Friday-weekend blog
All we ever hear about Gaza is that it is poor and undeveloped due to supposedly being oppressed by the beastly Israelis. We don’t ever hear anyone mentioning that Gazans receive more aid money per inhabitant than anywhere else in the world. In fact, Gazans receive just over double the amount of […]

We’re constantly being hectored about how we must give billions and trillions to help the world’s poor. And we now have a new twist on this story – because developed countries emit the most CO2, we apparently now need to pay so-called ‘climate reparations’ to the world’s poorest countries to help them cope […]

I’ll start this blog with a couple of paragraphs about the foreign aid fiasco from my 2015 book THE GREAT CHARITY SCANDAL
In the last sixty years around $3 trillion has been donated by developed countries to help poorer countries. There have been some huge successes – extreme poverty has been more […]

First just a minor comment. I didn’t blog yesterday as a fault with the electricity cable to my house meant I didn’t have any power for over 14 hours. Our stupid, brainwashed, snowflake, woke Generation Z are going to get a big shock when the fossil fuels they hate so much are replaced […]

Can you feel it coming?
I have previously suggested that yesterday’s conspiracy theory will inevitably become today’s or tomorrow’s reality.

Looting – Sri Lanka’s favourite national sport?
As you probably know, the once glorious island paradise of Sri Lanka is bankrupt and descending into a failed state. The three main reasons seem to me to be:
decades of utterly incompetent government massive, unrepayable loans, especially from China’s Belt and Road debt colonialism/enslavement alleged […]

China’s hungry dragon
I’ll start with a fact that many readers may not be aware of: China was the fifth-largest petroleum and other liquids producer in the world in 2019.
But China has a more than small problem. China’s consumption of petroleum products (the blue line on the chart below) is growing while […]

What’s really causing rising energy prices?
Today (Monday) the Times newspaper warned:
Millions of families in England will be dragged into fuel poverty overnight when energy bills soar this April, research has found.
The number of households who will find them unaffordable is to treble to 6.3 million when […]

Hidden censorship blocking my book?
I want to write about money today, big money, big amounts of our money. But first just a brief little story about my latest book THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS.
In March, when I decided to write THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS, I emailed my literary agent asking […]
