offsite link No, BBC, Electricity is Not Expensive Because of Gas But Because of Renewables Subsidies Wed Apr 16, 2025 13:47 | David Turver
A BBC show has claimed that electricity is expensive because of the price of gas. That's nonsense, says David Turver. When taxpayer subsidies are included, electricity from renewables is far more expensive than from gas.

offsite link The AI Dystopia is Coming Wed Apr 16, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
The rise of AI moves us dangerously close to a dystopia where illiterate humans are beholden to ultra-competent machines, warns Professor James Alexander. Can anything prevent us from surrendering completely?

How times have changed. In the space of a few weeks ordinary things like going to the beach or swimming have become illegal activities, criminal acts. We have sleep walked into a police state and we are clapping our way through it.

We are told that the lockdown will have to continue indefinitely. We are told there will be more rounds of Covid-19 each worse the next. This is completely counter to most diseases which get milder over time. We are told when the lock down lifts, groups no larger than 10 will be allowed. What does that mean for flying, going to the theatre, cinema, concerts, football matches. Going to the beach, staying in a hotel.

Actually it’s pure crap and if we don’t wake up and reject this bullshit, we are totally fucked.

Keep watching the fear porn
