“North Sea oil workers cannot be sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero,” the Unite union has told Labour as it launches a campaign against the party’s “irresponsible” green agenda. Ross Clark in the Spectator has more.
In a move which has been remarkably underreported in England, the union Unite has launched a campaign against Labour’s policy of refusing licences for new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.
The campaign, called ‘No ban without a plan’, demands that Labour suspends the policy. If successful, it means a future Labour Government would continue, like the Conservatives, to grant new licences, until it has come up with a plan to create at least 35,000 new ‘energy transition jobs’ in Scotland – equivalent to the current roles held by oil workers. The union’s General Secretary Sharon Graham has accused Keir Starmer of following a policy which would allow Britain to “be held to ransom by Saudi Arabia or other nations” and adds:
“Labour needs to pull back from this irresponsible policy. There is clearly no viable plan for the replacement of North Sea jobs or energy security… Unite will not stand by and let workers be thrown on the scrapheap. North Sea workers cannot be sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero.”

“Labour’s ‘menopause action plan’ is an insult to women”
No end to the leftie habit of singling out groups and plying them with extra cash and help in poorly thought out ‘policies’.? I thought not.
And another point – for those ‘women’ who have a penis and therfore no ovaries how are they to be compensated when denied their “menopausal” rights?
Exactomundo, HP!
Scrabbling around on the floor trying to come up with vote catching ideas. They are morally and creatively bankrupt in the ideas department. They need to get back to basics – defending worker’s rights, improving education, rehoming the homeless, creating meaningful jobs, investing in British skills and jobs, getting money out of politics, defending our borders and so on.
“Scrabbling around on the floor”
Sadly what follows Aethelred is a wish list of impossibilities. In fact if you presented this list to most Labour MP’s they would be astonished if they were told this is what they stood for.
Quite right, HP. Especially when their Great Leader says he would rather conduct business in Davos than Westminster. That says all you need to know.
“China should pay reparations if Covid leaked from a lab”
Yawn. We guessed, correctly, that this is what happened before the end of 2020. Can we get some reparations from Pfizer, the media and all the government officials who have lined their pockets too…
I’ve always been torn between thinking that the whole origin debate is a distraction and thinking that we need to know the truth. I’ve still not really come to a firm view. At every stage the easy way out to just bash China/the CCP needs to be resisted (not that I am a fan of theirs). The USA surely knows what happened and was involved in some way in the cover-up, decisions about how to react to covid, and quite possibly sponsored the research in the first place. They are meant to be our “allies” (lol).
To be honest, I couldn’t care less. The truth is out there but maybe we’ll never know. It definitely wasn’t a ‘wet market’ and since the virus lab was in the same city where the virus sprang from…we can just join up the dots. We can ‘feel’ or intuit the truth and not listen to the pundits and the ‘experts’ any longer because it’s a waste of precious time. It’s so boring. We have bigger fish to fry involving our freedoms rather than endlessly looking for needles in haystacks. China will never admit anything nor will they pay. As far as I am concerned, it’s a cul-de-sac.
Your case is strong. But if it
emerges we’ve been egregiously lied to it might wake a few more people up and waking people up is what we need to do
Well it certainly looks like population growth has gone into reverse, according to Drs Nass and Huber in this interesting ‘stack, with only 8 of the world’s countries shown at above replacement level.
”Fertility rates are calculated as number of children per woman. Replacement value is greater than 2.0. This equals the sum of the exact 2.0 people (needed to replace the mortal parenting couple), plus an added margin, due to child mortality (those children who did not survive to their own reproductive age). Even a fertility rate of exactly 2.0 therefore results in population reduction. A 2.1 fertility rate is estimated to result in an overall stable population level.
The fertility rate needed for a stable population level is predicated on other assumptions. The OECD assumption of that number being 2.1 holds that deaths remain at a constant rate. But there is no assurance of such constant mortality in our new ‘died suddenly’ environment, at least not here in the heavily COVID-vaccinated countries of the northern hemisphere, everywhere except Africa really.”

OK, you need to read this, as it’s so stark bollocking crazy it’s bound to be true! The UN have just published a report on how they can restrict sunlight and darken the skies. Because climate change.
”The UN is worried about climate change. As the efforts to reduce CO2 emissions are faltering, the UN is looking for more ways to cool our planet. The UNEP’s report details ideas called “Solar Radiation Modification,” the gist of which is to reflect sunlight and prevent it from heating the surface of our planet.
Here are the main ideas that the UN will consider:
The UN explains that should the “global stakeholders” decide to proceed, the skies could be darkened within only a few years:
SRM is the only option that could cool the planet within years. To be effective at limiting global warming, SRM would need to be maintained for several decades to centuries, depending on the pace of emissions reductions and carbon removal.”

What could possibly go wrong!!!
as soon as mankind tries to fix something thats not broken!
I’m going to get myself a big overcoat and snow boots because an ice age is coming!
Oh Mogs….”Injecting reflective nanoparticles” and “seeding ocean clouds with submicron salt particles” – what is it with their obsession about injecting and seeding and nano or submicron particles? Such a badly thought out concept even I, as a non-scientist, can see the massive flaws in such whatthefuckery. Playing around with the materials of creation and life as if they knew what they were doing, all based on modelling no doubt and ambitious scientists drinking too much coffee and thinking they’re in a movie starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. No, it doesn’t do it for me. They’ll f**k it up and then there’ll be another plan to move the Earth closer to the Sun using nuclear bombs as rockets or some such off-the-scale idiocy.
And just who are their global stakeholders? Oh, they’ll be the same bunch of shysters who always turn up for such nonsense. Can they just do this without our say so? I mean the UN is an unelected body but with representation from each country’s government so in that case they can claim they are doing it in the name of the electorate of each country but they are still unelected.
No, such plans must be scotch egged as soon as they are about to hatch. We’ve seen several ideas about stopping our life giving sun shining down on our blessed land. One of the maddest was the WEF’s giant space balloons. I think there have been others too. The best thing is to get some scientists into the room to calmly talk to so-called world leaders about the fact that there is no climate crisis and that the climate is always changing anyway. Curdled the cream reading that nonsense!
I just wish these psychopathic megolamaniacs could be cryogenically frozen and then blasted into space, never to return to planet Earth again. There appears to be no limitation to their power-hungry madness based on arrogance and control. The only thing polluting our world that is of imminent threat are these dangerous numbskulls!
Impossible to disagree Mogs.
100% agree, Mogs. THEY are the real threat to humanity. The rest of us just want to live in peace and harmony.
Might I suggest that a bullet in the skull might be a better use of taxpayers’ money?
Blocking out the sun seems to be even more stupid than ever as there is evidence that we’re approaching a period of global cooling…. Some events which are happening or predicted which are completely outwith anyone’s control as shared yesterday by a fellow member of MD4CE group as the cabal’s depopulation agenda is to reduce competition for resources when the poles finally flip. Magnetic North Pole is somewhere in Siberia with the South Pole having left Antarctica. The Northern Lights are especially spectacular due to solar activity, the shift in polarity & the decreasing magnetic field.
A period of global cooling is predicted which will have huge implications for crops, meat & dairy production even in Southern Europe.
The take home message is that we can’t do anything about these natural occurrences so just enjoy life & appreciate what we have whilst still pushing back with civil disobedience to prevent the cabal implementing their technocratic tyranny:
Betelgeuse nova-like blink
Climate change on all planets
Unusual solar activity
Maunder Minimum predicted
Magnetic poles shifting
Magnetic field dropping
Acceleration of above
Earth’s wobble increasing
Earth’s day speeding up
Earth’s molten core stopping
Because of the above, the cabal took or are taking the following actions to ensure control of us useless eaters & ensure that they have priority access to depleted resources:
Billionaires building rockets
Billionaires building bunkers
Territory and resource grabs
Proxy wars
“Climate Change”
2020 “plandemic”
Lockdowns
Spike protein bioweapon
Mandatory vaccination
15/20 minute cities
Climate lockdowns
Vaccine passports

I wonder if the air conditioning systems in the billionaires’ bunkers will somehow mysteriously fail after they’ve obliterated life on earth…I mean it would be a terrible thing but those pesky ac units are always going on the blink…

This is only a small story, but it needs to happen everywhere, with every women’s team…..this is one of those times when no one is coming to save us, and we have to do it for ourselves..or at least for the girls of the future….
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/vermont-girls-basketball-teams-forfeits-state-tournament-game-due-to-trans-player-on-opposing-team/
Christian girl’s basketball team in Vermont recently withdrew from Vermont’s division IV basketball tournament due to a transgender (biological male) being on the opposing team.
MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg told Valley News “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.”
Fogg would go on to share “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

Worth a read.
Many commentators are criticising Fishy’s naming of the latest EU stich up deal the “Windsor Agreement” on the grounds that this is a self-aggrandising title at odds with the facts I.e another sell-out. Personally I see nothing wrong in the traitor Charlie Windsor lending his name to another piece of treachery.
Perfectly appropriate and adequately reflecting the situation.
We’re not only still in thrall to EU legislation, we’ve lost much of what was actually good in terms of freedom of movement and the right to settle. Brexit was a nonsense vote to make people believe that they had some power while secretly they were shafted, impoverished and shackled.
I am now almost wholly convinced Aethelred that the Brexit vote and following on from the Trump vote precipitated the current Scamdemic. TPTB crapped themselves on seeing these two enormous votes of public disaffection with the current system and so before the plebs became even more strident and independent of thought decided to implement their Technocratic Revolution.
one rant, then I’m done…..!
I personally have a problem with the story ATL, which is just the usual fact-lite, Western Propaganda….pretending to be some kind of analysis..and tells us nothing new….
‘Don’t be fooled China wants Russian victory in Ukraine’…..
It’s written by someone who obviously believes and starts from the premise that the US/NATO are right, entirely…and therefore Russia is entirely wrong. It’s depressing having to read these stories from supposed commentators who appear totally politically naive, and don’t feel the need to have any actual facts, or any need to talk about America’s historical interference in Ukraine, nor any of the history of the conflict…they also memory hole anything ‘iffy’ about Ukraine and its President..
There is a serious lack of any political ‘nous’…..
Which country has attacked more ‘sovereign’ countries, both legally and illegally in the last 40 years? Which country has been the cause of more regime changes, and fomented more protests and troubles than any other? Which country is arming Ukraine and Taiwan with trillions of dollars worth of weapons of destruction…then with astounding hypocrisy tells other countries they can’t do the same?
Which country is still illegally occupying Syrian oils fields, looting their oil? (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/02/10/wppv-f10.html)
Which country applies the most sanctions (economic terrorism) and by a wide margin?
Clue…..it’s not China….
China….the one country at the Munich Defence Conference that put forward a peace plan for Ukraine…the ONLY one….
The real headline should read….’Don’t be fooled the USA, under the guise of NATO, wants to entirely destroy Russia, then China, and remain as the sole rulers of the entire world, as is our right and manifest destiny’…..
Maybe some of the commentators should apply their pathetic crack-observational powers to that?
Fabulous words and epic rant, Gums! I’m right there with everything you say. I’m so fed up being spun lies about democracy and the ‘free world’. The US state is the world’s Number One terrorist organisation, a gangster state ruled over by the Pentagon, the CIA and the NSA. I am not blinkered to the fact that China and Russia to an extent can and do treat their civilian populations as indentured serfs but the sheer bloody dishonesty and hypocrisy of the ‘west’ is staggering. The Ukraine War is nothing but an attempt at regime change in Russia while laundering money and making billions. I am sorry for what ordinary Ukrainian citizens have had to go through because of their corrupt clown leader and his minions and Nazi affiliates.
I’m not naive enough to think that Russia and China haven’t got their own agenda, but I am not Russian or Chinese, and I don’t feel that I have any say over their actions, whereas the countries representing me are even worse..and I do feel the need to say something about that!….
I think the neo-cons in America have truly gone off their rockers in regards to both Russia and China..that’s clearly evidenced by the anti-China rhetoric in the round up here and in the MSM generally. Which is now on steroids!
Even Ed Dowd, who generally doesn’t do politics, put on his Twitter yesterday…
”War is the only narrative big enough to justify higher inflation for longer to monetize the debt therefore we will have war.”
America is currently having military flights through the Straits of Taiwan, anyone so stupidly naive as to think this isn’t a massive provocation to China is quite frankly an idiot…
I only hope that China acts like the rational adult, we should all hope…..

Kit Knightly putting a large torpedo through the lab-leak boat – nice pun. Funnily enough not dissimilar to my post within the last couple of days.
The whole C1984 story is BS. Lab-leak? Who cares? Re-,branded’ ‘ flu – more than likely.
I definitely beat Mrs Gums Mogs. Definitely. I’m 100% sure. Sure ish.
Jinx!! LOL!,,,,
In a non-clown world, the Lindzen Happer paper would te a gamechanger/stopper.
Published on the same day the German Economy Destruction Minister announced technologically often infeasible draconian plans to bankrupt homeowners UK Net Zero-style.
This maths Professor basically says the same as Lindzen Happer in a more digestive manner. Worth translating.

A good article JB, I could quote a few things but these two really echo the times…
Firstly the seriously bogus types of ‘people’ who are pushing these agendas …
“Steurer is not just any professor, but a professor of climate policy, not for climate research, not for climate physics, but for climate policy…which is why he has been dealing.. “for many years with the political dimension of the climate crisis in general and with the political significance of excuses and bogus climate protection in all areas of society in particular”.. Yes, you have to understand the man, after all you shouldn’t simply cast doubt on the climate panic, otherwise every basis for his professorship would vanish into thin air, and surely nobody wants to expect that from him.”
and….from the article’s author….
”We need to panic, however, not because the ground is going to burn out from under us, but because a model-based ideology has been able to become the dominant religion, wreaking havoc on people’s lives and their usually modest wealth.”
It’s like Convid deja vu…….

Confirmation of what we on here knew all along. And just as in the USA hospitals were being paid money for each covid death reported. Or rather hospitals were receiving bonuses from taxpayers for each C1984 death reported. No wonder we had some excess deaths.
