I saw a little of Wishi Washi Sanak’s Cop 27 speech yesterday. God, it was ghastly.
It was the same tiresome old rhetoric, perfectly crafted for this particular audience, but totally impractical.
I’m not particularly worried about climate change, I think we can handle any “problems”, whatever they are.
However, thousands of elderly, poor and vulnerable British people die each year during the winter months, due to the cold. When I was a volunteer for Meals on Wheels (yonks ago) I would often visit old people who were sitting in the cold and dark, wrapped up like Captain Oates, terrified of their energy bills.
The likes of XR and Just Stop Oil, who are generally well heeled, spoiled middle-class kids, don’t meet many poor or elderly people; they’re not at uni’…and anyway they’re far more concerned about polar bears and ice caps than a few old “gammons”.
During the recent election contest Sunak seemed keen on shale. A U turn. He wasn’t going to attend this virtue signalling junket; another U turn.
We’re standing on top of enough coal to last us 150 years, we have shale gas, oil in the North Sea and we could have been building nuclear, but no, we’ve indulged the green fanatics and now we’re in trouble.

Election day on BBC: “US voters share their fears.”
Six case studies; 3 dems, 3 republicans. So far so good… balanced and fair; trusted and impartial. Their key concerns align with what we expect — abortion rights, gun reform on the left and economy / cost of living on the right.
The slant is that “protecting democracy” features high for two of the dems but is noticeably absent from the other side, which also happens to include an evangelical Christian who lists the Bible as his biggest influence.
It isn’t hard to find Republicans similarly concerned about the erosion of democracy. But that would open up a whole can of political worms, so instead we get to witness BBC sampling methods in all their partisan glory.
Twitter’s been pushing this film at me: “Armageddon Time.” Kid of Jewish immigrants in 80s New York, has a black friend… antisemitism, racism, inequality… bad man Reagan…

In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during “God save the King” than of stealing from a poor box.

Doh. it’s official the 21/22 Greenland ice cap surface is bigger than the previous year
There was a low point about 4 years ago
Sure over 20 years it’s smaller
But we are still coming out of an ice age so the cap shouldn’t be growing overall.

4:01pm News “Mental Health charity @GrowingWell have been given permission to start a mental health garden at a motorway service station on the M6″
Really Radio4 that’s national news to you ?
.. Cos to me it’s PRasNews for a local Lake District charity
And when I check the charity put out a statement on October 28th
So once again is deceiving by suggesting it’s NEW news, when it isn’t.
It’s BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda
Then a few mins later It’s Law In Action
First item for 15 minutes was ‘Here’s a lawyer who specialises in protest law’
” Yes, Look at these poor XR protesters the evil Tories are trying to increase laws to stop them obstructing the highway
There was a great judgement a few months back that says it’s OK to partially block the highway”
The presenter helped by suggesting that someone carrying a bicycle lock might be maliciously arrested.
FFS nobody is innocently walking around a protest carrying a lock, either it’s on your bike or you are carrying it to cause an obstruction.
Then there was a shy police spokesman
but no voice saying XR are gangsters using intimidation to get their way over democracy.
It was more BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda
=====
Then the prog moved on a US black agenda
A new law in California restricts the use of rap lyrics to show criminial intent
after a bad a bad cop deceived a jury by saying “laying down a track” meant kill someone.
That’s BBC #WhiteGuilt Agenda
=====
And the 3:30pm show BBC eco activist panel
“COP27 Can it improve on pledges made last year in Glasgow?
Tom Heap and Matt McGrath look back on a tough year for climate negotiations”
That’s more BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda
2:15pm R4 drama repeat The UK’s first ‘environmental refugees’ are due to be displaced in the next 20 years.

Surprised but delighted to see our fantastic news from last week popping up on BBC online today and then making the national news on Radio 2 and Radio 4 this afternoon! Site takes shape Nov/Dec for Jan opening! Get involved at https://t.co/BlGL3FqrYH 🌱 https://t.co/w3nhEHK1En
In Government, we will complete a 5 year Parliament in only 4 years. This policy not only ensures a 20% saving for the public purse but also gives everyone in the UK a year off from listening to our politicians.
To unite the population, we will surround the UK with a large cardboard box so people can be both in and/or out of the EU. This will be known as Schrodinger’s Brexit.
Does any normal American give a toss about what the British Bitching Coagulant says in it’s awful summaries about the Mid-terms?
Having had to put up with O’bamalam squeaking rubbish about being at the ‘end of the queue’, and O’Biden wandering around like a twonk and muttering to himself, a real British Citizen has to wonder who in the UK ever bothers to listen to CNN, or reads the Wapo, unless they have an odd sense of curiosity in how failure starts at their little ‘morning meetings’.
Could (will) be fun tomoz, and I’ll make sure the earpods are ready and waiting for the results on some decent wireless programmes, probably GB News, and then I’ll make Senora O’Blene a cup of tea to celebrate!

‘The University of Life’, the best university of all, its where they can earn money by while learning instead of playing .
Both BBC and ITV local news reports of the Royal visit to Leeds and Bradford today were so biased you would have thought they were in either Jamaica or Pakistan, certainly not Yorkshire.
Maricopa County are at it again. This is happening at 26+ locations. They're telling voters to put their ballots in a box and the votes will be counted at a different location. I bet the location will be boarded up. This a repeat of 2020. Get out and vote because the steal is on. pic.twitter.com/WATa7swnUJ
I happened to be listening to BBC Radio 5 Live around 3pm today due to car radio being left on it The bit I heard was a climate change love-in and about and Greta.
Nihal Arthanayake was the host, there were two guests they were young MMGW devotees. The cosy chat focussed on the supposed hate that older men had for Greta. Slurs such as “Gammons” were bandied around. Nihal just joined in with the bias. What a disgrace.
I have just been through everything tweet in the last 20 hours that mentioned Nihal or his twitter handle.
His show his hardly high impact,
Sensible don’t listen, so there were only 3 tweets mentioning his guests racism saying Gammon etc.
Then there are about 30 solitary listeners praising him, that’s not much for a national station.
Nihal is a right snowflake , if little people criticise him, he does a sneering reply , hoping to use his platform to get a pile on against the critic.
The level of anti-Trump hysteria on the Guardian website is remarkable. Their favourite lefty columnists are queueing up to unload their childish bile and slurs.
No doubt they are being triggered by the growing fear of a Democrat rout in the mid-terms and the inevitable possibility then of Trump having a run at the Presidency in two years.
Meanwhile the BBC cannot hide their partisanship using the headline “Control of Congress AT STAKE in midterm elections”.
“At Stake” suggests that this would be a dangerous loss rather than a shift of power and thus neatly reveals their allegiance.
All very delightful to behold!
On other matters I see that several Public sector lefty unions are stirring up for strike action. So “Public Servants like teachers, lecturers, NHS workers are planning to join in like lemmings. It’s worthy of note that the only “workers” threatening to come out are those that are paid by forced levies on Joe Public through direct Taxes on earnings. In addition, these “workers” have amongst the best holiday entitlements and retirement conditions of all workers not to mention, in my opinion, very respectable pay levels already. They all need a stint on the checkouts at any major Supermarket to find out what real hard work and low rewards feel like
Rishi not only buys fracked gas from the US
He emphatically bans you from gas fracking on your own land.
(You are allowed to frack for geothermal energy)
UK political elite, united in its opposition to fracking gas in UK, relishes imminent new deal with USA which involves massive import of fracking gas from America, at huge expense in terms of dollar cost, CO2 LNG transport footprint and balance of payments deficit.
I’ve yet to see an energy audit for geothermal energy drilling – if was any good in CO2 terms and RoI you’d reasonably imagine that it’d be *everywhere* – incessantly on the BBC f’rinstance.
They’re pissing on you and telling you it’s raining – couldn’t be clearer.
Reasonable that Brillo picks it up I suppose but it really should trigger an outbreak of media indignation and repeated questions at *EVERY* press conference – this farce has to stop.
Looks like Rashid is on his way back to Blighty to do PMQs Wednesday – so some no one cabinet minister has gone – and it’s not the braverman. One . Who gives damn ? Same old same old crap government …..
Reflections on Gavin Williamson.
Personally I thought he was useless and no idea why Sunak appointed him.and he may well be an odious little man.
But…..
If he was abusive to someone at the MoD, does it not strike you as odd that the complaint has only just been made ? He left the MoD in 2019. I mean, it’s not as if it is a carefully constructed method of destabilising the government, is it? LOL.
And then again, if you were the minister and are up against the unending, immovable, useless blob that is the civil service, deliberately trying to undermine the government, might you not occasionally blow up and explode out of sheer frustration? I would.
He screwed up, but he may not have been totallly wrong.
The BBC are wetting their already-soaked panties again – this time because ‘Hollywood Actor’ Sean Penn gave Zelensky his Oscar.
Firstly Sean Penn is a prize tw@t.
Secondly giving Zelensky an Oscar for his performance as President – though well deserved – is a complete piss-take !. It means he’s exceptional at acting while saying something completely fake.
Sean Penn had a collection of 67 guns. When he started going out with actress Charlize Theron, she persuaded him to get rid of them, and they were turned into a “sculpture” by Jeff Koons.
Then Penn and Theron split up.
What a waste. I bet Zelensky would’ve liked them guns.

The 1pm R4 news did this time find a bloke who had to miss his mother’s funeral cos of the traffic jam caused by XR.
How does one get back at the XR totalitarians without being as bad as them ?
They take away freedoms from us
Is there a way we can take freedoms away from them ?

“Brexit blow as ministers find 1,400 extra EU laws to repeal”
“Rishi Sunak promised to comb through the 2,400 laws in this year’s leadership contest against Liz Truss.
But Mr Sunak has given up on his promise to complete the exercise within 100 days and Brexiteer backbenchers are skittish that he may ditch the idea altogether”.

4:01pm News “Mental Health charity @GrowingWell have been given permission to start a mental health garden at a motorway service station on the M6″
Really Radio4 that’s national news to you ?
.. Cos to me it’s PRasNews for a local Lake District charity
And when I check the charity put out a statement on October 28th
So once again is deceiving by suggesting it’s NEW news, when it isn’t.
It’s BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda
Then a few mins later It’s Law In Action
First item for 15 minutes was ‘Here’s a lawyer who specialises in protest law’
” Yes, Look at these poor XR protesters the evil Tories are trying to increase laws to stop them obstructing the highway
There was a great judgement a few months back that says it’s OK to partially block the highway”
The presenter helped by suggesting that someone carrying a bicycle lock might be maliciously arrested.
FFS nobody is innocently walking around a protest carrying a lock, either it’s on your bike or you are carrying it to cause an obstruction.
Then there was a shy police spokesman
but no voice saying XR are gangsters using intimidation to get their way over democracy.
It was more BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda
=====
Then the prog moved on a US black agenda
A new law in California restricts the use of rap lyrics to show criminial intent
after a bad a bad cop deceived a jury by saying “laying down a track” meant kill someone.
That’s BBC #WhiteGuilt Agenda
=====
And the 3:30pm show BBC eco activist panel
“COP27 Can it improve on pledges made last year in Glasgow?
Tom Heap and Matt McGrath look back on a tough year for climate negotiations”
That’s more BBC #GreenSupremacist Agenda

Having had to put up with O’bamalam squeaking rubbish about being at the ‘end of the queue’, and O’Biden wandering around like a twonk and muttering to himself, a real British Citizen has to wonder who in the UK ever bothers to listen to CNN, or reads the Wapo, unless they have an odd sense of curiosity in how failure starts at their little ‘morning meetings’.

I happened to be listening to BBC Radio 5 Live around 3pm today due to car radio being left on it The bit I heard was a climate change love-in and about and Greta.
Nihal Arthanayake was the host, there were two guests they were young MMGW devotees. The cosy chat focussed on the supposed hate that older men had for Greta. Slurs such as “Gammons” were bandied around. Nihal just joined in with the bias. What a disgrace.

I have just been through everything tweet in the last 20 hours that mentioned Nihal or his twitter handle.
His show his hardly high impact,
Sensible don’t listen, so there were only 3 tweets mentioning his guests racism saying Gammon etc.
Then there are about 30 solitary listeners praising him, that’s not much for a national station.
Nihal is a right snowflake , if little people criticise him, he does a sneering reply , hoping to use his platform to get a pile on against the critic.

The level of anti-Trump hysteria on the Guardian website is remarkable. Their favourite lefty columnists are queueing up to unload their childish bile and slurs.
No doubt they are being triggered by the growing fear of a Democrat rout in the mid-terms and the inevitable possibility then of Trump having a run at the Presidency in two years.
Meanwhile the BBC cannot hide their partisanship using the headline “Control of Congress AT STAKE in midterm elections”.
“At Stake” suggests that this would be a dangerous loss rather than a shift of power and thus neatly reveals their allegiance.
All very delightful to behold!
On other matters I see that several Public sector lefty unions are stirring up for strike action. So “Public Servants like teachers, lecturers, NHS workers are planning to join in like lemmings. It’s worthy of note that the only “workers” threatening to come out are those that are paid by forced levies on Joe Public through direct Taxes on earnings. In addition, these “workers” have amongst the best holiday entitlements and retirement conditions of all workers not to mention, in my opinion, very respectable pay levels already. They all need a stint on the checkouts at any major Supermarket to find out what real hard work and low rewards feel like
Speaks volumes re greed and politics!

Reflections on Gavin Williamson.
Personally I thought he was useless and no idea why Sunak appointed him.and he may well be an odious little man.
But…..
If he was abusive to someone at the MoD, does it not strike you as odd that the complaint has only just been made ? He left the MoD in 2019. I mean, it’s not as if it is a carefully constructed method of destabilising the government, is it? LOL.
And then again, if you were the minister and are up against the unending, immovable, useless blob that is the civil service, deliberately trying to undermine the government, might you not occasionally blow up and explode out of sheer frustration? I would.
He screwed up, but he may not have been totallly wrong.

Hollywood actor Sean Penn gives his Oscar to Zelensky
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-63561236
The BBC are wetting their already-soaked panties again – this time because ‘Hollywood Actor’ Sean Penn gave Zelensky his Oscar.
Firstly Sean Penn is a prize tw@t.
Secondly giving Zelensky an Oscar for his performance as President – though well deserved – is a complete piss-take !. It means he’s exceptional at acting while saying something completely fake.
What am I missing here ?.

Sean Penn had a collection of 67 guns. When he started going out with actress Charlize Theron, she persuaded him to get rid of them, and they were turned into a “sculpture” by Jeff Koons.
Then Penn and Theron split up.
What a waste. I bet Zelensky would’ve liked them guns.
