      Tomo – when heard that some Asian ‘Tory ‘ Green minister was actually blowing up coal power stations I knew that the dead blues had lost their minds – now it’s followed by the Marxists .

        All too easy to believe that the shower of utter clots in politics is being manipulated externally.

        I’m normally a fan of Hanlon’s Razor – but the evidence now, I feel, indicates malignant manipulation.

    The Spain/Portugal /France power cuts. I held back from commenting on this as there may have been a rational explanation, it does seem however that it is due to green crap. The Green nutters have the ear of technologically ignorant politicians. It’s long been known that without a good percentage of stable coal/oil/gas or nuclear power generation a national power grid system isn’t sustainable. And yet the foolish Politicians lead us by the nose follow the Green road to crapdom and tell us lies like renewable energy is cheaper. Perhaps the solution to the problem is not to have large scale power grids, renewable energy can be a splendid thing for powering small remote communities.
    One of the problems is that large companies involved in power distribution and generation are keeping largely silent over the issues. The reason is that our money is being drawn down by Government and agencies and thrown at green energy and the companies accept it gratefully. Academics are being silenced by wokedom. We are truly being ripped off and lied to.

    TOADY Watch #1 – and the BBC and Lyse are the toadies …..

    BBC overjoyed at the victory of Mark Carney of the Liberal Party in the Canadian General Election. At least he beat Pierre Poliviere, (Conservative) who is viewed as ‘Trump light’ by the BBC & Lyse, into second place. Carney might be more conservative or even ‘Conservative’ than the BBC and Lyse (she of French Canadian descent) I think as after all he was appointed by George Osborne when was Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer although, maybe not, as some might observe Cameron as PM & Osborne as CoE was a big leap in the Conservative Party’s downward decline.

    The Chancellor (The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP) made a speech at COP26 in Glasgow today (3 November 2021).

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/cop26-finance-day-speech

    Good morning – and welcome to Cop26 finance day.

    It’s easy to feel daunted by the scale of the challenge that we face.

    By sea levels rising; droughts and wildfires spreading; people forced out of their homes.

    But I look around this hall and I feel optimism.

    Why?

    Because this is the first COP to bring together so many of the world’s finance ministers, businesses and investors with such a clear common purpose:

    To deliver the promise, made in Paris six years ago, to direct the world’s wealth to protect our planet.

    Let me pay an enormous tribute to Mark Carney for his leadership – leadership that is delivering results.

    About cheap, reliable and clean electricity to power schools and hospitals in rural Africa.

    About better coastal defences in the Philippines and the pacific islands to protect people from storm surges.

    Spain rules out cyber-attack as cause of major power cuts, as travel chaos continues
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

    More appalling coverage by the idiot clones at the BBC.

    Spain rule out a cyber attack, but what do the BBC say?

    ‘Could this be a cyber attack?
    ‘The simple answer is yes, it could be, as you can never really say “never” in cyber.
    But it is far too early to say, and it is far more likely that some sort of accident or technical mistake has caused the outage.
    If it is a cyber attack, it would be completely unprecedented in scale and impact.’

    And they even heavily infer who did it:
    ‘Russian state-sponsored hackers from a notoriously powerful hacking unit known as Sandworm are accused of causing power cuts in Ukraine. ‘

    Those darn Russians again. Totally irresponsible, gutter level ‘journalism’ once again.

    And of course they do their best to inject as much empathy as possible in their desperate attempts to make somebody a ‘victim’.

    The BBC managed to find someone who had to wait for their train:
    ”We all slept on the floor like dogs’ – Barcelona passenger’
    Boo hoo. Should have just sat in a chair. Headline news at the BBC – and a very high chance they added the ‘like dogs’ bit themselves. They do that a lot these days.

    Here’s who wrote that:
    1608027698762?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=TdJoBivbwgurp-sut1QY0mlQMt_lTLLeoNZ6wC_De50

And let’s just ignore Mike Freer and his stab vests; that was ages ago.

    “The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon” by Rudyard Kipling
    It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

    They were not easily moved, They were icy — willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

    Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

      What caused it?
      The Portuguese prime minister, Luís Montenegro, said that the issue originated in Spain. Portugal’s REN said a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” had caused a severe imbalance in temperatures that led to the widespread shutdowns.

      REN said: “Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 kV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration’. These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.”

    Just listening to ex-beeboid Jane Garvey, more BBC than when she was at the BBC, on Times talking about men being able to carry out mammograms. Kemi Badenoch says she wouldn’t want that and that maybe we should recruit more female radiographers.

    Shock horror…naturally she’s entitled to her opinion we hear and don’t want to downplay concerns but….

    I’m betting any woman but Badenoch would get a fully sympathetic hearing and a full agreement that this procedure should be carried out by female radiographers…or at least the option should be there to choose.

    But no…Badenoch was sneered at and dismissed….a double act between Garvey and Dr Sarah Jarvis…not only a choice for the Times but so often the favourite female doctor of choice on the BBC.

    Gotta love that liberal fascism that permeates 90% of the media in this country….no doubt the champagne is popping re Canada.

BBC correspondent finds personal belongings along with a towel and a pair of underpants discarded in or by the coils of razor wire along the border. BBC = pants.

    And to demonstrate that the BBC = pants and really does not like President Trump, up pops JustRemainIn Webb and Sarah Smith and another Beeboid, Matt Chorley, to rubbish what President Trump has done in his first 100 days as President. A selective interview is included whereby one women is interviewed about the effects of President Trump’s tarriffs especially on China. The Chinese have responded with tarriffs of their own and this woman imports components to manufacture bags. She said she will have a hard time as these components are made in China and will become much more expensive to import for her business. A very selective viewpoint; typical BBC!

    I’m sure the BBC will catch up with the news….of course if you have to formulate a suitable narrative that trashes the ‘bad’ news I guess you need a bit of time to write it up in language that condemns the sceptic and pushes your own pro-climate change [irrational?] spin….Love to see how the BBC writes this one up Blair not being someone they can dismiss as some right-wing Trumpian denier….

    In the Guardian, Telegraph and elsewhere but not the BBC as Blair launches torpedo at nut zero….

    ‘Tony Blair has called for the government to change course on climate, suggesting a strategy that limits fossil fuels in the short term or encourages people to limit consumption is “doomed to fail”.

    In comments that have prompted a backlash within Labour, the former prime minister suggested the UK government should focus less on renewables and more on technological solutions such as carbon capture.

    Blair said people were “being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know that their impact on global emissions is minimal”. He said “any strategy based on either ‘phasing out’ fossil fuels in the short term or limiting consumption is a strategy doomed to fail”.

    Writing the foreword for a report from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), he said the current climate debate was “riven with irrationality” and suggested net zero was losing public support.’
