  510. Thankyou Neil Oliver. Both sides of the house knew the public would eventually wise-up. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time; but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Hence the climate as the "fall back" once the virus lie has run its course. What's really happening is that the major parties are working together. What is happening now is pure Common Purpose / 77 Brigade – pure psyops, and a long time in the planning. It is aimed at destroying institutions and poisoning the minds of the young , the feeble-minded and the uneducated. The political class (the 3 main parties) are in connivance; THAT MUCH MUST BE OBVIOUS BY NOW? They can't admit it, obviously, but the 3 main parties are advocating WEF communism/tyranny. The western world economies are already being centralised. WEF Agenda 30 : No property ownership. Dependency on the state JUST TO SURVIVE. Social credit/ central bank digital currencies/ universal basic income (currently being trialed in Wales right now!!) – all eventually to be linked to a biometric data record of the individual. Whatever money/credit you have, it'll be controlled how/where/when you can SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY. They'll be able to freeze your a/c. So they can more or less reduce you to penury (even if you are a notional cash millionaire) and there'll be NO RECOURSE, and absolutely NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Understand this. Because the internet and platforms like this one are now so censored, it won't be long before you'll NEVER AGAIN read any such warning. Always recommend people watch UK Column. A sure way of understanding what is REALLY happening.

  1238.  @timredd  Hi Tim. So much more to this – but my comment has been censored almost out of existence, despite it being referenced. A typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds, about the size of a travel trunk. It contains twenty-five pounds of lithium, sixty pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminium, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells. To manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for one battery. The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, they also need gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium- diselenide, and cadmium-telluride, which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the workers. Furthermore the panels cannot be recycled. Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fibreglass, and the hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. There may be a place for these technologies, but at the same time we must look beyond the myth of zero emissions. "Going Green" may sound like the Utopian ideal but when you take a realistic look at the hidden and embedded costs, you can see that “Going Green” is more destructive to the Earth's environment than meets the eye. So, to be clear, I'm not opposed to electric vehicles, wind or solar. But they are not some magical Earth Friendly cure for humanity.

  1372.  @rosemaryhowes8047  Hafez al-Assad was the bad apple. He was funding and supporting Arab terrorists (eg. Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas etc.) in Israel and Lebanon. Had he seized his opportunity of statesmanship, he could have been a peace-broker and now remembered for halting Israel expansionism and belligerence. Instead, he is remembered for the Six Day War which he lost, and the loss of The Golan Heights. For I sincerely believe that Israel has acted intolerably towards its neighbours; but that its neighbours caused the very worst of Zionism (ie. both are at fault). I think Bashar al-Assad is a very different leader. A much better man than his father. But, The West betrayed him. (And in the end, so did Russia.) But the complexity in resisting al-Qaeda and ISIL have demanded an alliance with someone. And I totally understand why he did not choose The West. I'm far from convinced the chemical weapons used in 2018 that The West has blamed on Bashar al-Assad. Wiki is utterly unreliable; and the BBC's Jeremy Bowen has a track record going back to The Iraq War of utterly misleading reporting. Knowing the capacity for The West's state media to lie (which we all know it still does), I'm more inclined to believe reports from sources (eg. Vanessa Beeley – who the awful BBC tried to character assassinate) on the ground that have fed back some very interesting truths (eg. about the role played by the so-called White Helmets) to organisations like U K Column. My over-riding compassion is for the poor Syrian people. Their suffering (like Iraqis) has been unimaginable.

  1528. Like the Russians did post-Perestroika? See how that worked out for ordinary people! I agree with you Gary in that fundamental reform is needed. The chances of that happening? Personally, I'd scrap the H of Lords. ALL public pensions would be capped at £40K for the top tier, with massive redistribution of money to all pensionable people who've CONTRIBUTED for 25 years minimum. (The pensions of people who earned over £80K per annum should be the cut-off. If they've not squirrelled away enough to live on after that, then that is their look out.) No access to NHS services unless a minimum of 5 years permanent contribution; and then I'd 'tier' that access. NHS services would return to a central focus of preserving life. I'd scrap the culture of the QUANGO; devolve powers to proper-elected local authorities and make them accountable. In other words, return to a structure that existed pre-1980. School reform with curricular reform; carrying serious penalties to teachers and heads if not implemented. More controversially, I'd return to capital punishment for specific crimes so long as there is exacting evidence (eg. the murderers of Lee Rigby who were caught red-handed). Prison reform: in the 1960s and 1970s idiots like Lord Longford were seen for what they were. How did The Howard League become the player it has? Out of place, out of ideas, and utterly unrepresentative of the public's notions of "reform" or justice. No wonder criminals don't fear the law! Human Rights Law would be scrapped; replaced with a bill of rights AND RESPONSIBILITIES. No more "positive discrimination" and subversive quota recruitment. Merit only henceforth. ALL the NuLabour diversity rubbish to be discarded: we saw how career coppers who were hard working and competent were rejected for creatures like Ali Desai. Scrap public sector broadcasting in its current form; replace with focused commissioning of specific programming with proper balanced and proportional journalism from all political wings. I'd also consider scrapping OFCOM; bring the role "in-house" and under government control and in alignment with legislation that guards it from political interference. That would be a beginning.

  1916. I'd like Neil to explain the last comment: how does one walk away from the "old life"? Where can one go? I have Irish citizenship as well as British; but Ireland has descended into a tyranny already, and is probably worse than the UK at present for coercion, threats, police intimidation and fear-mongering. Where can one go? UK is a one party state in 3 of its countries. Corruption in public life is endemic. The media are nothing other than government propagandists. If the peoples break free of this tyranny, a merciless approach to dealing with the perpetrators and their facilitators is essential. A message that is carried down for centuries NO MATTER HOW BLOODY. We must do it for us, for our children, and their children. The great 'liberal' experiment that has been at least the last 50 years must end. Police retrained and motivated to reflect the aims of Sir Robert Peel's police to protect the public and pursue criminals. The cult of individual rights that has been set against majority rights, and which has eroded standards of behaviour, must end too. A wholesale review of the law and its officers needs urgent consideration. And no one should have the right to residence here; it should be considered a privilege to any one who migrated (first generation or older). A full disclosure of all who have been through Common Purpose courses and its networks must be disbarred from ALL PUBLIC OFFICE with immediate effect, AND FOR LIFE. If Common Purpose is found to have operated outside of the laws of the land (which I suspect it has constantly done) then it should be outlawed and its officers held to account.

  2359. I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic empty). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Could we PLEASE encourage all propagandised and delusional environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented – as is this particular little boy. How and from WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Net Zero is total b******s. Climate crisis is BS 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  2880. All the farmsteads that first established themselves were in the valley areas to begin with, close to water where there was fertile pasture and the evolving system of roads. As with all rapid growth of population, they began to organise themselves and became increasingly integrated so that a hierarchy/governance established itself. This happened over centuries to the point where you have something that identifies (at least notionally) as a nation state, enabling specialisation and civic planning. Defence systems become necessary as outside forces plunder the wealth of large-scale production. Hattusha was one of many such settlements – and not always the capital. As the settlement grew in importance, the city walls (at first just above and behind the farms where the 'early elite' resided) needed expanding for security. Tudhaliya IV the penultimate "Great King" expanded the walled city to encompass the upper area; and despite most of the buildings being temples, it could contain 50,000 people in the (albeit unlikely) attempt at a siege or other emergencies. The location of natural springs outside the upper city allowed the Hittites to engineer the piping of water to reservoirs within the walls and the distribution of water right through the walled enclosure (and quite possibly beyond). You have to consider that invading armies have major logistics to overcome – not just food and water, but the ability to mobilise. Vast tracts of the Hittite's hinterland had no road systems, were utterly impassible and densely wooded. So part of the strategy of the city defences was to keep it as such: limiting and narrowing the passage of people through areas where resistance (and taxation) could be exacted. For instance, the Cillician Gates HAD to be secured otherwise no one could move in either direction – traders or the military.

  2962. I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaboard by diesel trains for export. From there it is then shipped to Ellesmere Port (UK) on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic EMPTY). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines (90 miles) to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Cretins like Todd Smith have their heads filled with lies and nonsense; and haven't the wit to see it. From WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and rain forrests of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low right now is largely because they "exported" it: their manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. Net Zero is total b******s. Climate "crisis" is pure BS 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  3030.  @cannavaras  A typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds, about the size of a travel trunk. It contains twenty-five pounds of lithium, sixty pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminium, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells. To manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for one battery. The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, they also need gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium- diselenide, and cadmium-telluride, which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the workers. Furthermore the panels cannot be recycled. Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fibreglass, and the hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. "Going Green" may sound like the Utopian ideal but when you take a realistic look at the hidden and embedded costs, you can see that “Going Green” is more destructive to the Earth's environment than meets the eye. There may be a place for these technologies, but at the same time we must look beyond the myth of zero emissions. I'm not opposed to electric vehicles, wind or solar. But they are not some magical Earth Friendly cure for humanity.

  3227.  @mia6304  I am for real. Prince Andrew is thoroughly discredited. An awful man who is an embarrassment to his family and friends. His interview (which I haven't watched) reflects an arrogant, spoilt, detached and stupid individual. But this is all being played-out in the court of public opinion. And THAT narrative seems to be singularly narrow, don't you think? Virginia Giuffre is far from snow white. And whilst this feeds a prejudice that fits female victimhood, all I'm saying is I don't buy it. It is NOT a defence of Prince Andrew. It is a criticism of the conduct of the media, the inability of the wider public to view their manipulation by the media, and of a culture that encourages women and men to accept their own shallowness in the face of an inducement such as status and money. WHAT does this speak to you of, when young women like Giuffre behave like they have and then decades later expect the world to view their past behaviour within the optics of their own personal sense of grievance? Her family and friends must be SO proud? Actually, I just feel for her husband and children; but then again, I wonder has her husband played a role in a "grand design" to seek fame and fortune at the expense of a public figure. (We may never know the truth of his role, if any.) Curious how down the years underage women have thrown themselves at pop stars, sportsmen and actors, bragged about it, written about it, and generally see no fault in their behaviour. Some might consider the difference between such men and Prince Andrew a distinction that is anything but clear cut.

  3315. There is barely a 'far right'. Whatever Far Right you suppose there is, it is marginalised, and it is NOT part of mainstream sentiment felt across most of this land. However, ordinary people of no particular political allegiance, are able to discern that the very real and dangerous 'Political Left' have been stifling debate, controlling the agenda on the MSM, and ignoring the sensitivities of decent people. This is one of the very worse debates I've ever listened to on Spike. I would say to the participants: you are submerged in leftist claptrap and exhibit the 'woke' cowardice that could precipitate catastrophe. The Burnley banner flyer does not deserve your vitriol; just a pity the police, social and child welfare services and other assorted cowards (and you can be counted among them) who couldn't be relied upon to speak out on the culture that allowed mass grooming and rape of vulnerable white girls in towns JUST LIKE Burnley, never get held to account. As for TR? I may not like him. I may not like those who surround him. Above all, I may not agree with him. But this is the nub: he is one of the most misquoted, selectively quoted and misrepresented of individuals in the public eye that I know of. To listen to his address at the Oxford Union, and to watch Panodrama, it would require a person of particular bone-headedness, closed-mindedness and someone devoid of all rationalism to then deny that TR hasn't a point or three worth mulling over. (Certainly, Ash Sarkar – who you later mention – seems to think her type "are winning"). Maybe you agree with her? It is worth considering that the antagonism and malice TR has endured somewhat outweighs the cruelty he has been subjected to – not just historically in the town of his birth, but by the bigoted fascist 'Left', and also by the police and the judiciary. You three should hang your heads in shame. But what am I thinking 🤔 'the youthful Left' see no culpability in the appalling injustices suffered by the white working class as a result of your 'progressiveness'. The shame is actually entirely yours.

  3383. And the 'environment lobby' are overlooking one very inconvenient fact: hydrogen burns to WATER VAPOUR – far and away the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas". I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe and having heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers, so when burning coal, it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (which, by the way, then return across the Atlantic empty). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. It should be said that Drax had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest. Environmentalists need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Ask yourself a basic question: from which location is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Therefore it must be additionally asked: is the carbon cost of importation from the Far East falling on the UK or the exporters? Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  3540.  @oinkleberry  The need to answer the "Alien mystery", and the writing of weak scripts to do it, I view as two distinct matters. I agree with you: the scripts are ruinous. But for me, 1979's Alien was good (no other superlative seems quite justified). The 1986 film Aliens, had so many strengths too – but utterly missed a golden chance to offer a plausible follow-up and to develop the 'mystery and wonder' of "Alien". Aliens (1986) might well have been a stunning film on so many levels, but it sort of blew the gaff on the creatures – which themselves seemed neither as stealthy, so 'other worldly', or in a perverse sense so 'beautiful' (the translucent cranium of the original Geiger creature was quite arresting to me, despite the opportunity to appreciate it being momentary). A good second film to my minds-eye would have had all the excitement that Cameron achieved, but enhanced 'the mystery' with mere hints and expressions at what the deadly creature's intelligence, motivations, and evolutionary history might be. Re. this latter point: the alien might well be able to hybridise with other alien animals (such as human), but maybe it came from a world where the range of fauna was as numerous as Earth's – but where it's capacity to dominate its environment was no more than a lion on the Serangeti, or shark in the ocean. (An unimaginable savage and dangerous-to-humans planet(s) could have been an arresting seed to sow in an audience primed with terror already?) SO MANY THOUGHT-PROVOKING ideas could have been introduced. And that is what left me so dissatisfied with it all. The poverty of ideas irked me more than the anaemic and witless script-writing. So, to conclude. A whole gamut of ideas and possibilities was never explored – or for that matter given a moment to reflect upon. Great films tend to have that enigmatic property: from Citizen Kane's "Rosebud", Bladerunner's "tears in rain" ending, Clear And Present Danger's "sorry Mr President…I don't dance" (to the President's invitation to do the 'Potomac Two-Step').

  3595.  @bauhausbauhaus9699  Operation Yewtree was aimed at Tory Party members or Tory supporting public figures for a reason. It was the run up to a general election where the outcome was meant to be uncertain (there was talk of coalitions). The fact was the contrary; and the 'Left' were desperate to recover ground in the polls. Hence the deliberate attempt by Common Purpose operatives (the public sector is run by them, especially the judiciary, CPS and the police) to smear AT ALL COSTS the Tory Party as a whole. Remember, all on the word of a KNOWN liar and paedophile, Carl Beech (AKA 'Nick'). What is frightening is how Common Purpose could control what was placed in the public arena before, during and after the entire mud-slinging operation. (The 'big name players' in all this are Blair, Mandelson and Mark ('Lord') Malloch Brown. But there are MANY other NuLabour senior figures involved. Common Purpose is a 'political charity' (whatever that is, apart from its stutus means it pays no tax on enormous donations from Soros, Gates and others) and is secretive about its staff and its 'graduates'. Brian Gerrish of UK Column News has been on its trail many years. He knows more than he can say publicly. But as an ex Royal Navy submariner officer he has an inside 'ear' on how they identify to themselves etc. So, Freemasons are used as a smoke screen. The real 'Fifth Column' is Common Purpose. (It is how lifelong members of the Communist Party of Britain like Susan Michie of SAGE now operate at the very heart of government). Delingpole's interview last week of Jennifer Arcuri is very interesting (on Bitchute) – the first 65 mins.

  3597.  Jeff Whitman  Thankyou from 🇮🇪🇬🇧 for your truly considered views. I fear that there's no impetus either in America or here in Ireland and the UK to reform its institutions. Ireland's politics has been hijacked by some specific vested interests – and typically they are 'Americans' (notionally at least) investing in Ireland. They have massive political influence; almost all consuming. The UK has a different challenge; it has a Marxist network (which happens to have charitable status, and thus pays no taxes) that goes by the name of Common Purpose. Common Purpose (effectively NuLabour) place-men occupy the senior ranks of the civil service, local government, police and judiciary, education, NHS, the armed forces (amongst the last to fall), quangos, charities AND LARGE PRIVATE COMPANIES that tender for government contracts. Amazingly, the public are largely unaware of any of it or even its existence! There are distinct parallels with 1930s Germany. RINOs – what are you thinking? This is happening to America only because your MSM is hiding the truth from the masses. However, it is BIGGER than CNN/MSNBC/NY Times etc. THIS HAS TO STOP. This has never been about "a virus". This has the World Economic Forum's fingerprints all over it; but it can only take effect when your banks/media/politicians permit it. Unthinkable as it is, but maybe a civil war is needed to sort this out…and there's an air of inevitability UNLESS your leaders (and other western leaders) speak up and tell it as it is. America has suffered with structural inequalities for 100 years or more. It allowed the mafia to run the country from the 1920s to the 1960s. You can beat them you can beat this. The problem is not capitalism; it is how you share opportunity. But somewhere down the line, you are going to have to address the powers of bigtech, bigpharma, your financiers, the military industrial complex, the MSM etc.

  3654.  @billsmith3771  I understand what you are saying. And agree. But, it must be also borne in mind that the Brexit supporting public could have split the Tory vote and allowed the election of either Labour, or a Labour-lead alliance of SDP and Greens etc. In one respect, it had been seen to do that at the Peterborough bye-election earlier in the year; but also elsewhere. All the talk was of "tactical voting", of which the 'Remain Alliance' (and especially the BBC, Channel4 and Sly News axis were giving endless airtime to), and by which time we had already had 3 votes on Brexit (1.Referendum 2,Local elections 3. European elections) in which all 'Leave' candidates had flourished and dominated the results. It was STILL BEING TOUTED right up to the day of the Nov 2019 General Election that it was a close run, and that Corbyn could be elected. Therein lies the reason for Nigel Farage advising his followers (Brexit Party, Tory and Labour, and even what was left of UKIP in all likelihood) to back Johnson and Gove. It was a rock and a hard place call; but to ensure Brexit was delivered, it was a necessary call. Farage's detractors played on it. But Brexit supporters could see the situation for what it was. The SDP leader, committed to reversing the referendum result, lost her seat to the SNP. Labour are in the wilderness and split hopelessly. And we have a philanderer, cheat and liar who had no mind for Brexit or its negotiation so long as the clot made it to No.10. And that, my friend, is democracy in the UK 21st century style. That is what it took to defeat a puppet business 'stalking horse' like Gina Miller, The Speaker, the two main political parties who reneged on promises to honour the referendum result, the judiciary (in the form of the preposterous Baroness, Lady Hale), the MSM but especially the BBC, Channel4, Sly News and ITN, the civil service (Ollie Robbins who wished to undermine the Brexit support by 'creating' the worst of deals), and the UTTER BASTARDS like Clegg, Heseltine, Blair and Ken Clark who went to Brussels to advise them on strategy to defeat BREXIT. So lets just remember this and keep any criticism (overt and implied) of Nigel Farage in perspective? I thank you.

  3753. And the 'environment lobby' are overlooking one very inconvenient fact: hydrogen burns to WATER VAPOUR – far and away the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas". I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe and having heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers, so when burning coal, it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel.

The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Therefore it must be additionally asked: is the carbon cost of importation from the Far East falling on the UK or the exporters? Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  3776. My God James, I do hope so. Same traitors in 🇮🇪and🇬🇧 It is the deliberate destruction of western-style liberal democracies ALL DONE behind the cloak OF A SO-CALLED VIRUS and CLIMATE CRISIS CONSPIRACY – an excuse for suspending parliamentary processes that have existed for centuries, and for passing emergency legislation. But it is communism, and almost certainly formulated by WEF's Klaus Schwab. Not an overtly politically 'idealistic' communism (though it yet may be). This is a globalist tyranny. But it amounts to precisely the same – property ownership by an élite, seizure of private wealth, state dependency and feudalism for the masses. We need to stop this. And it may come to civil war. No decade-long trials at The Haigh. Rapidly deal with EVERY single individual who has either explicitly or tacitly facilitated this, and send a message down the centuries as a warning to others who'd attempt this again (cf. the French Revolution's 'La Terreur" of 1793-4). I suspect this scale of blood-letting is now the only escape for citizens who wish to recover democracy. An appalling notion; but the perpetrators of this evil are unyielding to reason or the ears of its electorates. After that, we will need to re-build our institutions from the ground up. It will take time. But any hint of Marxism must be immediately and permanently dealt with; and a massive return of wealth from the oligarchs back to legitimate working and middle-class tax-payers from whom it's been stolen.

  3916. I think she dealt competently with his obfuscation and distraction. He is propagandised. ____________________________________________________________________________________ This is how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaboard by diesel trains for export. From there it is then shipped to Ellesmere Port (UK) on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic ). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines (90 miles) to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. How and from WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low right now is largely because they "exported" it: their manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. Not only is the air better, but so is the view. If they open their eyes, just maybe their minds will follow. Net Zero is total b******s. Climate "crisis" is pure BS 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4196. Donnachadh McCarthy ('Independent Columnist') has been spouting the same nonsense for years, and panicking people needlessly. Plenty of experts agree there is no climate emergency. I'm more sceptical having looked at the arguments from both sides; and natural cycles have been observable for at least 4,500 years. I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe – had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest. Now it burns biofuel grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada where it is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (and those ships return across the Atlantic empty by the way). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists are delusional, and need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Nuclear MAY be one option – but takes years to bring online (and I don't remember 'environmentalists' much liking this option in any case). Hydrogen requires A LOT of electricity to make – and burns to WATER VAPOUR, the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas" of them all! Ask yourself a basic question: from which location does that huge carbon footprint fall on the UK? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? Not forgetting the cost and carbon footpring of importing those goods from the Far East and elsewhere. The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Getting the MSM to give reasonable voice to the argument is a major problem. The simple fact is: Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4216. What about them? You do realise the targets there are Iranian-backed militias who are murdering indiscriminately local populations there, and who are coveting Saudi's oil fields? A really bad example of a side to take in a discussion. Concerning capital punishment: this is why a country needs strong institutions that can't easily be corrupted; where there are reliable checks and balances. The UK's institutions are now riven by corruption; much of it attributable to Common Purpose (enfranchised by 'Left Wingers' like Tony Blair and Mark Malloch Brown?). If the UK had capital punishment, I'd imagine false evidence would be laid against all who challenge authority. Perhaps Alex Belfield would have been one such target? The Barrington Declaration signatories. Julian Assange perhaps? The parliamentary democracy that you were all meant to believe would protect you from tyranny? How's that going? Just look at the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill? And the Online Safety Bill (formerly the Online Harms Bill)? Both are going through your parliament right now! You honestly think (bearing in mind how the bills are worded) that they'll be used against the criminal classes? They will be used against LAW ABIDING PEOPLE FOR THE PURPOSES OF CONTROL. No one wants more than me to see the murderers of Lee Rigby being put to the sword. But there's terrible dangers when authority is corrupted. The institutions of The West (from police forces, to WHO and beyond) need profound reform before people rush to ill-thought ideas of capital punishment. Be careful what you wish for. 🖖🏻and🤝from🇮🇪☘

  4261. And they are overlooking one very inconvenient fact: hydrogen burns to WATER VAPOUR – far and away the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas". I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (which, by the way, then return across the Atlantic empty). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. It should be said that Drax had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest. Environmentalists need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Ask yourself a basic question: from which location is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Therefore it must be asked, is the carbon cost of importation from the Far East falling on the UK or the exporters? Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4303. @Paulette – Ok. But, actually you are missing the point. And, that point is? The Left don't want YOU to be able to listen to Joe Rogan. Fascist parties and movements differ (sometimes, significantly from one another); but they have many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of élites. Now, there may not be extreme militaristic nationalism across The Five Eyes (YET!) But what if that is the next step? The neo-Left are fascistic by word and deed. And who are that élite? 'Old Family Money' from banking and financial sectors? 'New Moneyed' in the form of the private equity companies (eg. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street Corp'n, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.), so-called 'bigTech' and 'bigPharma'? How about the role of the Common Purpose Organisation – a Marxist 'front' for 'The Left' that has control of the entire UK public sector and spread right through The Commonwealth ("The Five Eyes")? How about the parts being played by George Soros (who bankrolls leftist legal teams in the cities besieged by BLM and leftist mayors) and who diverts huge funding to the 'old' (MSM) media? The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation doing the same as Soros, but also funding failed 'vaccine programs' around the Third World (to enormous cost of life, by the way)? Understand the global western destruction is at the hands of an élite. A 'Leftist' élite. What is happening today is a modern incarnation of what dominated many parts of central, southern, and eastern Europe between 1919 and 1945 and that also had adherents in western Europe. IT. IS. FASCISM. 🤝🇮🇪🇬🇧

  4630. It isn't an answer. Net zero is decades away? The needs for fossil fuels is now. if it wasn't, why are countries like China and India building them still? If sea levels are rising, why have the Obamas bought property on the shorelines of The Hamptons and Hawaii, where the buildings are less than 10' above sea level? ———————————————————————————————————————————— I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel.

  4667.  @triodehexode  I'm not sure by the 1980s our "great manufacturing industry" was that great? British Leyland and Ford workers took to striking like ducks to water. A lot of structural problems in British manufacturing, culminating in the Winter of Discontent and the failure of Labour's In Place of Strife. It even happened to my employer ICI. I started off in group export at Welwyn Garden City (petroleum refined products, pharmaceuticals, paints, plastics fibres etc.) Under John Harvey-Jones it was the first British company to make £1 billion profit. Wilton Works on Teeside employed 4,000 directly and about 4 times as many indirectly (maybe more), and that was even a decade after the OPEC crisis that lead to the shedding of thousands of jobs. ICI had manufacturing all over the country and the world. The UK was a high tax economy under Labour. Top rate was 80%; but low-income households were still paying 50% tax on their salary. The revenue to restructure and regenerate essential infrastructure had to come from somewhere. And there was nothing left to tax ordinary people with. Privatisation was mixed both in blessings and outcomes. But at the time, it was (very generally speaking) Hobson's choice. You have to bear in mind, asset stripping (rationalisation in less sensitive terms) was happening LONG before companies like Lonrho, Trafalgar House and Hansen Trust ever came to the public's awareness. Doesn't everyone drive a BMW and didn't everyone vote for Brexit 🤔 Seriously, how demeaning is that? Anyway 🖖🏻🤝🇮🇪☘

  4803. Envirnomentalists (and commentators like Donnachadh McCarthy of The 'Independent') have been spouting the same nonsense for years, and panicking people needlessly. Plenty of experts agree there is no climate emergency. I'm more sceptical having looked at the arguments from both sides; and natural cycles have been observable for at least 4,500 years. I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe – had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest. Now it burns biofuel grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada where it is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (and those ships return across the Atlantic empty by the way). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists are delusional, and need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Nuclear MAY be one option – but takes years to bring online (and I don't remember 'environmentalists' much liking this option in any case). Hydrogen requires A LOT of electricity to make – and burns to WATER VAPOUR, the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas" of them all! Ask yourself a basic question: from which location does that huge carbon footprint fall on the UK? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? Not forgetting the cost and carbon footpring of importing those goods from the Far East and elsewhere. The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! The MSM has failed for 4 decades to give reasonable voice to both sides of the 'climate debate' – treating modellers like it is science. It is not science. The MSM has long ago switched from informing the public, to opinion-forming through propaganda. The simple fact is: Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4831. It doesn't. Look at our government and official opposition! ————————————————————————————————— I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaboard by diesel trains for export. From there it is then shipped to Ellesmere Port (UK) on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic EMPTY). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines (90 miles) to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. How and from WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low right now is largely because they "exported" it: their manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. Besides, the view is better. Who knows: if they open their eyes, maybe their minds will follow. Net Zero is total b******s. Climate "crisis" is pure BS 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4838. Anyone who labels others "a denier" doesn't believe sufficiently in the strength of their point of view. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal, was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. Biofuel grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada, where it is harvested and converted locally from raw material into a combustable 'woodchip' – processes which are energy-intensive and operate continuously. The product is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains from where it is exported to Ellesmere Port in a diesel-powered ship, after which the ship returns to America empty. Once off-loaded at the dockside, the biofuel is transported across The Pennines to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists are delusional if they expect rational people to believe that this is 'green'. Besides, from where exactly does that huge carbon footprint fall on the UK? Ellesmere Port, or the prairies and former rain forest of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! What about the carbon cost of importation from the Far East and elsewhere? Net Zero is total b******s, and idiots who can't tell real science from pseudo-science and computer modelling need telling 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  4839.  @jaylands9556  "Denier" is a control word. I'd suggest you never use it; it is rooted in holocaust denial. Trapped heat and gases is not certain science at all. It is modelling and based on presumptions. Human pollution? CO2 is essential for photosynthesis in plantlife. CO2 is not causing acidification of our oceans – a blatant lie. Carbonic acid is barely detectable in litmus tests, and saltwater is already acidic. Desertification: did you know that Egypt's pharaohs were hunting lions, ostriches, crocs and the like in the Libyan Desert in the Early and Middle Kingdoms but not in the Late Kingdom? The Libyan Desert that is now, was savannah until then. 4/5 of the globe's landmass is in the northern hemisphere. This fact, planetary procession, Mankovitch cycles and sun activity are more likely "climate" variables. Flooding and other such natural disasters are present all through history: in the modern age, more problems are rooted in land-use and concentrations of population across centuries if not millennia. I have considered evidence, and listened to experts from both divides. Where I once believed, I no longer do. It is largely a construct of anti-capitalists and assorted anarchists all of whom have 'denied' proper scrutiny, debate, and lied. University of East Anglia foremost. Their Hockey Stick graph? It might have been "officially cleared" but too many experts with no dog in the fight all said it was a white wash and a total fudge. But I'm not here to change your mind Ciou 🖖🏻☘

  4910.  @K_a_r_l_o_s  And that they act like an oligopoly. There's been no real competition or 'market place' (just companies that have existed on market speculation, almost all of whom have folded). Plenty of genuine climate scientists agree there is no climate emergency. I'm more sceptical than ever, having looked at the arguments from both sides; and observable changes have been recorded for at least 4,500 years in the Near and Middle East. I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe – had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest.

  4962.  @oinkleberry  Are we not broadly in agreement? Isn't the power of any narrative found in its plausibility? Re-reading all your thoughts as I interpret them, you desire plausible answers, whereas I'm quite indifferent to the need for any such revelations (unless those answers are worthy of the original 1979 Alien film whose legacy we would wish to have preserved). Once we saw the aliens in the 1986 Cameron sequel, for me at least (at some level or another) it became Jurassic Park meets Star Trek. I'm glad that you enjoyed (as you put it) "the aesthetics, visuals, thematics and esoteric identity" of Prometheus. It isn't that I dislike them, but that I feel no engagement with the idea of any of it. That difference aside, there is a deleted airlock sequence (it can be viewed 4:10 to 4:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF6An_fs8eA&list=PL3Js5pJZN4Mn64MdBJPH2-I7yldlfiqz9&index=21&t=0s) and to me it shows a sort of terrifying beauty and majesty about the original creature that is utterly missing from Cameron's Aliens (1986). If you've not seen it, I think you'll be impressed by it; it is brilliantly filmed by Ridley Scott , though omitted for good reason from the final version. But the short sequence makes the creature look better than at the end of the film when Ellen Ripley expels it from the Nostromo's escape pod. For me, I'd have preferred a sequel that returned to LV 426, aged the 'space jockey' (is it a fossil, or semi-fossilised? Just imagine how old it might be!). An exploration of the vessel (not just the egg chamber) that offered a dimension on the 'biomechanical fusion' of its design and construction, possible salvageable technologies (even a sort of Rosetta Stone discovery that deciphered, explained more intriguing circumstances of the ruin and its lethal cargo). The 'story' could have stopped on LV426; or it needn't have. I'm sure by now you'll have a handle on my preferred direction of story development. It is always intriguing to hear what 'fellow-travellers' think about a shared passion. If you find any similar discussions that are similarly creative in outlook and offer their own unique 'take', let me know, please? (I've never read the Alien comics, and don't play video games.)

  5020. The 'environment lobby' are overlooking one very inconvenient fact about hydrogen: it burns to WATER VAPOUR – far and away the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas". I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe and having heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers, so when burning coal, it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (which then return across the Atlantic empty). Off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Just precisely from where is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and rain forests of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Therefore it must be additionally asked: is the carbon cost of importation from the Far East falling on the UK or the exporters? Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  5391. The actress Emma Thompson sets them all an example? Just like those in the 410 private jets that flew into Glasgow for COP26? I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaboard by diesel trains for export. From there it is then shipped to Ellesmere Port (UK) on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic EMPTY). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines (90 miles) to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. How and from WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low right now is largely because they "exported" it: their manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. Net Zero is total b******s. Climate "crisis" is pure BS ☘🇮🇪

  5417. Hearing what you say; but there's been few deaths in recent years according to news reports earlier this week. So there was no panic about a planned withdrawal and leaving a reserve of support. It's clear the Taliban funding is coming from the muslim world, and that they are allowed to gather on Pakistan border territories. To pull-out like Biden ordered, was frankly lunacy. Have to ask: who is advising him? What military expertise was consulted? None of the "alliance" were consulted, so who precipitated this off-the-cuff decision? Now we see the consequences of big tech, military industrial interests and big pharma shaping the 2020 presidential election outcome. Maybe they thought they could control their designated puppet? Well. America is staring down the barrel of domestic ruination, with massive transfer of wealth to the few, and foreign policy disasters of which I fear Afghanistan is only the first. America may not have all liked Trump. Anyone can understand that. But, TO BE IMPARTIAL FOR JUST A MOMENT, no one can say he was worse than his predecessors. Can his detractors not focus for a moment on the good things Trump achieved (middle east peace agreements, standing up to Iran and China, returning blue-collar jobs to the homeland, stopping illegal migration to the country etc.) Now, Biden has thrown the entire region into fear. Just watch the moderate states like Egypt become a target of Muslim Brotherhood again. The bastards who manipulated the 2020 presidential election have to answer for themselves. Because they are chin-high in all this.

  6304. I'll tell you how mad this all is: Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, UK – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers and carbon capture, so when burning coal it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaboard by diesel trains for export. From there it is then shipped to Ellesmere Port (UK) on diesel-powered ships (and the ships return across the Atlantic EMPTY). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines (90 miles) to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. How and from WHERE is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the prairies and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low right now is largely because they "exported" it: their manufacturing is done abroad! Which raises a second question: what is the carbon cost of importation of those goods from the Far East and elsewhere? Environmentalists to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. Not only is the view better, but opening their eyes, maybe their minds will follow? Net Zero is total b******s. Climate "crisis" is pure BS 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  6755. WEF depopulation seems a provable agenda (hidden or overt). Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe that invested £millions on SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal, was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. Biofuel grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada, where it is harvested and converted locally from raw material into a combustable 'woodchip' – processes which are energy-intensive and operate continuously. The product is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains from where it is exported to Ellesmere Port in a diesel-powered ship, after which the ship returns to America empty. Once off-loaded at the dockside, the biofuel is transported across The Pennines to Drax Power Station by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists are delusional if they expect rational people to believe that this is 'green'. This is demented. Besides, from where exactly does that huge carbon footprint fall on the UK? Ellesmere Port, or the prairies and former rain forest of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! What about the carbon cost of importation from the Far East and elsewhere? Net Zero is total b******s; and idiots that can't distinguish between real science and pseudo science (climate modelling) need telling 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  6760. And the 'environment lobby' are overlooking one very inconvenient fact: hydrogen burns to WATER VAPOUR – far and away the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas". I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe and having heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers, so when burning coal, it was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest – now burns biofuel. That biofuel is grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada. It is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (which, by the way, then return across the Atlantic empty). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Ask yourself a basic question: from which location is the UK's carbon footprint calculated? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Therefore it must be additionally asked: is the carbon cost of importation from the Far East falling on the UK or the exporters? Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪

  6962. The Left don't want YOU to be able to listen to Joe Rogan. Mitchell, Young and their ilk are utter saps. Fascist parties and movements differ (sometimes, significantly from one another); but they have many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of élites. Now, there may not be extreme militaristic nationalism across The Five Eyes (YET!) But what if that is the next step? The neo-Left are fascistic by word and deed. And who are that élite? 'Old Family Money' from banking and financial sectors? 'New Moneyed' in the form of the private equity companies (eg. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street Corp'n, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.), so-called 'bigTech' and 'bigPharma'? How about the role of the Common Purpose Organisation – a Marxist 'front' for 'The Left' that has control of the entire UK public sector and spread right through The Commonwealth ("The Five Eyes")? How about the parts being played by George Soros (who bankrolls leftist legal teams in the cities besieged by BLM and leftist mayors) and who diverts huge funding to the 'old' (MSM) media? The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation doing the same as Soros, but also funding failed 'vaccine programs' around the Third World (to enormous cost of life, by the way)? They all seem to be in step with Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum…and Bilderbergers. Because these agents amount to an asymmetric assault, it is difficult to point to individuals. BUT IT IS COORDINATED. Understand the global western destruction is at the hands of an élite. A 'Leftist' élite. What is happening today is a modern incarnation of what dominated many parts of central, southern, and eastern Europe between 1919 and 1945 and that also had adherents in western Europe…and yes, even America. Talk to your children and your friends. U K Co lu, mn is a very informative source of information, analysis and commentary. And there are others too. IT. IS. FASCISM. 🤝🇮🇪🇬🇧

  6987. His point of view is based on modelling, not "real' science. Donnachadh McCarthy ('Independent Columnist') has been spouting the same nonsense for years, and panicking people needlessly. Plenty of experts agree there is no climate emergency. I'm more sceptical having looked at the arguments from both sides; and natural cycles have been observable for at least 4,500 years. I'll tell you how mad this all is, and why the eco-nutters need putting back in their box. Drax Power Station in Yorkshire – once the biggest coal-burning power station in Europe – had heavily invested in SO2 flue scrubbers so when burning coal was not only one of the most efficient plants in the world but also one of the cleanest. Now it burns biofuel grown in Brazil, the mid-west of America and the prairies of Canada where it is converted locally from being a raw fibrous material into a usable 'woodchip' which requires energy-heavy processing plants operating around the clock. It is then transported to America's eastern seaports by diesel trains. It is then shipped to Ellesmere Port on diesel-powered ships (and those ships return across the Atlantic empty by the way). Once off-loaded at the dockside, it is transported across The Pennines to Drax by Class 66 diesel locomotives. Environmentalists are delusional, and need to extract their heads from their oh-so-virtuous backsides. This isn't 'green'. This is demented. Nuclear MAY be one option – but takes years to bring online (and I don't remember 'environmentalists' much liking this option in any case). Hydrogen requires A LOT of electricity to make – and burns to WATER VAPOUR, the BIGGEST "greenhouse gas" of them all! Ask yourself a basic question: from which location does that huge carbon footprint fall on the UK? Ellesmere Port, or in the fields and jungles of the Americas? Not forgetting the cost and carbon footpring of importing those goods from the Far East and elsewhere. The real reason the UK's carbon footprint is so low is largely because you "exported" it: your manufacturing is done abroad! Getting the MSM to give reasonable voice to the argument is a major problem. The simple fact is: Net Zero is total b******s. 🖖🏻☘🇮🇪
