“After all these years, alternatives are finding ways to stand on their own”
So now, when they need a giant crane for repairs and maintenance or when they come to the end of there productive lives, they will be repaired and manufactured using only electrically powered heavy equipment? all running on the electric it produced during its life?
All the mining and smelting and concrete production processes will all by powered by the windmills own power production?
Impossible! This guy is a dreaming twat
It is time to end all talk of “communities”.
Thatcher might have said “there is no such thing as communities, just people – families, neighbours, friends, employers/employees, customers “.
Categorising people according to arbitrary and frequently self serving characteristics and treating them accordingly is a terrible mistake and will destroy our nation.
”Categorising people according to arbitrary and frequently self serving characteristics and treating them accordingly is a terrible mistake and will destroy our nation.”
But isn’t that what so many on here advocate on the regular? They oppose multiculturalism but are also against a multiracial society. They just want to live amongst and mingle with other white people, regardless of political leanings or any other significant differences ( e.g: Socialists, Communists etc ), just so long as they’re white. They regularly disparage people who don’t look like them and have an unhealthy obsession with ‘ethnicity’. It’s all about ”them and us”, we’re better, therefore only we should be allowed to flout the law and put our nation’s flags on the lampposts without permission. The laws should only apply to those coloured people down the road who want to put their foreign flags up. They regularly use the word ‘tribalism’ to justify their obvious racist sentiments.
Well this here is tribalism, and this is the exact type of mentality of many individuals Europe is allowing in to our ( once ) civilised and democratic societies, then wonder why it’s these very people who are incapable/unwilling to assimilate and are overrepresented in the… Read more »
Brilliant and understandable piece from this Papua New Guinean guy
Nice one Mogs 👏
Maybe us “Whites” don’t like the filthy, dangerous, undesirable habits of parasitical people who come here to plunder our welfare system, rape our women and children, slash and stab our citizenry, corrupt our political system and culture.
Oh, but it’s not all of them. Isn’t it? Have a look at the shitholes whence they come and how the populations behave back home.
““Ireland’s sinister media crackdown over the fuel protests” – The Irish media and the Government have launched an authoritarian crackdown on coverage of the recent fuel protests, writes Laura Perrins in the Spectator.”
The difference is that over here in the UK, government interference in reporting wouldn’t even be a news item. That’s what Ofcom is for – controlling what people are allowed to know about.
““NHS vaccines at risk from Chinese fridge-hackers” – NHS vaccines have come under potential threat from Chinese hackers who could remotely access internet-connected fridges, reports the Telegraph.”
Anyone stupid enough to buy a fridge which needs the Internet deserves all they get.
The same could be said of certain “safe and effective” NHS “vaccines”.
I doubt the fridges “need” the internet. Presumably someone thought it was a good feature. I imagine the feature can officially be disabled, though how you would know it was really disabled, I am not sure. Rip out the 5G chip, RFID chip, whatever. But who knows what might be embedded somewhere? You’d need to know people you trusted in appliance manufacturing in the whole supply chain to be sure.
Why aren’t British media reporting China, Russia and Turkey’s moves to open the Strait of Hormuz encompassing the Gulf States and Iran?
The high cost of Ed Miliband’s ‘cheap’ renewable energy
Free or even negatively priced electricity to consume a glut is just the flip side of surge pricing. Charging more when a commodity is scarce being the more familiar aspect of surge pricing. One question should be why does something that was once a reliable utility now have expected periods of scarcity and glut?
What next? Charging more for water in summer when the reservoirs are allowed to run down? Charging for NHS treatment on a Friday night after the pubs close?
The NHS is costing you £3 500 pa – you and others just don’t (want to) know it. Socialised healthcare will always be a mess, but charging, say, £75 for an A&E visit will stop it being an alternative GP service.
Water rates in Summer should be increased so reservoirs aren’t run down, but they are not, therefore you get hose-pipe bans. All resources are scarce and must be rationed somehow. Pricing is always the best, fairest, and most effective option.
The water industry is price capped so the population can have cheap water but then complain about lack of infrastructure, hose-pipe bans, sewage discharge because the water companies cannot generate the revenue to do the necessary infrastructure work – and of course there’s the eco-regulations preventing construction of new reservoirs.
People want stuff, but don’t want to pay the true cost… “they’re ripping us off… greedy capitalists”. Yawn.
The point of variable pricing for electricity is to match supply with demand to keep an evenly balanced, stable grid in order for best allocation of resources, and therefore cost efficiency, ie no need to overbuild supply for peak periods which will stand mostly idle at other… Read more »
Starmer accused of ‘corrosive complacency’ by former Nato chief
The problem is simple: ‘Deter and defend in the Euro-Atlantic: providing one of two Strategic Reserve Corps to NATO…ready to deploy rapidly from the UK to anywhere in the Euro-Atlantic area.’ SDR 2025
Actual means available: ‘…we can provide a trained divisional headquarters and certified and assured brigades—16 Brigade, 7th Light Mech Brigade Combat Team, and an armoured brigade—but there will be capability gaps in our ability to get there and our ability to sustain it for time.’ General Sir Patrick Sanders
Until we can live up to our NATO land army commitments, there is a gaping hole at the heart of NATO’s conventional deterrent.
Solution: double available for deployment divisions by recruiting and equipping 20,000 extra soldiers. How to pay for the uplift? Cancel net zero.
Britain’s defence problem solved, kippers, toast and coffee beckon, triple peerages in the post…
