will call out lying Boris for this speculative warmongering and – if somehow vaguely familiar – rhetorical flight of fancy? Maybe they could, if their boy Blair hadn’t so muddied the WMD waters.
‘Chelsea in crisis‘ (Guardian) – in the way of a tabloid the Gruan puts the sport as almost a bigger story than Ukraine itself.
Fans of Quentin Tarantino movies will recognise the phrase “I’ma gonna git medieval on your ass”
‘“Medieval conditions” in a city under constant attack‘ (Guardian) – think of it… no electricty, no gas for heating, petrol at prices last seen in the film Mad Max, no medical care, hospitals overwhelmed, broken infrastructure, crime gangs able to roam free in the streets, paper money worthless, shops stripped of food and vital supplies such a loo roll… martial law – blimey, it would be a bit like Lockdown.
Speaking of Pulp Fiction: ‘Jussie Smollett sentenced to 150 days in jail in attack hoax case… after a jury found he lied to police about being the victim of a hate crime‘ (BBC)
And, sadly, on the subject of black men misremembering: ‘Samuel L Jackson My Worries about Alzheimer’s – it runs in the family‘ (‘i’)
Jackson is a much admired actor who could convincingly play the tough guy. Whereas: ‘Michael Bublé Easygoing? No I’m a dramtic bitch‘ (‘i’)
But now we’ve wandered way off topic. Back to the football…
‘Skintski. Chelsea could go bust as Roman hit‘ – we’ll allow the Sun their speculative “could” for the moment: ‘Ban on selling players & tickets. Sponsors pull out amid fan fears‘ – I’m not clear what fans “fear” exactly?
Meanwhile, some fans are apparently still keen to keep politics out of their sport: ‘Travelling fans at Carrow Road chanted the name of Roman Abramovich hours after it was announced Chelsea’s Russian owner had been sanctioned by the UK government‘ (BBC) – get with the programme, you Chelsea boys, all the fans of your Premier League rivals are keen to see your owner sanctioned.
‘British public to be asked to take in refugees‘ (Telegraph) – I’m expecting the house cartoonist Matt to draw an eager husband introducing his dubious missus to the newly arrived nubile dolly bird refugees Anastasiya and Ludmila, he’s moving in to occupy a bed in his suburban garden shed.
Speaking of Matt, the Daily Star shamelessly pinches his joke of last week as their headline: “I’ve checked the bank balance and we can either fill the car with petrol or buy Chelsea” – surely there is some form of copyright on cartoon captions?
‘More cartoons as BBC targets working class‘ (Telegraph) – no, the BBC haven’t made a TV series based on Andy Capp the Mirror’s veteran pub-going, work-shy, flat-capped carton strip character – to explain – the BBC have asked Ofcom (considering the number of ex-BBC staff at that useless regulator – that’s akin to asking oneself) if they can show less original programming, such as drama, on CBBC, and instead air more cheap dumbed-down animated trash for the kids. ‘Cos that’s what the prols enjoy, innit, doh.
Are you getting the feeling that these sanctions are a somewhat double-edged sword?
‘Putin takes revenge on West. Russia warns of soaring global food prices as inflation could top 9.5%‘ (Daily Express – “united with the people of Ukraine“)
‘Vladimir Putin threatened to seize the assets of foreign companies that have shut down Russian operations‘ (FT)
Significantly, it is the Germans, softened (or if you prefer – made so much wiser) by their decades of post-war prosperity, who are now feeling a bit uneasy about all this expensive war posturing: ‘Volkswagen’s chief said a prolonged war has potential to create greater economic damage than the pandemic‘ (FT)
‘Blood on his hands‘ is the Times headline: ‘Ministers say Roman Abramovich is “complicit” with Putin as Britain becomes first country to sanction him‘
… all those paying for Chelsa are funding the WAR!

Some Asian “Refugees” love babies. Is it a girl?…………
We all know Mr Cumberbatch is a hypocrite , this is merely further confirmation of that fact. I too considered taking an immigrant but found that the loo couldn’t be easily converted into a prayer room so with regret I was forced to abandon the idea.

An experiment by the civil rights group Big Brother Watch has proved that politicians are walking into an anti-free speech trap that would censor their own comments. The government is intent on pressing ahead with the Online Safety Bill – set to be published next week – creating a new category of regulated “legal but harmful” speech which would hit the very politicians forcing through the change. They will be censored by their own legislation.
Using dummy accounts Big Brother Watch posted historic comments to Facebook which had been made Boris, Nadine Dorries and Angela Rayner, all three of which were removed for being offensive: Boris’s ‘burka letter boxes’ column quote; Nadine’s “nail your balls to the floor” tweet; and Raynor’s “shoot your terrorists and ask questions second” joke.

Max Miller, the “Cheeky Chappie” of Britain’s music hall, liked to say that the great thing about comedy was that it was the only job where if you’re really bad at it nobody laughs at you. The dead hand of the demographically exhausted German state is taking it to a whole other level:
The German government has approved a criminal inquiry into a comic who mocked the Turkish president, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced.
By law, the government must approve any use of an article of the criminal code on insulting foreign leaders.
Mrs Merkel stressed that the courts would have the final word.

“Ukraine war: People can welcome refugees into own homes – PM”
Empty the hotels and flats that house the faux refugees that come across the Channel in their thousands over the last five years thanks to the Border Farce and Home Office .
Britain has spent about half a million pounds in the past year storing small boats used by migrants to cross the Channel, according to internal government estimates. Legislation requires the state to keep the boats for 12 months in case an owner comes forward to claim them.7 Aug 2021
Taffman,
A Government cunning plan in the making?
Whatever happened to the legal efforts to remove individual council tenants from properties too large for them? ‘Enforced downsizing’ for council renters if I’m not very much mistaken.
To do similar to freehold/leasehold properties may prove a little more difficult for Government but, it is the only option to offer more housing stock for Syrians, Iraqis, Africans, Chinese, (and all the rest on the long list). Enforced downsizing for, “The Englishman’s Home is his Castle”. I loved the expression used by Prof. Kevin Gray in his classic text, ‘Elements of Land Law’, he referred to the Freeholder as being the, “Head Tenant” to the Crown.
After all, we cannot build (as already pledged) thousands of new homes, create thousands of acres of woodland and still retain farming so as to produce 60% of our own food. It just doesn’t add up so I’ll call it, Bull*h*t.
For what’s about to become a reality, I thought this chart of comparative land masses of European countries helpful.
https://www.thoughtco.com/countries-of-europe-by-area-1434587
By Area, Largest to Smallest
The following is a list of the countries of Europe arranged by area. Various sources may differ in size of a country’s area due to rounding, whether the original figure is in kilometers or miles, and whether the sources include overseas territories. Figures here come from the CIA World Factbook, which presents figures in square kilometers; they have been converted and rounded to the nearest number.
Russia: 6,601,668 square miles (17,098,242 sq km)
Turkey: 302,535 square miles (783,562 sq km)
Ukraine: 233,032 square miles (603,550 sq km)
France: 212,935 square miles (551,500 sq km); 248,457 square miles (643,501 square km) including overseas regions
Spain: 195,124 square miles (505,370 sq km)
Sweden: 173,860 square miles (450,295 sq km)
Germany: 137,847 square miles (357,022 sq km)
Finland: 130,559 square miles (338,145 sq km)
Norway: 125,021 square miles (323,802 sq km)
Poland: 120,728 square miles (312,685 sq km)
Italy: 116,305 square miles (301,340 sq km)
United Kingdom: 94,058 square miles (243,610 sq km), includes Rockall and Shetland Islands
Turkey is in Asia, although a small part of it is in Europe. Who ever wrote that didn’t know much about geography.
ENGLAND; (130,279 sq km)
e.g. about the same size as Greece
Population of ENGLAND ~56 million
Population of Greece 10.7 million

Campaign highlights Kinnocks’ £10m EU earnings
NEIL and Glenys Kinnock came under fire from critics last night as details of their estimated £10m European earnings were calculated by a pressure group.
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/campaign-highlights-kinnocks-10m-eu-2100178
It worked out their salaries and perks included:
A total of £775,000 in wages for Mrs Kinnock and £1.85m for her husband, adding up to £2,625,000;
Allowances for Mrs Kinnock’s staff and office costs of £2.9m;
A £64,564 “entertainment allowance” for Lord Kinnock;
A total of five publicly-funded pensions, worth £4.4m, allowing them to retire on £183,000 a year;
Now do the corruption allegations about Stephen Kinnock and his wife the ex-PM of Denmark
How he claimed to be living in Switzerland and thus escaped Danish property taxes etc.
Taxes are for you! Not them! HA HA HA HA HA!
I have mentioned this here before, but for any viewers of University Challenge it’s worth looking out for each week the super woke round of questions (sometimes more than one round) specially asked to fulfil some sort of diversity agenda.
This week it was a round dedicated to some obscure black people. Needless to say none of the otherwise brilliant teams could answer any of these questions or had even heard of those concerned so could only respond by saying pass.
And this happens every week. Sometimes it’s about unworthy feminists, but mostly dedicated to black folk of next-to-zero merit.
As a result, the entire programme is becoming a joke.
TS,
That the brilliant teams had no idea, should be welcomed as side lining the ‘woke’ to the fringes of knowledge.
Question for all of them….
Q.1) Are all cultures equal? YES|NO
Q.2) Should Charles James Napier have let India’s Suttee to continue – widows jump onto fires when their husbands die to kill themselves? YES|NO
Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO
Q.4) If Charles James Napier had NOT stopped India’s Suttee and it cotinued in 2018, would you allow Indians moving to Britain to still practice Suttee as part of their culture in 2018?
Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO
“Be it so. This burning of widows (India/suttee) is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

Could ask the same question about allowing the Thugee cult of the Goddess Kali strangling travellers as they went about their business.
It’s almost every Production now by most of the channels. Antiques, soaps, hospital stuff, cookery, you name it are all becoming unwatchable by normal people as the obligatory POC and LGBT etc appear on every one in saturation mode. Of course if you live in parts of Londonistan where the producers all live this probably seems perfectly normal.
Doctors afternoon edition yesterday had 2 Asian plasterers who were being bullied by the (white) site manager to finish the job to the point where one of them suffered a heart attack, the Asian doctor arrived from nowhere and threatened the white gaffer guy with legal action to the cheers of all the other various Asians standing around.
You couldn’t make this shit up! But they do!
Completely agree. Have you noticed that a completely white British team is now a rarity. Also classical music questions have almost disappeared and that there always questions about African countries and their flags.

So Facebook and Instagram have finally come 100% clean over their political bias. Apparently they are to lift their block on any post calling for violence against Russian troops. (But not the other way round).
I cannot begin to tell you how low they are in my estimation now. It also explains much about the US election and the 6th July charade.
It is actions like this that have led to the conflict.

A 2015 study indicated that such manipulations could shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more and up to 80 percent in some demographics. The study estimated that this could change the outcome of upwards of 25 percent of national elections worldwide.

appy International Women’s Day! To mark this auspicious occasion, the Radio 4 programme Woman’s Hour today hosted a conversation between presenter Emma Barnett, former Home Secretary Amber Rudd and the Labour shadow minister for women and equalities, Anneliese Dodds.
Unfortunately, amid all the amicable chatter about why Dodds’ post does not have a full-time dedicated Cabinet minister, Barnett decided to raise a difficult question for any right-on Labour MP. Referencing the query of one listener called Jill, Barnett asked the Labour chair if a future government led by Keir Starmer would legislate to define what a woman actually is.

Some journalists have been briefed that the PM may encourage further research into fracking – where rocks are cracked underground to release gas.
But otherwise the launch will offer no radically new policy – rather, an acceleration of existing plans.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60683929
……………..
Coulda woulda shoulda. What is happening here is further confirmation from yesterdays interview that the cowardly useless incompetent Boris the bottler is going to do absolutely nothing to secure Britains energy supply.
The only reason he has hedged the statement about fracking is because his own party cowards that they are forced him to extend the cuadrilla licences which he was going to cancel. He is scared they will do the same again when the emergencies begin to test the system.

Maybe Jussie Smollett is worried Kamala will have him ‘suicided’ so he can’t reveal collusion with her over his bogus “I woz lynched” claim.
Is it pure coincidence that he made his fake claim just when Kamala was pushing her anti-lynching bill, and running for office?
In turn, she was quick to champion him, accepting his allegations unquestioningly. She has never retracted her statements about ‘modern day lynching’.
(Naturally, Sleepy Joe jumped on the bandwagon too, though ‘jumped’ might be a tad too energetic for him. Crawled maybe?)
