Social media is abuzz with the observation that, though the Government has cancelled the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners, nearly £12 billion has been found for international ‘climate aid’. (And that may be just one of many reasons why the Government is so keen to censor social media.) The critics are right: despite finding a £22 billion “black hole” in the country’s finances, the new Government is committed to spending money it does not have on things that do not serve our needs, and which we did not vote for.
For many years, the fact that global warming is not “the biggest problem facing mankind” has been staring governments in the face. The far greater problem for Britain’s senior population is the winter – climate as usual, not climate change. Before Covid, the Government’s grim ‘Excess Winter Deaths’ (EWD) statistic reflected, in large part, Britain’s capacity to look after its elderly. Between the 1950s and 1990s, excess winter deaths fell by two thirds. Then, as energy prices rose, they began to increase again. The chaos of Covid will conceal this metric of indifference for some time to come. (Which is why the following chart stops in 2019.)

Is equity what they want? I thought it was the elimination of melanin-deficient skin in toto. And Y chromosomes that belong to people that identify as male.
I thought they were there to learn about data science not nobs and knockers!
I do despair really. Trying to redpill young* intelligent people is such hard work – they just want to get on with their lives and pretend all this mad, evil stuff isn’t going on because it’s too horrible to contemplate. They just hope it will all go away of its own accord. But it won’t.
*I have limited energy and the young are the future.
And what about when the fighting starts?
Indeed. I kind of thought that “covid” would have woken more people up than it did as it was so obviously a complete scam, but it’s been memory-holed.
This did make me laugh!
This is the Met police aiming to meet their DEI quota back in the 1930s. I have a feeling the definition of ”hefty” ( not to mention, ”fairly good looking”, LOL ) has changed somewhat since those days. Doubt there were many ‘Lesbian Nanas’ floating about either…

Priceless
I just told the wife about having to be hefty, I just mentioned she could have joined!
I’m still mopping my blood off the ceiling
My grandmother was a teacher in the 1920s and when she and my grandfather married she had to give up work – maybe that was the law then, it was certainly the rule in the teaching profession.
Diversity is the 21st century word for discrimination.
Substitute diversity for discrimination and the meaning of the sentence immediately.
No doubt they will all be white male scientists. ——–The destruction of the west continues via the 5 main agendas —-Equality Diversity Race Gender and Climate.
It no longer matters as one of the males could wear a dress, buy some Tampax and claim to be a woman to ‘even’ up the statistics.
funny but true
“Four new scientists, including experts from UCL and Imperial College London, were hired to help lead those efforts.”
UCL and Imperial. These four new blokes are bloody plants for Billy’s mob.
That is the story in a nutshell.
Give qualifications to an AI machine and let it decide. May the best scientist win.
Were the men the best candidates for the job? If they were, then what’s the problem.
All these DIE targets are destroying Britain socially and economically. Cut it out and grow up.
