“‘Nothing has done more damage to Coutts’ reputation than this decision!’”
The left never were very good at 2nd and 3rd order problems. I suppose if every decision you make is perfect, then you never have to worry about consequences.
Exactly. To the left, the rules are the rules and if only people just followed them everything would be fine!
Befehl ist Befehl!
“Experts call for investigation as excess deaths spark ‘dangerous’ theories”
There are no ‘wild’, or ‘conspiracy’ theories. There are hypotheses based on comprehensive data observations. I suspect the real ‘danger’ is getting found out about what they’ve done.
I doubt that any theory could be more dangerous than a massive excess death rate that is not being investigated.
Individual?
Is he having a laugh? This isn’t the work of an individual.
It’s more like a corporate policy established by a group of executives, along the lines of being selective about certain groups of customers.
Re ‘This is not the apocalypse’. I notice how quiet the media is about Britian’s current appalling summer weather. We had two decent weeks in June and other than that it has either been cold and dry or very cool and wet all year, in my amateur observations. Of course, it is just weather, as is the summer sunshine in southern Europe. They can’t have it both ways – how can hot weather be climate change, yet 600 to 700 hundred miles away, it isn’t, but just a quirk of the jet stream? I think I’d place my bets on hot weather round the Med. being just weather as well, and also a happy hunting ground for arsonists who have found the perfect conditions for their hobby.
Saw a good ‘meme’ yesterday..
It said …..
….Global Warming Starter Kit…and underneath was a picture of a box of matches and a petrol can……LOL!
The weather in southern Spain right now is absolutely fabulous. Fresh mornings, warm tending to hot days and cool evenings
No heatwave.now, just perfect summer weather.
I don’t expect the BBC will be sending their global warming hunters down here to investigate and report any time soon, though.
Sounds wonderful! This damp is playing hell with my arthritis.
“Environmentalists ‘ignore the winter’ while ‘hyping up’ summers to maintain climate narrative, expert claims”
I was unable to open this article but nonetheless right on cue a group has fired off with with predictions of desolation as a result of our climate crimes;
https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-heat-in-north-america-europe-and-china-in-july-2023-made-much-more-likely-by-climate-change/
This article makes the statement;
What I find so weird is that these ‘experts’ have no doubt whatsoever that whatever is happening to the climate (if anything) it is all our fault. It does seem like some sort of religious cult idea of original sin and that we are all sinners and must don sackcloth and ashes and immiserate ourselves. It seems to be a whole cult of misery and guilt. I remember student holidays in Greece many years ago, it was ludicrously hot, but people were too busy doing other things to talk about heat-waves and nobody seemed to have thought about setting fire to the forests.
It seems to me that if we do as this article suggests and rapidly stop burning fossil fuels, the misery and suffering that will create will be immense.
How much co2 do you think comes out of an erupting volcano? I suspect it dwarfs anything we can do….
Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano erupted on May 23, 2023. (L.A. Times)
The eruptions have grown bigger and more frequent in recent weeks — rattling homes with wheezing exhalations that residents compare to steam escaping from a pressure cooker…
Each spring, residents of this village tucked at the base of one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes trek up to a cave near its crater to make a peace offering..

Maybe they need to ’up’ the offerings? I’m thinking a few of those gobshite environmentalist’s for a start?
Not to mention the 19,000 new submarine volcanoes recently discovered and mapped…

When is Farage going to wake up to the fact that he´s missing a political opportunity even greater than Brexit? His infatuation with the Media is blinding him to the fact that the media is transient froth. Real political power comes from parliament.
There is no prospect of relief from the Tory/Labour UniParty in 2025 unless there is a credible alternative. There is only one Party that offers a credible alternative, simply because its name has traction, and that is UKIP. All the others (Reform, Heritage, Respect, etc., etc.) have absolutely zero traction.
It is all the more regrettable therefore that Farage´s Reform Party rebuffed an approach from the current UKIP for debate to find common ground or even union. This hesitation by Farage sentences us to another five years of corporate banksterdom – which is why UKIP 2.0 is so urgently needed as a chance for escape from the current nightmare.
Wildfires “like a biblical catastrophe” spouts that paragon of truth, the BBC. Who knows what “biblical catastrophes” were like, if they even happened? Are there any living witnesses?
It appears that at the moment most people are ignoring the BBC.

…yes, I noticed that myself..if you look at any articles about Covid/jab/excess deaths…..Zero green stuff…LGBTQ+ ..and migrants…..the comments are at complete odds with the articles…and they are not buying it…
Maybe the tide is finally thinking, at least, about turning?
I don’t think the Just Stop Oil counter group are in fact a counter group. They’re on the same side of the argument and I suspect funded by the same people. I watched the video until I heard this ‘You have to be a top tier tit to deny that climate change is the greatest problem we face and that something has to done’.

Still ‘Love is Love’, right?
The latest round of Pfizer documents released has unveiled a very disturbing fact which no doubt accounts for all the health harms, miscarriages, heart attacks, birth defects being reported around the globe.

From Dr Mike Yeadon
Brown Car Guy (Shazad) is well known in car circles. Recently he’s been investigating ULEZ.
He used the device that officials use to monitor air quality around London. Same supplier, who knew what he intended to do with it.
Bottom line, in no location around London, even on the busiest roads, right down at exhaust levels, did the air quality reach even medium risk on the scale (which scale is absurdly drawn so that your kitchen would be rated at “health emergency”).
ULEZ is all lies, just like climate change and the “pandemic”.
Same people, same methods, same objectives: removal of all of your freedoms, ostensibly for a greater cause.
You must share what’s happening with everyone you encounter, or we will lose.
There are far too few of us publicly speaking out.
All of us are horribly censored.
The media will only lie.
So you’re the only chance we have. Your children & grandchildren depend on YOU taking action, every day in this relentless war.
Best wishes
Mike
Ps: I have actual published research credentials in this field, adjacent issues like ozone and impact on respiratory function, so I became familiar with NOx and particulates in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
There really was arguably a problem but only up to the mandated fitting of catalytic converters. Ever since that event, air quality in London has been excellent, with few exceptions.
One is the London Underground!
There’s so much metallic dust from wheels and tracks wearing each other away.
Also, brake lining derived particulates, nasty stuff.
Organic vapours from oils, lubricants and hydraulic fluids etc.
I recommend you minimise your time there. Masks don’t work because the particles in question are smaller than the pore size even in a well fitting mask. Paper “masks” are a psychological crutch.
If we say nothing about ULEZ, they will remove all powered personal transport. If we allow that, it’ll be a permanent end to personal transport beyond your legs and a bicycle.
If you think I’m exaggerating, this is explicitly among the UN2030 so-called sustainable development goals.
Best wishes
Mike

A Nigel Farage (Reform) Andrew Bridgen (Reclaim) alliance as UKIP 2.0 would be very attractive to many voters.
Very many are fed up with the UniParty of bankster Sunak & kneeler Starmer.
