Hotter/colder/wetter/drier than average. Argghh, we’re all going to die!!

Weekend blog

I have taken the liberty of copying (below) the summary from the latest report on the Earth’s climate from the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) – The state of the climate in 2021

(If I have breached Copyright, I will happily delete the GWPF summary from this blog)

Here’s the full 54-page report:

https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2022/04/Humlum-State-of-Climate-2021-.pdf

Facts rather than hysteria

You don’t need to read the GWPF summary below. You shouldn’t find anything you didn’t know already. My reasons for writing this blog are different.

Firstly, I give the GWPF summary as an excellent example of the kind of objective, calm, fact-based analysis we should be getting from our politicians, ‘scientists’, media and truant schoolchildren. But you won’t ever find it. Instead we get hysteria-ridden, hugely-exaggerated claims of climate catastrophe and disaster which are little more than deliberate lies.

Much hotter/colder/wetter/drier than average. Time to panic?

But there’s a deeper problem with climate reporting. You might have noticed that this week was much hotter than average in parts of India, much wetter than average (worst floods in 60 years) in parts of South Africa, much colder than average (in fact there was a new record set) in Winnipeg in Canada, a bit stormy in the Philippines (or maybe it was Indonesia), very windy in Croatia and much drier than average somewhere else (I can’t remember where and can’t be bothered to find out).

Our rulers, the ‘scientists’ and the media use these large variations from the average to bludgeon us into submission to their ever more oppressive supposedly climate-saving restrictions on our lives – higher fuel prices, banning gas central heating, banning petrol cars, new taxes on motorists, new taxes on foreign holidays, fuel rationing, new speed limits etc etc etc.

But this reporting of record hot/cold/wet/dry/stormy spells completely misuses the concept of averages. The whole point of an average is that it is ‘an average’. I know this will come as a surprise to our mathematically- and arithmetically-challenged politicians, grant-hungry supposed ‘scientists’ and posturing, attention-seeking, careerist BBC and C4 News journalists, but you should not expect every hour of every day to be within spitting distance of the average every day of the year for that time of year.

I ain’t no mathematician. But let’s take an example. There are about 195 countries in the world (although Mr Putin is working hard to reduce that number). Let’s assume there are say 20 regions/cities in each of those countries where climate can be reported. That gives 3,900 locations. Then let’s take five main weather possibilities – hot, cold, wet, dry, stormy. That gives 19,500 opportunities for climate catastrophists to find some region/city that is close to a new climate record. But finding one or two or even three new climate records in one week from these potential 19,500 record-setting regions/cities doesn’t mean the Earth’s climate is heading for disaster. After all, if hyperventilating ‘journalists’ even manage to find say 4 records for that week, this still leaves 19,496 regions/cities that are nowhere near new climate records.

I could go on. But given that my readers are much more intelligent and much better-informed than the average person, you probably all got the point long ago – most reporting on climate is complete nonsense.

Though, I’ll just mention one other small but not insignificant point – if a heat-wave, storm, flood or whatever is “the worst for sixty years” or “the worst for decades” or “the worst for the last 100 years”, how come there were terrible heat-waves, storms, floods or whatever so long ago if CO2 is causing them now and yet CO2 levels were much lower decades ago?

No warming – no need to panic

The conclusion of the GWPF report is just what you would expect: – that there has been no significant warming of the air or seas, no significant decrease in ice cover, no significant rise in sea levels, no significant increase in storms ……. In fact, there are no indications at all that we are heading into a climate catastrophe caused by human activity and there is certainly no reason at all why we should impoverish ourselves trying to prevent something which is only happening in the minds of power-hungry politicians, supposed ‘scientists’ who have eagerly leapt onto the lucrative climate-change bandwagon, the progressive, holier-than-thou BBC and the rest of the useless mainstream media.

But then, anyone who has read my book THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS or anyone with an IQ even marginally above net zero would know that.

Anyway, for those who are interested, here’s the GWPF’s report’s admirably-researched summary:

General overview 2021
This report has its main focus on observations and not on the output of numerical models. 

Air temperatures
Air temperatures measured near the planet’s surface (surface air temperatures) are at the centre of many climate discussions, but the significance of any short-term warming or cooling should not be overstated. Whenever the Earth experiences warm El Niño or cold La Niña episodes, major heat exchanges take place between the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere above, eventually showing up as a signal in the global air temperature. However, such heat exchanges may chiefly reflect redistribution of energy between ocean and atmosphere, and not a change in the heat content of the atmosphere–ocean system. Evaluating the dynamics of ocean temperatures is therefore just as important as evaluating changes in surface air temperatures.

Considering surface air temperature records since the 19th century, 2021 was a warm year, but cooler than most years since 2016. A moderate La Niña episode played out during 2021, underlining the importance of ocean–atmosphere exchanges. Many Arctic regions experienced record high air temperatures in 2016, but since then, including in 2021, conditions have generally moved toward somewhat cooler conditions. The temperature peak in high northern latitudes in 2016 may have been affected by ocean heat released from the Pacific Ocean during the strong 2015–16 El Niño and subsequently transported towards the Arctic region. This underscores how air temperatures may be affected, not only by variations in local conditions, but also by variations playing out in geographically remote regions. Many figures in this report focus on the period since 1979 – the satellite era – when access to a wide range of observations with nearly global coverage, including temperature, became commonplace.

These data provide a detailed view into temperature changes over time at different altitudes in the atmosphere. Among other phenomena, these observations reveal that a Stratospheric temperature plateau has prevailed since 1995. Since 1979, lower Troposphere temperatures have increased over both land and oceans, but most clearly over the land. The most straightforward explanation for this is that much of the warming is caused by solar insolation, but there may be several secondary reasons, such as changes in cloud cover and land use.

Oceans
The Argo Program, which uses robotic floats to monitor ocean temperatures around the globe, and at different depths, has now achieved 18 years of global coverage, growing from a relatively sparse array of 1000 floats in 2004 to more than 3900 in December 2021. Since 2004, these floats have provided a unique ocean temperature dataset for depths down to 1900m. The data is currently updated to August 2020. Although the oceans are much deeper than 1900m, and the published Argo data series still is relatively short, interesting features are now emerging from these observations. For example, since 2004, the upper 1900m of the oceans have experienced a globally averaged net warming of about 0.07°C. The maximum net warming (about 0.2°C) affects the uppermost 100m, mainly near the Equator, where the greatest amount of solar radiation is received.

At greater depths, a small (about 0.025°C) net warming has occurred between 2004 and 2020, according to the Argo floats. Warming is seen across the Equatorial oceans, which, due to the spherical form of the planet, represent a huge surface area. Simultaneously, the northern oceans (55–65°N) have experienced a marked cooling at depths down to 1400m, and slight warming below that. The southern oceans (55–65°S) have warmed slightly at most depths since 2004, but mainly near the surface. However, as discussed later in this report, averages may be misleading, and better insight is often gained by looking at the details.

Sea level
Global sea level is monitored by satellite altimetry and by direct measurement using tide gauges. While the satellite record suggests a global sea-level rise of about 3.3mm per year or more, data from tide gauges all over the world suggest a stable rise of 1–2mm per year. The tide gauges indicate no recent acceleration (or deceleration) of sea-level rise. The marked difference (a ratio of about 1:2) between the two datasets has no universally accepted explanation, but it is known that the satellite observations face complications in areas near the coast (see, for example, Vignudelli et al. 2019). Whatever the truth, the tide-gauge data are more relevant for local coastal planning purposes.

Sea ice
In 2021, global sea-ice cover remained well below the average for the satellite era, but is now increasing. At the end of 2016, it reached a marked minimum, at least partly caused by the operation of two different natural variation patterns, affecting sea ice in the Northern and the Southern Hemisphere, respectively. These variations had simultaneous minima in 2016. The trend towards stable or higher ice extent at both poles probably began in 2018, and has since strengthened. The marked Antarctic 2016 sea-ice reduction was the result of unusual wind conditions.

Snow cover
Variations in global snow cover are mainly caused by changes in the Northern Hemisphere, where all the major land areas are located. Southern Hemisphere snow is mainly found in the Antarctic, and cover is therefore relatively stable. The Northern Hemisphere average snow cover has been stable since the onset of satellite observations, although local and regional interannual variations may be large. Since 1979, Northern Hemisphere snow cover in autumn has been slightly increasing, the mid-winter cover is basically stable, and the spring cover is
slightly decreasing. In 2021, the Northern Hemisphere seasonal snow cover was close to the 1972–2020 average.

Storms and hurricanes
The most recent data on global tropical storm and hurricane accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is well within the range observed since 1970. In fact, the ACE data is highly variable over time, with a significant 3.6-year variation, but without any clear trend towards higher or lower values. A longer series for the Atlantic Basin, however, indicates there may be an oscillation of about 60 years’ duration for tropical storm and hurricane ACE. The number of hurricanes making landfall in the continental United States remains within the range for the entire observation period since 1851.

Not laughing now, eh Fritz?

Fauci and the lab leak. Has the smoking gun finally been found?

Wednesday/Thursday blog

Today I want to direct you to an amazing story that has just appeared in the magazine Vanity Fair. I don’t know anything about Vanity Fair. I always assumed it was a glossy mag where rich people showed off how rich they were to impress their peers and to wind up envious social climbers.

I must have been wrong because Vanity Fair has published an investigation into the origins of the Chinese Wuhan plague.

It seems that in June 2021 an evolutionary biologist named Jesse Bloom was investigating the origin of Xi PingPong’s plague and sent a draft of an article he had written to the world’s most trusted doctor, Dr Anthony ‘Frankenstein’ Fauci.

Bloom apparently specialises in how viruses evolve. Bloom’s paper hadn’t been peer-reviewed. But as it contained possibly embarrassing revelations about the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) which had been run by Frankenstein Fauci for decades, he sent a copy to Frankenstein for his comments. The possibly embarrassing revelations concerned two issues:

  • genomic sequences, which might shed light on the origin of the WuFlu, had been deleted from the databases of both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and of Fauci’s NIH
  • the possibly risky nature of research projects Frankenstein Fauci’s NIH had been running at the Wuhan Institute of Virology passing US taxpayers’ money through Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance.

Fauci and his boss Collins quickly set up a zoom call with Bloom and a few others during which, as far as I understand, the NIH crowd furiously stomped all over Bloom and tried to get him to withdraw and delete his paper. Bloom was apparently so concerned about the zoom call that he wrote down what happened during the call and Vanity Fair seems to have got hold of Bloom’s notes.

All this reminds me of the joke:

Q: What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth?

A: About 6 months

Anyway, here’s the Vanity Fair article. It’s a real humdinger:

China loves Russia’s Ukraine war and the West’s supposed ‘sanctions’

Tuesday blog

Kicking ourselves in the testicles with both feet?

Have you ever tried jumping in the air while shouting “I support net zero” and “Down with Putin” while kicking yourself in the balls with both feet at the same time? I haven’t tried this. And I imagine it’s quite difficult to do. And possibly quite painful. But it seems the West is enthusiastically managing to accomplish this complex acrobatic feat of self-harm.

First, our great leaders launched their ludicrous and totally unnecessary war on fossil fuels as they were in thrall to the world’s greatest climatologist St Greta the Truant – the (IMHO) crazed Swedish Chucky lookalike:

This act of stupidity and economic self-harm limited investment in fossil fuel exploration and production pushing up fuel costs and impoverishing the poorer members of our society.

Then in a further act of total genius, Western leaders imposed supposed ‘crippling sanctions’ on Putin’s Russia. These ‘crippling sanctions’ have caused a further massive increase in fuel costs in the West which were already shooting up due to the net zero lunacy. And, as fuel costs drive all other costs, inflation is rocketing up to 10% officially (though I suspect its really nearer 20% to 25%) and will definitely go higher in spite of our great leaders telling us that the rise in inflation is only a temporary blip.

In the developed world, the massive rise in prices will cause hardship for many households and lead to widespread strikes as workers demand wage rises to match the rise in inflation. And then we get into a wage/price spiral – the higher prices go, the higher wage rises workers will demand leading to higher prices leading to higher wages:

In the Third World, the fuel and food price inflation will lead to hardship, starvation and probably the collapse of at least 10 governments due to civil unrest.

Despite supposed ‘tough’ Western sanctions on Russia, President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine has now lasted for more than a month and Putin is showing no signs of backing down. Meanwhile, it’s the West which is suffering most from its fixation with net zero and its supposed ‘crippling sanctions’ on Russia – hence my suggestion that we’re acrobatically kicking ourselves in the economic testicles with both feet at the same time.

The laughing Chinaman

Our Western leaders beat their chests Tarzan-like bellowing about how ‘tough’ their sanctions are, while they buy $35bn of Russian gas every month. Meanwhile, our Chinese friends must be choking on their chop suey at the utter stupidity and incompetence of the West’s leaders – first the idiotic self-harming net zero and then the utterly futile, self-harming sanctions on Russia.

China is, of course, the power helping Russia to withstand the effects of the West’s sanctions and continue the war in Ukraine.

Shortly before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Russia and China entered into contracts worth hundreds of billions of dollars. On February 4, Putin announced new Russian oil and gas deals with China worth an estimated $117.5bn. On February 18, six days before the invasion, Russia announced a $20bn deal to sell 100 million tons of coal to China. On the day of the invasion, China, lifting restrictions that had been in place previously due to concerns about plant diseases, agreed to buy Russian wheat.

All of these deals, by undermining Western sanctions on Russia, are lifelines to Putin and his war on Ukraine. “China could emerge as a major buyer for Russian wheat and sunflower oil as wide-ranging financial sanctions threaten Russia’s agriculture trade flows to its traditional markets in Europe,” S&P Global Commodity Insights wrote.

China, perhaps thinking about its coming invasion of Taiwan, has not condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has repeatedly stated that it is against sanctioning Russia. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng called Western sanctions “outrageous.” China has not even tried to conceal that it continues to do business with Russia. As Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin said in his press briefing, “China and Russia will continue to conduct normal trade cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.”

There is nothing new or surprising in China’s decision to supply the lifeline that enables Putin to stay afloat. After Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in March 2014 and was met with Western sanctions, Russia turned to China. In May 2014, Russia and China signed a gas supply deal worth $400bn, making China Russia’s second-largest gas market after Germany. A February 2015 report by the European Council on Foreign Relations stated:

“After the European Union and the United States imposed sanctions on Russia [in 2014], President Vladimir Putin made a dramatic turn to China and signed a series of deals, including a $400 billion deal to export gas to China last May. Moscow is now attempting to reorient its entire economy towards Asia as a way to mitigate the negative impact of Western sanctions. For China, meanwhile, the Ukrainian crisis provided a unique opportunity to increase its access to Russia’s natural resources, particularly gas, gain contracts for infrastructure projects and new markets for Chinese technology, and turn Russia into a junior partner in the relationship between the two countries.”

In addition to undermining sanctions through the commodities trade, China is possibly also helping Russia hide its money. According to Foreign Affairs:

“Russia may have stashed tens of billions of dollars in reserve assets in opaque offshore accounts, where it holds dollar-denominated securities beyond the reach of international sanctions and asset freezes…there are signs, too, that Russia may have moved some of its dollars with help from a foreign government… It is not yet clear which intermediaries Russia would have used to stash Treasuries offshore. One strong possibility, however, is China, with which Putin now appears allied.”

We are led by buffoons

Basically, the Chinese will buy anything the Russians want to sell – petrol, gas, minerals, food. And what the Chinese won’t buy from Russia, India and Crapistan will. And what the Chinese and Indians and Crapistanis don’t buy from Russia, desperate Third-World governments will be more than delighted to snap up.

I don’t know what the solution is. But I do know that our supposed ‘tough’ sanctions are just a game of smoke and mirrors being played on us by our useless rulers and which will hurt us much more than they hurt Putin’s Russia.

Dumb, stupid, inane, imbecilic, reckless – I’m struggling to find appropriate words to describe how the West’s leaders are enthusiastically committing economic suicide while handing control of the world over to the new rising Chinese empire and China’s Third-World cronies.

“It’s now or never” warned Elvis and the IPCC

Monday blog

As most of you will know, the ludicrous IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued its latest report last week warning that this really really really was our absolute last chance to stop a climate catastrophe:

Maybe Elvis actually is alive and has joined the IPCC?

I guess the IPCC and all the climate catastrophist mainstream media hope that most people have short memories and so have forgotten the umpteen times we heard exactly the same warnings from the climate catastrophist numpties from the 1920s to 1950s:

‘North Pole melting. Many glaciers vanished,’ Daily Mercury 7 April 1923

‘Will melting icebergs engulf the world?’ Sunday Journal and Star 13 April 1931

Hottest summer in 4,000 years,’ New York Times 2 July 1931

World heating up. Ice dissolving at Poles. Sea will rise 40 feet,’ Cairns Post 3 February 1934

‘Greenland’s glaciers melting, says scientist,’ Harrisburg Sunday Courier 17 December 1939

Ice in Arctic melting rapidly,’ Hartford Courant Magazine 13 October 1940

‘Glaciers icebergs melt as the world gets warmer,’ The Herald Saturday Magazine 29 September 1951

And then again for at least the last 30 years:

‘A senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000,’ Mercury News 30 June 1989

‘Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will spread across the world …. deaths from war and famine run into the millions, until the planet’s population is reduced by such an extent the Earth can cope,’ Observer 11 November 2004

‘Climate change study predicts refugees fleeing into Antarctica,’ Daily Telegraph 13 October 2008

‘Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of NASA scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen,’ Guardian 18 January 2009

‘The best scientific projections indicate that we have very little time left – indeed less than 100 months – in which to alter our behaviour drastically,’ The UK Prince of Wales 26 May 2009

‘Four years to save the Earth: 2020 is the deadline to avert climate catastrophe, experts claim,’ Daily Mail 29 June 2017

‘The planet is getting warmer in catastrophic ways. And fear may be the only thing that saves us,’ New York Times February 2019

‘Climate change is the number one issue facing humanity. And it’s the number one issue for me. Unchecked it’s actually going to bake this planet,’ President Joe Biden 21 March 2021

Oh, and here’s Elvis (before he joined the IPCC?):

Putin warned us – “not an inch eastwards”. NATO spat in his face. That was stupid!

Friday/weekend blog

First, let me make it clear – I am not condoning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. But Putin has made it very clear for at least the last 14 years that he saw Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO as an existential threat to Russia and warned, “not an inch eastwards”.

When a large, vicious, slavering, mad dog starts snarling at you as it defends what it regards as its territory, do you either?

a. tell it to ‘f*ck itself’ believing it will never attack?

b. move carefully away to avoid a confrontation?

The West arrogantly ignored Putin’s warnings and told the mad dog to ‘go f*ck itself’. That was dumb.

Here are two short videos. The first is from a NATO conference in April 2008 where Putin was invited to address NATO leaders and where he warned (1 minute to 1 minute 10 seconds of this 2-minute video) that inviting Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, and thus parking NATO troops and missiles directly on Russia’s borders, would be seen as an existential threat to Russia’s security:

For years, Putin has repeated his warnings that he would not allow Ukraine and Georgia, which both have long borders with Russia, to join NATO. In December 2021, Putin yet again warned the West that allowing Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO would be unacceptable – the first minute of this 3-minute video. In this video Putin (sensibly in my opinion) asks whether the US would allow Russian troops and missiles to be positioned along its borders with Canada or Mexico and reiterates his “not an inch eastwards” threat:

Yet in January 2022, the US presented its written response to Russian demands on Ukraine not joining NATO and on NATO troops being withdrawn from Romania and Bulgaria, but made clear that it did not change Washington’s support for Ukraine’s right to pursue NATO membership, the most contentious issue in relations with Moscow.

The reply, which was delivered to the Russian Foreign Ministry by the US ambassador in Moscow, John Sullivan, repeated the US offer to negotiate with Russia over some aspects of European security, but the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said the issue of eventual Ukrainian membership of the alliance was one of principle.

Blinken was speaking hours after his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, threatened “retaliatory measures” if the US response did not satisfy the Kremlin.

“Without going to the specifics of the document, I can tell you that it reiterates what we said publicly for many weeks, and in a sense for many, many years. That we will uphold the principle of NATO’s open door,” Blinken said, adding: “There is no change. There will be no change.”

The West thought Putin was bluffing. But Putin wasn’t bluffing. Putin doesn’t do bluffing. After all, he has had three successful mini-wars in the last few years – the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia in which Russia routed the Georgian military; the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea without a shot being fired and the Russian invasion (sorry, I meant “peace-keeping force”) during the Armenia and Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

It would seem that Putin believed the Ukraine invasion would be just another of Russia’s quick mini-wars – charge into Ukraine with 169,000 troops, take the main cities, depose the West-friendly government and install a Russian glove-puppet regime. But Putin got that one horribly wrong and so now we have a real mess on our hands.

I guess all I’m trying to say is that NATO – due to its arrogance, short-sightedness and catastrophic misjudgement of Putin’s character – bears just as much responsibility for the Ukraine mess as Putin’s nationalist aggression and misjudgement of Russia’s military power compared to Ukraine’s.

Though, apart from one article by Peter Hitchens in the Daily Mail, I haven’t seen such a balanced view expressed anywhere else in the Western mainstream media.

The sad sad snubbing of Joe ‘No Mates’ Biden

Thursday blog

I started writing this blog yesterday when I thought that no UK mainstream media would cover this story. However, during the course of yesterday, it was mentioned first in the online version of Daily Express and then later in the Daily Telegraph. I think GB News also briefly mentioned it yesterday evening.

But neither paper nor GB News really showed the full story, so I’ll do it here.

The 11-minute video below features Tucker Carlson claiming that the US Democrats are planning to dump Joe Biden. The whole video is worth watching as it is (IMHO) one of Tucker Carlson’s best. But there are two key parts of the video featuring two scenes from a reception Biden has just held at the White House for various Democrat bigwigs, hangers-on, sycophants and gravy-train riders.

The first scene – from 3 minutes 12 seconds to 3 minutes 25 seconds shows a doddery, clearly senile Biden wandering around his own reception as if he doesn’t know where he is, who these people are and why he’s there at all. This is pretty sad to see.

It reminds me of how my mother, who had dementia, would also get confused and lost when in a situation where there were more than two or three people. My mother is now with the angels. Though, given the fact that my increasingly irascible and irrational dementia-affected mother spent the last five years of her life shouting at neighbours, waiters in restaurants, children playing outside her flat, her doctors, her doctors’ receptionists, her dentist, her dentist’s receptionists, her pharmacist, bus drivers, shop assistants, her carer (my wife) and anyone else who came within shouting range, I’m not sure how pleased the other angels will be to have my dear mother for the rest of eternity.

Anyway, enough of my charming mother and back to Biden.

The second scene from 3 minutes 31 seconds to 4 minutes 32 seconds is truly pitiful. In it Biden approaches a group of invitees including Vice President Kamala Harris surrounding former president Obama. At first Biden hangs around expecting the group to bring him in to join them. After all, he is the US’s top politician and the leader of the free world. But they just ignore him. Then Biden puts his hand on Obama’s shoulder to make him aware that Biden wants to come into the group. Shockingly, they continue to ignore him. This is elder abuse.

I don’t know much about US politics. But I suspect the Democrats will have to stick with Biden till after the November 2022 mid-term elections because the only alternatives they have – the (IMHO) loathed and loathsome Kamala Harris and the (IMHO) even more appallingly repulsive Nancy Pelosi – are even worse than Dementia Joe. But, if the Democrats get slaughtered in the mid-terms, which seems likely, the firing squad will be assembled and ex-president Biden will have to go back to hiding in his basement or get carted straight off to the old folks home.

Here’s Tucker Carlson:

The real people smugglers are our own ruling elites

Tuesday/Wednesday blog

If you haven’t had time to read my Monday blog, I recommend it. It’s quite short and exposes how our beloved NHS is squandering the extra billions we’re showering on it.

I’ll give you a clue – Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Managers

Priti’s people smugglers

We have heard much over the last two years from the (IMHO) totally pointless waste of skin, Home Secretary Priti ‘Useless’ Patel, about how she’s supposedly ‘tackling the evil people smugglers’.

At the same time, our rulers have repeatedly preached to us that we have an obligation to look after supposed ‘child refugees’. Here are some of those ‘child refugees’:

In the meantime, Border Farce and once-respected RNLI send their vessels out every day to ferry hundreds of uneducated, unemployable, West-hating, religiously-backward, rape-obsessed young men from French beaches to bring them in comfort and safety to their 4-star hotels in the UK. All the time, our Government claims that these young men (there are rarely any women and children) are genuine refugees.

A hotel I often walk past has been commandeered by our rulers to house some of these illegal migrants. But before it could be used, we UK taxpayers spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the hotel’s complete refurbishment. Clearly a hotel, which was once used by UK holidaymakers, was not considered to be of a sufficiently high standard for the Third-world garbage being brought into the UK by Patel’s Border Farce and the RNLI.

And now, the Home Office refuses to release any information on how many hundreds of Third-worlders it is smuggling into our country every day.

Don’t be surprised when (IMHO) people-smuggler Priti’s backward, uneducated, unemployable invitees start leaving their mark on British society:

An Irish farce?

First our rulers lied to us about who they were really bringing into our country. Then they covered up how many illegals they were bringing into our country. And now it seems that Ireland’s ruling elites are playing the same game.

The Irish Government has already taken in over 9,000 supposed ‘Ukrainian refugees’ and has suggested it might even go as high as 200,000.

As the Irish population is only about 5 million, this would be equivalent to the UK taking in 2,600,000 Ukrainian refugees.

But who are the ‘Ukrainian refugees’ arriving in welcoming Ireland?

As you’ll know, all Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60 are not permitted to leave Ukraine as they are needed for the armed forces to fight against Mad Vlad Putin’s 169,000 heavily-armed invading murderers, torturers and rapists. Some Ukrainian men have claimed to be transgender in order to flee. Apparently Ukrainian border guards checked and the trannies were sent back to defend their country.

So, only Ukrainian women, children and men over 60 are permitted to flee the country.

Here’s a short video of a citizen journalist trying to interview some very suntanned Ukrainian men who are apparently all aged well over 60 and who are celebrating arriving safely in Southern Ireland from their home country – war-ravaged Ukraine.

No doubt they’ll all be welcomed by the Irish authorities and be given homes and money and be allowed to steal and rape at will while the Irish police (just like the British police in most of our towns) look the other way as they won’t want to be accused of racism or upsetting community relations.

You won’t see any mainstream media covering this story:

Is this why the NHS needs lots more of our money?

Monday blog

I don’t believe you

First, just a quick observation. It was reported this weekend that 4.9 million people in Britain have Covid. Obviously they didn’t test everybody, so this figure must be based on some kind of ONS (Office for National Statistics) sampling. So, if say there are 300 people living in your road, about 22 of them are supposedly currently infected with Covid.

Sorry, I just do not believe this.

The expensive NHS inclusion industry

Now here’s the main subject of today’s blog. It was too cold to go for a walk on Sunday afternoon. So, as one does, I decided to look on the NHS website for job vacancies which included the word “Inclusion”.

Here are just a few of the jobs which came up. I’m not even going to comment on this, it’s such a disgrace when there are over five million people on NHS waiting lists. But at least this gives us an indication where much of the extra billions raised by the increase in National Insurance to ‘save the NHS’ will be spent.

A checklist to identify your level of “Artificial Stupidity”

Friday/weekend blog

As readers will be aware, we in the West are moving into an era of thought-totalitarianism in which there is only one accepted viewpoint on every issue facing us.

Here are just twenty three of the most widespread beliefs we must agree with if we are to be an accepted member of society. Should you disagree with any of these, and even worse if you dare express doubts about any of these, you risk cancellation, social banishment, career destruction and financial ruin.

This list is not meant to be exhaustive. I’m sure readers will think of other incredibly stupid ideas being forced on us by the progressive, virtue-signalling, holier-than-thou, libtard, globalist elites:

  1. White people are responsible for all the world’s problems
  2. All white people are racists – either overtly or else subconsciously
  3. All the greatest scientific, medical and cultural achievements have come from Africa
  4. There is no difference between races either in intelligence or physical attributes
  5. All cultures are equal (we must never mention the oppression of women, homosexuals and lesbians by our friends from the Religion of Wonderfulness)
  6. The concept of there being just two sexes – male and female – is an outmoded relic of oppressive patriarchal societies
  7. There are at least 72 genders. Any person can self-identify with whatever gender they wish at any time they wish
  8. Women can have penises, men can have vaginas. Men can become pregnant, women can impregnate other women or even men
  9. Allowing men with penises into women’s toilets, changing rooms and prisons constitutes no danger at all to women
  10. Africa would be a scientifically-advanced, economically-successful earthly paradise if it hadn’t been for evil white colonialists
  11. Only white people were responsible for slavery – at no time have Africans or Arabs ever had slaves or sold slaves
  12. Things like correct spelling, mathematics and sheet music are culturally-oppressive hangovers from white supremacism
  13. The Covid ‘miracle vaccines’ are incredibly effective and totally safe. Anyone refusing vaccination is a right-wing, anti-vaxxer murderer putting other people in danger due to their own ignorance and selfishness
  14. Human activity is causing catastrophic global warming and only by obeying the truant child prodigy – Saint Greta of Sweden – can we save the human race from self-destruction
  15. Hot weather is a result of catastrophic Global Warming, cold or wet weather is a result of catastrophic Climate Change
  16. Anyone concerned about preserving the world’s wildlife must never mention the explosive population growth in Africa as it is quite clear that a doubling of the population of Africa every 22 years has no effect at all on Africa’s wildlife
  17. Likewise, it is quite clear that the poverty, misery, lack of clean water, starvation of hundreds of millions in Africa is a result of white colonialism and has nothing at all to do with the doubling of the population of Africa every 22 years
  18. Similarly, it is quite clear that the poverty, misery, lack of clean water, starvation of hundreds of millions in Africa, while African rulers become billionaires looting their countries, has nothing at all to do with African corruption but is somehow caused by evil white colonialism
  19. Nobody needs to take responsibility for their actions any more as everything is the fault of ‘the Government’ and everybody should be compensated by the Government any time they do something stupid
  20. The concepts of countries and borders are outmoded. We are all part of the same family of mankind and everyone should be allowed to go and live in whichever country they choose
  21. Democracy is dangerous as it can lead to abhorrent results like “populism” – the election of leaders who are popular with their electorates. It would be better if we were all ruled by a global bureaucratic class which knows what is best for us
  22. The BBC in the UK and CNN and MSNBC in the US provide balanced, objective reporting and are national treasures. News channels like GB News in the UK and Fox News in the US are dangerous right-wing, Trump-supporting , neo-fascist propagandists
  23. There is only one side to every issue. Thus there is no need for discussion. Anyone disagreeing with the politically-correct version of every issue is either stupid or evil and/or a fascist

Here’s Thomas Sowell explaining how young people today are being taught what to think rather than how to think – how young people are being taught what Sowell calls “Artificial Stupidity”:
