Three smear pieces in the Mail this morning, great grandparents were cousins; Lisa Marie was a drug addict; Lisa Marie was slurring her words on Tuesday. Distasteful to say the least but another high profile cardiac arrest in what, two weeks, must be deflected.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/environment/2023/01/12/new-gas-boilers-could-banned-within-decade/

One of the recommendations in this report is to ban the sale of houses with an energy rating of below C. It seems symptomatic of the authoritarian and dictatorial approach to all this that a ban is imposed when an empathetic and understanding government would be offering help, assistance and guidance in up-grading the energy performance of your house.
As it is, has there been any realistic technical assessment as to what it would take to up-grade all D & E graded houses to a C rating? Can this actually be achieved? Many older people will be living in houses rated D or E, what will happen to these houses when the owners die and the houses need to be sold?

The houses will automatically pass to the local authority/government and be sold to developers known to the local authority/government at knock-down (literally) prices. The developers will build ‘approved’ housing totally out of character with the surrounding houses. The new houses will either be sold or rented out for ridiculous sums of money. The relatives of the deceased owner may get a nominal sum of money – if they are lucky.

“The houses will automatically pass to the local authority.”

Agree.
The intention between now and 2030 is to steal citizens properties. In order to achieve this property values need to collapse so higher interest rates are on the way. Negative equity and wage stagnation or deflation will render people homeless. The unfortunates will be offered hutches in the “smart cities” currently being developed across the country. Cue 15 minute cities.

Obviously a city hutch may well depend on total subservience to the dictates of whichever puppets have been placed in charge. It has all been planned for.

After 40 years in the building trade I can categorically say energy ratings and Ber ratings are cobblers!
I’ve seen two apts in the same building one above the other, both center floors with no roof or ground above or below, with no refurb or upgrading, given C for one and an E for the other! Same block same walls same age same poor insulation, different surveyor!
most housing stock in the UK is old, built before the understanding of most of today’s surveyors. You cannot look at the inside and outside of a wall and know how it’s constructed, you would have to knock a hole in it to find out for definite! same goes for floors, foundations and rooves! It’s just a gov con to make us pay more, and certainly no basis for expensive national housing stock upgrading. A person with credentials comes round with a box ticking check sheet and ticks the ones they think apply, thanks bye,…your house now needs £10000 more refurb than the same house next door!
as I said ,
Cobblers!

Thanks for the link BB. Miri writes very well and in an extremely approachable manner. I must say the way she (?) draws together the strands of our current predicament is very persuasive. What really persuades me is the ‘Andrew’ connection. Andrew = Brave.

If there is one beacon that always shines through the machinations of the Davos Deviants (DD) it is their insistence on broadcasting what they are about. Obviously their little joke but for those who see it a real signifier of intent.

The Muslim angle is very convincing. I do not believe the DD’s are Muslim or religious except in a satanic manner but the ultra orthodox Muslim type society they seek to foist upon the world would no doubt suit their new world order to a tee dependent as it is on a ‘high class ruling elite’ served by a miserable, impoverished slave class.

At the start of this shit show three years ago I warned there would be blood on the streets, sadly at some point I believe this is inevitable.

Excellent writing and ‘worth reading in full’ as we say round these parts.

It behoves us here to resist peacefully as violence is what the DD’s have planned for, expect & want.

I am amazed that the Beeb Bod did not close him down when he called for suspension of the so-called “vaccines.”
