Wind Turbines Are a Security Risk, Warns Former Head of MI6

by Steven Tucker
27 February 2025 7:00 AM

Remember that time an alien spacecraft destroyed a Lincolnshire wind-turbine back in 2009? No? Well, that’s because it didn’t really happen, despite highly misleading tabloid media front pages of the day like this:

The ruined Eco-Tricity turbine in question suffered a severe failure overnight, losing one blade and with another left damaged during a time-period when one Lincolnshire local claimed to have witnessed “a round, white light that seemed to be hovering” nearby. Disappointingly, the “massive balls of light with tentacles going right down to the ground” reported by other observers would appear to have actually been a misinterpretation of mundane birthday fireworks being set off nearby, not a sensational assault from any hovering fossil fuel-powered alien spacecraft.

As part of the ongoing Long March through the Institutions, all these charitable organisations have been infiltrated by Common Purpose ‘graduates’. Hence their change in remit from being ‘conservative’ by protecting nature and heritage to the monotone woke DEI and ESG of every other organisation on the planet.

Yes the National Trust and RNLI spring to mind, as well as several mainstream charities. All fully paid up members of woke with blue hair and rainbow banners. A bit like the police only a bit less thuggish.

The leadership may be disciples of Woke, the membership are not all formed of the same mold. There is a fightback. https://www.restoretrust.org.uk

The RSPB should be stripped of its Royal patronage immediately. Let an NSPB try to raise funds so easily.

It’s the ‘Thunberg Effect’: write screechy abusive tweets/X-es, throw some soup at historic works of art, attack a few buildings, do some slow marches. That’s what happens when a mentally ill child is the basis of all modern campaigning: no trying to win arguments, just throw a childish tantrum and, when someone responds, clamp your hands over your ears and shout ‘Blah blah blah!!’

These idiots are more than happy to back windfalls, despite the known impacts to birds and bats

Stop funding ANY charity from taxation. Not a single one. Allow the public to choose where they donate their own money.

Donations to charities are simply secondary taxation of the gullible.

All they seem to do is to publish a doom laden ‘Survey’ saying how many birds have been wiped out since last year. Well, my garden is chock full of the little blighters. There is a ‘Little Bird Mafia’ of finches, tits and sparrow who dart from one tree to the next in the gardens up and down the road, and apart from the odd cat victim, they are doing great. Also notice how many Red Kited and Common Buzzards there are too. Those populations seem to have grown greatly over the last three to five years. Maybe they downplay the success to try and screw more money out of everyone. Is it possible.? Would these decent upright citizens do that, I wonder..?

Of course they would.

At great expense, large charities hire research firms to write reports full of questionable statistics which ‘prove’ that things are becoming increasingly dire. Then they cite these reports in bids for more state funding.

That’s the way it works. It has no relation to the real world.

The RSPB has a fixation with raptors, and we all know what raptors do – kill and eat smaller birds. It should be renamed the Royal Society for the Prevention of Birds.

  1. They don’t seem too concerned about the sad killings by the bat?bird chomping metal blades on the wind robots.
  2. RSPB Marxists masquerading as bird lovers! Except if the Osprey had its wings sliced off!

Shouldn’t the RSPB be concerning itself with, well maybe, protecting birds? Perhaps those being minced by the thousand on the blades of Pagan Idol Mobiles as sacrifices to the wind gods? Bats too, I think they fall within the orbit of the RSPB.

I used to donate to Freedom from Torture, who used to concern themselves with helping victims of actual torture. I am still on their mailing list, and got an email the other day urging me to petition the government not to use barges for illegal migrants.

Exactly what is wrong with objecting to the pollution of our rivers caused by housebuilding to accommodate hostile, economically-damaging, culturally primitive immigrants?

Whoah! It’s important to separate the Woke leadership of these charities from the fact that many of their members and volunteers don’t agree with the ideological infiltration which has occurred over time. Opposing voices have organised, certainly at the National Trust with the formation of Restore Trust, formed to get the NT back to its real mission. https://www.restoretrust.org.uk

Chris Packham, the ignorant bellend is a Vice President of the RSPB. Nuff said.

Quite frankly I would rather have Paddington Bear as a member of parliament than most of the current followers of fashion! The thought of living through the next decade is terrifying. Long live the Village Green’.

Don’t think we’re meant to LIVE through the next decade(s) merely exist if the “Powers that be” have their evil ways.
