Eco-Lockdowns: Coming to You Some Time This Year.

 Yep, I've already heard the political chatter about lockdowns to save the environment. We did predict them back when the Covid lockdowns proved such a success with the sheeple.

Well, now whether it's Stephen Fry saying we might have a car-free Sunday, or Richard Branson ranting about German Billions going to Russia, the signs are that the lefty luvvy elites are looking to expand lockdowns to whatever their latest crusade is.

So whether it's Birmingham banning cars on a Sunday, or smart meters disconnecting houses from the energy grid for Ukraine, the signs are that eco-loon lockdowns will be a thing going forward. More than likely disguised as solidarity "for Ukraine" and voluntary, but eventually moving to "just because" and mandatory without consent.

It's just a case of the Elites and their acolytes setting the scene for voluntary lockdowns and reduction in energy consumption, checking uptake and positive public opinion, to then the Government taking over and making the energy lockdowns mandatory.

Of course the middle-classes who don't have an issue with paying energy bills will love this virtue-signalling fuckery. Those of us that are having to cut our cloth in order to merely survive the current inflationary spiral will just go straight to the mandatory removal of energy at the whim of the government.

It's coming people, you heard it here first.

Just remember to not comply. I don't give a fuck if it's in solidarity with Ukraine. Here in the UK we use a minimal amount of Russian gas (something like 4% of our total gas consumption) , so stopping using energy will not send a message to Putin at all.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Don't fall for it.

Elon Musk Pees Higher than other Billionaires...

 Elon Musk just peed higher than Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, by a hundred miles or so. 

I do like Elon. He just gets things done.. Sometimes it starts a bit flaky and his timescales are wildly optimistic, but eventually he gets the bugs ironed out and makes stuff work. 

Only a couple of months after Bezos was crowing that his sub-orbital New Shepard rocket launched a private flight further into space than Richard Branson's space effort, Elon comes along with Inspiration 4: a 3-day, fully orbital flight with four private individuals on board and pisses higher than Bezos and all over his paltry spacefaring efforts.

The inspiration 4 crew can rightly claim to be astronauts. No ambiguity, they are flying higher than the International Space Station and for days, not minutes. Both Bezos and Branson give you minutes at an altitude that it can be argued if it is actually space at all. 

Good on Elon for showing who's really top dog in private space flight, with no crowing, no publicity-grabbing as a passenger. Nicely done sir, nicely done... 

Can't wait to see the Super-Heavy booster and Starship launch. That whole project should be spectacular not just launching, but during recovery.
