The 18 year old kid of a friend has just bought themselves a small car for £1,000. That’s about 1 month of minimum wage for someone that age. With tax, insurance and fuel it’s costing them about 30p/mile to run it (I suspect on a parent’s insurance). In 10 years or so, I want my grandchildren to have that sort of option – to be able to have personal transport which they can use to go out with friends in exchange for a chunk of their low wages. I don’t imagine that a £1,000 5th owner electric car will be in that price bracket and if ULEZ zones proliferate they won’t be able to go anywhere with an ICE car.
Just re-read this – the last bit doesn’t make sense. I’ve missed the edit window so clarification:
I don’t imagine 5th-owner electric cars being available for 1 month’s wages.
They’ll be no 5th-owner electric cars available, for the simple reason the batteries won’t last that long, and the cost of a new battery.. yeah right !!!!!! It ain’t gonna happen..
I very much agree with your point. I did see a 2011 Nissan Leaf with 5 previous owners on Autotrader (5 years younger than my friend’s kid’s car and much more expensive)… makes me wonder why so many people wanted to get rid of it.
…and yet this is a story in the Telegraph today….but you are a conspiracy nutter if you mention population replacement theory??
(It’s behind a paywall so I’ve pasted a few of the ‘nuggets’)!
UK birth slump dubbed ‘good for planet’ as number of babies born hits 20-year lowBirth rate slump in West will address overconsumption, former government adviser says.
Professor Sarah Harper CBE, founder and director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing and a former government adviser, said falling birth rates in the West were “good for… our planet”.
Her comments came after official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed there were 605,479 live births in England and Wales last year, the lowest number since 2002.
Prof Harper told the Telegraph: “I think it’s a good thing that the high-income, high-consuming countries of the world are reducing the number of children that they’re having. I’m quite positive about that.”
The academic said declining fertility in rich countries would help to address the “general overconsumption that we have at the moment”, which has a negative impact on the planet.
She said: “We will see smaller populations in high-income countries going forward. It’s just going to be a trend of the 21st century and that will actually be good for general overall overconsumption that we have at the moment and our planet.”
Research has found that wealthy nations tend to have much larger carbon footprints than poorer countries, as rich people can afford to buy more goods, travel more and do other activities that generate emissions.
While the overall number of births in Britain is declining, the share of children born to women from outside of Britain has hit a record high.
Almost one in three children born last year were delivered by mothers born outside of the UK. The number of births by women born outside the UK rose 3,600 year-on-year to account for 30.3pc of all births. The previous peak was 29.3pc in 2020.
When including the father, more than one in three children born last year had at least one foreign-born parent. In London, the figure was two thirds.
The ONS said: “In 2022, India replaced Romania as the most common country of birth for non-UK-born mothers, and Pakistan as the most common country of birth for non-UK-born fathers.”
For the first time since records began in 2003, Afghan women were among the top ten most common nationalities for foreign-born mothers.
So get used to it you white working class scum…..we aren’t equaling up..we are all going down….you will be replaced and you WILL be happy!!?
In 10 years youngsters won’t want the hassle of car ownership, they will just use RoboTaxis, the car equivalent of music streaming, hardly anyone buys music media these days.
If everyone is herded into 15 minute
prisonscities by then, there won’t be any need for personal transport, and the ability to travel further afield will be based on one’s social credit score. Don’t forget the ‘you will own nothing’ part of the plan….“Nigel Farage is wrong: Calling a Net Zero referendum would create more problems than it solved”
That’s as maybe but to my mind this article fails to consider the immiseration that net-zero is destined to visit on ordinary people. After all, net-zero is a legal matter and the laws of the UK are set by parliament and the law can be changed. Much of the official action on net-zero involves bans and fines, as of 2024 the proportion of cars sold that are EV has a Government target which if not met will result in the motor industry being fined. The whole idea that these net-zero measures have to be introduced by bans and fines gives an indication that these measures can only happen if they are forced on us by authoritarian rule. There was never a law that said people had to give up horses and use cars for transport, the advantages of the car spoke for itself. The same approach should be taken with net zero, no bans no fines, it the net zero technology is advantageous I have no doubt it will be taken up with great enthusiasm. If people reject the current net-zero technology it will encourage innovation to come up with something better.
Calling referendums is not always the best option as you can end up with a result you didn’t want and that result is then treated like law. Imagine if the results were skewed in favour of Net Zero! By the way, I’m not referring to Brexit in this as that was certainly a good decision.
I am totally against Net Zero and climate catastrophism … but, the analogy of horses to cars does not IMO stand up. In that case, people made the switch for purely selfish reasons (ie with no regard to “societal costs” or “externalities”) and that made sense because society accepted the externalities (noise pollution, exhaust fumes, roads, etc) as a price worth paying for the freedom and economic benefits gained.
In this case, from the other side’s perspective, we cannot simply each act selfishly if the externalities associated with doing so are seen as unacceptable.
I would be interested to hear from the thumbs-downers. I was simply making a logical point; so would be interested to know what the flaw is in my logic.
“Nigel Farage is wrong: Calling a Net Zero referendum would create more problems than it solved”
Nigel calling for it has killed it anyway. The biggest issue with questions about Nett Zero are not about whether it is achieveable, but why we should bother in the first place. As more than half the country seems to have taken this concept onboard as proven fact, the first argument to win is that the Emperors arse is showing.
Perhaps some progress being made in SA.

“If you’re under 50, it’s time to jump ship – get out of Britain while you can” And go where? To a country where you don’t speak the lingo and don’t know the laws especially those affecting foreign nationals? Where your rights might not be upheld? Where you could be treated badly if you say the wrong thing? Much of the English speaking world is out – Australia is rapidly becoming a prison island again if it hasn’t already; New Zealand lovely though it is can become draconian at the drop of a hat plus if you wanted to see your rellies again, it’ll just get more and more difficult if nigh on impossible; the US is imploding; and South Africa is not safe for white people. The EU is out of the question too. India? Japan? Nowhere seems safe these days. At least here in the UK, we have a fighting chance. We know the people, the language, the laws, the customs and traditions. Yes, it is getting more difficult but there is always another narrative.
Certainly not France.. this place is becoming a $h1t hole on steroids at the speed of light. Yeah.. there’s more space, but don’t worry the TPTB under Micron don’t intend to let people remain in the countryside.. Smart Cities.. are where you’re destined..
I wonder if there’s more immigrants arriving daily than babies being born….Time for your daily anti-immigration dose of reality. The German edition;
”The first Muslim German chancellor is the prophecy for “Germany in thirty years”.This is the plot of “Die Kandidatin”, the novel by Constantin Schreiber, winner of the Grimme Prize and Tagesschau correspondent . Sabah Hussein and his electoral success with the Greens are the result of the great demographic changes he now calls “diversity”. Sabah comes from Neukölln, the immigrant district in Berlin. Meanwhile, Germany has “changed”. At least a quarter of the employees in government agencies and companies must by law be Muslim.
That in Berlin the name Mohammed is the most popular for newborns is not novel, but the new data released by Berliner Zeitung and Zeit shows that also in other cities, such as Bremen, Mohammed is first. Bild informs us that “Mohammed also entered the top ten in Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland”. Welt writes that “even in Dortmund, in first place is Mohammed, as in Duisburg and Essen…”. And even in a city like Gelsenkirchen, Mohammed is first.
In Hamburg, two thirds of the churches are to be closed in the next few years. And in Hamburg, the second largest German city, there are already 50 mosques.”

https://healthmedia.blog.gov.uk/2023/08/08/covid-autumn-booster-vaccine-2023-everything-you-need-to-know/
“The JCVI advises that people who have not yet received their first Covid jab should be offered a single vaccine dose as their primary course.”
Interesting change of advice they’ve slipped in. Why, now, just the one shot of the muck? This, to me at least, seems to be a tacit acknowledgement that they know the muck is dangerous. It’s the most they can backpedal and still save face.
And this little gem from the same page:
“People who received an autumn booster vaccine last year were around 53% less likely to go to the hospital with Covid in the two to four weeks after getting vaccinated, compared to those who didn’t get a booster.“
That’s the best they’ve got? Two to four weeks after getting vaccinated? And what about after that, how likely then? We know the answer, MORE likely. And… we now know that they class people in this period as unvaccinated, so what the hell is going on in their thinking. Panic, panic, panic me thinks.
And what about zero to two weeks after getting vaccinated? In 2021 and 2022, this period counted for official stats purposes as “unvaccinated”. Pure evil.
“People who received an autumn booster vaccine last year were around 53% less likely to go to the hospital with Covid in the two to four weeks after getting vaccinated, compared to those who didn’t get a booster.“
What was the % increase in hospitalisation in non Covid cases during these two to four weeks in those receiving the booster?
Do tell! (ONS? One knock for yes…)
Another young sportsperson is taken by the ”died suddenly” pandemic currently sweeping the globe. Playing sports and being under 40yrs has never looked so risky.

Interesting factoid:
Almost a third of new babies registered in England and Wales last year were born to foreign mothers, the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published on Thursday revealed.
A total of 605,479 live births were registered in the countries in 2022, a 3.1 percent drop from the previous year’s total of 624,828 and the lowest number since 2002.
Of the annual figure, 30.3 percent, or 183,309 births were to mothers born outside of the U.K., up from 179,726 in 2021.
The majority of foreign mothers originated outside of the European Union — 58,037 babies were born to EU-born mothers compared to 125,272 born to non-EU-born mothers.
India replaced Romania to become the most common country of birth for non-U.K.-born mothers for the first time since reporting began in 2003, the ONS revealed.”
https://rmx.news/uk/uk-1-in-3-newborns-registered-to-foreign-mothers-last-year/
With “interesting” being a synonym for “hugely depressing”.
And what proportion of Romanian mothers are actually Roma, and therefore also of Indian origin?

Yeah I shared that the other day.
What I do think is a bit OTT though is the trans ‘woman’ not being allowed to play chess against women. I didn’t even know chess competitions were single sex! I can understand actual sports that are all about physicality being separated by one’s sex but sitting on your bum analyzing a puzzle for hours doesn’t really give you an advantage over a woman if you were born male does it? Don’t get that one. I mean, is mixed darts a thing?? Answers on a postcard please.. 
I had raised eyebrows at that headline too but apparently chess is still seen as a male dominated activity and the difference is a ‘participation gap’ – many more men play than women. On that basis alone I agree with the decision. Nice study here:
https://en.chessbase.com/post/what-gender-gap-in-chess
We conclude that at least among non-junior FIDE-rated Indian players, there is no evidence that the “achievement gap” is anything but a participation gap. That is not to deny the first-person perspective of top female players, who might feel that they have reached a personal ceiling in their performance. But statistically, there is nothing to suggest that top female players are underperforming given the overall ratio of female to male players. In fact, taking into account the systemic injustices and biases that they had to overcome to get where they are, they are likely overperforming.
However, when it comes to darts the story is different. Physical strength is not an issue but hand eye co-ordination is. The co-ordination deficit is also evident in matters of vehicle management although there is a tendency to cover this up with lazy slurs thrown at those pointing out such slippages.
Is that a fact, HP? That males generally have better hand-eye coordination than females? Is there any study or other evidence you can point to?
Genuinely asking, not challenging.

This highly disturbing video is currently doing the rounds from Belgium. The article implies the culprits are from an immigrant background. Either way they need caught and given a good thrashing. Imagine watching this if you were the boy’s parents?! Fecking awful.
”Viral footage of a Belgian teenager being savagely beaten by a gang and forced to kiss the feet of his attackers has provoked a strong reaction from lawmakers opposed to mass immigration and in favor of greater law and order.
The disturbing video circulated on social media on Thursday purported to show a defenseless White teenager humiliated and mauled by a group of peers. The victim is ordered to kneel before the aggressors who put their feet in front of his mouth and shouted, “Kiss! Kiss!”
Under duress, the victim obliged and kissed the feet of several attackers before being punched and kicked in the head as he lay on the ground.”

Good example! Steve Martin did similar in the execrable Roxanne, and Adam Sandler started with an impressive proboscis in Just Go With It (you can tell I watch romcoms).
The banning of facial prosthetics first started at Hooters restaurants. By way of protest the waiting staff get their t*ts out nightly.

”Maui Emergency Management Agency director Herman Andaya, who made reportedly made the final decision AGAINST activating the emergency sirens in Lahaina, Maui, has RESIGNED.
The sirens were meant to alert residents of imminent tsunamis, wildfires, terrorist attacks, etc.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) has consistently defended the refusal to use sirens.”

https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2022/november/extreme-heart-care-disruption-linked-to-excess-deaths-involving-heart-disease
November 2022…Since the pandemic began, there have been just over 30,000 excess deaths involving heart disease – on average over 230 additional deaths a week above expected heart disease death rates.
Heart disease is among the most prominent diseases involved in the high numbers of excess deaths since the start of the pandemic, the analysis shows.
While Covid-19 infection was likely a significant factor in excess coronary heart disease-related deaths during the first year of the pandemic, Covid infections are no longer a driving force behind the excess heart disease death rate.
and……
https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2023/june/100000-excess-deaths-cardiovascular-disease
June 2023….Nearly 100,000 more people with cardiovascular disease than expected have died since the start of the pandemic in England, according to our analysis published today.
so in the space of eight months it has gone from 30.000 to 100.000? and not one single mention of…you know what? Unless they are right and basically there is no healthcare left at all…?
As I have posted many times Mrs Gums the BHF is wholly corrupt organisation and completely signed up to the Scamdemic agenda. It has no interest in seeking to improve heart disease issues.
The BHF has always supported masking throughout the Scamdemic, even for those suffering from heart disease.

Joe Biden‘s transgender health secretary has praised an Alaska gender-affirming care clinic which wants the word ‘mother’ replaced with the phrase ‘egg producer.’
That’s just plain insulting AND factually incorrect.
Whatever happened to ‘significant carer’ – a sterile phrase but one which did occasionally come in handy back in the day (a dad or foster parent being main carer, for example). Can’t see what the transfascists could find wrong with it, but I suppose that’s not the point, is it.
