The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

An Excess of Pity: Why We Fail to Deport Those Whom We Should Deport Tue Apr 29, 2025 15:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

John,
Well spotted and well said, you've got a lot of people talking 'round here.
Don't worry about 'Random' ....he's well known for that type crap he comes up with.
He got the nickname 'Random' because of how he applies his intelligence. people say it was something to do with his childhood, poor boy.
Thanks John.
We won't let you Down!
Do you want to be rich,… beyond the dreams of Avarice.?
Please recite aloud, and send a copy of this prayer to five people you know,and a Miracle will occur.
Do it now. You will receive a large amount of money if you follow these instructions.
Please don’t break the chain.
God bless you .
‘ The Beatitudes, according to Saint Bertie.’
Bertie led his followers ,wealthy farmers,despised tax collectors, building speculators,and rich merchants-up a high mountain,where they paused to rest. He addressed them in these words;
‘Look around you,my disciples…all this, I give to those of you who worship me.
Verily I say to you;-
Blessed are the young people , who have been priced out of the home ownership market,by corruption,nepotism,stroke politics, and well connected builders and land speculators.
Blessed are those who labour without profit; who pay 70% of the price of motor fuel in government tax; who suffer the highest vehicle purchase taxes in Europe;the highest alcoholic drink taxes;the highest V.A.T.taxes; stealth taxes of every kind; new rubbish taxes;water taxes(pending);road toll taxes;private V.H.I.taxes;credit card taxes,… all this, after 42% income tax ,is first deducted at source.!
Blessed are those who walk in the countryside for recreation,and are hindered and persecuted;blocked by the barbed wire fences of landowners and farmers, who take vast sums of the common people’s taxes , throughout the E.U. Empire,-and give nothing back in return.
Blessed are the Anglers who wait all day by the lakeside –and catching nothing!
Their stocks are destroyed,their labors wasted.Patiently they endure agricultural pollution,nitrate poisoning,and legalized drift net fishing by rich men in the coastal estuaries.
Blessed are those who endure lawlessness, greed, and anarchy,all around them. .;those who are the victims of crime; scourged by illegal dumping; illegal quarrying,and illegal development,smuggling,and racketeering of every sort.Blessed are those in the working class communities –abandoned to joy riders and drug purveyors.
Blessed are those communities where ribbon road development; one off housing; section 140 motions;- are commonplace in the councils.Where houses are quickly sold off, in the speculative frenzy of the times.
Cursed are the civil servants who are passed over for promotion,because of their refusal to obey my law .I shall scatter them ,and their families,and their descendents,across the land of Erin to occupy the new houses and offices built by my Elect;- Martin ‘Cu’Cullen,
Blessed are those who shun the local councilors .Watch how they act,these councilors,- always full of their own importance; purporting to represent the common people while in reality rezoning lands for one another’s advantage; doing deals in dark corridors where money changes hands; profiting themselves at every opportunity; grasping and greedy -like pigs;travelling to foreign places and living in luxury hotels;ever feeding from the public trough and on the public purse, while devising new ways to tax the poor.
Blessed are those who suffer the injustice of elected leaders who have abused the trust placed upon them by the people.;Blessed are those who must evermore witness the spectacle of arrogant criminals-full of bluff and bluster-strutting defiantly before the Courts,and justifying themselves daily to the Sanhedrin,in Dublin Castle.
Blessed are the victims of penalty points for minor infringements,and ludicrously low speed limits;-while drunken drivers nightly traverse our highways and fill the car parks of public drinking places with impunity.
Cursed are those who have sent their wealth to foreign lands ,or falsely colluded with rich bankers to avoid the tax collectors-for they shall wish they had never been born.!
Happy are those who have no connection with;and who have never voted for; and who have never profited by;- the corruption,the wasteful spending,or the pre- election largesse of the Soldiers of Destiny.
Blessed are those who cherish our ancestral burial grounds,and all traces of our rich history,and heritage;-though it shall be laid waste,in my generation.
Another Cuchulainn has arisen, in the South,and his army of mechanized chariots will desolate the land and destroy all before it.All this must come to pass.
But I tell you truly,you need not despair. Now is your hour of darkness.Now is your time of suffering.The Soldiers Of Destiny will sift you like wheat,with your own money.
All this you will suffer for my sake.
But your reward will be great in Heaven.’This is the Word of Bertie.
;-)
every now and again we see a politician who wishes to launch himself on a geo-political "cultural" career.
We always clip that type of wing.
we have you by the synapse.
