On Monday, the Guardian asked women in the U.K. to share their experiences of being “subjected to online misogyny” – and quicky found itself subject to a barrage of replies from women for whom the main source of online misogyny was, er, the Guardian. Guido Fawkes has collected some of the responses:
- “Does a pile on started by Owen Jones which ended with a man local to me developing a fixation on me and leaving me scared to leave the house count?” – Victoria Freeman
- “Owen Jones” – Julie Bindel
- “Well I cancelled my Guardian subscription because I was sick and tired of your biased reporting on gender ideology, which endangers women. Does that count?” – FletchFletchington
- “You removed J.K. Rowling from your list of celebrity birthdays because her support for women’s rights upset the incels in your IT department.” – Simon Edge
- “Ask the female journalists you drove out of their jobs. If you can remember what ‘female’ means.” – Sarah Phillimore
- “There was the time a clownish far-Left publication insisted birthing bodies and chestfeeding were ‘inclusive’ terms. Gross.” – Rita Panagi
- “Remember those articles you published about the Wi Spa incident, making out women and girls being exposed to a naked sex offender in the changing rooms were bigots?” – Andrea Paterson
- “I’ve had an awful amount of abuse, and a pile on orchestrated by your Owen Jones, who is really quite a horrific nasty bully.” – Red Tory
- “Seeing you get rid of Suzanne Moore and other female writers so you could keep misogynist opinion and misogynists like Owen Jones. You are truly the nastiest most anti-women paper in the U.K.” – Lottie Lewis

Every decision involves a trade-off – which means that full data should be available and not waved away by a wave of an activists hand.
In my work, I’ve tried to obtain these sorts of data from official and/or reliable sources. It’s either extremely difficult or, more usually, the data is simply not available. And that’s before you have to face the possibility that some of the data is fake.
Perhaps windmill fires are as ‘rare’ as battery cars going up in flames and toxic smoke. There was a more unusual one where a battery scooter in the boot caught fire and burnt a normal car out.
‘exposed to the same flow of oxygen that fuels fire’
Glad they mentioned that. I’d have wondered otherwise …
And don’t ever forget ‘they are designed to catch the wind’
You learn something new everyday!
It does seem to be written for the ‘hard of thinking’ doesn’t it… also there’s a quote an engine was damaged… surely they mean generator?
Unless they have a motor to make the turbine go round on calm days, to create the impression it’s doing some good, and create a breeze to drive the next turbine downwind?
Don’t worry, I’m not being serious.
Joking aside, I wonder if they do have a small diesel generator as a power backup of last resort… it certain conditions they need to be able to brake the thing, or furl the blades (I think that’s the term used)
Don’t worry they are connected to the Grid! But if that fails there will be a problem.
That’s what I meant – say your wind farm of 100 turbines loses its grid connection and a storm is coming, they must have some inbuilt backup power to park them / protect them somehow or you could lose the lot. Maybe some stored air or similar + batteries for control gear
Except on the days when it is too windy to generate electricity……
Ohh… but no problem the con-companies still get paid
The smoke from that fire is reall pollution. What will the greenies say – nothing, I suspect.
Plus the carbon compounds.
Probably saved a few birds by burning down. Chris Packham should be happy!
Not for nothing some three hundred years ago were all those dark satanic mills powered by the high density, high gradient, high continuity hydrocarbon energy that superseded flaky windmills and waterwheels inherently subject to the whims of weather.
And three hundred years later, dimwit politicians and media still don’t get it.
Bring me my bow of burning coal, bring me my arrows of fire.
Bring me my arrow & I know where I’d shoot it…
More please.
What a good job wind energy is so cheap and plentiful. They’ll have plenty of money in the coffers to buy replacement turbines.
I’m in ironic mode today.
They destroy on so many levels and yet they are held to be benificent. You don’t need a clearer illustration of the Satanic nature of this agenda. You find it in every area of this project. Everything they produce is the very opposite of what it purports to be. The electric car is an increasingly conspicuous example. Just consider their conceit, the assumption that we would all just go along with this agenda and eat the bugs. It really shows you how much they are high on their own supply.
I’m sure the insurers have the data
“Firefighters arrived to find a well-developed fire involving a wind turbine…”
I’m certain this fire would have been visible from some miles away.
I tried, a few years ago, to find Health and Safety statistics for Big Wind. Both onshore and offshore.
For some strange reason, official statistics of serious injury and fatalities were then hard to find.
No doubt the HSE are now all over the case, such a blatantly high risk workplace!
I well remember how keen Her Majesty’s Mining Inspectorate were, quite rightly!
Surely, it couldn’t be the case that different H&S approaches were applied to different industries??
Add that environmental hazard to the thousands of EVs that are catching fire when it is least expected. The fire caused by a damaged or faulty battery is very toxic and incredibly difficult to put out.
