    Just saying that all the graphics published on here are lost on me as I read this site on my phone – so I either see a corner or quarter of the intended pictures.
    I rarely use my PC where the graphics can be viewed in full.

    Urgent question: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero if he will make a statement on the potential security implications of the involvement of Chinese companies including Mingyang in energy infrastructure projects

    https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/6a16c552-049d-41f3-8ba8-25dc8c206e17

    While Mingyang’s plans for a potential UK entrance have still to be fully defined, a 2021 memorandum of understanding with the then Conservative government set out plans to invest in blade manufacturing, a service centre and possibly a turbine assembly facility in the UK.3 Feb 2025

    The Scottish government said it was a decision by the industry and foreign firms undergo “rigorous due diligence”

    Every news bulletin this morning on R5 has led with MI5 issuing an unreserved apology to the BBC for trying to hide one of their agents who attacked his girlfriend.

    Small fry when it comes to government agencies lying to the public you would think. But the BBC are self-obsessed and he’s a neo-Nazi and a wife beater, so any other news is on hold while they play “unreserved apology” on repeat.

      We are in a gas light world …. “The first season of Volodymyr Zelensky’s sitcom about an ordinary guy who becomes president is on Netflix, and watching it on one screen while on another Zelensky narrates his country’s resistance to the Russian invasion feels like witnessing history stereoscopically.”

      https://slate.com/culture/2022/03/zelensky-servant-of-the-people-real-parallels.html

      He becomes an overnight YouTube sensation when a student secretly films him ranting to a colleague about corruption. “Who is there to vote for? It’s always the lesser of two assholes and it’s been this way for twenty-five years,” goes his speech, now as famous in our world as it was in Holoborodko’s. “If I could have just one week in office, if at all possible, I would show them! Fuck the motorcades! Fuck the perks! Fuck the weekend chalets!”

      One of the first mistakes he makes, in fact—which goes uncorrected and uncriticized by the series—involves firing a network of connected vipers in the administration only to appoint his own set of cronies as advisers (they include several of his spectacularly unqualified pals and his ex-wife). The comedy, which goes to the trouble of roundly condemning nepotism, faintly suggests that Holoborodko’s judgment here is good enough; his cronyism is somehow the benign kind. It’s hard not to watch this fictional turn of events without recalling that the real Zelensky, once elected president, brought some three dozen of his associates from the entertainment industry into government—installing them in departments that include national security and defense.

    “Just when you thought they couldn’t be any more cruel Labour have decided to block refugees arriving by small boat from becoming British citizens. This awful decision does nothing to improve the lives of people in this country. The Green Party says clearly – #RefugeesWelcome”

    I searched for posts on UK farms facing difficulties, nothing for over a year. I remember when they used to be interested in the environment.

    “Drag Race star found dead in bathroom, court told”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg8yjz0ezlo

    “The body of 32-year-old James Lee Williams was found in Chorlton-by-Backford, near Chester, on 5 January.

    Police confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, the inquest opening at Cheshire Coroner’s Court in Warrington heard.

    Noting that a post-mortem examination revealed an “unnatural cause of death”, area coroner Victoria Davies said further investigation was required and adjourned the inquest until 30 June.”

    So hows that work – no suspicious circumstances and an unnatural cause of death?

    What a waste of time and money, it probably just killed theirself.

    “Oasis nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0pzyr0x78o

    Long article, and of course it doesn’t occur to the “journalist”
    Mark Savage, to explain what exactly The Hall is ???
    I’ve no idea.

    He seems more concerned in telling us that:
    “Mariah Carey is one of the most egregious oversights in the Hall of Fame’s history. ”
    Or
    “women make up less than 9% of inductees…”
    Or
    “Rap music’s under-representation continues to be a theme..”

      Why the Met are drilling down on drill music

      https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/met-police-drill-music-b1119500.html

      Whether on the radio, TV or even on the Greta Gerwig blockbuster Barbie movie, drill music has had a dominant year in every format. As one of the country’s most popular sounds, it has taken London, and international music markets by storm, helping launch careers of rappers including Central Cee, Dave and Headie One, who have all topped music charts in the UK.

      Eddy
      I submit that C “Rap music’s under representation” is because it is not music, but merely a god awful racket. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
      Sorry about that all you c-rappers.

    Hamas now has a fabulous opportunity together lots of its people into the UK.

    It could be halted if Two Kier Starmer acts against the incoming Hamas boys as fast as he would act against anything he perceives as right wing such as the ‘right wing’ riots about Southport (not the lefty harehills ones, just the ones against the child murderer)

    If it were up to Rupert Lowe (for example) it would have been stopped before it began.
