DAILY MORON

Leads on the severe alert saying thousands have switched the alert off. With the fire service not coping and calling in the Army, just what do they expect a severe alert to consist of? If 1205 wild fires so far this year with 43 in the last 24 hours, 38 homes burnt, 9 destroyed in Stourbridge, and no comments on the polluting impact of the fires. I am genuinely puzzled. An invasion of flying saucers orchestrated by Count Binface? Ok, but I genuinely cannot think of a better use of the system? I think we should now have a weekly Climate alert programme, accessible on all phones, there is too much ignorance. In the last year we produced 43.6% electricity from renewables and just 27.2% from fossil fuels. I am sure we could double the amount using renewables by sensible planning legislation. Announcing new initiatives for insulation measures, the number of EV charging points, together with weather events from around the world. Initiatives by countries like China, and an idiot of the week slot reserved for Trump, Farage, Badenoch and acolytes! It could be financed by a special tax on fossil fuel companies.

And with 2 trains derailed in the last couple of days there are still morons who buy ridiculous papers and beleive every word, even when they are reading shit about issues created by Brexit and the last government (very short memories regarding these issues by the aged!) nb. small boats (none prior to Brexit!), NHS waiting lists spiralled under tories, despite privatisation of swaiths of services. Why is water so expensive?- privatisation. And with AI likely to guzzle more energy than ever – maybe they should pay for new infrastructure?

European Athletics Championships have been spellbinding, not just for the niceness of the athletes, the near lack of nationalistic bollocks (the crowd clapping in time for a Bulgarian or basically any athlete). Maybe I was wrong in decrying the absurdly high ticket prices – it kept the knuckle draggers away! The crowd seemed generally enthralled by the exertions of the athletes before them!

JASON ARDEY

I have no knowledge of the correctnous of allegations against him, but I am sure the press would not have been so voracious in their condemnation of him – and now he is DEAD. Is the right wing press now content? He might have been employed due to ‘woke’ ideologies, but how many in the past have been employed due to fascist philosophies? Whatever, it seems that Cambridge University has not shown a duty of care to an employee. So what if a dumb kid from a working class background got promoted beyond his worth, it happens all the time with institutions favouring those from Eton and Harrow, etc. So the papers and CU should have to pay out millions to his family and community. Racism perfades British Society.

A third of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland , achieved A or A+ grades. Basically what is the fucking point! If treated like a driving test, fine, but as a measure of ability it is shite! The exams can be duped, private tuition or an expansive public school can guarantee a pass, but not an element of intelligence or empathy. Universities are desperate for newcomers, having had their budgets slashed by the Tory migrant policies – they are becoming more evil the more I look!

UNBELEIVABLE

Some people are complaining about the severe warning put out by the Government. I am not sure why? Apart from an attempt to make a political point. With fires breaking out and destroying houses in this country, there is obviously a need – 99% of fires are caused by humans, mostly, and I am being generous here, accidentally through stupidity or ignorance. We discussed this at the shop this morning. It was pointed out that many people now have no access to the news, they do not watch news programmes, or listen to radio stations with news. So ignorance is an explanation, not an excuse. Some have said that the warning was over the top, but with the Army enrolled to help fight the fires because the fire service is being overwhelmed by the number of outbreaks. the government would be negligent to do nothing. One old lady even said it was inappropriate whilst we had small boat crossings , a crisis in the NHS (both Tory legacies). I am only aware of the government using the system once before regarding severe weather again, but wind/rain? One guy even said it was wrong because it frightened his child – presumably he has banned all fairy tales, and mention of Farage or Thatcher?

OK the brittle diva himself. Having claimed to have put two fingers up to the establishment (personified by himself) and forgeting the 10000 votes cast for anti-esstablishment figures like a guy wearing a trash can on his head. One can almost hear him sobbing in the corner, complaining that ‘it’ is not fair and ‘don’t they know who I am”. – I guess 22000 people in Clacton do not!

But Burnham is not innocent himself, he has watered down EV requirements and been positive to the development of Rosebank and Jackdaw fields. Is there any touch of irony?

WARNING

The government sends out a Notification warning people of the dangers of wildfires. Brilliant, as most of the south is unlikely to get any significant rain for the next month, this is aptly timed. Will the Daily Mail and Express, Telegraph etc. complain about a nanny state, the freedom to have a BBQ wherever? Or will they congratulate ‘Andy’, surely not Burnham, for his decisive action. (I would like to see similar regarding Israel and fossil fuels, but whatever! Oh and water companes need to be nationalised NOW! So will the shite press run stories of how the fires are caused by nature lovers?

Tomorrow – standing charges for utilities. “I am selling potatoes’ but you will pay me so much per day whether you buy any or not!’ Rip off Britain. and would you report a neighbour for ……..

NOT A NICE PERSON

I was brought up to ‘Being magnanimous in defeat and humble in victory means keeping a kind, noble heart no matter the outcome. It means not being mean when you win, and not being angry when you lose.’ Farage is neither, just a spoilt braggart. He also became the first winning candidate since IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands to fail to attend the result. He also cancelled a press conference this morning saying on social media ‘he told supporters at a party down the road: “I’m sad to say that after 33 years of being a candidate in active politics, I’ve been advised tonight by Essex Police that there is an organised campaign to disrupt and degrade the result.” Essex Police deny this completely. So a liar and coward too!

He added: “I’m damned if I’m going to stand on a stage having won a resounding victory, a ringing endorsement of all that I’ve tried to fight for and you’ve tried to fight for and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies.” WHAT AN ARROGANT TOSSER!

CLACTON

2 statistics to bear in mind. In the last election the turnout was 58.7% and Farage got 21255 votes If these statistics are down he will be a loser – it also worth noting that the tories got 12820 votes, so basically right wingers got 75% of the vote. Also of interest is how Count Binface gets on – this is a very British election! If he does not lose his deposit (by getting 5% of votes cast) it will be seen as a victory by those of us who hate Reform – with a passion. Therefore anything less than 20000 votes for the lunatic, a turnout of less than 50% and less than 75% of the votes will lead to an embarassed evil muppet. And then we will probably have to do it all again in a couple of months.

More shite from the right wing climate deniers, thhey are blaming nature reserves and conservation measures for the spate of wild fires across Britain. Whilst just about every species of wildlife in the UK is in decline they balme the victims rather than the perpertrators of the fires – 98% human induced. Perhaps they should be encouraging volunteering and school participation in wildlife rather than the wildlife protectors. And not a mention of climate change – evil bastards! In Scotland there have been calls for the Glorious Twelfth to be abandoned (The start of the grouse shooting season when rich people pay a fortune (for me) to shoot little birds for fun – is this a medieval tradition?). Is it better when the hunting is genuine and the birds shot eaten, rather than reared in sheds causing pollution? I am not vegetarian so my mind remains open on the issue (although we should all cut down on meat consumption for climate change. Maybe we should see more venison in the supermarket – or maybe the Bambi effect is too strong, but there are more deer in the UK than probably at anytime in history. Just thinking out loud1!

MUCH A DO ABOUT NOTHING!

I ws disappointed with the eclipse, I sat outside with a glass of wine and waited for it to get darker, for the world to go quiet. By half past seven I went inside to check the time, had I got it wrong, or missed it somehow? The papers were full of it, fantastic photos, sports events that were disrupted. So i was nervous about mentioning my dispiriting experience with others. They felt the same as I did. We were not going to get a total eclipse, but 7% of bright sunshine was enough to counter the main expected impact.

SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS

Just have not got a clue. The European Athletic Championships is a perfect example – over priced tickets and food at extortionate prices. junior members of athletic clubs should have been admitted free, senior members at half price, food trucks should have prices capped. A half empty stadium for the womens 100m was a disgrace. We surely want to encourage children to take up and enjoy sports, swimming pools are closing,nmunicipal tennis courts have disappeared completely. Other sports are also guilty of moneytising youth before encouraging participation. A season ticket for a premier football club is very pricey and the average age of seson ticket holders is around about the £550+ mark. The Infantino affair reflects the distance between participants and administrators. Bezos investing £1.35billion in Liverpool FC has nothing to do with a love of the game. Cricket is a long game but no county games over a bank holiday weekend is madness. I am sure there are other examples (such as basketball getting no funding).

Planning ahead – I wonder how many councils have looked at the weather and decided to plan for potential floods later this year – they will happen. Planning applications for new housing should be adapted to allow infiltration and reducing runoff. So yes we need to instal aircon in schools, hospitals and care homes, but also in new new housing, planners should take geography lessons and environmental sustainability lessons. Farmers should be offered tax breaks to adapt to climate change by building storage pools, but also reducing livestock density (which reduces infiltration and increases runoff – even on hill sheep farms). It is time to stop moaning and get wise, ‘a stitch in time saves nine’!

Meanwhile at home, greenhouse and bedroom plants watered, tomatoes marinating, washing out, Maz asked for some thyme so I have sent her 7 different varieties. And I have more arriving! I think I will bring most plants into the house this winter or/and the greenhouse. Enjoy the eclipse, and be safe.

THE OBSCENELY RICH

So Bezos decided to use some of his £197bn , not for a legacy project to help the less fortunate, not to contribute to research for a cure for illness, but to buy a 30% share in Liverpool FC for £1.35billion. Fucking appalling. maybe he could have contributed to funds for repair in Venezuela and Colombia to help them recover from horrendous earthquakes.

Another rich twat – Trump has waded into the Infantino affair stating that it would be a big mistake to get rid of the guy? When he gets upset Trump normally find a war to start, football maybe a more elusive target?

How to make a quarter of a £million? Get a large inflatable and load it to capacity with ‘refugees’ at £1000 a go and transport across the English Channel, and then presumably follow up with demands for more money from their families or by some other extortion? I have every sympathy for the genuine refugees, even the economic ones, but surely a scheduled flight for £100 would enable them to be processed properly (preferably before departure), and then provided with barrack accomodation whilst they look for jobs and their own accommodation. Those who get in illegally can be returned to their country of origin. I am sure there are many problems with this, but the government must be seen to be doing something, rather than let the right wing wank all over the front pages of the press!

Solar eclipse – it could be about 90+% here between 19.00 and 19.30 tomorrow. But note that normal sunglasses are NOT ok, But why look at the sun anyway, just enjoy the dusk and quiet , wildlife seems to recognise the danger of a different situation and shut up!

Meanwhile Thames Water have paid executives £4.5 million in bonus’s – are they thick, nasty or just very stupid? Time to nationalise – without compensation, and with punitive measures to reclaim bonus payments where basic levels of pollution have been exceeded.

Then darling Kemi as she is referred to in the gutter press, has appointed a convicted racist neo-nazi to a senior advisory role in the greedy party, I am all for rehabilitation, but not for dressing wolves in sheeps clothing!

Police tow away, and confinscate £8million worth of cars in Mayfair for having no insurance, tax or the drivers lack of a valid driving licence! One Walworth £3.5 million (a limited edition Ferrari Monza SP2 – for the geeks amongst you!).
