Time to take a break?

As Christmas comes closer, I doubt anybody wants to read me moaning about the ongoing collapse of the West due to the stupidity, greed, incompetence and venality of our West-loathing rulers.

So, I propose to give it a rest till Wednesday 3 January 2024.

Just before I go, I noticed this short video from the […]

What if they won’t sell us their oil and gas?

Monday/Tuesday blog

I’ve been surprised that our Net-Zero-obsessed rulers don’t seem to have noticed a rather major shift in geopolitics.

For years/decades our grandstanding, virtue-signalling rulers have been pompously and arrogantly telling the main oil- and gas-producing countries that their products are destroying the planet or mankind or whatever and that soon the ‘energy transition’ […]

US mainstream media’s unhinged Trump Derangement Syndrome

weekend blog

First let me say that I’m no fan of Russell Brand. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever watched any of his videos. However, this one came up when I accessed YouTube a couple of days ago. I only watched the first 10 minutes. But it opened my eyes to how totally deranged […]

Russia vs Ukraine war – who is really responsible?

Thursday/Friday blog

As our Western media continues to portray the Russia/Ukraine conflct as a clear case of good (plucky democratic Ukrainians) vs evil (Putin’s Orc army), I’m deeply troubled by what I see as misreporting.

First, let me make it clear – I am not condoning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. But Putin has made it […]

An article on The Daily Sceptic website

Wednesday blog

I have an article on the excellent Daily Sceptic website today:

The disastrous stupidity of badly measuring the wrong thing

Friday/weekend blog

What you measure is what you get

I’ll start with a story from my boring little life. Many years ago I had a summer job working on a large hydro-electric scheme. The aim was to let water flow down through a several mile tunnel during the day to generate electricity and then pump […]

Can’t they see the damage they’re doing?

Wednesday/Thursday blog

I had an article published on the excellent Daily Sceptic website:

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/12/05/cant-our-politicians-see-the-damage-they-are-doing-to-our-country-with-their-headlong-pursuit-of-net-zero/

It’s often worth taking a few minutes to read the readers’ comments as most Daily Sceptic readers are clearly a lot more intelligent than the fools and knaves who rule over us.

Bit of a busy week for Dubai’s 30,000+ prostitutes?

Monday/Tuesday blog

I’m sure most readers are eternally grateful that the world’s elites are sacrificing their valuable time to fly to oil-producing Dubai in their private jets to save us all from what the world’s greatest climatologist, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, calls ‘global boiling’. But it’s not only the world’s elites who’ll be at Cop28. […]
