EU's a criminal failure says Nick Ferrari I'm not going to repeat the details of this horrific incident, and have nothing to add to Nick Ferrari's conclusion (below). Although my own disgust extends to the whole cohort of Cameron's yes men, who for their own advancement are prepared to engage in his cynical and calculated campaign of fear, uncertainty and doubt. Nothing new in that of course, and - though not a religious person - Genesis 25:29 seems to have it about covered!

GLOBAL COOLING: Decade long ice age predicted as sun 'hibernates' Why should we be inclined to believe this group of scientists rather than the ruling "warmist lobby"? Well, for a start, they are unlikely to be funded by the central heating and double glazing industries, and they aren't screaming imminent doom and disaster, or pushing for international jollies in exotic climbs (just yet). It's also par for the course to discover our politicos have all along been doing precisely the wrong thing, and throwing away vast sums of British tax payers money on crazy "ground nut" schemes. I'm looking at you Ed Miliband! Which political party will be the first to have the courage to advocate repealing the insane and completely unaffordable Climate Change Act 2008? Does the Thames outside their windows have to freeze over before they will admit to being victims of mass delusion?

A news story that won't be on the PCBBC any time soon: NASA reveals that Antarctica is actually gaining more ice than it is losing So, the man with the means to see the whole picture confirms (if more confirmation were really necessary) that the Antarctic is net putting on ice not losing it! That would make those evil, incredibly stupid, "climate change deniers" right all along. How damn inconvenient if you've built a career (or a political party) on selling pseudo-science to the gullible! Of course absolutely no one denies that climate changes, that's what climate has always done. But, our elites are in a position to control the language, so it's relatively easy for them to substitute climate change for global warming and conveniently drop the word anthropomorphic in process (after all what would the plebs make of such a big word?). Enough people really really want the "climate change" pseudo science to be a reality, so, rather than admit to real scientific evidence, the mantra will continue morphing into another insanely costly attempt to control some other uncontrollable. The bleedingly obvious anthropomorphic factors in the environment (like the horrendous plastic pollution) we can do something about, without vast effort or expense, will continue to be ignored. When I see a group of Greens picking plastic out of hedgerows or off the beaches I will consider voting for them.

Not just motor insurance of course! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/insurance/motorinsurance/11955658/Insurance-premium-tax-will-add-73-to-your-annual-car-household-and-medical-costs-and-increase-bogus-claims.html

Didn't need to nag, he fixed it in < 5 mins.

There was an even better TV service in Bedlington! From here it looks like a local problem in Bedlington as the mini-server there is still watermarking the feed. My phone says Fourgee only just got back from wherever, so when he's had a rest I will start nagging him.

Being in the EU is good for UK jobs; look how it has saved the British Steel Industry - not! Steel is now rapidly going the same route as our former fishing industry. http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2015/10/18/save-our-steel/ Outside the EU a British Government would be free to do whatever is needed to preserve strategic industries such as steel. Inside the EU it is practically powerless. Redwood is suggesting (1) we simply break the EU rules, (2) that we try to skirt them, and that (3) we beg. There's a far simpler solution, and it has no downside whatsoever (unless you're a trough-guzzling politico)!

Not quite that simple Moe. The reason most people listened to Joyce and other German broadcasters (Lord Haw Haw) was that he provided information the UK government was covering up. It took a good while before the wartime government worked out that honesty (with a bit of patriotic spin) was the best policy. The present day BBC, in their PC stupor, has come very near to unlearning that simple lesson!

Umm.. it's raining and there's a sea of brollys! Anyways thanks for that keen observation Moe as I'm now certain that the RT TV coverage I saw must have been faked too. But, there's plenty of other video of Mutti being booed all over the place if you care to look. Doesn't Volks Verraterin mean something like Traitor to the People? Anyway, obviously more neo-nazi scum there, so ignore. Thing is this has obviously got to her, because she's completely changed her stance - again! http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/598924f0-555d-11e5-9846-de406ccb37f2.html#axzz3ogAxbc17. So, almost within days of unconditionally welcoming the World and its extended family, she's telling huge numbers of immigrants that they "must leave Germany". And, in a historical context, just a few short years back she was declaring that "German multiculturalism has 'utterly failed'". Though her recent open invite would only be applying the usual EU solution to things which patently aren't working: a lot more of the things which patently aren't working! There's method in this general about-face madness though, because when you are primed to do a Corbyn-McDonnell you can never be wrong, or blamed for anything; it's all the fault of the minions and the electorate (or the poor-b immigrants who've spent every cent they had) for not keeping up with the current party line. Joe Goebells? Naah - I think Uncle Joe could relate to that though!

...and neither is the rest of Europe! The only ones applauding are the apparatchiks and those with their snout in the EU trough. The interests of ordinary Germans no longer count, because there's the post-democratic-elites to do their thinking for them. But, most ordinary Germans no longer share the collective guilt complex that haunts Merkel and her cohorts. They just want to see the lives of their children improve, not get worse. They worked bloody hard for this, and it's being snatched away by political dogmatists. Very little reporting of this from the BBC here, and virtually no reporting of the building burnings.

M&S bras and panties guy, now on-line grocer, Stuart Rose at the launch of the "IN campaign" in London yesterday: There's huge logic in that - not! If I was a villain somewhere else in Europe I simply wouldn't be getting here because the UK government would once again have the right to say I couldn't come Mr Rose! But, I suspect you knew that already. If Stuart Rose is the best duplicitous Dave can muster to head up the IN campaign then they are in for a hard time. He isn't at all convinced himself, as you can read in much of the material he's formerly approved as a chief of of anti-EU group Business for Britain. That he's agreed to help out his chum Dave and other embattled big-business types is really just the old boy's network in full flow. His reward for this will undoubtedly be elevation to the peerage. So cosy that our Country has such clear and predictable paths to glory, but... it's as nothing compared with the Brussels feeding trough, and its unparalleled failed-domestic-politico's retirement system!

The evidence is building, and the swans are voting with their wings! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/weather/11926752/Britain-faces-longest-winter-in-50-years-after-earliest-ever-arrival-of-Siberian-swan.html

Whoops you didn't tell me you'd Tubed it! Anyway, I will leave it in the gallery now that it's uploaded here. Maybe you want to upload some hi-res stills?

Oh well, sub £100 didn't last too long! Still good value at £116 though. They probably sussed that they'd drastically under-priced them.

Seems like those Rakuten peeps - I think it was formerly play.com - have the 10" Linx Windows Tab for £99.75 just at the moment, and that includes shipping. That's a cool £50 less than eBuyer are discounting it at. http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/electricaldeals/product/LINX1032GB-39272/ The Linx is a fairly good product with a current generation (22nm) quad core Intel Atom CPU and 2GB of RAM. It's upgradeable to Windows 10 for free. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/linx-10-1291585/review Beware, there are still lots of older generation Atom CPUs around in stuff on sale, and they hit the battery far harder than 22nm ones. Total bargain I think!

Mee too! One of those regular "out by one" programmer's errors, you understand! Are you suing EE for name infringement yet?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/11910772/Final-Vulcan-bomber-flight-Crowds-urged-to-stay-away-from-XH558s-farewell.html I thought the comment "They don't cancel the Notting Hill (stab) Fest because too many people turn up." was amusing. All part of the modern PC Britain Experience, I suppose. Why don't they replace the RAF roundels with circles of yellow stars? Then there'd be oodles of free money to keep it flying!

Don't worry Willy, the Blairites will have him sorted well inside two years. They're the career politicos, now by far the largest majority of the PLP, and the ones with all the keys to the kingdom. Labour -> Two parties, one slogan. Tory -> One party, two slogans. LD's -> Zero party, infinite slogans. SNP -> We are the ONLY party, we call ALL the slogans, an' git ooot! Green -> Infinite parties, and... just a minute 'til I've finished this joint, it helps me see things much more clearly.

Labour can do it (£8); Osborne can do it (£9); John McDonnell can do it (£10); so my new party (MNP) is setting an £n + £1 minimum wage target, currently idling at just £11. Note: Here n stands for nuts (= the last nutty advance in the Elect-me-on-my-empty-promise:-I'm-the-most-profligate Game). What's my new party called? Well, I'm working on that, but in true political fashion I must paint it as something it's obviously not. So... I guess the word prudence needs to feature. One thing is for sure, the MNP (My New Prudentialists ?) will never ever disappoint and disillusion like the rest. That's because they'll be the archetypal party of protest, and never aspire to get anywhere remotely near real power, or facilitate any real change. But... if you want to feel good about yourself it will be by far the best party to join, and especially appealing to all wet-behind-the-ears youngsters. Oh - so that's another cardinal policy: lower the voting age to ten, then one year less than any other proposal. I think that's the real meaning of "progressive", don't you? Yes, I think I've got this politics malarkey cracked now; a real tragedy that this damascene moment has come forty years too late for a "rewarding" political career.

I think fourgee is right: it has to be digital. The barely visible panel joins, moire patterning with the camera's pixels on the right, and the total precision, give it away. And, of course the original artwork would be created on a computer, so everyone is right. Paper posters are SO 20th Century!

What impresses me is the total precision of that sign. Can you ever imagine pasting every one of those sheets so precisely at 3am on a wet and windy Yorkshire night, and in a state of blind anger too? Lisa is either a woman of steely cold precision, or one who has no compunction seeking out professionals. Either way it's a complete idiot male that's messing with her!
