“Heat pumps have become the eco fiasco of the decade”
Again, the precept of this is ‘carbon reduction’. However, a committee of politicians picking the next successful technology, 20-30 years ahead of its maturity and without a clear understanding of it and its limitations as ‘the thing we all must do’ is the real problem here.
Yes it is politicians petulantly demanding that a technology must come along to answer their dogma and narrative that leads to this sort of debacle. It is as if in 1850 Queen Victoria had had a vision that in future transport would centre on metal boxes and not horses and was so taken with this vision that she ordered all the horses to be shot and demanded that cars be invented immediately. A prescient vision for sure but her timing would have proved disastrous.
Correct, political ego, arrogance and envisaged glowing legacy power all this nonsense!
Tell me about it! Heat pumps are the new ‘wind farm’ as in a solution to a perceived problem that hasn’t really been thought out. Out here in the sticks, they are apparently even more rubbish and you’d need to invest hugely in them to get a decent hot water/central heating effect. Modern houses are OK but most of the old housing stock would need massive refurbishment in terms of insulation costing thousands of additional pounds that people haven’t got. Especially now. And all for an apparent ‘climate emergency’ based on spurious claims, dodgy cherry-picked science and models. It’s interesting that the DT is producing many stories about heat pumps ineffectiveness.

A good description of why that is so, of managerialism and of them and their hive mind. Explains Westminster, Covid, Climate, Woke&co perfectly.
“Like drones in a hive, the people in the managerial class do not know why they believe what they believe. They just know everyone they know supports men in dresses, so it must be the right thing to do.”
….but in other news the Government can afford £2.9m (via the UK Space Agency) to give to Rolls Royce to develop technology for a nuclear reactor to ‘provide power to humans living and working on the moon”….
No they are not taking the pi*s at all……

It seems like big progress that The Express had a double page spread about the plight of the vax injured, but they have to go and put their own stupid spin on it though;
”The Express campaign is centred on improving vaccine-injured compensation. It is a major breakthrough and very encouraging for self-help groups such as UKCVFamily.
But why does the paper’s leader column have to counter it by saying ‘the successful vaccine scheme allowed us to break out of a series of lockdowns’ while speaking of ‘the small number of people who suffered side-effects’?
Is this how the erstwhile wilfully blind mainstream media – and governments for that matter – will try to extricate themselves from the scandalous and potentially dangerous roll-out of unproven ‘vaccines’? By drip-feeding small concessions while still lauding the old narrative? After all, nobody pointed a finger of suspicion when the Pfizer jabs (and AstraZeneca earlier) were suddenly withdrawn.
Is the truth too hot to handle?”

“The world economy is on the brink of collapse and all the Tories do is tinker”
I’m starting to suspect this crisis has been orchestrated to further WEF’s plans for a central Bank digital currency! Let it crash and build back digital. The great reset is happening even quicker than we thought!

This item links with the CBDC item
https://www.theepochtimes.com/dont-fear-central-bank-digital-currency-embrace-it-instead_5116311.html
I am no economist and find it hard to refute this article but to my mind it has chilling echos of all the covid vaccine propaganda. There is a guy on last nights Tucker Carlson show talking about how banking is moving to just a few big players, the pre-cursor to CBDC. There needs to be some in-depth discussion, debate and analysis on the future of banking before we make these massive changes but instead we seem to be getting steamrollered into it by default. I would like to see this DS site do a bit more critical analysis of banking and finance.
I will provide a typically brutal Northern interpretation:
Once CBDC’s come in and become the only form of currency we are f#cked. In reality all our money, all our assets have been stolen.
We will be a society of slaves.
That’s it. No need to overthink this.
That’s true Hux, but I bet you pay your bills by direct debit!?
It is the illusion of choice that has slowly worked its way across the globe. Like 85 flavours of ice cream but all from the same factory. It looks like you get free choice but you do not.
Agreed! Ds is starting to look like a shadow of its former self!
“I’m starting to suspect this crisis has been orchestrated to further WEF’s plans for a central Bank digital currency”
Some of us have been warning of this for months.
Farrar telling a lie re covid? Him telling the truth would be worthy of a headline
This is *long* but a very in-depth article about how the same criminals behind the scamdemic are behind what’s occurring with the banks, and where it’s all headed;
”Having printed trillions under the cover of COVID-19 to further enrich themselves while impoverishing everyone else with diluted currency, with the banking sector now in turmoil the clandestine owners of the Fed realize that they are fast approaching the endgame of their global financial experiment: the debt supercycle is no longer tenable, and “markets” on the whole since the 2008 crash have completely decoupled from fundamentals.
By having generated massive inflation with their conjuring of fiat out of thin air (Quantitive Easing or QE), they are now in the process of drawing down the money supply (Quantitive Tightening or QT) while said inflation remains elevated or sticky, as liquidity precipitously evaporates a la 1929.
Readers of this substack know that the DoD, Pentagon, CIA, UN, WEF, WHO, CFR, Rockefeller and Gates “nonprofit” foundations, BigPharma (a corporate node and cover for the main players), various other Federal government agencies like NIH and their global counterparts, the CCP, et al. were all in on the PSYOP-19 program and the associated slow kill bioweapon DEATHVAX™ injections. But few appreciate that the Fed was always in on the bioterror Crimes Against Humanity operation. Not only did they supply “liquidity” to the various agencies and their bioterror projects while money laundering their black ops, but just like the Rockefeller foundations created allopathic medicine, the Fed literally funded “Trust the Science” for decades, if not longer.”

In the words of the great England football captain:
‘It’s like deja vu all over again….’
‘According to a(nother) leaked document obtained by an international consortium of media outlets……..Moscow is planning to gain….control over the country by 2030.
A Western intelligence source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Kremlin’s Directorate for Cross-Border Cooperation had allegedly created the document, titled “Strategic goals of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Moldova,” in 2021.
According to the document, Russia’s key goals are to ensure that Moldovan policymakers and society, in general, have a negative attitude toward NATO and that the country has a strong presence of pro-Russian influence groups in politics and the economy.
The document envisions Transnistria remaining a breakaway region with Russian troops still stationed there. Russian media should have a wide presence in Moldova, while the Russian language in the country must have an official status.’

Today’s news regarding the BBB party and it does indeed seem that van der Plas is staunchly against forced buyouts;
”But farming is also responsible for a large part of the problem, and BBB leader Caroline van der Plas and her regional party leaders have said repeatedly that compulsory farm buyouts – as the government has mooted – are absolutely not an option. The BBB is also opposed to the government’s commitment to slash nitrogen compound emissions by 50% by 2030.”

…and this from multi- millionaire Ben Goldsmith…
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/sheep-ban-uk-defra-ben-goldsmith-b2301181.html
A former adviser for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has sparked anger after saying sheep “have got to go” from the UK’s hillsides.
Ben Goldsmith, brother of ex Tory MP Zac Goldsmith said the animals are “the principal obstacle standing in the way of meaningful nature recovery in Britain’s national parks and other agriculturally marginal landscapes”.
As sheep have been part of England since Neolithic times..I’d suggest if we were going to cull something, it wouldn’t be the sheep!
