Here’s a face not known by my Murkin Readers, but probably familiar to those in Britishland: ITV’s weather reporter on Good Morning Britain, the elfin Laura Tobin.
“Okay Kim,” y’all might say. “That’s a right purdy lil’ thang, thanks for the pics.”
Unfortunately, this totty is one of those rabid climate change advocates/alarmists, whose slanted opinions on the topic, and frequent injections of said propaganda into her weather reports has even some Brits perturbed.
Just so you know.
…but “fuck off and die” no.
I refer here, of course, to this push to make us all give up our regular gasoline-powered cars and replace them with fucking Duracell* vehicles.
Here’s one tale of woe.
And here’s the problematic infrastructure.
So fuck ’em.
Come to think of it, we could always switch to horses, except that those assholes at Peta will probably throw a hissy about that too.
I think I need to go to the range (he said, apropos of nothing). Those guns aren’t going to shoot all by themselves, you know.
*And I mean no disrespect towards Duracell, who make excellent batteries. I’m just not going to use them to power my car.
Of course, this is about the Coming Ice Age Of 1970.
Then there’s this one, more trenchantly stated:
Five hundred years ago, no one was driving, flying, using plastic bags or gas stoves. Electric vehicles were not a thing yet. The only vehicle was a horse, possibly pulling a carriage. There was even less CO2 activity 5000 years ago or 5 million years ago. Yet the climate was changing back then. How does science explain that? Or are they making things up now?
I’ll take that last one for $400, Alex.
Fucking charlatans.
Global warming-obsessed climatologists and media told us back in 2020 that snow and frost would be rare – a thing of the past!
Now with the heavy, record snowfall, global warming astrologists are looking a bit foolish and embarrassed. Their predictions are wrong. Already in November snow arrived and record amounts have already fallen.
You had me at “global warming astrologists”…
Read the whole thing.
Stephen Moore has an excellent “story of the film so far” about the Net Zero / Green energy / no more cars with engines / unicorn fart-based energy initiative:
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that “clean energy” investment funds are tanking, with some down as much as 70% in recent months. Solar has been one of the worst-performing industry stocks this year.
This collapse is happening right when Exxon and Chevron have engineered a combined $110 billion blockbuster acquisitions to expand oil and gas drilling in the Permian Basin in Texas, one of the biggest oil fields in the world. This year, they both reported their largest profits ever.
They and their investors are looking at the real-world data, not green energy propaganda. In 2023, the world is guzzling oil and gas like never before. Global consumption of fossil fuels was higher in 2022 than at any time in human history, even as the developed countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars trying to stop oil, gas and coal.
As they say: follow the money. All the politicians’ wishful thinking won’t change the nature of the world (i.e. reality), as much as they’d like to think it can.
Yesterday we learned that “football hooligans” (a.k.a. loyal and decent Brits) are going to stop the Pal terrorsymps from taking over the Remembrance Day memorial.
Now we have this:
Football hooligans alliance supporters warn fans ‘do not come tooled up’ with weapons as they bid to ‘protect’ the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine protest – and sell out coaches for hundreds to head to London.
My thought is precisely the opposite: by all means bring weapons, because you have to know that the “peaceful” terrorsymps surely will — and the last thing you need is to face some dangerous asshole down with only your fists when he’s carrying a “sign-holder” (club).
No no: bring weapons yourselves, but do not brandish them or take them out — ever — unless you’re physically attacked.
Then have at it, and may the best thug win.
No doubt someone’s going to have a problem with this, but I don’t care. Even in Britishland, one should have the proper (and lawful) means of self-defense, e.g. a pair of sap gloves (as worn by the cops, ergo legal), and some kind of head protection (e.g. one of these). I had both on my last visit to Britishland, but I just never told anyone about them.
I also recommend carrying a sign (suitably provocative) affixed to a pickax handle.
It’s all about freedom of expression, innit?
