It is a climate emergency shrieks the mainstream media. Rhodes is burning down. Everyone is being evacuated. Three weeks ahead of my next trip to Greece I am not panicked. As I noted in a podcast last week, the headlines on this matter are wilfully misleading.
At the end of our garden there is a wooden fence. Behind that is the old orchard which is far longer than it is wide, 7 or 8 yards from the garden is the river. Alongside the apple trees is a giant weeping willow. Well, as you can see, it is a bit less massive now. I have now idea why two enormous boughs broke and I did not hear any great crash. Presumably the snoring of the Mrs drowned that out. Yesterday, the cats, kids and I inspected the damage. The good news is that my pal Robert was due here next week to take down “the snake barn” and one last shed sited in the fields as we expand the orchard along the river. Robert is just the man to bring a chainsaw and deal with this. At a stroke the winter fuel for the wood burning stove is sorted without Joshua and I needing to do any sawing at all in the wood shed. Every cloud…
Whatever you think of Nigel Farage he is the hero of today’s epiosde where the liberal GroupThink in the business and media world are the villains. If you care a jot about liberty and freedom, on this day you stand with Farage. Because next time it could be you!
Produced last night, these will be for the salads at ShareStock. I need to make at least two more jars of this size for the event plus more for the Autumn and winter family consumption. Hence, I am clearing a bit more of the garden to plant more radishes in a week or so to ensure that happens. The radishes are pickled in a South East Asian sauce including cider vinegar, sugar, a bit of salt and pepper plus mustard seeds and a home grown chilli. Yum, yum.
I start with the Women’s World Cup and the BBC’s fake news on that before turning to the ghastly Packham going unchallenged on statements that are patently untrue. Finally those lurid purple weather maps showing Southern Europe turning to a desert. I discuss the Country I know best, Greece, and what the actual data says. Oddly it is not as the liberal media GroupThink would have you believe.
The Poet Laureate is in the Arctic writing poems about global warming. Mr Simon Armitage was interviewed by Amal Rajan and Martha Kearney on BBC Radio 4’s Today show and it was just so lamentable. The poet talked utter tommy rot and the presenters had done no homework on hard data to call him out. It was the London liberal elite GroupThink on steroids. With data I call out the lot of them for serving up fake news and fake poetry.
The great and the good of the media world are gathering to attack The Sun, social media and anyone who questions their narrative as irresponsible, homophobic or discreadited. Meanwhile they say that poor old Huw not the 7 young folks now to have come forward are the victims. In an era of #MeToo how can Jon Sopel, Emily Maitlis et al be so offensive? All is discussed in this podcast.
The little girly snowflake swat has just been on the phone to let us know that, despite Brexit and global warming, she has got a First, in French and History, from Oxford. Suffice to say I am a very proud dad but have no idea where she gets it from.
We celebrate HolocaustMemorialDay with a candle in this house. I have written countless articles on the evils of anti-semitism and the persecution of Israel. So it saddens me greatly that the Holocaust Memorial Trust is lying about and rewriting history to gain sympathy for its cause. Re-writing history is one of the countless evils of the Nazis. We are better than them are we not?
I am afraid that like, I suspect any straight guy or lesbian reading this article, the answer is that we’d rather date the bird on the right who came second. Not only is she far more of a looker but….
I wrote an article earlier explaining why folks should boycott the price uncompetitive seller of coffee pods and operator of coffee bars Grind. I am a loyal customer but will not be one going forward. On twitter, a stack of folks who had not read what I had written behind a paywall lined up me to attack me for what I had not said. It’s a free world, you can show yourself to be an arse by behaving that way if you want to.
I was walking across the school yard having just dropped Joshua off early so that he could take his turn today as the class helpwr heddiw. Coming the other way was a dad with two boys, one in Joshua’s form and one who goes to the school nursery with my two year old daughter Jaya. The younger lad stared at me then shouted “It’s Jaya’s grandpa!”
The Board of Deputies has already complained about this interview between BBC reporter Anjana Gadgil and formmer Israeli PM Naftali Bennett. The transcript is below and should be a sacking offence for Gadgil. Of course it will not be for the BBC is the media outlet who brought us Tala Halawa who said that Hitler was right about the Jews. It knows whose side it is on…
Sizzzling summers, wine growing, blue skies, the mediterranean dream all in the Scottish Highlands. But what would cause this? Natch: followers of the doom goblin Greta Thunberg, King Charles III, the BBC et al would scream man-made global warming. But hang on folks…
The mainstream media is, without challenge, presenting claims from the Met Office saying that UK average temperatures in June were the warmest on record and that this is down to global warming. Does nobody interrogate the data behind these claims with any degree of scepticism?
