“Downing Street […] scrambles to get it signed before Donald Trump takes office”.
Yes, that’s going to go down well with the new US President. /sarc
That goes beyond incompetence – it is literally mind boggling.
Freedom, EVs and the future;
This is a good practical summary of the situation with regard to Electric Cars (EVs) and our future;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HfuM-sYxQ
The final conclusion is pertinent to the politics and the scam of EVs, the end aim is not for us all to switch from petrol/diesel (ICE) cars to EVs but to switch most of us to having no car at all.The effect on life in the UK will be huge, the loss of travel freedom, the restrictions on our lives and activities will be profound. Maybe this idea;
“It’s time to become the 51st state of the U.S.”
Is worth some consideration?
Yes, the intention is to remove all private transport except for the elites.
Once the majority of the population have their personal transport taken from them society will grind to a halt, in effect all but collapse because the few millions still employed in the private sector will be unable to get to work. The public sector will simply mess about at home.
Chinese stealth jet is ‘super weapon’ that could control the skies
‘According to Justin Bronk, Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), while the aircraft’s design is “fascinating,” it is likely part of China’s ongoing regional bomber/strike fighter development, rather than their sixth-generation fighter programme.’
Britain first flew a flying wing prototype in 1949
The Chinese are no doubt keen to encourage the U.S. and so European countries to spend more on defence in order to achieve conventional deterrence and peace once more in Europe, making the world a safer place.
China has a long border with Russia…and Russia still occupies large territories that were part of historical China.
As I was reading about the ‘Stealth Super-plane’, I did wonder how it managed to get itself ‘spotted in the skies’. If you can see it by looking upwards, it doesn’t sound too stealthy to me.
You do realise that lack of a tail is not what makes it stealthy.And Britain flew its first successful tailless aircraft in 1910 with the Dunne D5.
“Hospital wards ‘full to bursting’, leading doctor warns”
A sharp increase in winter illnesses..? What shockingly rotten bad luck. I thought after having a sharp rise in winter illnesses for every one of the last 70 years, we might just escape it this time.
I did notice flu stayed conveniently out of the way to make room for covid! That was puzzling, or maybe it was just counted as covid instead? Kept the scary covid numbers up
Surely we could have expected some relief from the “sharp increase in Winter illnesses” after the jabathon of the last three years. Are we to conclude that les jabs have not worked?
I’m having trouble logging in using Firefox. The problem seemed to start yesterday – it keeps telling me I have entered the wrong password. Chromium is working so it’s not my password that’s wrong.
I’m checking to see if FF updated itself again.
I was logged out three times yesterday.
Try Brave, great browser.
I use Firefox; this is the current version. Just occasionally, this site doesn’t remember my login details – not every day.
I very much doubt Russia sends its shadow fleet to circumnavigate the world. I think they’re trying to circumvent sanctions instead.
