Are We at War?

 It seems to me that it's becoming clearer every day that the elites: the Supranational Organisations, The Big Corporations, The Civil Service and finally the Government, are not working for the good of the people of the UK. To be honest this applies to most Western countries too.

It should be finally dawning on people that those at the top of the pile don't have our best interests at heart.

Is the Net Zero ideology a euphemism for population control? Another war on the lower classes?

It certainly feels like it.

No-one, and I mean no-one, has our back in this. The government act powerless to intervene, they are fully signed up to the net zero depopulation mantra. 

Tough luck, is the best it seems from the government. No lifting of VAT on energy, no abolition of fuel duty on petrol and diesel. Instead pay through the nose suckers!

We're now looking at a £5000 plus annual energy bill come the autumn. Imagine you're on minimum wage and you don't have any kids with which to claim benefits. 

Minimum wage is now £9.50 an hour. Times that by 40 hours a week = £380 a week. Then for the year that'll be £380 x 52 = £19760 before tax. Take a third of for tax and NI and you're left with around £1300 a month in your hand. 

You get no help with rent, so that's around £1000 a month on rent. 

That leaves £300 a month for food and heating. 

If energy goes up to £5000 a year, that's over £400 a month on heating. 

The maths don't add up. No money for food, no money for council tax, no money for transport to work.

Leave a significant minority with nothing to lose then bad things start to happen for those in charge.

Energy Supply & Blackouts: Questions the Media Are Not Asking.

Questions I'd like to ask are:

Why are we pressing ahead with Net Zero, when it's quite clear the policy will price energy out of the reach of the poorest in society?

Is the government going to suspend or ease the Net Zero policy given it is increasing the burden on the poor?

Given the above, if the Government continues to press ahead with Net Zero, is the end game population reduction? Are the government prepared to accept that people will die off over the winter as they cannot afford to heat their homes?

If the government are not willing to sacrifice lives as a direct result of the Net Zero policy, how many lives lost is too many?

If they are not actually prepared for part of the population to die off over winter, what exactly are the government planning to do? Especially given that doing nothing will result in deaths, I assume doing nothing is not an option.

If the government do want to save lives and intervene, what will they do? Will they cut fuel duty and/or VAT? 

Given that this affects everyone and not just those on benefits, are the government considering including the working poor in any additional help, above the removal of VAT and duty?

What provisions do the government have if there are blackouts this winter? Provision for the elderly and infirm? Will the government provide warm facilities where people can stay and not freeze?

Will the government accept that the net zero policy is incompatible with energy affordability for the poor?

Will the government scrap or modify their policy so that the poor are not adversely affected?

Will the government agree that any government policy that doesn't care for the poorest and most vulnerable in society is at best untenable and at worst criminal?

If there are numbers of deaths this winter due to people not being able to heat their homes, would the government resign?

The Eco-Loons Will Absolutely Not Stop Until We Are All Dead.

I see there is uproar about Liz Truss's plan to limit the installation of solar panels on farmland. I know farmers are facing tough times and Farming isn't as profitable as it used to be, so industrialisation of the countryside is apparently the only answer. Although you could keep a few sheep in the paddocks to graze under the panels and keep the grass down, I'm sure the Eco-loons will want to stop sheep farming too because: ideology.

However I note that the Eco-Loons don't like Liz's limits. Instead, they are saying the whole countryside should be industrialised to limit the production of polluting biofuels. 

So now carbon-neutral biofuels are the devil incarnate. See how that's just ratcheted up? No longer are biofuels the answer to carbon, we must ban them now and animals on farms. Instead the loonies will stop farming, stop carbon neutral fuel and will only be happy until we all (or the majority of us) starve or freeze to death.

The agenda is now in the clear, although we knew it all along. The objective is population control. Actually population reduction.

Those in control of such things are moving Western economies to supply economies, where there will be a fixed supply of everything and then people get to squabble over limited resources.

The elites will be fine, as they always are. They will be able to pay the artificially inflated prices of goods and services. 

Those of us at the bottom of the pile will just cease to exist. The supply will be managed and demand will reduce (i.e. people will die off) to match supply.

Don't think it's anything else. These people do not care about you, they do not have your interests at heart.

Is it "Un-British" to Rock the Boat?

 It's long been held that it's a quintessential British virtue to play fair and  toe the line.

But Britain in it's best moments has been far from that. 

In the best moments of world War Two we were conniving and cunning: we dropped a corpse off the coast of Spain to deceive the Germans (Operation Mincemeat), we also created a whole fake army stationed in the UK: Fake radio signals and inflatable tanks made the Germans think we would invade via the direct Calais route. 

I World War One we invented the Tank. So named in order to cover the development and existence of the machine until it turned up on the Battlefields.

Way, way back, we were Buccaneering, we buckled and swashed across the World. We helped stop the slave trade at great expense to the nation.

So my point is, why are we so shy when it comes to politics these days?

Why aren't we dragging the dinghies back to France? Or at the very least disabling them before they reach the half-way point between France and England? A small fast RIB could get in there and Bugger up their engines or slash the dinghy tubes while they are on the French side so the French have to rescue them and return them back to France. Our boat would be too small for a rescue.

Do that a few times and the dinghies will stop. Sure, the French could protest all they want about our boats entering into French territory, but fuck 'em! Let them protest. 

But it's their boats that are effectively abetting an illegal trafficking trade. Should the French Navy boats intervene, or god forbid start firing on our boats, then we escalate with bigger boats and if necessary impound the French boats and prosecute the Captains for their illegal support of an illegal trade. I wouldn't bother warning them in advance. Nobody lets criminals know of a raid in advance, do they?

Should the French require us to investigate and prosecute the people manning our boats, then we can sagely nod and do fuck all about it. Just as the French seemingly appear to be doing nothing about the kingpins involved in the illegal people smugglers. Just a shrug of the shoulders and a "Sorry Mate, can't find 'em".

I see one of the ISIS "Beatles" has been detained at Luton airport after being handed over by Turkish authorities. He should rot in hell all his living days for what he's done.

Bad Management or By Design? You Decide.

 So, Rishi Sunak says he will tackle inflation, with no clear plan of how to do that. Well colour me not surprised, given that this inflation cycle has been decades in the making. It'll take decades of judicious and prudent financial steerage to win the day. I mark him as just another manager without a clue.

The energy crisis has also been decades in the making, with not just closure, but complete eradication of our coal fired power stations, the complete hash of the nuclear reactor replacements and the reliance on interconnectors with other countries to top-up electricity supply. 

Not many people know that Norway is a significant and important supplier of electricity to the UK. Not only topping up our inability to generate adequate supply when renewables don't cut the mustard, but also being mainly hydro-generated it counts towards our green credentials.

Sadly this year's lack of rainfall has reduced the level of Norway's lakes, so their ability to produce more electricity that they need is curtailed.

And this is where the madness of relying on external energy shows itself: Norway have quite rightly said they will limit production of electricity to supply their own domestic needs. They are stopping the production of electricity for external customers.

And quite right too. I would expect nothing less from a domestic energy supplier.

And this highlights the folly of the under-investment in energy supply in the UK that has gone on for decades. 

It seems that senior corporate and government management in the UK relies on someone else bailing them out of the shit.

Corporate criminal management has done the usual corporate thing: maximised profits. Taking ever larger amounts at the front end and chronically under-investing in the back end. Whether it be research and development, or the energy industry's over-reliance on external suppliers or reliance on external contractors for the provision of nuclear. 

It's all (quite expectedly) gone tits-up.

We are reaping the whirlwind. We are now facing huge price increases for energy, we are also looking at rolling blackouts to manage energy supply. How severe the black-outs will be depends on how much wind blows and whether the skies stay blue.

Sadly both can be missing and as there has been no serious R&D on storing renewable energy, we will be buggered on a calm, still windless night. The lights will go out and hospitals will rely on diesel generators.

When all our external suppliers say they are cutting energy production to meet their own carbon targets, or because they have a drought, 

Right now we need to step up. We need to bring nuclear back in-house. We need serious R&D investment from the corporations that for decades have taken the money and just handed it over to shareholders. If necessary the government should mandate a huge percentage in R&D for the energy generators. They should also find a way of locking shareholders in so they cannot bail just because they get a lower return on investment.

We need a realistic look at managing the UK as a whole. There has been too much reliance for too long on criminal mis-management. There has been too much asset-stripping and maximisation of profits. 

If I was in power I'd be looking at locking up the boards of these corporations for running down what is essential a National Security asset. Previous political leaders, managers and senior civil servants should also be in the dock for not sorting the mess out whilst taking huge salaries. I'd call it taking money under false pretences.

Such is my anger towards what was, decades ago, the most far-sighted energy supply industry in the world. We were developing nuclear reactors using UK talent and expertise, we also had a power supply grid that was the envy of the world, we were world leaders.

But no longer. We're buying in nuclear, which has failed to deliver in a spectacular fashion, our national grid is overdue for maintenance, we are actually buying in parts rather than get them from UK suppliers. No doubt because the UK industry hasn't been maintaining the grid so suppliers of pylons have either folded or gone off to produce other things.

It's a joke. Except I'm not laughing. And neither will other parts of the population this winter.

Punishment.

Here in the UK have you noticed that things aren't the same politically after we voted for Brexit? Over in the USA, have you noticed politics aren't the same after Trump?

Even pre-pandemic, we had the insanity of the UK government try, try and try again to thwart Brexit. We had our own Parliament attempting to instigate a second referendum. 

We've now got a faulty Brexit deal that still ties us to the EU, without casting us away from them fully. The Northern Ireland question could easily have been solved by a referendum in Northern Ireland.. Do you want to be in the EU or out of it? Part of the UK or out of it?

We could have unilaterally extricated us from EU treaties and then let them put up a wall if they wanted to. Let Ireland install and pay for the border checkpoints. We wouldn't have paid a penny and would have an open border with no checks on our side. Then say to the EU it's up to you to deal with it. 

In the channel I would have impounded French coastguard vessels for aiding and abetting human trafficking. If their vessels continue to shadow immigrant boats then we would class the French vessels as complicit and would board them, impound the vessel and arrest the captain.

In the USA there were continuous attempts to hamstring the Trump administration with various court cases and impeachment hearings.

And it's not stopped.

Why is that?

Because we are being punished by the elite. We dared to act contrary to their agenda. It will not stop until we give them another bloody nose and tell them to fuck off.

They are deliberately aggravating the inflationary pressures. from what I can see there is no policy from the Bank of England to quell the fire. Instead we get half-hearted interest rate rises. Fucking brilliant for someone that is about to cash in a pension pot that has been accruing fractions of a percent interest over the past three decades. It's of no benefit for me now. Thanks a fucking bunch.

No, this is a deliberate policy to punish the unruly. It will be blamed on Brexit, on Trump, on Conservatives, on the poor, the feckless, the indigenous. 

One group that the finger will absolutely not point to is those in control of the policy: the elites. The WEF, the IMF, the Central Banks, the futures traders, the World Leaders, the Davos Elite.

We need to say "Fuck You" to all of them and refuse to vote for their puppet parties. Instead vote for so-called extremists like Reform or UKIP. Fuck the moniker the Elites give these parties. They are tarred with one thing: not doing what the elites want them to. 

Fucking Right! Vote for them. Vote for them in large numbers and lets give the elites another bloody fucking nose.

Zombie PMs Brought out of Retirement to Criticise the Government.

 A few months ago we had warmonger Tony Blair getting involved in criticising the government over handling of the economy. 

Tony Blair. The PM that inherited a stable economy from the previous Tory Government. 

Tony Blair the PM that introduced in-work benefits to top up the wages of poorly-paid families at the expense of poorly paid-single people who didn't get any help.

But now, to cap it all, we have the one-eyed Gorgon weighing in. 

Yes, Gordon Brown, the PM that bailed out the banks at the expense of the taxpayer, the guy that called a patriotic lady a bigot. The archetypal politician corrupted by the Davos set.

Yep, he's weighed in: Former PM 'seeing poverty I did not expect to see again' as he warns people will go hungry and cold within months (msn.com)

Well Gordon, if I'm not mistaken you started the inflationary pressures by printing money and bailing out the banks 20 years ago. 

The coalition government that took over from you carried on and then the Tories presided over exactly the same policy.

You're all to blame for the mess we're in now. 

Two decades of money printing, relying on cheap labour and cheap Chinese goods to keep inflation down. 

At the end of the day it was inevitable that the ability to get away with it would come to an end, you just hoped it would be years down the line on someone else's watch. 

Fuck you all: All the successive Prime Ministers and Chancellors and governors of the Bank of England for what you have done. You are all culpable for a reckless policy that was sure to backfire at some point.

I don't care if every government in the West was doing it. They are all suffering now. But you should have known better and not followed the advice of the elite club of Davos, the IMF and the WEF.

All of you should have been prudent (remember THAT phrase Gordon?) and worked FOR the people and known that what you were doing would have consequences SERIOUS consequences at some point.

You should all be in the dock answering to your various courses of action. NONE of you have any moral high ground to pontificate from.
