Today’s blog is a kind of rant. But I must be careful as anyone who doesn’t parrot the BBC mainstream media view of life could be prosecuted for some made-up new offence.
We know that five young men died in a head-on collision with a police car. The five were reported to be Michael Robert Cahill, 23, Theo Rae, 17, Cole Robert Worthy, 16, Jacob Matusiak, 23, and Makai Saddington, 18.
We know that the five young men were driving /speeding the wrong way down a dual carriageway after a police chase. The BBC and several newspapers referred to the five dead young men as “victims”.
And we’ve had tributes paid to these ‘wonderful’ young men by their families and friends:
‘I’m heartbroken to say that we lost my beloved nephew today. There are no words that can truly express the pain of losing someone so young, so loved, and so full of life.’
‘You brought so much love and happiness into our family, and your memory will stay with us forever. This loss has left a space in our hearts that can never be filled’
One commenter wrote of Theo that he was ‘taken way too soon’ and had a ‘heart of gold‘, describing as someone who would have ‘done anything for anyone’.
The sister of one of the men said her heart was ‘broken’ by the news, describing her sibling as her ‘best friend always and forever’.
Meanwhile, friends of one of the dead called his death ‘a massive devastation’ and another wrote: ‘Absolutely heartbroken, you are gonna be missed, love u lots.’
I know it will seem heartless and even politically-incorrect by some readers, but I suspect these five men were (IMHO) complete worthless scumbags who brought nothing but misery to those unfortunate enough to ever encounter them.
It has been reported that some of them had made videos appearing to show them driving recklessly and appearing to show them wearing balaclavas and riding motorcycles and e-bikes at speed on roads, pavements and across greens.
One of them also posted multiple TikTok videos appearing to show him taking part in high-speed police chases months before his death.
In one clip, filmed in May by a passenger and set to rap music, one of the men is seen in an Audi being driven at speed through a housing estate with a police car’s blue lights flashing in pursuit, before the vehicle veers across a grassy playing field in an apparent bid to shake off officers. Another video on an account associated with him shows a green Nissan being driven around before it is set alight, while separate images posted elsewhere show him and a friend posing in cars wearing black balaclavas.
We don’t know if the car they were in at the time of their deaths was stolen or not. So I shouldn’t speculate about that.
Apparently, using/stealing cars and e-bikes and riding them at speed ideally to initiate and film a police chase was a kind of hobby for these young men. They would then post videos of their ‘achievements’ on platforms like TikTok to get likes and admiration from people with similar interests.
Readers will also know that there was a simiar incident in the Republic of Ireland where five young men died driving at speed down the wrong way on a motorway. A statement by an Irish police spokesman said: “what makes this reckless behaviour even more appalling is that in some cases it is being done for social media likes, regardless of the potentially devastating impact it might have on innocent people and themselves.”
Some and media (the BBC and the Guardian?) people may see the deaths of these ten young men as a terrible heartbreaking tragedy. But others may feel that their departure from this life has been a benefit for mankind and has improved the human gene pool.
For me, the only tragedy is that innocent people have been injured and killed by these (IMHO) utterly worthless, murderous scrotes and we’re all better off without them. But that’s just my politically-incorrect opinion and absolutely not what the BBC and other media of the BBC’s ilk would like us to believe.
(Apologies to any readers who follow the ‘History Debunked’ YouTube videos. But this story is so astonishing that I believe it deserves to be spread more widely)
Andrew ‘we-all-like-our-best-mate-Andy’ Burnham, our unelected Prime Minister, was wdely praised by the usual Labour-adoring sycophants at the BBC and ITV News and C4 News for cutting bus fares from £3 to £2.
But hold on a minute. When and who raised the cap from £2 to £3? Good heavens, it was Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government which raised the national single bus fare cap in England from £2 to £3 effective January 2025.
So, Labour increased bus fares from £2 to £3 effective in January 2025 and then got adulation in the Labour-loving mainstream media when Burnham reduced them back to the £2 level the Tories had implemented. Burnham’s decision was supposed to help lower the cost of living which, Labour and most mainstream media journalists conveniently seem to have forgotten, had increased under Starmer.
I wonder why most ‘journalists’ can’t seem to remember Starmer increasing bus fares from £2 to £3 less than 2 years ago?
This (IMHO) ‘sleight of hand’ could remind the more bookish amongst us of a passage in Orwell’s 1984:
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. […] The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
Are we being gaslit by our rulers and their sycophantic, arse-slobbering parasites in the mainstream media?
I’ll leave that up to you to judge.
The four novels that tell us everything?
And while we’re on the subject of books which seem to foretell our future, I’ll make a preposterous claim – there are only four (dystopian) novels one needs to read which explain everything which is happening today. They are (IMHO) Orwell’s ‘1984’ and ‘Animal Farm’ Of course, Orwell couldn’t foresee the open-borders, mass invasion of the West and the likely ensuing civil unrest and even civil war. For that, you could consult Christopher Priest’s 1972 novel ‘Fugue for a Darkening Island‘:
And finally, neither Orwell nor Christopher Priest could have foreseen the ludicrous, economically-suicidal, totalitarian climate-catastrophist cult. For this I’d recommend journalist Ross Clark’s 2020 novel ‘The Denial‘:
So, there you have it. The four books I suggest everybody reads to understand our modern world.
I wonder if it’s worth even writing a blog today. I imagine the whole country is going so wild with excitement at the news Ginger and Whinger are moving to the UK that nobody will have time to look at any other stories. What joy! What celebrations! Complete orgasms at the BBC and ITV and other mainstream media. What a fantastic day for our impoverished downtrodden country that even more grifters are moving here whose well-being we’re going to have to pay for. What have we done to deserve this?
Global Cooling warning?
As you’ll all be too busy following the imminent arrival of the prodigal son and his charming missus, I’ll just limit myself to one chart in today’s blog. This shows the July 2026 worldwide temperatures compared to the average of the last 10 years:
The greens, yellows and reds indicate areas with higher than average temperatures and the light to dark blues show the areas with lower than average temperatures.
I thought readers might find this chart from The Visual Capitalist interesting. It shows how the value of $100 has fallen by country since 2019 due to inflation:
In Britain, the value of your money has fallen by over 23% since 2019. This is a greater loss than Southern European countries like Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain which we used to view as economic basket cases.
I hope your salary or savings or pension have increased by at least 23% over the last 6 years and 3 months, otherwise the ‘Inflation Tax’ has been making you poorer.
I hope you don’t mind me calling you “mate”. But apparently with our new ‘blokey’, cheeky-chappy next door PM, Andrew Murray Burnham, aka ‘Andy’ Burnham, we’re all “mates” now.
It ain’t Global Boiling, Mate!
In my previous (Sunday-Monday blog) I showed a chart of ‘weather temperature anomalies’ from 19-23 July 2026. By the phrase ‘weather temperature anomalies’ this means temperature deviation from a baseline called ERAS 1991-2020:
The 1991–2020 period is the official standard 30-year climatological reference baseline used by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), NOAA, and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (ERA5) to define current “climate normals” and evaluate daily or monthly weather anomalies.
My suggestion in that blog was that the current Western and Southern Europe (UK, France, Spain, Italy and Greece) heatwave could not be used as proof of any form of Global Warming’ as the majority of the European landmass actually showed temperatures (blue on the chart) below the seasonal average.
I then suggested that what we were witnessing was a ‘heat dome’ which got stuck over Western/Southern Europe. One of the reasons this heat dome was so static for so long was that the winds over this part of Europe came from an Easterly direction. The prevailing winds in Western Europe blow predominantly from the West or South-West.
A heat dome is caused by a strong, stationary high-pressure atmospheric system that moves over a region and acts like a lid on a pot. This system pushes warm air down, compresses it to make it hotter, and blocks clouds or cool winds from entering. A large, wavy northward bulge in the jet stream can trap the high-pressure system in place for days or weeks, preventing weather patterns from moving.
I have now gone to the original website of that chart – wxcharts,com – and here is the chart for Monday 17 August 2026 to Saturday 22 August:
This seems to me to indicate that the main wind direction is forecast to have changed to the more usual Westerlies and South-Westerlies and this will push the heatwave in an Easterly direction away from Western Europe towards Eastern Europe.
But as with the 19-23 July chart, the majority of the European landmass seems to be experiencing below average temperatures.
If I am (unusually) right, then this suggests that there is no ‘Global Warming European heatwave’ as the BBC and other mainstream media keep claiming. In fact, there seems to be one high pressure system which has brought exceptionally high temperatures to some parts of Europe while most of the continent has remained below average temperatures.
Conclusion: It ain’t Global Boiling, Mate!
So why are we in Britain committing economic suicide with the ludicrous Net Zero?
We are assured again and again and again and again that the current heatwave and drought are all due to ‘Global Warming’ or even UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s ‘Global Boiling’. But is this true?
In my previous (weekend) blog, I pointed out that there wasn’t a heatwave in many other parts of the world. In fact, places as far apart as Japan/China/Thailand and Hawaii were experiencing unprecedented levels of flooding.
So, I did a little bit of research (1-2 minutes on Google) to try to establish whether our heatwave was being replicated in many other places as one would expect if the heatwave was a general indication of ‘Global Warming’. I came across this chart:
This shows that for the period 19 July 2026 to 23 July 2026 which areas of Europe were experiencing temperatures above the seasonal average (yellow, red and brown) and which areas were experiencing temperatures below the season average (light blue, dark blue and purple).
I appreciate that this only shows a four day period and that to get a full understanding of what is happening to our climate you would need to see a similar chart for the whole of summer 2026. But what seems to be blindingly obvious from this chart is that there is no general warming at all. In fact, the majority of the European landmass during these dates was actually experiencing lower temperatures than their seasonal average.
What does this tell us?
I ain’t no climate expert like the BBC’s Justin Lowrat (with his Oxford University degree in PPE – Politics, Philosophy and Economics) and other mainstream media (IMHO) ‘climate catastrophists’ of his ilk. But the above chart seems to me to be indicating that this summer’s heatwave in Britain, France, Spain, Italy and Greece is most probably nothing to do with supposed ‘Global Warming’. Instead it seems to be due to a weather system – a heat dome – which got stuck near Western Europe causing unusually high temperatures and droughts in Western Europe while in many countries at the eastern edge of this heat dome, temperatures were well below seasonal averages.
Professor Google tells us:
A heat dome is caused by a strong, stationary high-pressure atmospheric system that moves over a region and acts like a lid on a pot. This system pushes warm air down, compresses it to make it hotter, and blocks clouds or cool winds from entering. A large, wavy northward bulge in the jet stream can trap the high-pressure system in place for days or weeks, preventing weather patterns from moving.
My proposition therefore is that the current heatwave is more likely to be due to a well-known weather system – a heat dome – and zilch to do with supposed ‘Global Warming’. If I am right (an unusual occurrence, I admit) then why on earth are we commiting economic suicide with the ludicrous ‘Net Zero’?
It’s a pity none of our mainstream media supposed ‘journalists’ thought it worth mentioning that the majority of the European landmass has been experiencing lower than average temperatures while we were frying. I wonder why we weren’t told this?
We’ve all been bombarded with news stories of ‘Britain on fire’ and ‘apocalyptic wildfires destroying homes‘ and ‘blazing infernos’ and suchlike. But one question the newsreaders and ‘journalists seldom, if ever, seem to ask is: “Do we know what caused the fires?”
There seem to be four main causes of wildfires – volcanoes, climate change causing spontaneous combustion, lightning strikes and human stupidity or criminality.
Volcanoes? There are no active volcanoes in mainland Britain. The last volcanic eruptions in the region occurred approximately 55 to 60 million years ago during the early Palaeogene period, associated with the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. So, I think we can rule out volcanoes
Spontaneous combustion? I believe that if a lot of coal is stored in a closed space, it can spontaneously combust. This is suspected to have been one of the contributing factors to the Titanic disaster. A fire in a starboard side coal bunker started burning as soon as the liner left Belfast considerably weakening the area of the ship which hit the iceberg. But forests and farmland do not spontaneously combust. So, while a hot dry summer may have led to the wildfires being more damaging than usual, we cannolt blame ‘climate change’ for starting the wildfires.
Lightning strikes? I believe these are often the cause of wildfires in the USA and Canada. But we haven’t had any such storms in Britain in the last few months, so lightning strikes are probably not to blame for the over 1,000 wildfires we’ve had this summer.
Human stupidity/criminality? Even the BBC admits that “Most wildfires are caused by human carelessness. Arson, campfires, discarding lit cigarettes, disposable barbecues, not burning debris properly, and playing with matches or fireworks are often blamed.” It appears that the worst of the wildfires – the one which destroyed about 19 houses in Stourbridge – started in several places almost simultaneously. That means the cause was arson.
Moreover Staffordshire Police said a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of arson over a fire in Stoke-on Trent. And a 29-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of arson in Wales after a wildfire tore through homes in the old mining village of Newbridge, Caerphilly, on Wednesday.
As I reported in a previous blog:
Since the beginning of the month, 184 people have been arrested in connection with wildfires across France. Five have already been handed jail sentences, and 15 are awaiting trial.
One of the arrested seems to have been extremely ‘productive’: “In the department of Var in south-eastern France, a 23-year-old man is in police custody for allegedly starting 10 fires. CCTV cameras helped police identify the man, who is accused of setting fires on the edge of forests while travelling between towns for several days on his motorbike”
Yet I get the feeling that our brave journalists seem rather uninterested in seeking out the causes of our many wildfires and much more interested in hyperventilating about their intensity and the role of ‘climate change’ in the extent of damage caused.
So, can we blame ‘climate change’ for the current spate of UK wildfires? A few days ago, it was reported that the display team, the Red Arrows, were cancelling appearances at several UK airshows as bad weather in Canada had prevented them returning to the UK. In the last few days at least five people have died in eastern Japan after “unprecedented” heavy rain:
In China one million people have been evacuated from their homes due to flood risk. There are massive floods in Thailand. And in March Hawaii suffered its worst flooding in more than 20 years, with people in the hardest-hit areas being urged to “LEAVE NOW” by officials. And now Maui residents prepare for storm Lala and new flooding.
Oh, and now for something completely different, – apparently coral cover on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, which we were repeatedly told was doomed due to supposed ‘climate change’, is at record levels:
Meanwhile increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are causing ‘Global Greening’ and thus a rise in agricultural output.
Yet how many mainstream media news reporters are interested in informing us about quite different weather problems and positive stories in other parts of the world?
So what does this all mean? Does exceptionally hot weather in Europe prove that ‘Global Boiling’ is happening? Does exceptionally wet weather across parts of Asia and Hawaii prove that ‘Global Drowning’ is happening? Do the Great Barrier Reef and Global Greening stories tell us that the the climate is getting better for us all? Or is it possible to find a part of the world you can use to prove any climate theory you want?
I thought EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) had been discredited and found to be partly responsible for the complete inability of our useless public sector to deliver anything in spite of ever rising salaries and budgets. After all, when it got to the stage of a senior recruitment officer in the RAF resigning in protest at the RAF turning away the best candidates for fighjter pilots because they had the ‘wrong’ skin colour, the ‘wrong’ sexual proclivities or weren’t sufficiently disabled, this should have made even the most obtuse people realise that EDI was a disaster. But (as usual) I was wrong yet again.
So, the EDI (or DIE as I prefer to call it) juggernaut blunders on ensuring that the best candidates for many public-sector jobs will usually not be hired and often the most incompetent and even corrupt can be fairly sure of being given overpaid, overpensioned public-sector jobs-for-life.
This brings us to ‘our’ NHS. The NHS was in the news recently for rejecting the Supreme Court’s ruling that there are only two biological sexes rather than 72 or however many supposed ‘genders’. But ‘our’ NHS has ignored this ruling and still allows ‘cocks in frocks’ to use female changing rooms and be placed in female wards:
Anyway, ‘our’ NHS is looking to hire an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer – Patient Experience. This vital member of our health service will be paid £39,959 – £48,117 a year.
You might be wondering what this important individual will be contributing to our nation’s health. Well here’s the answer:
Make a difference. Amplify every voice. Help reduce health inequalities.
Are you passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion? Do you believe that everyone should have equitable access to high-quality healthcare and the opportunity to have their voice heard?
We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Officer – Patient Experience to lead our patient-focused EDI agenda and help ensure services are shaped by the communities we serve. This exciting role offers the opportunity to influence change across the Trust, improve patient experiences, and champion the needs of diverse and seldom-heard communities.
Furthermore this wondrous addition to our national wellbeing will:
Work directly with patients, carers, community organisations and protected characteristic groups.
Analyse patient feedback and experience data to identify health inequalities and opportunities for improvement.
Support co-production and engagement initiatives that ensure every community has a voice in shaping services.
Lead Equality Delivery System (EDS) work and support compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and Public Sector Equality Duty.
Collaborate with clinical and operational teams to embed inclusive practice throughout the organisation
There’s loads more of this total drivel in the non-job description, such as:
Proactively design and lead the implementation of the patient experience EDI agenda within the Trust by involving those that use our services.
Provide a visible presence across the Trust, acting as a resource and role model for staff
I’ll spare you that. But if you’re interested, here’s the link to the non-job:
Don’t expect too much medical care from ‘our’ NHS. But you will get lots of DIE political correctness and, if you’re lucky, maybe even a few ‘cocks in frocks’ wandering through both the male and female parts of your local hospital.
Did you think that ‘race replacement’ was just some mad, right-wing, fascist, racist, bigotted conspiracy theory? At the end of this blog is a link to a June 2012 BBC article titled: “‘EU should ‘undermine national homogeneity’ says UN migration chief’
Let me just quote (in red) a few bits from this article by our trusted national broadcaster:
The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states, the UN’s special representative for migration has said.
Peter Sutherland told peers the future prosperity of many EU states depended on them becoming multicultural. He also suggested the UK government’s immigration policy had no basis in international law. He was being quizzed by the Lords EU home affairs sub-committee which is investigating global migration.
Mr Sutherland, who died in 2018, was quite a big hitter in the murky world of international, globalists:
Peter Denis Sutherland was an Irish businessman, barrister and Fine Gael politician who served as UN Special Representative for International Migration from 2006 to 2017. He was known for serving in various international organisations, political and business roles.
The BBC tells us:
Mr Sutherland, who is non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former chairman of oil giant BP, heads the Global Forum on Migration and Development which brings together representatives of 160 nations to share policy ideas. Mr Sutherland, has attended meetings of The Bilderberg Group, a top level international networking organisation often criticised for its alleged secrecy
Mr Sutherland admitted that it might be difficult to explain to us bigotted, racist, ignorant plebs that mass migration was good for us:
He told the House of Lords committee migration was a “crucial dynamic for economic growth” in some EU nations “however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states”.
He argued that we need to welcome: “the development of multicultural states” and that:
The European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine countries ….. who still nurse a sense of homogeneity and difference from others and that at the most basic level individuals should have a freedom of choice about whether to come and study or work in another country.
Below is the link to the June 2012 BBC article. Still think race replacement is just a mad, right-wing, fascist, racist, bigotted conspiracy theory?
It’s five years since I published my book THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS in which I tried to rubbish the claims that CO2 emissions were causing ‘Global Boiling’. Yet five years on, England, France, Italy, Spain and Greece seem to be experiencing ‘Global Boiling’. Ooops. Did I get it all wrong?
I haven’t fully understood the weather phenomenon which has caused unusually hot and dry weather across parts of England and Europe. But I’ll try to make three points:
Point 1 – The coldest winter in almost 40 years
I was in Thailand during part of the 2025/26 winter. At the time it was reported in the local press that Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar were experiencing “the coldest winter in almost 40 years”. This was an area of around 1,604,000 km2 with a population of about 151 million. Just as a quick comparison, the current Western and Southern Europe heatwave seems to be affecting around 1,712,000 km2 with a population of about 246 million.
Yet while the four Asian countries were experiencing their “coldest winter for almost 40 years”, I don’t remember the BBC’s Justin Lowrat and other mainstream media reporters of his ilk howling and screaming about the Earth moving into a new Ice Age. Yet we now have the opposite weather conditions affecting parts of Europe and suddenly we must all panic about the coming devastation of Global Boiling.
Point 2 – How exceptional is the current heatwave?
Here’s a possible explanation of the current hot weather from the excellent Paul Homewood on the ‘Not a lot of people know that’ website:
Niccolò Machiavelli, in THE PRINCE, instructs the ruler who would keep power that it is far safer to be feared than to be loved, and that a prince must be a great feigner and dissembler, since men are so credulous and so governed by the need of the moment, that one who practises to deceive will always find another willing to be deceived.
We sem to stumble from supposed crisis to supposed crisis. I can’t remembr them all. But we had AIDS when we were all frightened into ‘safe sex’, then the financial crisis when we were told we all had to be impoverished to supposedly ‘save the financial system’. Then there was Ebola which turned out to be a bit of a damp squib as it never really left Africa’s most corrupt, violent, backwards hell-holes. After Ebola came the US-funded, Chinese lab-leaked Covid. Our rulers knew from the case of the Diamond Princess cruise ship outbreak that the mortality rate for Covid was probably around 0.1% to 0.2% at most. Yet our rulers used hugely exaggerated figures to justify shutting down our economies, imprisoning us in our homes and coercing us to accept ‘safe and effective’ vaccines which were neither safe nor effective and which only should have been given to a tiny section of the population.
And. of course, behind all this we’ve had the supposed ‘climate crisis’ which has enabled our rulers to increasingly restrict our life choices and lives while they fly all over the world staying in the most luxurious hotels in the most luxurious places eating the most luxurious foods in the most luxurious restaurants all at our expense as they meet in their thousands every few years to discuss their ‘climate crisis’ and what new restrictions they can impose on us.
The best book describing how we are being fooled into submission to this latest fear-mongering is probably journalist Ross Clark’s 2020 novel: ‘THE DENIAL’
And now to end, a well-known quote from someone much smarter than myself:
Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. H.L. Mencken
