Most political parties in the U.K. sell the new green revolution by pointing to all the new skilled jobs that will be created. The British Government looks to produce no fewer than two million such ‘green’ jobs by 2030. But there is little sign of all these new opportunities. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently reported that there were 526,000 green jobs in 2020, but they include workers in the waste business, electric vehicles, education and management of Government bodies. Back in the day we would have called people working in such occupations dustmen, mechanics, teachers and bureaucrats. Most of the jobs being claimed simply stick a ’green’ label on either existing occupations, or are people switching, as in the transport business, to working on new products.
There are also a large number of ‘make work’ jobs listed in the ONS report including environmental charities, environment-related education, in-house environmental activities and environmental consultancy. Speculative ventures that are unlikely to turn into significant future businesses such as hydrogen supply and carbon capture and storage are included.
About 10% of the green jobs are to be found in charities, while many other occupations in waste collection, water treatment, repairs and forest management have always existed. Work on making more energy efficient products is hardly a new activity. It is probably not an exaggeration to state that the ‘great reset’ under way in the collectivist Net Zero project has barely created more than 150,000 genuine new jobs in the U.K. But the economic damage is mounting steadily. Across Europe, the high price of energy caused by a transition to unreliable wind is causing significant de-industrialisation, while the food production industry is facing potential collapse with a green war on fertiliser and meat production. Try telling 3,000 redundant steel workers in Port Talbot and the farmers who have been blocking roads across the continent that they are in the forefront of an exciting new green industrial revolution.
People are starting to twig. Gary Smith runs the GMB union which is heavily represented in manufacturing industries, and he recently noted the small number of jobs that are being produced by green technology. In an interview in the Spectator, he said that communities along the North Sea can see wind farms, “but they can’t point to the jobs”. He added that much of the green work seemed to be either London-based lobbying or clearing away the animal casualties of wind farm blades. “It’s usually a man in a rowing boat, sweeping up the dead birds,” he observed.
At least the ONS is trying to identify actual green jobs that have been created. Windy politicians can take more creative liberties – step forward London mayor Sadiq Khan, Chairman of the sinister green billionaire-funded C40 group of around 100 city mayors. He told the UN Climate Ambition Summit last year that “new data” from C40 revealed that over 14 million green jobs have been created in 53 C40 cities alone. Of course there are those who understandably start counting the spoons whenever Khan starts talking about stats and data these days, so it is instructive to see what the Mayor’s own contribution in London is to this highly improbable jobs total. In 2020, he launched London’s Green New Deal fund with £10 million to “support” around 1,000 green jobs. Other ambitions include tackling the ‘climate emergency’ and addressing inequalities. The cynical might observe that this is a drop in the bucket for an economic stimulus, let alone stopping the climate changing and providing woke solutions to the ever-expanding list of victim causes. If there are any new job details provided they tend to feature insulating homes, which in the case of London’s drafty Victorian housing stock is likely to need billions of pounds rather than Khan’s paltry figure.
More details of Khan’s supposed green jobs can be gained by examining the funding that he has given to a number of skills hubs to prepare London for the expected tsunami of green opportunities. The hub lead is the Capital City College Group covering 12 London boroughs, and it says it will “focus on green occupations in the construction sector including roles in waste and recycling management, off-site manufacturing and pre-fabrication, gas engineers and heating/plumbing technicians and electric vehicle charging point installations”. None of these jobs are new except installing EV charging stations. This latter occupation is a displacement activity since a higher number of EVs on the road will lead to fewer jobs installing and maintaining petrol pumps and the delivery of fuel. Indeed it can be argued that much of the money collected for green activity is displacement since it removes genuine job-creating wealth from the private sector and pours it into vast subsidies and second-rate jobs in uneconomic, inferior technologies.
Back on Planet Reality, the threads are unravelling on the insane Net Zero project. Politicians, belatedly, are starting to realise that removing hydrocarbons from an advanced modern society will send humanity back to the caves, as explained by COP28 President Sultan Al-Jaber. Even the BBC has cottoned on with Laura Kuenssberg asking if, in the wake of the opposition Labour party ditching its £28 billion a year green commitment, “the politics of climate change [are] going out of fashion”?
The journalist Ross Clark has written an excellent review of the obvious retreat from Net Zero for Net Zero Watch, noting that the project was always going to require a multitude of new technologies, “many of which have yet to be invented or scaled up to commercial operation”. Already, he notes, many of the potential solutions such as hydrogen heating have started to fall by the wayside before they have been established. Reliance is being placed on an ever-smaller pool of technologies, and many of these, too, are creaking under the weight of expectation, such as wind and solar energy, he writes.
Net Zero might be starting to fall, but it seems there are still plenty of ‘charity’ jobs in the green economy. Or more accurately, activist work in operations funded by elite green billionaires intent on promoting a wealth and job destroying supra-national reset of global civilisation.

BREAKING: Study Finds SEVERE Allergic Reactions To COVID Vaccine Are 400% HIGHER Than Normal“A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Acta Médica Portuguesa has found the rate of anaphylactic shock in response to the COVID vaccines is 400% higher compared to the normal rate for vaccines. And in the case of the UK’s Oxford/Astra-Zeneca COVID vaccine, the rate is at least 1,000% higher than the normal level.
According to the study, the FDA’s data released since January 18, 2021 shows an allergic reaction rate of 4.7 anaphylactic shock reactions per million vaccinations for the Pfizer vaccine and 2.5 anaphylactic shock reactions per million for the Moderna vaccine. This is significantly higher than the average safety threshold of less than one reaction per million vaccinations. ”
This is published as “breaking news” but it appears the study has been around a while. That said, I don’t recall seeing it reported previously. Must have missed it. What with not watching the BBC, I suppose I missed their front page headline coverage..
I will admit that, for various reasons, I have been keeping an eye on the BBC’s coverage of this shambles, and I don’t recall any such story. I suppose that their view is that as this is a global emergency (or whatever) this is largely irrelevant. So two possibilities then. Either the all cause mortality data from Belarus up to March is wildly inaccurate – and likewise the “Covid” IFR data from places like Sweden and South Dakota (and Utah) -compared to other countries; or else, they are broadly accurate (or at least not significantly worse than other countries) and therefore the BBC is wrong to ignore this story and, notoriously, give coverage to someone who claims these “vaccines” are 100% safe. Is there anything to change my belief that there is no evidence of an emergency that would justify ignoring evidence of severe allergic reactions to an experimental “vaccine”?
“I suppose that their view is that as this is a global emergency (or whatever) this is largely irrelevant.” It’s been made clear to me by Michael Wendling that his view is that the public are not qualified to decide on the relative importance or validity of views. I imagine his view is fairly common. Wise Men and Women at the BBC need to filter the world to make sure nothing dangerous reaches us plebs.
This is hardly news at all. It was known from early days that these vaccines were more likely than most to lead to allergic reaction and anaphylaxis which is why you are asked about history of allergies before being vaccinated. In fact these estimates – 2.7 to 4.7 per million doses – are lower than many other estimates – this one had it as high as 250 per million. The risk remains very small and perhaps the key sentence is:
For all vaccines, no anaphylaxis-related deaths were reported.
The dead can’t report their own deaths and the jabbers, being those doing the killing, are unlikely to do so
The dead can’t report their own deaths and the jabbers, being those doing the killing, are unlikely to do so
It was a formal study – all the participants would have been monitored by the researchers to see what happened to them.
Outside the context of formal studies – very few people die without someone knowing – most people have friends, relatives or medical professionals attending them (other than the jabbers) who will report their deaths.
… but you are quite prepared to ignore the fact that any possible benefit from ‘vaccines’ is also ‘minute’ to ‘non-existant’.
I think you need to stop busting a gut to defend the indefensible (in terms of medical ethics) narrative. The angels are all on our side.
Obviously I don’t agree – it turns out to be surprisingly easy to refute much of what is written about vaccine here – no need to bust a gut. What is harder is to get people to read what I wrote – as opposed to what they think I wrote.
“it turns out to be surprisingly easy to refute much of what is written about vaccine here”
Why haven’t you managed it then?
My God, until now I have been polite in deference to your age ( am I only a bit younger ) – no longer; you have no fucking idea about which you spout.
The party line from the jab manufacturers is that unless you are allergic to something in the jab, it is “safe” – may be “true” from their POV – but otherwise is bollox.
An over primed immune system can suddenly react to anything, repeat anything for no apparent reason. Guess what this jab does; it over primes your immune system – in other words induces ADE, a fact of previous vaccines according to medics, virologists and vaccine developers. Studies are available so don’t bother to raise the “fact checker bollox as with Full Fact, you know the one ” we are independent” but “we take money from George Soros and the Esme Fairbairn Trust” and so on.
Not satisfied with the above over priming, these mRNA jabs are known to have killed people as a result of a cytokine storm; in layman’s language a massive immuno over reaction. The mRNA jab induces the production of a spike protein which is an antigen. Anaphylaxis is an acute Life threatening reaction to an antigen. Get the connection?
So if you are immuno compromised due to an existing anaphylaxis condition – like me – you might rightly fear some kind of aggressive immuno response both from the jab AND from a subsequent infection OF ANY TYPE that an overprimed immune system reacts to – lethally.
I asked a certain question of the Anaphylaxis Campaign; My request to the Anapyhlaxis Campaign got this response:
“Anapylaxis is not contraindicated according to page 30 of the “Green Book”.
The vaccines do not contain the proteins in the (my redaction) that trigger an IgE mediated reaction, therefore there would be no basis whatsoever to suspect that a COVID-19 vaccine could trigger (again my redaction) anaphylaxis. ”
This is over simplified and nowhere close to the findings of studies into SARS COV 2 “vaccines” and anaphylaxis.
But they won’t say – to my direct question – if they have had information from Pfizer that their pre EUA trials that it was tested on people with a history of Anaphylaxis – in other words no such tests were done. So that’s great, don’t take the jab if you are allergic to any component the jab; how the fucking hell can that be possible when these manufacturers have not to date revealed the entire suite??
AND YOU FUCKING DARE TO SAY:
“The risk remains very small and perhaps the key sentence is:
For all vaccines, no anaphylaxis-related deaths were reported.”
NO, THE RISK IS A DAILY RUSSIAN ROULETTE FOR ANYONE WHO IS JABBED – AS I AM – AND HAS A HISTORY OF ANAPHYLAXIS; CYTOKINE STORM OR ANAPHYLAXIS IT IS ALL THE SAME.
TY/DS: please check this guys email for his IP address – I am sure you know how to do that “enhanced” – if there is any hint of a non private address, do the needful.
It is quite clear that, as Charles Richet noted in his Nobel lecture on Anaphylaxis in 1913,
“In 1903 Arthus, in Lausanne, showed that a first intravenous injection of serum on a rabbit causes anaphylaxis, i.e. three weeks after the first injection the rabbit is hypersensitive to the second injection. The phenomenon of anaphylaxis was becoming of general application. Instead of applying only to toxins and toxalbumins, it held good for all proteins, whether toxic at the first injection or not.“
“Two years later Rosenau and Anderson, two American physiologists, demonstrated in a noteworthy piece of work that the phenomenon of anaphylaxis occurs after every injection of serum, even when the injection is minute, for example of 0.00001 ml which is an infinitely small amount but nevertheless sufficient to anaphylactize an animal. They quoted examples of anaphylaxis from all organic liquids: milk, serum, egg, muscle extract.“
A succession of jabs will grant you an allergy whether you had one previously, or not.
What makes it worse is that the genetically induced spike proteins will form complexes with ACE2 receptors that will generate autoantibodies against ACE2 which is found all over the body.
These antibodies are swiftly becoming non-neutralizing antibodies as the RNA based viruses mutate, engendering ADE.
Thank you; I am “not a scientist” but you summation matches parts of a peer reviewed study from scientists in BC Canada I have read – very dense. It is personally frightening that these jab manufacturers have conned governments to waive liability for their worthless toxic concoctions, to say nothing of the “Russian roulette” I mentioned. Of course it will not affect everybody, granted, but the fact of the high number deaths from cytokine storms, as wells the other adverse effects, should be enough to pull these dangerous concoctions.
MTF and a few others just don’t wish to acknowledge what is “blindingly bleedin obvious”.
It’s way worse than that. A study at Mass General Brigham (published in JAMA on march 8th 2021) reported a rate of 2.47 per 10000.
The SWPRS piece is a good and important read, in particular in conjunction with a proper, aka non MSM&co analysis of the recent autopsies performed in Germany.

“…the vital public health measure of vaccination…” writes josieappleton. An ironic choice of adjective, given the deaths the COVID shots are causing.
The Mises Wire one is a great article with plenty of valuable information.
In particular for Toby’s talk on Monday.
Much better and much more comprehensive than the headline and excerpt suggest- wrif.
As time ticks on it will not be long before it will be a year since some people had their Covid vaccinations. It makes me wonder how, having discovered the ‘weaponization of vaccination’ they are going to carry it forward? With the compulsory vaccination of care home workers in the UK, is there any time limit to this legislation? or is there some compulsory booster requirement?
They seem to have incorporated booster injections into the vax-pas system in Israel but in a country like the UK this will not be easy. The nightmare that is now the vaccination procedure for International travel will get worse and worse if they try an include boosters into the entry requirements.
As it seems to be acknowledged that these injections are time limited how long can this vax-pass business continue?
…as long as people continue to ‘offer’ their arms to be injected.
or as long as the meddlers keep their phoney baloney careers in government.
UnHerd is such a great site. We all knew Anders was right.
and yet he still pushes a lot of the same bullshit rather than sticking to the original plan (testing and contact tracing) and has clearly also been bought by the pharma industry with his line about the voodoo medicine saving the world.
… but wrong about the snake oil.
Mind you, many thought that it was excellent news when May was ousted. And yes, it was – but look what then happened!
I get frustrated reading these ‘Noway back to normal’ type articles (similar with Denmark the other day). In what way is this ‘normal’?:
From 4pm on 25 September, travellers from the UK without a valid QR coded NHS COVID Pass are required to stay in a suitable location e.g. hotel or home, for 10 days.
I would love to know the honest reasons for this. Sweden also had restrictions on people coming in despite having very few domestically. Is it a sop to the bedwetters in their own country? Or a sop to some sinister agenda? Or do they really believe it is necessary? I think Option 1 is most likely, but who can say?
Politics. Sweden , in the EU, allows EU/EEA visitors with antigen test within 72 hours. But not from UK because its outside EU/EEA at least until end of October.
Noway, outside EU, has more or less followed the UK model.
Its nothing to do with ‘health’, but all to do with politics, as are most of the restrictions.
For instance Panama started making US visitors quarantine for 10 days as soon as Biden WH made it clear that from November non-vaxed Panamanians would not be allowed in US. Tit for tat, its going on everywhere.
Now, now: you are not supposed to remember how the world used to be!
“Serious Group of Scientists Declare COVID-19 Vaccine Risks Too High to Ignore”
And as the mandatory update “BOOSTERS” become a key component of this NEW NORMAL… the adverse affects will multiply.
See where this leads to yet?
Sharing links that are behind bloody pay walls though! Ugh..what’s the point? And Trialsite News used to be a quality read. Can’t see the Denmark piece either.
Oops, I meant ‘Norway’.
Easy mistake to make.
Anyone else spot the ‘festival’ screened by the BBC last night, called Global Citizen Live? *shudders*

Quote:
so the same globalists who conspired over the past 18 months to throw millions more into extreme poverty now claim they want to end it?
Well I guess letting them all starve to death would mean they’re no longer counted as being poor.
Indeed. It’s clearly straight out of the Agenda 2030 playbook, the same goals – so-called “sustainable development”, “ending poverty”, it’s all Orwellian double-speak. They are pushing mass migration across vast distances, there’s nothing sustainable or environmentally friendly about that either.
They’re ending ‘extreme poverty’, but if everyone is poor to an equal degree, then they can drop the word extreme can’t they.
Well, Live Aid hasn’t done much to relieve Ethiopian poverty. It did however fund quite a lot of armaments for rebel groups.
Their aim was simply to feed the starving in one country, but these days any publicity has to have global intent which will present opportunities to a much wider range of despots.
We see during the weeks of winter, that there is a significantly greater number of total deaths in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. This trend continues and is more pronounced in the period up to July as overall deaths decline due to the roll out of spring and summer.
This gives the lie to the effectiveness of the vaccine as the talking heads disingenuously stated that most cases in the hospital for this period were unvaccinated. Most of the population had been unvaccinated at this time and of course this would be the case. The lie fails to hide the deaths due to vaccination however.
Note how keeping all eyes on delta, makes it appear that there is little difference between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. As we shall see, this is due to the distorted testing protocols for covid 19 heavily weighted against unvaccinated patients and the use of the fraudulent 40+ PCR cycle thresholds.
Week 18 corresponds with the date of April 15th where >50% of adults have received the first dose.
At this point we see total unvaccinated deaths at 4 per 100,000
And total vaccinated deaths at 27 per 100,000
Therefore, there is a 675% difference in vaccinated deaths versus unvaccinated deaths when just over 50% of population had received the first dose. It’s age standardized, so it gives a fair indication that vaccines are causing the excess deaths which occur around the beginning of June.
As autumn and winter encroach, we await with trepidation the ONS data for the 2nd half of the year.

Dr Cahill’s main prediction was that it would be after several months, a year, or several years that the truly adverse events would occur. They would be due to the immune super priming, the setting up of auto-immune disease and cytokine storms as outlined above in this article. The mRNA in the body would express the viral protein, and the immune system would see antigens in the body’s own cells and organs and attack them. The binding antibodies induced would then enhance the entry of the wild virus and other common viruses into the cells and trigger further immunopathology. Those with co-morbidities would have exhausted cells and be unable to resist the onset of organ failure, sepsis, and death.

Israel last month: 20% of population unvaccinated
Israel today: 65% of population unvaccinated
After definition of vaccinated was changed to 3 shots.

LOL!
(Not sure what the situation is here – probably depends whose definition and for what purpose. Comments suggest variously that the definition is actually “vaccinated in last 6 months, or that they decided not to change the definition.)
But the underlying point remains – “vaccinated” status for totalitarian control purposes will always be a mobile goalpost, at the regime’s discretion.
Australia – a free and liberal democracy.
