Earlier this month the Met Office declared the hottest day of the year so far in the U.K. with the temperature reaching 34.8ºC in Cambridge. The Met Office claimed it was only the eleventh time since 1961 that the temperature had reached that level, with six of these occasions having been recorded in the last 10 years. Needless to say, missing from the account was a note that the station in Cambridge’s National Institute for Agricultural Botany (NIAB) is located just metres from a massive heat-generating electricity sub-station complex.
Electricity sub-stations give off so much heat into the surrounding atmosphere there are even plans to trap it for commercial use. The Cambridge station at Histon has recently benefitted from a £5 million upgrade including the installation of a third heat-pumping transformer. It is difficult to think of a worse place to locate an instrument to accurately measure nearby uncorrupted air temperatures, other than favoured Met sites at international airports and solar farms.
Cambridge NIAB crops up regularly in the Met Office’s local daily ‘records’. Last year it claimed a recording at this site was the highest measured in the eastern region during September since 1949. The World Meteorological Office (WMO) rates Met Office sites from class 1 to 5 and Cambridge NIAB is said to have a pristine class 1 designation with no temperature ‘uncertainties’ due to local natural and unnatural influences. But how reliable is this superior rating? The view from Google Earth suggests that questions about its validity can legitimately be asked.
WMO guidelines state that any heat source in class 1 sites must be at least 100 metres away. But the google map above suggests that 100m is a very generous distance between the Histon grid and the red Met station marker. An even nearer straight line path or road might also not be considered helpful in taking an uncorrupted measurement. Recent expansion at Histon has added a third heat-pumping transformer to help increase capacity.
Electricity sub-stations release huge amounts of heat into the nearby surroundings. There have even been plans to capture the output from these ‘boilers’ for commercial use. In 2021, SSE Energy Solutions and the National Grid unveiled plans to use the heat generated to produce hot water and space heating for domestic and industrial premises. As Nathan Sanders, managing director at SSE, noted: “Electric power transformers generate huge amounts of heat as a by-product when electricity flows through them. At the moment, this heat is just vented directly into the atmosphere and wasted.”
Not entirely wasted, the cynical might observe. It serves to boost temperatures – highly useful for spreading political Net Zero panic and alarm – across the entire U.K. Met Office measuring network. As regular readers will know, this network is composed of largely junk stations in class 4 with WMO ‘uncertainties’ of 2ºC, and super-junk class 5 with possible errors up to 5ºC. Almost eight in 10 stations across the 380-strong network are labelled class 4 and 5. Many of these stations, such as the urban heat furnace that is Heathrow airport, produce regular daily ‘records’. Incredibly, the overall data is used by the Met to claim it can measure air temperature across the four countries of the U.K. down to one hundredth of a degree centigrade.
The Daily Sceptic is obliged to citizen journalist Ray Sanders for drawing our attention to the obvious corruptions at Cambridge NIAB. Ray is a frequent contributor to Paul Homewood’s blog, an excellent online publication that has long drawn attention to the obvious and widespread problems at the Met Office sites. Earlier this year, the Daily Sceptic broke the story that revealed most of the stations are junk following a freedom of information request. Interest in this scientific scandal is now widespread on social media, but it remains of little concern to mainstream media. Most writers captured by the lazy Net Zero narrative continue to tout the heat corrupted figures and ‘records’. To date, the Met Office has failed to respond to the growing critical interest in its obviously flawed temperature readings.
Heat corruptions caused by electricity sub-stations can be found at other locations used by the Met Office. Ray has also drawn our attention to the ‘notorious’ Bingley No 2 site, in use since 1972.
Again, it is just metres away from a major city sub-station. Unsurprisingly, in this case it has a class 4 junk designation.
The final meteorological horror show can be seen at Amersham where temperatures at this class 4 site are again taken just a few metres away from the area’s main sub-station. This site is a new one, having been established in 2015. It begs the question why the Met Office continues to locate scientific measuring stations in such unsuitable places. Another recent FOI request has revealed that over eight out of 10 of the 113 stations opened in the last 30 years are in classes 4 and 5. Worse, 81% of the stations started in the last 10 years, including Amersham, are junk, as are eight of the 13 new sites in the last five years.

“New TV series to finally reveal the shocking racism of Colditz’s British officers”
They’ll be telling us that the war-time prisoners were racist towards Germans next. Pointless and divisive, and probably as wide of the mark as believing that the original TV series was a documentary and not a work of fiction based on actuality. Enough with the retrospective character assassinations.
I can thoroughly recommend Ben MacIntyre’s book, which was very well resarched and readable, but you’re probably right in anticipating that the BBC will find ways to focus the narrative on Brexit, Climate Change, and Trans rights!
MacIntyre didn’t have to do a great deal of digging to discover that Pat Reid’s “The Colditz Story” was akin to a Mills and Boon version of history. Examples that he provided covered the disgraceful treatment of the British officers’ personal servants (“batmen”), and the way the British officers shunned and ostracised Birendranath Mazumdar, the brave Indian doctor who had been captured when tending the wounded in France in 1940. (Ultimately, Dr Mazumdar engineered a transfer to another camp, from which he escaped to Switzerland in 1943.)
Yes, I’m a big fan of his books. Given David Stirling was imprisoned in Colditz, this will work as a nice companion piece to SAS: Rogue Heroes, a bit like A Spy Among Friends and The Spy and the Traitor are companions.
All part of the playbook: cast doubt on one’s history, culture, gender, health and keep going until you have a society that doesn’t know itself, with deep divisions and mistrust and hate being the norm. Then give them a new identity and construct a new subservient society who own nothing, who know nothing and want nothing and are happy. Yes, Neil, they’ll be telling us next that the Nazis were misunderstood health fanatics who liked smart uniforms.
Destroy our society and our culture and then “build back better” eh Aethelred?
Exactomundo, HP!
Depends on how well the book is adapted. Ben McIntyre’s books are unfailingly well researched enjoyable. Look at any prison – particularly think about US dramas where this is shown – and you frequently find the population breaks up into factions, many of which can be murderously hostile to one another. It is any surprise that such divisions existed in a wartime prison? The BBC will perhaps turn it into some sort of left wing, anti-white, anti-middle class screed, but it’s highly likely such factions existed and the inmates weren’t unfailingly courteous to one another. What will perhaps be misreported is that it’s less ‘racism’ than standard factions that exist in any prison population.
My copy of Colditz arrived a few days ago and I can’t wait to start it. I’ve read A Spy Among Friends, The Spy and the Traitor, SAS: Rogue Heroes and Agent Zigzag. They are superb books and very well balanced. I’ve not seen the TV shows, because I rarely watch TV (I work in audiovisual media, so you can’t expect me to want to engage with it in my time off! :D) I doubt McIntyre has suddenly gone over to the Dark Side, because he’d lose too many of his readers!!
“Cambridge challenges nationalist myths, denies existence of Anglo-Saxons” –
It would appear to me that the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, have just made themselves redundant. Collect you personal possessions, and bon voyage.!
Mmm…the destruction of history continues apace and there I was thinking that a lot of intelligent thinking went on in those hallowed halls of learning. I wonder if that includes all the descendants of these races what with their DNA etc? Was the reality that we were mainly Asians and probably many LGBTQ+? It’s a miracle that we’re actually here!
“Sunak blocking release of text messages in Covid inquiry”
I bet he is. I like Boris, as a dinner guest, not as a Prime Minister. He’s not the guy to take being hung out to dry lightly. None of them have clean hands (..and i’ll include the so called ‘opposition’.)
Bozo is calling Fishy’s bluff. I wonder what level of interference the WEF handlers have in all this?
Are the “WEF handlers” not handling Bozo too?
I thought that was the general opinion of people who believe that the WEF are controlling everything, that they control all the top politicians, not just some, is that not so?
Johnson flunked the WEF indoctrination school, allegedly!! Probably too busy shagging. His entire life seems to be controlled by his nads, hence his ultra-woke wife turned him into an eco-loon.
Despite English not being his first language, Dr Thomas Binder sure has a way with words, haha! Nails it though.
”As a doctor, I think the most embarrassing in the corona crime is that almost all doctors shit their pants because of incredibly easy-to-see-through tall stories notoriously served up by pitifully embarrassing narcissistic urban idiots in academia, politics, media, and showbiz.”

An interesting article about a new study and some wise words from Dr Marty Makary regarding natural immunity. One thing I would say though is that the presence of antibodies in the blood as a result of the injections doesn’t count as ”protection against Covid-19”, as can be shown by all of the emerging evidence we’ve seen that demonstrates the vaxxed get more recurring infections, generally get sicker and get hospitalized and die more than the unvaxxed, due to the fact the vax has immunosuppressing effects, as well as being non-sterilizing. We also see evidence of this playing out all around us, I know I have. And isn’t it what Dr Bhakdi has been banging on about since the start? What good are vax-generated antibodies in one’s bloodstream when the respiratory virus enters via the upper airways? It’s why natural immunity will always reign supreme.
”The new CDC study analyzed blood donations from 142,748 individuals aged 16 and older between July and September 2022. The researchers found that 96.4 percent of the donors had evidence of antibodies against COVID-19, indicating prior infection, vaccination, or both.
Comparing the data to earlier periods, the study revealed an increase in the percentage of people with antibodies. The figure rose from 93.5 percent during January to March 2022 and 68.4 percent in mid-2021. Of those with antibodies, approximately 26 percent had antibodies solely from vaccination, 22.6 percent had antibodies solely from prior infection, and 47.7 percent had antibodies from both vaccination and prior infection.
The study also noted that infection-induced immunity was more prevalent among the unvaccinated individuals in the cohort. The presence of antibodies, whether acquired through infection or vaccination, likely contributes to lower rates of severe disease and death from COVID-19 compared to the early stages of the pandemic.”

Love this!
The comments beneath are gold too. There’s hope yet!
”Dear Covidians – look, we get it. You bought the lie hook, line, and sinker and it’s hard to accept you were bamboozled. You social distanced for no reason, masked up for no reason, cut off friends and family for no reason. Told them they were murderers who’d die on ventilators for no reason. You willingly injected an extremely questionable untested chemical into your body numerous times in exchange for free donuts and french fries so you could feel like a hero, and you ended up with Covid again anyway. All the while, the people you shamed and blamed are hanging out just as healthy as they were pre-2020. I’d be embarrassed too, but you need to stop this. You need to come to terms with what you took part in. The jig is up and you know it. Stop lying to yourself. You don’t have to keep doubling down. It’s over. Take off the mask. Tell your friends and family you’re sorry. And for the love of God, stop injecting yourself with that poison. It’s over.”

Maybe it isn’t over, take a look at this obscure but worrying blog post ….
https://www.rintrah.nl/evolution-towards-increased-interferon-suppression/
Yeah I think the above guy is referring more to the charade being over. ”The jig is up..”. Must be American, I’ve always said ”gig”…Anyway, I understood his post as meaning the majority of people, whether they care to admit it or not, because they were daft enough to be fooled, have woken up and beheld the Emperor is stark bollock naked. Read your link. I’m still more concerned about the very real and looming threat which is the WHO power grab over one of a gazillion viruses floating around us constantly tbh. Perhaps this would be more of a legitimate concern for the vaxxed peeps, although they can’t turn back the clock. I try not to worry though as chronic stress is also not good for one’s immune system.
That is an excellent and highly plausible case that is made and the logic is sound enough for me.
A shame about the final two paragraphs.
I think we’ll get a lot of tumbleweed blowing around in a deserted desert town with a door repeatedly banging and an old windmill creaking away type situation. I came across something the other day which sort of stated that if you have lived according to lies, then lies are your truth no matter what you are presented with. Like some comments sad, ‘They will take it to the grave’ – and sadly it will probably be an early one. Some may indeed wake up to this and get angry and bitter, especially if they are now having health problems. It’s just so goddamn awful what has been perpetrated against ordinary human beings, our friends and relations.
There is at least 1 funeral per week at the village church, there is a similar number at the local crem. The kill protocol is working just fine here…
For comparison in 2020 when we should have been running out of room in the graveyard, nothing untoward in terms of funerals…
The deaths have really accelerated this year, as has the number of cancer diagnoses & cardiac/stroke diagnoses…
It is so sad as too many good individuals have died because of the tyranny, terrorism & psychological torture wreaked upon them by the government.
The lead time in our neck of the woods is now six weeks between death and crematorium.
I don’t know what the crem lead time is. A lot of the funerals at the church are burials.
So in Mandy Cohen America has once again employed a complete Air Head who has no self awareness whatsoever , she will fit in a treat !!
She’s a total nobhead. And I use that insult in the most gender-fluid, non-binary way possible.
Steve Kirsch will be having kittens! Another useless, conniving idiot to have to deal with.

Taxes, taxes and more flaming taxes imposed on most anyone and anything, practically from birth to death. IHT is a final insult and should be scrapped.
Did Big Ears pay IHT when his mother died, I wonder?
Don’t be daft! It’s all wrapped up in a private trust to ensure that no wealth is lost.
Hmm, keeping it in the family and the government can keep its thieving mitts off it. Interesting.
All the richest in the world use this entirely lawful vehicle to protect their assets from the state. All the property is owned by the Trust not the individual so the individual cannot be taxed as they don’t own anything….
Nice little work around if you can afford to do so…
A bit late commenting on yesterday’s post of Matt Walsh’s ‘What is a Woman’ doc but just watched the last half hour this morning. I have to say that it is incredibly disturbing what they are doing to our kids: affirming therapy, hormones (+ puberty blockers); surgery. Once ‘bits’ are gone, they’re gone and later, when the kid, now an adult, changes their mind, they can’t. Too late. They are then caught in a miserable state where, if originally female, they can’t have kids. If originally a male, they can at least freeze their sperm if indeed they have any. There are all these ‘enablers’ who are also caught up in this horrific and, dare I say, demonic movement that seems to make it very easy for a child to do this transition. Transition not to an actual man or woman but a bad copy of one and forever damaged. Trans people, because there are so many social media groups, feel empowered by their frankly insane decisions. Anyway, I thoroughly recommend a viewing if you can still see it here: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1664609193230204929?s=43
I watched it too! Would highly recommend it. One of the most shameful parts for me is that he stopped women on the street and they couldn’t even answer what a woman was!
They just stood there in gormless silence. The world is fooked if this is the level of intellect and understanding people have. I was also really shocked at some of the doctors and what they were saying. I don’t want to go into it too much because I’ll end up dropping spoilers but did you not look at many of these people he was interviewing and start wondering, ”Have they actually transitioned to the opposite sex?”. I felt that, aside from the ones that we knew about, nearly everybody ( that blue haired paediatrician, for e.g ) seemed to be the opposite of what they were shown to be. My faves were the lady psychiatrist with the glasses, because she told it like it is, and the Star Wars shop owner. He was class!! LOL 
Agree, Mogs. The level of denial and ignorance was off the wall. I liked the lady psychiatrist too and Jordan Peterson and yes that Star Wars Shop guy. The last scene was actually very moving and so simple.
Agreed – I loved the last scene and likewise found it moving.
Thanks for posting the link. I’ve just watched and enjoyed the video. It is ironic that so many women can’t answer the question ‘what is a woman?’
[My emphasis]. ‘Long-held values” – what, you mean the biological imperative of stating the bleedin’ obvious that women don’t have d*cks?
I will no longer give Brendan O’Neill the time of day after his disgusting article declaring that Care Home workers should be mandated to take the C1984 injections.
Unforgivable – and its not as if he has come out subsequently to ask for forgiveness. Next Tuesday!

Please have a read. This suggestion has some merit despite Chuckles being decidedly well blessed in the stupidity / evil department.
31 ‘animal raisin’ pipsqueaks arrested……..
I can’t write any further….the ribs……
The two nice coffee shop owners in Plymouth, supported by this site, made the front page of the Plymouth Herald yesterday, having paid off the disgusting fines they were charged.
The Herald, which was part of the media organisation that went after them like flies on dogshit and ratted them out to the council and police, mentioned the Daily Sceptic in their article, accusing it of promoting COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and climate change denial.
I will never buy the Herald again after what they did – I’m speaking as someone who did his early work experience there in the 1990s! What they did wasn’t finding a story: they created a story and nearly got two decent people put in prison. People fined under COVID-19 regulations should have all their money refunded.
Agreed. I’m glad they raised enough to cover the fine. Perhaps Carl Eve, Crime Reporter, can go back to reporting about crime.
