Great bleating and moaning from the holier-than-thou elites
Oh dear. As Afcrapistan falls under Taliban control, there is much wailing and bleating and moaning from our moral superiors. After all, as the Western NGOs and do-gooders scarper, who will be left to teach the poor Afghans about climate change and gender fluidity and the importance of using the correct pronouns and other such garbage over which our elites and the mainstream media obsess 24 hours a day?
Meanwhile all our TV news and newspapers are full of courageous armchair warriors lecturing us on how we’ve failed the Afghans and how our military should have stayed in Afcrapistan for another 10 million years or whatever.
While our opinion leaders howl and wail about what a disaster the Taliban victory will be for Afcrapistan, I don’t quite see it that way.
Has peace finally come to Afcrapistan?
Russia invaded Afcrapistan on 24 December 1979. Then the Americans and their allies invaded in 2001. For more than 32 years there has been constant war in that godforsaken excuse for a country. But now, with the Taliban victory, it’s possible and even likely that peace will finally come to the place.
OK, women’s rights will be set back a couple of thousand years. There will be a few beheadings and stonings. And gender-fluid men might find themselves being thrown off high buildings:
But order will be restored and there will be admirably little crime as thieves will have their hands cut off if caught. Of course, our media will be full of unverifiable horror stories about 12-year-old girls being taken from their homes to be raped by Taliban fighters. But visit any major UK city now and there will be rape gangs from our favourite vibrant, multi-cultural enriching communities subjecting vulnerable white girls to being raped and beaten by 20 to 30 men at a time:
Meanwhile our brave police scour the Internet for any white people committing ‘thought crimes’. So, not much difference between the UK and Afcrapistan on that point.
Here come the Chinese
Moreover, now the Taliban have full control of the country, Chinese mining companies will be pouring in to exploit Afghanistan’s vast mineral wealth. These companies will build roads, rail links and even airports to bring in their workers and take out their spoils.
Afghanistan will see more economic development in the next few years, thanks to the Chinese, than it has for the last thousand years or more.
What about our great military leaders?
But there is one unpleasant question arising as the Taliban celebrate victory – did the 450+ UK soldiers who died in Afghanistan and the thousands who were maimed suffer for nothing?
That’s a question that should be put to Britain’s great military leaders. For the last 20 years they have known:
all Afghan politicians were utterly corrupt
most of the money sent to Afghanistan was looted by the politicians and military commanders
a large part of the supposed 350,000-strong Afghan army didn’t exist. They only existed on paper so corrupt local commanders could pocket their wages (which we paid)
many soldiers hadn’t been paid for months as their wages had been looted by top Afghan military commanders
most influential Afghans had used their looted millions to buy luxury bolt-holes in places like Oman and Dubai to be ready when it was time to get the h*ll out of the country
the whole place was a house of cards ready to collapse at the slightest threat from the Taliban
(as one reader wrote yesterday) you cannot impose a false veneer of democracy on a medieval narco-state in which religious, tribal and clan loyalties vastly outweigh the naive enthusiasms of Western NGOs.
Yet, in spite of knowing all this, our generals seem to have kept quiet. Perhaps they were worried that causing a stir with their political leaders might have endangered their chances of lots of lucrative consultancy jobs, knighthoods and a comfortable seat in the Lords on retirement? So, as has happened throughout history, the (IMHO) cynical, incompetent, self-serving donkeys leading our troops sent their lions out to fight and die while enthusiastically feathering their own nests and preparing for their own financially-comfortable futures.
Why we need channels like Fox News
Here’s the inimitable Tucker Carlson explaining the Afcrapistan disaster much more eloquently than I ever could:
Here’s a typical UK tower block. In this case it’s the infamous Grenfell Tower:
Wikipedia tells us that the building’s top 20 storeys consisted of 120 flats, with six per floor – two flats with one bedroom each and four flats with two bedrooms each – with a total of 200 bedrooms. Its first four storeys were non-residential until its most recent refurbishment, from 2015 to 2016, when two of them were converted to residential use, bringing it up to 127 flats and 227 bedrooms; six of the new flats had four bedrooms each and one flat had three bedrooms.
In total Grenfell Tower was supposed to house about 600 people. But the more cynical amongst us may suspect that many of those who were given cheap or even free council accommodation there chose to live somewhere nicer and then illegally sublet their properties to large families of multi-cultural enrichers who turned the building into a Third-world slum fire hazard by having their electrical appliances connected with faulty DIY wiring:
and dumping all their crap and old mattresses and prams and cycles and whatever in the corridors and stairwells blocking fire doors and fire escapes:
But, of course, we’re not allowed to mention such suspicions as that would be racist.
I don’t know what has happened in the multi-million pound Grenfell inquiry. But one thing we can be certain of is that us ghastly white Brits will be blamed for everything and nobody will ever mention that the probable reason the fire started was that the occupants had turned the building into an overcrowded, garbage-strewn, filthy, dangerous, Third-world slum.
Priti’s Border Farce ferry service busier than ever
On just one day last week Priti ‘Useless’ Patel’s free ferry service brought an astonishing record of 592 illegal invaders from French beaches to the UK. So far this year, Priti ‘Totally Useless’ Patel’s Border Farce ferry service has carried 11,314 multicultural invaders to the UK. For the whole of 2021 we can expect at least 20,000 pieces of Third-world garbage to be brought to the UK by the (IMHO) worthless waste of skin Patel.
We’re going to need more tower blocks
Assuming a tower block like Grenfell Tower can accommodate 600 diverse, vibrant, multi-cultural enrichers, to house the 20,000+ Patel’s People being brought to the UK by Patel’s Border Farce ferry service this year, we’re going to need to build around 33 Grenfell-sized tower blocks this year. That’s one new Grenfell-sized tower block every eleven days.
Let’s hope the diverse, vibrant, enriching new arrivals don’t turn their new homes into Third-world slums and set fire to those just like I suspect they did at Grenfell Tower.
“Taliban unlikely to conquer Afghanistan” says Biden
To cheer us all up on yet another dismal, globally-warmed Monday morning, here’s America’s Comic-in-Chief, Joe Biden assuring us that a rapid and imminent Taliban takeover in Afcrapistan is unlikely:
China conquers Afghanistan – without firing a shot
When the U.S. announced its full withdrawal from Afghanistan, the supposed ‘experts’ warned us that there was a risk the Taliban could reconquer the country in ‘as little as 90 days’. Being a cynic, I guessed that it would only take the Taliban crazies nine days, not ninety days, to over-run the place. Seems I was right and the ‘experts’ wrong.
The West wasted over $1 trillion and 20 years and thousands of lives supposedly building a better Afghanistan. All that has been achieved is that utterly corrupt Afghan politicians, military bosses and top bureaucrats have got phenomenally rich looting much of the money our useless rulers have squandered on the poverty-stricken, worthless Afghan hell-hole. Meanwhile the Chinese have been negotiating with the winners of the West’s Afghanistan fiasco – the Taliban.
In the next few days, the Afghan elites will scarper to their luxury homes in Dubai and the Afghan army will surrender en masse as they won’t want to die to protect their venal, kleptocrat fleeing former rulers
Afghanistan is phenomenally rich in minerals – copper, cobalt, iron, barite, sulfur, lead, silver, zinc, niobium, and 1.4 million metric tons of rare-earth elements (REEs). U.S. agencies estimate Afghanistans mineral deposits to be worth upwards of $1 trillion. In fact, a classified Pentagon memo called Afghanistan the Saudi Arabia of lithium.
I have previously used this chart to show how the Chinese have cornered the market in REEs:
This chart only goes up to the year 2000. Chinese dominance is even greater now. The Chinese now produce 97 percent of the worlds REEs. Once the Chinese move into Afghanistan with the help of their Taliban chums, the Chinese share of REEs will go even higher.
This gives China massive power over the rest of the world and the lying, disease-spreading Chinese have already begun to manipulate the global REE market by dramatically slowing, and in some cases halting, export of these materials. After a maritime dispute with Japan, China stopped supplying REEs to Japanese customers, reduced overall global exports by 72 percent in the second half of 2010, cut export quotas for the first half of 2011 by 35 percent, and slashed REE mining permits by 41 percent in 2012, claiming its actions were a function of efforts to fight pollution.
Without the Chinese Communist Party allowing the export of REEs, it’s going to be more than slightly difficult for our crazed climate catastrophist rulers to impose their expensive, range-limited electric cars, their worthless heat pumps, their bird-killing wind turbines and their ludicrous solar farms on us.
I wonder if our rulers have thought about that?
Go green, destroy the planet?
Here’s a comment made by a reader yesterday:
Solar panel installations are surging in the U.S. and Europe as Western countries seek to cut their reliance on fossil fuels. But the West faces a conundrum as it installs panels on small rooftops and in sprawling desert arrays: Most of them are produced with energy from carbon-dioxide-belching, coal-burning plants in China.
Concerns are mounting in the U.S. and Europe that the solar industry’s reliance on Chinese coal will create a big increase in emissions in the coming years as manufacturers rapidly scale up production of solar panels to meet demand. That would make the solar industry one of the world’s most prolific polluters, analysts say, undermining some of the emissions reductions achieved from widespread adoption.
For years, China’s low-cost, coal-fired electricity has given the country’s solar-panel manufacturers a competitive advantage, allowing them to dominate global markets. Chinese factories supply more than three-quarters of the world’s polysilicon, an essential component in most solar panels, according to industry analyst Johannes Bernreuter. Polysilicon factories refine silicon metal using a process that consumes large amounts of electricity, making access to cheap power a cost advantage. Chinese authorities have built an array of coal-burning power plants in sparsely populated areas such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia to support polysilicon manufacturers and other energy-hungry industries.
Then I read this last Tuesday:
China Restarts Coal Mines To Keep Up With Power Demand
“Operations at 53 shuttered coal mines in China will once again come to life, as China struggles to keep up with increased power demand, according to a statement by the National Development Reform Commission in China. Last week, China announced it would restart 38 coal mines in Inner Mongolia. Now, China has announced it will resume operations at 15 more coal mines, in the regions of Shanxi and Xinjiang. The mines will operate for a year and will produce as much as 44 million tons of coal, which China hopes will satisfy the growing calls for power amid an intense heatwave and tick up in industrial activity.”
So China’s increasing coal consumption is enabling us to flaunt our lunatic commitment to zero emissions?
Greenie stupidity is destroying America
Under Trump, the U.S. became energy-independent. This lowered energy prices for American companies and consumers and meant the U.S. was no longer at the mercy of the lunatics in the Middle East.
But senile Joe Biden and cackling Kamala Harris have managed to reverse this wonderful situation in just a few months. By blocking a huge pipeline from Canada and by cutting fracking, the U.S. is once again dependent on the goodwill of our friends from the desert and Biden was this week begging OPEC to increase oil and gas production as prices in the U.S. were shooting up to record levels:
So, around 45% of all A Level candidates got A or A* this year. For private schools, I believe this figure was about 75%. Extraordinary how brilliant our young people have suddenly become.
I think we all understand that the last couple of years have been difficult for A Level students. But it’s also not fair to raise their expectations unrealistically high by inflating their exam grades.
If we look at the results of the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) – a worldwide study by the OECD of over 500,000 pupils conducted every three years – we can see that the education systems in key Western countries are failing to provide a proper education:
Over the last eighteen years, for example, the UK has dropped from 5th to 14th in Science and from 9th to 17th in Maths compared to other countries.
As the TV news shows us clips of young, always multi-cultural totty jumping and squealing with joy as they get exam results demonstrating their own academic brilliance, I’m minded of something the wonderful Alan Jones from Sky News Australia once said, ‘you are “selfish, badly educated, ill-informed, virtue signalling little t**ds inspired by adults around you (and a Swedish teenager) who crave attention for some noble cause while you indulge in Western luxury and an unprecedented quality of life. Wake up, grow up and shut up!”.
Boris’s big climate bash
Sorry, but it’s climate catastrophe nonsense again today.
The BBC and C4 News hate Boris Johnson for almost giving us Brexit. But over the next three months you’ll be seeing a big love-in between the main news channels and Johnson. In the first week of November, Boris will be hosting a massive 20,000-delegate climate conference to supposedly ‘save the planet’. Between now and then we’ll be bombarded by gushing media reports about how “Britain is leading the world” on “tackling climate change“.
In fact, behind all the hype there will be three main groups of countries at Boris’s big climate jamboree:
1. The industrialised countries of the West – the EU27, the UK, Biden’s USA, Australia and New Zealand – which seem to have taken the whole thing seriously. As they increasingly use unreliable and intermittent supposedly ‘green’ solar and wind energy, prices for energy in these countries are shooting up and will soon be 5 to 10 times as high as prices in industrialising countries with their cheap and reliable coal and gas-fired power stations. Some of these countries have even enshrined their CO2 reduction targets into law. So, if any of the governments of these countries allow any new oil field or new power station, they can be sued by environmental activists for breaking their own laws. Duh!
2. Another group attending Boris’s climate gab-fest are the larger industrialising countries – China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam etc. They are probably looking on with a mixture of amusement, amazement and delight as the rich West, through some perverted sense of guilt for its own success, gaily commits economic suicide. These countries have no intention of ever reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. On the contrary, countries like China, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines and Pakistan are busy building a lot more coal-fired power stations to provide their citizens and companies with cheap, reliable electricity. And most are probably looking forward to even more industries and jobs moving away from the energy-expensive industrialised countries to their part of the world. As for the millions of useless heat pumps we’ll be forced to install in the UK – they’ll all be made in China and Vietnam creating thousands of ‘green jobs’ in China and Vietnam.
3. Then there are the often impoverished Third-World countries, many of whose leaders are already billionaires thanks largely to generous foreign aid handouts from the rich West that they have looted to buy fleets of Mercedes, build palaces and stuff into already bulging offshore bank accounts. These countries are pantingly eager to get their hands on as much as possible of a proposed $100 billion-a-year fund, intended to run from 2020 to 2025, to supposedly help these countries adapt to and mitigate the disasters – rising sea levels, hotter temperatures, more storms and droughts etc etc – that the climate catastrophists predicted anthropogenic climate change would inevitably inflict on them. At UN-sponsored climate talks in Madrid in December 2020, the Maldives and other vulnerable countries pushed for concrete progress on fresh funding to help them deal with disasters and longer-term damage linked to climate change. That’s the same Maldives which has just built a third runway at its main airport to accommodate larger aircraft and which, in 2022, should be opening a new passenger terminal to increase capacity from one million to 7.3 million passengers a year.
I could go on. But hopefully you get the picture.
How to terrify your people into obedience
And finally, here’s a shortish (3 minutes) video a reader sent me explaining how our rulers are using fear to bludgeon us into obedience to their ever more totalitarian attempts to control us:
Prepare for the climate Armageddon propaganda blitzkrieg
This week is going to be a big big week for the crazed climate catastrophists and their doomsday cult. Today, the climate catastrophist IPCC (Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change) will issue its latest death and disaster report. The IPCC will, as usual, predict more floods, more wildfires, more deadly storms, more record hot spells, more melting polar ice caps, more ………… And on our TVs we’ll see seemingly endless streams of supposed ‘experts’ ranting that the “evidence of climate change is all around us”and “this is our last chance to save the planet” and “we have to act now”.
Basically, just more hyperbolic versions of the same garbage we’ve been force fed for the last 30 to 40 years.
The UK-hating, freedom-loathing, pleb-despising BBC and C4 News have already moved their cameras from Britain’s hospital ICU wards to the forests of Greece and Turkey for their next round of hysterical ‘we’re all going to die because of global warming’ reporting. And we’ll be harangued that we plebs must travel less, eat less meat, take fewer holidays, drive fewer miles, own fewer cars, stop heating our homes and so on and so forth in order to stop the total destruction of the Earth. Meanwhile, our rulers swan around the world in their private jets occasionally stopping off to lecture us about the need for us to limit our lifestyles.
The news the BBC and C4 News won’t be reporting
So, here are a few bits of news the BBC and C4 News and Sky News (UK) and the Times and the Telegraph and the Guardian and the rest of the mainstream media won’t be reporting.
1. Austria has just had its first snowfall of the winter – in the middle of summer – in at least 21 ski resorts
2. Brazil has experienced rare heavy snowfall since Thursday, threatening crops and bewildering locals who don’t usually see snow. More than 40 cities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul had icy conditions and at least 33 municipalities had snow, reported the meteorology company Somar Meteorologia.
3. Brazil – coffee prices will probably rise around the world as much of Brazil’s coffee crop has been damaged by the cold in the worst winter Brazil has experienced since the late 1950s
4. France – the French wine harvest will be at least 30% below average this year due to the record cold and wet weather:
5. USA – We have heard a lot about the record high temperatures and wildfires in the western part of the USA due to the ‘heat dome’. But I don’t remember the BBC and C4 News ever mentioning that on the East Coast of the USA, April and May were the coldest for over 100 years.
6. USA – Readers will know that former president and climate-change-bedwetter Barack Obama is currently holding a huge, face-mask-free birthday party reportedly for hundreds of his celeb friends at his luxury $11m+ beachfront estate on the wealthy Martha’s Vineyard. Let’s hope melting ice caps and sea-level rise don’t spoil his party.
7. Africa – record cold weather in Sub-Saharan Africa has damaged many crops and impoverished many farmers
8. Greenland – The amount of ice on Greenland (the blue line on the chart below) is well above average:
Not much global warming in any of the above examples.
Heads we win, tails you lose
In Britain we saw the climate catastrophists playing their usual game of ‘heads we win, tails you lose’. When we had a few hot days a couple of weeks ago, the climate catastrophists were all bleating and moaning that this was definite proof of man-made climate change and that we’d definitely have ever more scorching summers in the future. And we were assured that having a staycation on Britain’s sun-kissed beaches would be just as wonderful as going to Spain or Portugal or anywhere else on the Med. Since those few warm days, we’ve had nothing but miserable wind and rain. But, of course, that’s just weather, not climate.
According to the climate catastrophists ‘heads we win, tails you lose’ game, when it’s hot or there are floods, that’s climate change. When it’s damp, cold and miserable, that’s just weather which has nothing to do with climate.
Sky News Australia – save us from this madness
And here’s Sky News Australia daring to question the hyperventilating garbage being spewed out by the West-hating, lying climate catastrophists at the BBC and C4 News and Sky News (UK):
If you tried ringing the police to report that your house was burgled or your car stolen, it’s unlikely they’ll bother to send someone round to investigate. The police will probably claim they’re far too busy investigating other crimes. So, here are three recent examples of the types of crime which apparently keep our plods so incredibly busy:
The great banana attack
A Wetherspoon customer who sent a banana to a black man in the same pub has been convicted of a racist hate crime and ordered to pay over £1,200 in fines and court costs. Louie Kincella, 20, from Mottingham, claimed he sent the banana to Mark D’arcy-Smith, 25, as a “joke” while they were in The Richmal Crompton pub, Bromley, last November.
Mr D’arcy-Smith previously told the BBC that the incident left him feeling “upset, shocked and scared” and reported it to the Metropolitan Police. He also added that staff at the pub did not treat the incident seriously enough.
Detective Inspector Stuart Hart, head of the Safeguarding Team, said the case “required a painstakinginvestigation”.He added in a statement: “Hate crimes are a priority for the Met and we take all allegations very seriously.”
Really? Did someone sending a banana to someone else in a pub really require “a painstaking investigation”?
As for supposed ‘hate crimes’ being a “priority for the Met”, perhaps the useless Cressida ‘Dickless’ Dick’s coppers weren’t aware that 3,183 people (more than 25 a day!!!!) were stabbed on their patch just in the first four months of this year when many people were meant to be in lockdown?
A vast international investigation?
Police have arrested 11 people as they continue a hate crimes investigation into social media messages sent after the Euro 2020 final. The UK Football Policing Unit received 600 reports of racist comments sent to England’s black players after the defeat and judged 207 to be criminal.
Of these, 123 were posted by people overseas, while 34 came from the UK. Police said people who think they can hide behind social media accounts “need to think again”.
A wave of racist social media abuse was aimed at Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka after they missed penalties in the shoot-out at the Euro 2020 final last month. It led to condemnations by the Football Association, England manager Gareth Southgate and the prime minister.
Chief Constable Mark Roberts, National Police Chiefs’ Council Football Policing lead, said the investigation was proceeding“at pace” and said a “vast amount of work” went into identifying the 11 people arrested so far.
A terrifying “hate crime”?
A transgender priest has reported an evangelical Christian to police for hate speech over comments he made in a video responding to the Church of England’s Living in Love and Faith process.
Rev Alex Clare-Young, who transitioned from female to male and is married to a woman, Jo, are ministers in the United Reformed Church.
The promo video for Living in Love and Faith (LLF) opens with Clare-Young accompanied by Jo speaking about being a transgender priest. “I do expect people to respect me but I don’t expect people to know what to do with me. Some people might never have met a trans person before,” Clare-Young says.
Ben John of the Wilberforce Academy challenged the Church of England’s decision to open the LLF video with a trans priest, and called transgenderism a “false ideology”. “In reality if transgenderism is a false ideology, which it is, then what we’re actually seeing here is a lesbian couple,” he said. “This man isn’t really a man. She’s a woman. So whilst the Church of England might say yes we haven’t changed the doctrine of marriage, they have changed the practice. Not only that, they were both clergy. These weren’t lay people. These were leaders in the church. Should we be ordaining transgender people? Is this the message we want to be sending?”
A police spokesman confirmed that “the complaint is being investigated as a hate crime”.
So now you know?
So, now you know why our wonderful police are always so busy that they can’t do anything when you’re a victim of what some more old-fashioned, non-woke readers might consider to be a real crime.
It seems that all our mainstream media has now swallowed the climate catastrophist nonsense hook, line and sinker. The formerly serious Times and Sunday Times churn out article after article about the need to supposedly ‘fight’ supposed ‘climate change’. And now even the once sensibly conservative Daily Telegraph has succumbed to the climate change doomsday cult.
I have tried, in my own pathetically-limited way, to push back against this crazed modern-day mass delusion by writing my recent book – THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS. And I sent copies of my book to quite a few journalists who (I thought) would have the intelligence and courage to confront the climate catastrophe madness. Here is a list of those journalists:
Nigel Farage – GB News
Dan Wootton – GB News and Daily Mail
Richard Littlejohn – Daily Mail
Ross Clark – Daily Telegraph
Allister Heath – Daily Telegraph
Charles Moore – Daily Telegraph
Daniel Hannan – Daily Telegraph
Julia Hartley-Brewer – Talk Radio
Mike Graham – Talk Radio
Peter Hitchens – Daily Mail
Amanda Platell – Daily Mail
Rod Liddle – Spectator and Sunday Times
Dominic Lawson – Sunday Times
Fraser Nelson – Spectator
Iain Dale – LBC Radio
Melanie Phillips – The Times
Trevor Kavanagh – The Sun
Leo McKinstry – Daily Express
Commendably, Ross Clark has dared write an excellent climate change satire – THE DENIAL. But I haven’t seen any articles from him actually questioning the whole climate catastrophist mantra. As for the rest of these supposed ‘journalists’ – not a peep against the climate cultists.
I suppose there are four possible explanations why not a single one of these ‘journalists’, apart from Ross Clark’s book, has spoken out clearly against the climate catastrophist doomsday cult in spite of receiving a copy of THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS:
My book is absolute garbage and has deservedly been chucked in these journalists’ bins
The publications they work for have all decided that their editorial position is that man-made climate change is a real disaster threatening to exterminate mankind because the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from three molecules in 10,000 to a ‘massive’ four molecules in 10,000 in 150 years
None of the journalists have the courage to stand up to the climate cultist Twitter lynch mobs
The editors know that the climate catastrophist nonsense is nonsense. But they have agreed with Downing Street to avoid the subject in order to big up Boris’s role in making Britain a supposed ‘leader in fighting climate change’ ahead of the November Glasgow Cop26 big climate conference. After that, the editors will probably all get gongs or knighthoods or seats in the Lords as a reward for their grovelling support of Boris’s (and Carrie’s?) climate grandstanding
I was particularly disappointed that neither the supposedly ‘anti-woke’ GB News nor the usually anti-woke Talk Radio picked up on the story.
I’ll leave it to readers to speculate on the reason why none of the 18 journalists, who received a copy of THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS, have put their heads above the parapet and questioned the climate catastrophist rubbish being churned out day after day by all the mainstream media including the media which pay these journalists’ probably generous salaries.
Meanwhile in Australia
On a completely different subject, here’s a short video from Australia.
In my previous blog, I featured a video from the Merseyside Police which looked like a parody, but sadly wasn’t. In contrast, this Australian video looks like an official announcement, but is a real parody.
Below is a short (less than 2 minutes) video apparently put out by the Merseyside police in support of a LGBT++ day or week or month or year or whatever.
When I first saw it, I assumed it was a parody mocking our increasingly progressive, liberal, intersectional, diverse, non-binary, gender-sensitive, BLM-adoring, migrant-hugging, libtard, ludicrously useless police. But I have a horrible feeling that this video might actually be genuine, that it might actually represent today’s police service.
I don’t know.
If it is genuine, it hardly needs any commentary from an old-fashioned, prehistoric, outdated relic like myself.
The only thing I’d like to add is to suggest you notice the (IMHO laughable) job titles of some of those featured in the video:
Estate Strategy Coordination Support
Inspector – Community Engagement
Chief Inspector – Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
Detective Chief Inspector specialising in promoting pronoun awareness
and notice the (IMHO) total bollox they’re talking.
None of them seem to mention old-fashioned ideas like cutting crime (except, of course, supposed ‘hate crimes’), catching burglars and muggers or making our streets safer for ordinary, non-LGBT++ people.
Enjoy this example of the future of British policing:
I had high hopes for GB News. Being a big fan of Sky News Australia and the U.S. Fox News, I had expected the new GB News channel to be kick-ass, anti-woke, challenging and controversial.
In my humble opinion, it has turned out to be flatulent, cowardly, anodyne and boring – just another collection of North London self-admiring luvvies who would be equally at home on the woke BBC or UK-loathing C4 News:
Has GB News never heard of the Internet? Don’t they know about people like Paul Joseph Watson who have the cojones to be controversial? Or Guido Fawkes (Paul Staines)? Or there are Julia Hartley-Brewer and Mike Graham from Talk Radio? Or intellectual giants like Douglas Murray who dare challenge the woke mainstream media narrative? Why employ a bunch of (IMHO) mediocre, opinion-free North London nonentities when there is so much talent available?
And why promise us you’re going to be anti-woke, when it was all a lie?
People don’t like being lied to. And when you lie to your potential audience, they switch over to someone else.
Farage flounders and flops?
When I heard that Farage would be joining GB News, I decided to give the channel another chance.
At first I wasn’t disappointed as Farage put the boot in on our utterly useless and pointless waste of skin Home Secretary Priti Patel over her failure to stop the cross-channel migrant invasion. And my spirits lifted when Farage accused Patel, her Border Farce and even the supposed charity, the RNLI, of providing a free ferry service for thousands of Third-world parasites from the French beaches to the UK.
But yesterday evening (Thursday) I had smoke coming out of my ears when Farage did a piece on climate change. I have sent three copies of my book – THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS – to GB News, one of them to Farage. I have also emailed a producer there proposing that GB News interview me should they ever want to do a piece on climate change.
So, who does Farage interview yesterday evening? Someone like myself who has written a book demolishing the catastrophic man-made climate change nonsense? Or Tony Heller from Real Climate Science? Or Anthony Watts from Watts Up With That? Or someone else who can eviscerate the whole man-made climate change scam? Nope, Farage’s main guest was a climate change believer from some climate change organisation. WTF is the use of that?
Even worse, Farage started his main question with something grovelling like “I know that most scientists agree that human activities are responsible for the changing climate….” At this point my jaw hit the floor and I stormed out of the room in fury. Why?
Firstly, you should never start an interview question by essentially submitting to the interviewee’s point of view because that shows the interviewee that you are weak and that they can walk all over you. Instead you should challenge them from a position of strength
Secondly, because in the letter I sent with a copy of my book to Farage, I wrote that if he didn’t read my book, he should at least read Chapter 9 where I take a wrecking ball to the claim that “97% of scientists agree that humans are responsible for climate change”. FFS, Farage! What were you thinking?
GB News – a sad case of NIH syndrome?
The people behind GB News are (I assume) not stupid. While planning and launching their news channel they must have looked around the world for what works and what doesn’t. If they had done that, they would have seen that the anti-woke formats of Sky News Australia and Fox News USA are commercially successful because they serve an audience that is fed up of the woke, progressive, liberal, West-hating, diversity-loving, BLM-adoring establishment media. So it would not have been too complicated to learn from Sky News Australia and Fox News.
Unfortunately the geniuses at GB News seem to have been infected by a severe case of NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome. This has led them to believe they are much smarter than Sky News Australia and Fox News and therefore have nothing to learn from the existing commercially-successful anti-woke news channels. So instead of exciting, challenging people like Hannity or Tucker Carlson (Fox News) or Andrew Bolt or Rowan Dean’s Ice Age Watch (Sky News Australia) we have hour after hour of a couple of nonentities sitting on a couch in what looks like someone’s garage or garden shed spouting woke inanities.
How could GB News be so cowardly? How could they get it so wrong?
Al Jazeera, here I come
As for me, I like to watch a serious news programme at around 6 in the evening. While searching for GB News at 236 on my TV, I came across Al Jazeera at 235. Al Jazeera really isn’t too bad. They do a good round-up of world news and are no worse than the BBC. Moreover, RT News at 234 can sometimes be quite amusing and informative.
So, I’m giving up on the (IMHO) pointless GB News and moving over to Al Jazeera and RT News.
Come on GB News – you were meant to be anti-woke and different from the mainstream BBC, ITV and C4 News.
But like a eunuch trying to seduce a busty blonde, you promised a lot but you didn’t deliver.
Don’t worry – it’s not climate change today! In fact, I won’t even mention my brilliant new book – THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS:
And I won’t even ask you to buy a few copies for yourself and any friends, who actually believe the catastrophic man-made global warming nonsense, to help support this website.
The worst epidemic ever to hit Britain?
Many readers may believe that the worst epidemic to hit the UK in our lifetimes is the Chinese Wuhan lab-leaked Fauci-Frankenvirus Covid-19 plague. How wrong you would be. At most only about 15% of the UK population are estimated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to have contracted the WuFlu.
Of course, that’s pretty bad. But there is a worse epidemic which has struck the noble people of our once great country – the disability epidemic. According to the ONS, 46% of pension age adults claim they are disabled; 22% of all adults claim to be disabled and an astonishing 19% of working-age people are apparently ‘disabled’:

Here’s what the ONS tells us
A person is considered to have a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that has ‘substantial’ and ‘long term’ negative effects on their ability to do normal daily activities. This is the core definition of disability in the Equality Act 2010.
In 2019 to 2020, 14.1 million people reported a disability, an increase of 2.7 million since 2009 to 2010, where disability was reported by 11.4 million people. The percentage of people who reported a disability in 2019 to 2020 has increased to 22% since 2009 to 2010, when the percentage of people who reported a disability was 19%, a change of three per cent over the period.
So, if you walk down a street, about one in every five adults you see is probably registered as ‘disabled’.
Of course, there are people who are genuinely disabled. And we should help them to live as normal lives as possible. But do you really believe that one in five people in the UK are genuinely disabled?
Just as a comparison, in Spain and the Netherlands around one in ten people are classed as disabled. And in Canada and Austria it’s about one in seven. So there are apparently twice the percentage of disabled people in the UK compared to Spain and the Netherlands and about 50% more in the UK than Canada and Austria.
From what little I understand, being supposedly ‘disabled’ brings a double lottery win. You can claim all kinds of benefits for yourself to help you master all the daily tasks that an abled person can do, plus a member of your family or a friend can claim a ‘carer’s allowance’ to look after you.
I would never be so cynical to suggest that many supposedly ‘disabled’ people are just work-shy, lazy, parasitic benefits scroungers and that governments never clamp down on such people because classing people as ‘disabled’ enables governments to hide the real numbers of the unemployed.
Horrifying levels of the epidemic in Scrotland and Wales?
A possibly interesting feature of the terrible disability epidemic, which has struck Britain, is how badly this modern epidemic has affected the Scrots and the Welsh:
(left-click on the chart once, wait a few seconds and left-click again to see it much more clearly)
Here’s what the ONS tells us:
The number of people in the UK, who reported a disability in 2019 to 2020 was 14.1 million. This means that nationally, 22% of people have a disability, however the prevalence of people reporting a disability varied across the UK.
In Wales, the proportion of people who reported a disability was 27%, five per cent higher than UK national average
This was also the case in Scotland, with 25% of people reporting a disability, three per cent higher than the UK national average
Even our children are affected
A welcome feature of the Fauci Wuhan Frankenvirus is that it hardly affects our children. But the disability epidemic sadly has struck down about one in eight children. Yup, 12.2% of schoolchildren are classed as having SEN (Special Educational Needs) and this number has been increasing every year. So, in a class of say 30 children, between 3 and 4 children will apparently have special educational needs.
A bit like being supposedly ‘disabled’, having special educational needs brings several kinds of benefits. The school gets more money to help the afflicted children. And the children can get extra teaching, more time to complete exams and even helpers to work with them while they take their exams.
There are rumours – but I haven’t seen any figures confirming this – that the children of sharp-elbowed middle-class families are more likely to be considered as having special educational needs than the children of working-class families. If true, this would be odd. After all, a child is a product of heredity and environment. Both these should advantage children of professional, middle-class parents. And I would never be so cynical as to suggest that middle-class families are better at playing the system than working-class families.
So, while we all rightly fret about the terrible toll of the Chinese lab-leaked Wuhan KungFlu, we should perhaps worry even more about the extraordinary disability epidemic that has crippled so many of our fine citizens and their unfortunate children.
