“They seem oddly unconcerned at the under-representation of straight white people…”
I’m not sure if I would call it odd. It feels more like a war to me.
What I would consider odd would be if The Groan started reporting the news in a straight way – pun intended – rather than stuffing every report with their own highly charged, woke, left-wing BS propoganda.
Now that would be odd.
Lionel Shriver is a good example of somebody who’s done a full 180 in her views on the jabs, as she explains here with Dan Wootten. And I think there are many in the same position as her. People are just not willing to get injected against something which isn’t a danger to them indefinitely. Well she’s a DS supporter so she’s obviously seen the light! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pjkFfEPe68
Where did the term “Carbon footprint” come from and what exactly is it? This interesting video is shareworthy for those climate change zealot suckers that we all know.

ATL….Shipping’s new ESG rules could starve millions…
Just sounds like a WEF/NWO quote of what they want it to do….

Just look at this disgraceful piece of “advice.”
Clearly the intent here is to normalise “snitching.” How very de jour.
More importantly it is a sign of the failure of the water companies to ensure sufficient water is collected and stored in times of plentiful rainfall. The real story here is the appalling failure of duty of water companies to do their primary job – collect rainfall.
I worked in the water industry many years ago. Even then local reservoirs were being taken out of use. How many have been built in the forty years since?
NONE.
The abject failure of water companies to do their most basic job is a national scandal and one which every government over the last fifty years (at least) shares responsibility for.
The UK is not, ever a country with insufficient rainfall to support its population. This story needs calling out at national level.
You’d almost be forgiven for thinking that the water companies sort of wanted a water shortage, HP. Noooo, that couldn’t happen could it? Water rationing? Get your water allowance digitally? No…perish the thought…could never happen…
Quite a few of the water companies have got major projects on the shelf that haven’t happened yet, because money says no, whether they involve new reservoirs, more buried pipelines to transfer surplus supplies to elsewhere (e.g. connecting the river Severn to the Thames), or whatever.
“Water
We have been warning on UK Column News of potential water shortages looming in the near future. As infrastructure advisors call for a national hosepipe ban and compulsory water metering, England has recorded its driest July in 111 years. The National Infrastructure Committee (NIC) is warning that consumers could face bottled water queues from the back of lorries if consumption is not managed now.
Clearly, the water industry is one that has been neglected for decades. Privatisation of the water industry has led to a collapse of the most important resource in the world. It should be remembered that whilst consumers will be limited, it is the fault of the water industry as a whole that, according to a report from the Consumer Council for Water, we lose three billion litres of water (660 million gallons) a day to leakage from British pipes.
Keep a close eye on the water industry. New innovations and plans to recycle waste water are coming to a location near you. As you would expect, Bill Gates has got his fingers in that pie, too—with the toilet that needs no sewers.”
Aethelred, look what I just found over at the always excellent UK Column News.
There is (presently) no water shortage as no part of the UK is considered to be in drought. Some parts of the country are officially in the state called prolonged dry weather, some are not and all the usual climate campaigner are trying to pressure the water companies in rationing water use despite there’s no reason for that because they very much wish there was one.
“In 1986, Paul Taylor, philosopher and environmentalist, stated that the “total, absolute, and final disappearance” of human beings would enhance the well-being of the Earth, and be greeted with a hearty “good riddance.”
Copied from a comment beneath Paul Homewood’s excellent Friday piece over at TCW.
That Taylor was a sharp cookie. Who exactly did he think was going to pronounce the ‘hearty good riddance?’

Oh, look at these proposals, duly ripped by Laura Dodsworth.
These will sit very nicely with the snitching suggested by the water companies.
