      Don’t tell anyone but we don’t refer to global warming any more.
      in New Speak we have to refer to it as CLIMATE CHANGE.

        Lefty, I know the green blob may have changed to ‘climate change’ to cover all eventualities but people still know the expression‘global warming’. For the past few days I have greatly enjoyed any mention of the weather using the response ‘yes, it’s global warming’. It is amazing how it has then allowed people to speak freely, rather than the state approved message.

          Immediately thick politicians listened to crackpot ‘scientists’ with nutcase ‘theories, and decided to invent the untruthful mantra af ‘climate change’, they instigated a ‘marketplace’, where real investors saw an enormous opportunity to make billions from these idiots!

          Elected MPs should have understood that the whole issue was a scam from start to half-way, as we are now, but the real investors have cashed in and are looooong gone now, leaving Joe Public to pick up the bills as decreed by the ridiculous Miliband and his stupid little chums.

          Of course, the naivete of various shoo-ins at the Beeb like Harrabin and Packham, jumped on the bandwagon as fast as their little feet could chase the cart, and the ‘job’ for the Beeboid starry-eyed stupidity was cast in stone as state broadcaster!

          It’s taking a while for the scam to sink in, and TTK knows this, as when Reform get him chucked out, the bubble will be at bursting point and ready to blow!

            The UK is holding back on their (to be) surprise announcements at the COP gathering in AbuJabiAzer:

            1. The UK is now rated as a “Poor Country” and as such will be on the receiving end of donations from the “Rich Nations”.

            2. As a concession to the “Poor Countries” the UK will be throwing into the hat, Ed Millipede to do as the recipient “Poor Countries” wish with him.

            I’ll bet the Swiss are all for the transfer of money to the “Poor Countries” as it will result in many more personal bank accounts opened up in the name of the “Poor” countries leader………….

                G, Scrobie & Deborah esp., Ed Minibrain will be no loss to the UK as he is almost certain to ensure that Labour will be out of power(!) at the 2029 GE or, alternatively, will be forced – at great expense – to nationalise the foreign-owned wind farms and legislate to end the Contracts for Difference which makes all electricity so expensive to customers.

                I personally believe the AGW & Climate Change to be a Satanic Deception as do some others at my church. The Lord Jesus Christ reminded His disciples in Mathew’s Gospel chapter 24, verse 5, Mark’s Gospel ch13 v6, and Luke’s Gospel ch21 v8 (known to some as the Olivet Discourse because it took place on Mt. Olivet near Jerusalem) “Take heed that you are not deceived for many shall come in My name, saying ‘I am Christ’ and shall deceive many.

                The proponents of Anthropogenic Global Warming and Climate Change have deceived many (including Ed Minibrain but he is a bear of v_ l_ b_ ) and are claiming to have a plan to save the world. I know some sincere people in my church who have all sorts of scientific degrees, who I believe, to be deceived in this way.

                Shalom. And have a good weekend all who read the posts and post on this site.

                In scenes redolent of 1930s Germany and USA, the Jew is started to become hated – especially Bibi Netanyahu – in many places. I am glad the President Elect Trump is pushing back on the International Criminal Court. Israel’s enemies are very many and that includes, sadly, the ICC and the UN and its agencies. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and success for the IDF in defeating Hamas, freeing the reminaing hostages who are alive and in defeating Hezbollah and Fatah.

            Problem is that a few MPs have fingers in the climate change pie themselves.

            Too many see you next Tuesdays making bank by conning idiots (do gooders mostly).

            And we all pick up the tab.

            But at least people get to feel good about themselves, while they restrict their freedoms and put themselves into wage slave poverty forever, as a few con men and con women make millions.

          They have no one to offload on now so will soon start turning on each other.

          They still cannot resist the occasional urge to attack Trump though and ANYONE of the centre right. And of course that couple from MNBC that spoke to Trump.

          Another funny thing is they KEEP saying “I wonder what they will do on X without us to attack”.

    Man killed partner in ‘violent and vicious attack’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80l2n7l8jno

    Looks like this one went straight to ‘regions’ at the BBC. I for one never saw the story until I found it elsewhere and searched to see if the BBC had covered it.

    The lack of interest is surprising considering it involves the most nasty domestic violence you can imagine:
    Apparently he “beat and kicked and stamped” his partner to death in the “confined space” of his bedroom, causing 20 rib fractures and a brain injury.’
    This story should have the BBC misandrists and feminists activists foaming at the mouth and making lots of noise about what b@st@rds men are.

    But it appears they are all silent. Why might that be ?.
    Of course you know why. Here’s the man who did it: Raj Sidpara
    3c4fc230-a8e2-11ef-bdf6-abd7e27c7904.png.webp

    The BBC don’t give a shit what happened to her because the scum who did it is a BAME and they are protected to be used as ‘victims’ against white people. And it looks like their colleagues at The Guardian who are also monstrous hypocrites didn’t even cover this trial at all!. And they have the ultimate in poisonous feminists. They just have a BBC-style ‘basic facts only’ article about the original arrest.

    Where is this on the BBC as Guido reported yesterday?….

    ‘The well-respected S&P Global flash UK PMI composite output index, which is regarded as a measure of the the general health of the private sector, has plummeted. The index fell from 51.8 last month to 49.9 today – the lowest measure since October 2023. Falling below 50 means the majority of companies’ output is in decline…’

    Normally the BBC is all over these figures and predicting ‘recession’ when at such levels…and when it’s Tory government…but now they don’t even report it….indeed barely mention the state of business confidence…the only mention seems to be them reporting what the papers say…a Times headline…

    There is mounting criticism of Reeves for lying about her CV…and yet absolute silenced from the BBC.

    Contrast with its treatment of Boris whom it went out of its way to label him a liar…a dangerous liar. When he refused to tell the BBC how many children he hasd they insisted this meant he was unfit to be PM…how could we trust such a dodgy character who wasn’t open with every detail about his life?…the BBC weaponising his kids and of course any such revelations would have put them and their mothers in the glare of the news…but the BBC was ready to use them to get to Boris…so very moral and ethical.

    A friend recommended I watch A House Through Time, Series 5: Two Cities at War written and performed by David Olusoga (well it was a performance). I am not sure how long I would have lasted but the German house was round the corner from where my father lived as a child. David Olusoga’s style is staccato with breaks in his delivery where no break is necessary. There are lots of clips of him walking and not talking. I am sure the camera didn’t need him in every shot as the audience took in the ramp from where Jewish deportations occurred. Closeups of Olusoga’s unkempt hair made me want to itch as I wondered how he could run a comb through it. Of course he found a gentleman from Togo living in the Berlin block but there was no mention of climate change.

    But assumptions were huge. A British man injured in WW1 went to Egypt in the late 1920s where he sadly died. Now he may have caught a stomach bug, had appendicitis or any illness. But without evidence the man had definitely (not maybe) died of his war wounds so Mr Olusoga claimed. There were so many other examples. The series was littered with so many other explosive claims which when it boiled down to it meant they had found descendants, or been to Kew or even a quick look on Ancestry. Mr Olusoga’s excitement claiming in-depth research when he produced newspaper clippings which had probably come from an online search of the British Newspaper Archive.

    For a BBC programme today I suspect it is as good as one might expect. But comparing it to Civilisation or World at War shows up how shallow the series was. Little money was spent on research, but lots on drones, 3d computer drawings of the blocks. There had obviously been lots of money spent on sending Mr Olusoga to Berlin and other travels. I did wonder how many other blocks were considered but the information about the residents was shallow. It was all sensationalist and no depth.

    This lying mob, it just gets worse, even at the Bank of England doubts are starting, and, of course, when caught out now trying to blame someone else:

    “amid accusations that she had lied about her qualifications on her CV, the profile was updated to read that the Chancellor has been involved in ‘retail banking’ at Halifax, The Telegraph reported.

    The blame for this ‘error’ has now been placed on an unnamed member of the Chancellor’s staff, according to a source close to Reeves.

    Prior to joining Halifax, Reeves worked at the Bank of England for over half a decade, but further questions over that portion of her career history have also begun to emerge.

    The Labour Party itself claimed Reeves had worked at the Bank of England ‘for the best part of a decade’.

    In reality, the current Chancellor had spent 18 months of her six year stint on a secondment at the US Embassy.

    She began her time at the bank as a London School of Economics Master’s student.

    Further queries have since followed around the superiority of her previous roles.

    Reeves has previously claimed in multiple social media posts that she is a ‘former Bank of England economist’.

    However, old tweets from 2012 have surfaced in which the Chancellor described herself as a ‘very junior Japan analyst’.”

    “It was a well-worn script for Reeves, who before, during and after the General Election set out her stall as a hardcore economic wonk.

    ‘Rachel has spent her professional career as an economist,’ was how her personal website put it. She worked as an economist at the Bank of England, the British Embassy in Washington DC and latterly at Halifax Bank of Scotland [HBOS],’ read an official biography handed to organisers of speaking gigs.
    ‘I spent a decade working as an economist at the Bank of England and loved it,’ she told a magazine in 2021.

    During TV interviews, Reeves likes to begin answers with the words ‘as an economist’. In PR films uploaded to her social media, she has often boasted: ‘I worked at the Bank of England for the best part of a decade.’ And so on.”

    Specifically, Reeves claimed on LinkedIn that she was a ‘full time’ economist at the Bank of England from September 2000 to December 2006. Then her profile said she moved to HBOS as an ‘economist: full time’ until December 2009. In other words, her CV reflected the official narrative, which she had so endlessly talked about.
    But then something very odd happened. A couple of weeks back, the document was stealthily edited in a way that made her career look significantly less impressive than before. ”

    “Why Trump is looking to Britain as he plans to crack down on illegal migrants – as an example of how NOT to do it.

    “As the proud son of an even prouder Scotswoman, Trump is widely said to be troubled by the left-wing zealotry of Keir Starmer’s administration. He’s also determined to show the West that the world’s most powerful democracy can and will stop uncontrolled mass migration.

    There has been a lot of nonsense in the media about Starmers Labour government which includes his “Inventive”Chancellor Rachel ( l might have worked at the Bank of England ) Reeves attacking farmers and failing to understand farming generally.

    It transpires that nothing could be further from the truth ….Starmer is actively giving lots of farmers free money ..yes, a big,big give away of funds…..The eagle eyed amongst us will have noticed the only problem is that the £535 million that l refer to , is part of the very generous overseas aid budget.for foreign farming.

    So that clears that up..”Starmer loves a farmer”…it even rhymes.

    We used to enjoy the comic understatement of John Le Mesurier, in character as that world-weary, often lugubrious, Sergeant Wilson. In some typical scenario in which our cocksure gungho Captain Mainwaring proposed his platoon of bungling Saturday night soldiers use live ammunition, the deferential Wilson would simply observe: “Do you think that’s wise, Sir?”

    And in similiar vein the Financial Times remarks on: Jaguar’s boss denies going ‘woke’ after online critics pounce on bold rebrand

    Bold indeed.

    Just me, or ought those scare quotes in that headline to appear around the FT’s editorial commentary choice of the word ‘bold’ rather than the widely applied and well understood term ‘woke’?

    One of the best known chants of our football club fans is that of the supporters of Millwall FC: “No one likes us, no one likes us. No one likes us, we don’t care! We are Millwall, super Millwall…!”

    And so it would appear that similar attitude applies to our loveless landslide elected by default Labour government.

    Rachel Reeves pledged to work with business and lead the most ‘pro-growth’ Treasury (FT) – I dare say the power, size, reach and influence of that department will indeed grow under Labour. As of course will every aspect of the dead hand of the public sector over our ailing economy.

    ‘Thumbs down’ to Labour… Business blames Budget for gloom… Activity shrinks and pound falls… NI rise dents confidence (FT)

    They may both be globalists. They may each adhere to the cult of global warming. Both may find the derogatory epithet ‘Far Right’ comes readily to hand. But I sense Labour just lost the support of the pink corporate FT

    They do say socialism has never properly been tried: Visitors check out as Cuba felled by cocktail of woes… Power cuts and taps with no water add to guests unhappiness… Tourists… ask first for a mojito… hotels are unable to oblige as they have no mint (FT)

    The formerly patriotic, latterly serious newspaper of record, the Times, used to gift Keir Starmer many a good write up. Pre-election there seemed to something of a bromance between them. What a short honeymoon that was. The consumation can oftentimes disappoint the expectation.

    UK economy takes a hit after Labour tax increases… Pound, stocks and retail sales all suffer falls (Times)

    I think Labour just lost the Times. The man of the moment appears featured on the frontpage: Jeremy Clarkson… ‘I didn’t think about farmers either when I lived in London’ (Times)

    Whatever the weather, whatever the economic gloom… there’s always room for a calm down dear…

    Caitlin Moran I want to decide when I die (Times)

    Our mate Matt in the Telegraph knocks it out of the park again this morning. He sketches a police desk sergeant (as though they still exist) responding to some chap who has turned up at his local police station counter (as though they still exist): “That’s not a non-crime hate incident, sir, that’s your energy bill”

    The Mirror side-steps our economic woes (which used to send our NHS nurses tripping the light fantastic down to the food bank under our former cost of living crisis) and instead goes with: TV Sarah: My Strictly revelation… Flying high Sarah Hadland & Vito Coppola – No, me neither?

    Our small and medium sized farmers once “Had Land” – but Labour are out to divest them of that.

    Oh, and for their top frontpage national news story the socialistic Daily Mirror goes with a Court Diary report: Royal Exclusive… King to tour India – well, goodness gracious me!

      It does seem perverse to wish the UK further ill in order to get rid of the reds . Let’s face it – we knew they would be bad – but not quite the vindictive Far Left Corbyn impersonator that is one term Starmer .
      We know nothing will improve – NHS money will disappear – houses won’t get beyond planning – more invaders will arise – public borrowing will go up for overseas give aways .
      Can any one think of something that will improve under the red regime – discounting their bank balances ? I really objectively can’t ….

    This could be retitled “When the bubble goes to watch the farmers protest”

    Mason, because of his bubble immersion, has missed the point that many people in this country who do not traditionally revolt are fed up. In the case of the farmers it is very clear that given the low rate of return on the notional value of land, the appropriate tax is capital gains tax (if you want capital taxes). There are many people beyond the farmers who are fed up and it will impact on the long term effectiveness of the UK. That is beyond the comprehension of our ruling elite and Mason simply sits comfortably in that bubble and feeds their egos. Nothing to learn from this one then.

      4/ That is why we are acting at speed on this mission to give families the energy security they deserve.

    “Still locked in intense consultations,” writes Evans Njewa, chair of the Least Developed Countries group, who is from Malawi.

    “I’ve got the Lilongwe Ferrari dealer on speed dial..”

    “Corruption has taken many forms in Malawi, including bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, abuse of power, and political corruption. Public officials have been known to demand bribes for services, while politicians have embezzled funds meant for development projects.

    In Transparency International’s 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index, Malawi scored 34 on a scale from 0 (“highly corrupt”) to 100 (“very clean”).

    The causes of corruption in Malawi are multifaceted.[8] Greed, lack of transparency, poverty, and low salaries have contributed to the problem. Weak institutions, lack of rule of law, and power imbalances have also enabled corruption to thrive. The effects of corruption have been devastating. Economic development has been stifled, poverty has persisted, and public trust in government has been eroded.[8] Essential services like healthcare and education have suffered due to diversion of funds. Various institutions and individuals have been affected by corruption, including government ministries, parastatals, the police, and politicians. The mining sector has also been plagued by corruption, with officials accepting bribes to award contracts.

    Corruption is rife in Malawi and poses serious compliance risks to businesses investing in the country. All sectors of the economy suffer from widespread corruption, and large networks of clientelism and patronage exist. In addition, extensive bureaucracy and red tape provide a fertile environment for facilitation payments and bribery. Companies contend with corruption and bribery in almost all operations, from obtaining licenses to bidding on public contracts. Malawi has a comprehensive anti-corruption legal framework, yet enforcement is poor and officials sometimes engage in corruption with impunity. The Penal Code and the Corrupt Practices Act criminalize active and passive bribery, extortion, and abuse of office, among other offenses, in both the public and the private sectors. Gifts are also criminalized, yet the practice is widespread.”

    Well ok then. Here’s the deal.

    We’ll pay up after you repay us for all the inventions and ideas of ours you’ve been using. And you can pay back all that foreign aid too. And for the crime your descendents have committed in our nations.

    We’ll send over teams to destroy your roads and infrastructure, and you can start from scratch, Mr Mud Hut guy.

    Deal?

    On a serious note, who’s surprised that it’s simply turned into Africans with their hands out? Any money will go right into the hands of corrupt leaders and their families (who usually ‘work’ as NGOs).

    How the msm works: until the eve of Trump’s landslide win, the US networks were still calling him Hitler, a murderer, a threat to women, blacks, gays, democracy, bla bla.

    Days later, seeing which way the wind was blowing and witnessing a collapse in their audience numbers, broadcasters like MSNBC were having conversations with Trump “to find common ground”. Common ground with Hitler? Like, perhaps he’ll agree to only murder 3 million Jews? This clearly showed up their lies. Either they really believed he was Hitler, in which case what the hell were they doing fraternising with such a monster, or they were lying all along. Either way, viewers weren’t impressed.
    And sure enough, after their meeting with Hitler, Morning Joe experienced a further drop in numbers by outraged viewers.

    I have throughly enjoyed being accused of being a leftie woke Tory racist by people who definitely never watch the show because nobody does (except the 3million people who do)
    Thanks everyone

    Did I just hear that right ?
    Or was I dreaming?

    At COP29, ‘developing’ countries are complaining that ‘rich’ countries are ‘only’ offering $300bn to combat climate change.

    What would they spend the money on, apart from the Swiss bank accounts of their leaders?

    Ed Milliband needs to be institutionalised, preferably in the cold, unheated home of pensioners who cannot afford to put on their heating.
