Whatever happened to Global Warming ?
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, we learn that a former advisor to the then Mayor of London blamed the white community for those Pakistani Muslim rape gangs !!
Step forward Lee Jasper, race hustler.
And mayor Khunt is no better.
The most hated administration in UK history, in the shortest possible time, I would posit.
Serial liars, relying on “postal vote” fraud, corrupt, self serving, fascist, authoritarian libellous slanderers.
This is what the cnuts are up to now:
“The Labour Party is so desperate to micromanage headteachers that the Bill will make it illegal for schools to require children to own more than three pieces of ‘branded’ uniform. Given that the average school has around five pieces of branded kit (tie, blazer, PE top, school bag etc.), this means that thousands of schools will have to change their entire uniform policy as a result of Labour’s petty meddling. As if this wasn’t destructive enough, Education Secretary Bridget Philipson is undertaking a ‘curriculum review’ led by an academic whose specialism is gender studies. If you have children in the state school system, beware. Labour intends to replace education with indoctrination.
Why are the Left so keen to control what is taught in schools, even if it means sacrificing educational standards and thus robbing our whole nation of its potential? The answer is, of course, control. Compulsory state education is the Left’s most effective tool for social engineering. If the rights of parents to decide what is taught to their children, where and by whom are steadily eroded, it becomes easier and easier to indoctrinate the young with false and extreme ideas about race, gender, history and economics, views that most parents – and most people – do not support. Once children have been brainwashed, so the thinking goes, the Left will have lifelong acolytes. Independent Schools present a significant obstacle to this agenda of total control, which is why the Government is so intent on forcing them into financial failure through the introduction of VAT on education. Of course, we should fear the impact of the Labour’s economic policies on our financial future. But economic fortunes can rise or fall; once decades – even centuries – of educational excellence have been destroyed, it will not return.
The defeat of Badenoch’s wrecking amendment will make life very uncomfortable for Labour MPs, but more importantly, it will inflict a double blow to our children. Not only will hopes for a much-needed national inquiry into the rape gangs be dashed once more, we will also have to prepare ourselves for the mindless destruction of our education system.”

A BBC freelance newsreader has been sacked by the broadcaster after creating an anti-Keir Starmer charity Christmas song.
Chris Middleton, 33, unmasked himself as the brainchild behind Freezing This Christmas, which was released under the mock band name Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers.
The parody song of Mud’s 1974 hit Lonely This Christmas is about the government’s slashing of winter fuel payments for pensioners and the resultant ‘hardship’ and has raised more than £50,000 for Age UK.
Mr Middleton, who was a freelance newsreader for BBC Newcastle, revealed yesterday that he had been ‘let go’ by the corporation because of a ‘conflict of interest’.
He had planned to release the tune anonymously but said he had ‘no choice’ but to go public when it started gaining media attention.
Mr Middleton told GB News: ‘Do I stay anonymous and maybe the song won’t do as well?
‘Or do I put my face out there, put my name out there, and try to push the song as much as possible and raise awareness, knowing that potentially it would cost me my freelance job with the BBC?’
He told bosses that he was going to appear on Martin Daubney’s GB News programme to chat about his song to which Mr Middleton said they replied: ‘OK, basically you can’t work here any more.’

Middleton in his own words on TalkTV
.. “A senior BBC manager I’d never heard of called me, and told me they’d cancelled all my shifts in December and January.
I’d been working there for 6 years”

A friend’s brother caught up in the LA fire just texted him: “𝕏 is the only reliable source of news about the fires because you can search for specific streets, etc. for updates. Actual news sites don’t have any idea about anything.”
𝕏 has largely replaced the media.
Los Angeles mayor is on vacation in Africa.
Los Angeles Fire Department chief is a DEI advocate.
Biden administration stopped doing controlled burns.
The fire hydrants don’t have water.
This is Democrat supermajority rule.
Karen Bass left L.A. for Africa as wind, fire warnings increased. She returned to a burning city
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-08/mayor-karen-bass-wildfires-africa-trip
https://x.com/ChrisBarnardDL/status/1877097264784544215
Remember that the Biden administration used taxpayer dollars to film weird DEI propaganda for the U.S. Forest Service — the agency that’s tasked with preventing the fires engulfing California.
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1877170586297971157
Don’t you hate it when climate change appoints a DEI hire to run the fire dept, gives away fire equipment to Ukraine, stops critical controlled burns, defunds the fire dept, refuses to build more water reservoirs and store water, cancels fire insurance, mismanages forests and brush, and fires firefighters for refusing an experimental vaccine?
https://x.com/ChrisBarnardDL/status/1877097266630008847
The forced injection of this fringe, racial ideology into the U.S. Forest Service leads its stewards into believing their mission is to “advance racial equity.”
In reality, the mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to service America’s forests.
ENVIRONMENTALISTS SUED TO SAVE THE FORESTS—FROM BEING SAVED…
In 2007, the Sierra Club sued the U.S. Forest Service to block Categorical Exclusions (CE) for controlled burns under NEPA, claiming the process needed a 3.5-year EIS review.
Because, obviously, bureaucracy is better than wildfire prevention.
Controlled burns are essential to reducing fire risks.
Fast forward: the John Muir Project in 2018 and the Center for Biological Diversity in 2021 pulled the same stunts, halting critical fuel reduction plans.
Even Trump discussed the auspicious effect of cleaning the brush off the forest.
For some reason, Newsom seems to choose to ignore it…
Gotta feel sorry for all those trees that died of covid.
Mrs DEI hire finally arrives….from Ghana, long after the crisis started.
“Silent on arrival: LA Mayor Karen Bass refuses to answer questions for her absence as wildfires ravage city.
Bass, who slashed city Fire Department spending last year, briefly addressed matter during news conference hours later.
Bass refused to acknowledge the reporter, continuing to ignore questions as she looked at the ground.
“No apology to them? Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home?” he said.”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/los-angeles-mayor-karen-bass-scrutinized-abroad-wildfires-ravage-city
“We are fighting for you and everyone in Los Angeles,” she said, appearing to be reading prepared remarks.
At one point during the news conference, the mayor’s notes appeared to bewilder her, and she mistakenly said: “Emergency information, resources and shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL.”
Today
There is an interesting dichotomy between the accounts of fires in California on X versus the BBC fire porn account . Nothing on the BBC about blame or cause. . Unusual for the BBC because they love blaming someone .
X suggests the DEI approach to the fire service has contributed to the failure to prevent and fight fires . Yet this doesn’t show up in BBC accounts ….
… and then there is the funeral of the inept jimmy carter -a one term failure – whose eulogy will be read from an autocue by another failure democrat president – and Sarah smith couldn’t stop herself from throwing in a line to compare the felon – president trump – with the ‘never tell a lie ‘ carter ….. even with a funeral TDS is never far away ….
I reckon Sarah smith has mental issues … very BBC ….
The California fire porn is an ideal distraction from the paki rape gangs …..
With zero consequences! HA HA HAHA HH AH !
California is governed by Democrats, top to bottom.
Apart from the useless Governor Noisome, the diverse and useless Mayor of LA (currently swanning around Africa for no good reason), it’s now emerging that the entire fire-fighting department and the agency responsible for forest management are infected with DEI and ESG nonsense, and more concerned with promoting racial equality than in doing their jobs… with the consequences we can see raging through the State.
Meanwhile the BBC blames Climate Change!

Memo to Ed Milliband and Justin Rowlatt
In the cold of yesterday, wind power produced a magnificent …..13% ( or 5 GW) of our electricity generation. Nasty fossil fuel gas produced 52%.

On Toady this morning they interviewed a farmer on the topic of government-induced farming difficulties.
Naturally the farmer selected was an organic farmer who was a spokesperson for some ‘sustainable’ organisation.
The agenda is relentless.
Biden yesterday in California “ sorry your houses burnt down but it’s a good day for me as i am a great grandfather “ …. And he isn’t going to Italy for a jolly today – he has to stay and read the autocue about how president trump started all the fires and turned the water pressure down at hydrants …
Biden – the first USA president to not be present whilst not doing the job.

Naturally, our most coronaphobic of national print titles, i news wouldn’t be i news without a regular covid headline at least once a week or so: Science Has Covid broken our imune system? – the answer to many a headline ending in a question mark is of course: NO
This adage, termed Betteridge’s law, applies most strictly to our most regime-adjacent news outlets. The junior poundshop Guardian that is i news just about squeeks into this category.
The tell tale marker of serious regime adjacency and approval this morning one takes to be the extent to which a newspaper picks up on the BBC’s almost fanatic obsession with California ‘wild fires’.

Gosh, it’s almost as though our BBC were anxious to keep other news out of their headlines.
The gynaeceum that is BBC news staff’s top pick for their online print press line-up is of course the Guardian and that organ of course goes big on the story: Mass evacuations in Los Angeles and deadly wildfires wreak havoc – illustrated with a large format photo of a house ablaze – a dramatic study in orange and red.
One assumes it is a rule of journalism that for the term ‘deadly’ to be placed in a headline requires there to have been fatal casualties.
The Gruan frontpage column fails to substantiate any casualties as directly fire-related, rather it vaguely attributes quotes to ‘one official’ and ‘Officials said’: Efforts to contain the fires are being hindered by a “life-threatening” windstorm – which is as close as this reviewer finds to anything to stand up the ‘deadly’ claim.
California wildfires live updates: At least 5 dead, over 100,000 forced to flee (NBC) – no details apparent in the reporting.
The Financial Times is about as regime-compliant as they come and it’s frontpage photo feature is: Suburbs burn LA wildfires spark exodus
The FT is as much the voice of Brussels as it is of Downing Street so the top headline is some euro-centric anti-Trump snark of the first order: Europe’s leaders warn Trump against meddling with its sovereign borders – the irony we guess being lost on our pro-EU fanatics.
Middling nations need to stick together proposes Janan Ganesh.
He may be the world’s entrepreneur par excellence but a political friend of the regime he is not so the FT does not overlook the opportunity for some anti-Elon Musk snark: Small cast of X influencers feed Musk his ammunition… Analysis… by the FT shows Elon Musk’s obsession with British politics…
Anaysis by Mr AsI shows the BBC’s obsession with American wildfires.
Ditto the Times with that same burning house photo as the Guardian. We continue to note the increasing similarity betwixt these two titles in style, layout and even politics.
Time for a time out – as they say in US sports.

“Mrs Badenoch was asking serious questions about raw events. Ms Phillips was gurning like a solipsistic goon.
She was sitting one away from him and proceeded to pull a series of weird, almost simian faces accompanied by dismissive gestures and gesticulations. OK, she was trying to defend her position but all she managed to do was to look angry, contemptuous and unhinged.
Ms Phillips, with her facial distortions, transmitted a different message. She affected various Ed Miliband-style expressions: open-mouthed incredulity, screwy-eyed disgust, cackling scorn. She sucked on her gums like a PG Tips chimp.
She cackled and joshed with her neighbour Peter Kyle, the science secretary, who might want to keep a distance next time.
She tossed back her head, refusing to be dented by Sir Keir’s snub (if snub it were). She threw a theatrical arm around the justice minister, Shabana Mahmood, and shouted greetings in the direction of Telford’s Shaun Davies, who was sitting up to the left. Look-at-me Ms Phillips finds unceasing delight in herself. ”
Yikes with nashers like that she would need to be careful.

The Babylon Bee obtained an advanced list of 10 of the improvements to promote freedom of expression:
“Poking” will be brought back: This was once eliminated due to complaints from lame losers who did not consent to being poked.
Sharing a minion meme will now be a bannable offense: The long national nightmare is finally over.
It will now be impossible to unfriend Donald Trump: Just like in real life.
It will now be permissible to share news stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop: Better late than never.
The algorithm will occasionally show you posts that actually do interest you: Not all the time. But even doing it some of the time is a huge improvement.
Only half of the recommended pages to follow will be Russian bots: The other half will be lizard people.
Your crazy uncle’s posts about his UFO abduction are going to be visible again: Now this is good content.
The loading screen will be the dancing baby gif: Not because it’s based or anything, but just because it’s fun.
You will now be required to “like” the posts from your dad that show an upside-down picture with the caption “Meanwhile, in Australia”: It’s time for Facebook to bring families back together again.
Any post promoting seed oils will result in automatic suspension: America is back, baby.
https://babylonbee.com/news/10-facebook-changes-mark-zuckerberg-is-bringing-to-facebook
‘Our fact-checkers have ‘just been too politically biased’ said Zuckerberg, and they’ve ‘destroyed more trust than they’ve created’.’
No wonder the BBC is hating this volte face by Zuckerberg…it makes their own ‘Verify’ project look questionable…or as Isabel Oakeshott says….
‘Better late than never, Mark! While you’re at it, might you have a quiet word with the BBC?
While Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are all serial offenders, the BBC has arguably been the most shameless, setting up its own “fact-finding” empire to provide “verified” versions of the truth. Is it too much to hope that Zuckerberg’s tacit acknowledgement that users have lost trust in such “services” might encourage the BBC to review its own version: so-called BBC Verify?
Only this week, the supposedly impartial unit broadcast an analysis of Musk’s political interventions, which blithely accused the X boss of “making … unsubstantiated claims” about events in the UK. According to BBC Verify, Musk “frequently” shares “untrue and misleading information.” How many examples has the unit provided to back up these claims? Absolutely none.’
Again – why hasn’t Mark Zuckerberg been fired for such a bad decision?

Just reading about the awful fires in LA and Democrat governor Gavin Newson’s head is right above the parapet for the blame. It seems the firefighters have simply run out of water.
I did some searching and discovered Trump has blamed him for not allowing a big supply of water in from the North. As usual, the ‘Fact checkers’ have immediately jumped in to discredit Trump and those reports are well and truly out of the Leftist news network : it appears in many, many places.
So I checked. What they are all saying is this:
‘Trump today repeated a claim he has made in the past, that state efforts “to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt” have caused pain and hardship in California.’
‘“Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,”’
These ‘Fact Checkers’ are using this to tell us what Trump said is false:
‘“There is no such document as the water restoration declaration — that is pure fiction,” Newsom communications director Izzy Gardon said in a written statement. “The Governor is focused on protecting people, not playing politics, and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need.”’
So Trump is lying. But I pondered it for a moment : it’s another ‘odd wording’ by the Left and I realised they are not saying he DIDN’T stop the water, they are saying the document name Trump referred to does not exist.
Then I found this from December 2019 : just before the Democrats stole office:
‘Delta smelt: the tiny fish caught in California’s war with Trump’
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/22/delta-smelt-fish-trump-california-aoe
‘“They have farms here and they don’t get water,” he said, as the crowd, holding up green “Farmers for Trump” signs booed. “It is so ridiculous they’re taking the water and shoving it out to sea.” That night, Trump promised the farmers more water. Ever since then, his administration has been making moves to make good on that pledge.’
So it seems that what Trump said is once again absolutely true. Newson did not let the water through. But they are saying it’s false because they nit-picked one irrelevant fact.
No wonder the BBC are up in arms that Facebook are removing fact checkers. They are one of the many ways the Left-wing activists lie to us.
And remember most people will look at the title of the story and move on … not bother to read it all .. good work JohnC!
The smelt story is in the FoxNews video above
“The amendment was largely symbolic, as the size Labour’s majority meant it was never likely to pass.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics
What is significant about that vote is that not a single Labour MP voted for an inquiry. Not one had the conscience to do what’s right.
The 3-line whip for such a subject was an absolute disgrace. They ALL did what the Fuhrer instructed. The Nazis truly are back.
Just as I saw many times in the USA where many times every single Democrat voted along party lines and any swing was due to republicans.
Because the Right vote with their conscience. The Left vote to further their ideology. They don’t give a shit about what it means to real people.

Excellent news comrades – the plan to wreck the UK economy is working well – Rachel from accounts has declined to go to parliament to answer an urgent question – she sent a work experience kid instead – so the pound continues to fall against the $ and gilt costs are still going up despite the abnormal Bank of England statement yesterday ….

Some people argue that politicians should be paid more to get ‘better quality ‘ and ‘less corruption ‘. I’d argue they’d just be able to put on bigger bets ….
Very wealthy people are better equipped to do politics – particularly if their wealth is self generated … but then again – im not too fond of democracy ….as the case of the UK shows ….
“”Record year for wind power in 2024″” BBC Climate News

“We also imported a record amount of electricity last year, so much for energy security.”
“Britain will dependent on Chinese imports of renewable technology & EV cars for next century- the ship of energy security sailed long ago!”
YET ….
“The UK’s electricity grid came worryingly close to blackouts yesterday “– just 580 MW shy of the lights going out – in what independent energy consultant Kathryn Porter described as the “tightest day since 2011 or before”. National Grid ESO had to issue its first Electricity Market Notice of the winter, along with a third Capacity Market Notice, though the latter was quickly binned.
