Martin's Estoppel Gambit - End of Council Tax?

Martin Geddes continues his siege of Durham County Council, bringing up the legal Trebuchet to fling his Estoppel Notice to the miscreants cowering in their Council Offices.
Which elicited a response that was essentially as expected.
Which in turn enabled him to deliver what he believes should be the coup de grâce.
This would mean an end to any further court actions, so it may be some time before we hear any further news on this front, since it will probably just fade away (although he may not get his bins emptied if he moves back into their fiefdom).
If so, then this relatively simple legal process could be used by anybody ... with consequences that would be interesting indeed for the future of local government.

Talky Tice Wants to Discuss "The Future"

Dear Richard, the debate has already been had and successive Governments have committed to reduce immigration "to the tens of thousands".
Just do it.
A new "national conversation" to kick the whole topic away into the long grass of political chicanery is premature.
Is there any point in talking with politicians who demonstrate clear intent to break that promise? Should we not now demand delivery on that promise before any further talk?
Is Richard showing his true colours - controlled opposition?
It's your decision.

Why Should We British Worry About German Politics?

Our newspapers and media stations don't report on what they don't see as relevant, but German politics, like seemingly all nations' politics these days, is apparently controlled by the WEF-UN "partnership". It is very similar to British politics, in as much as the political classes are all parroting the Climate Change propaganda as though they unquestioningly believe it. Diversity is good, except for diversity of opinion, and especially diversity of politics.
It's a religion, or perhaps more accurately the biggest cult we have ever encountered, whereby the cult leaders brainwash everybody to believe (and obey) their leadership unquestioningly, and heretics (those who do ask awkward questions) are not tolerated. They have the cheek to call this new form of politics "democracy". "Autocracy" might be closer to the truth.
Germany is the stand-out example of a leadership that brooks no opposition and leads the nation to penury and worse, although the rest of Europe (especially EU members) seems to be close behind them. But then Germany under Frau Merkel was the leader of the EU, as Greece and Yanis Varoufakis can attest.
So far they have restricted themselves to labelling their heretics "right-wing extremists", but who knows what the future may bring?
"We have, quite simply, descended into a DDR-lite regime in the space of less than ten years, without anybody noticing and with the full collusion of the media and the government"
Complete with copious assistance from the secret services apparently.
"Criticising German state media, as I do constantly here and as millions of Germans do every day, is enough to make you a Right-wing extremist"
Eugyppius reports for The Daily Sceptic.
Is Britain any different? Or do we just do it more discreetly, so as not to alarm the worker bees?
Fight the Climate or Fight Putin?

The penny is dropping, so to speak.
We can fight the climate (and lose!) or fight Mr Putin (and lose). Or of course we can pretend to fight both, but everybody would see through that ... wouldn't they?
War requires energy and in quantity, but "green" doesn't deliver.
And it isn't merely about steel, although that comes into it depending upon whether Mr Putin would allow us time to prepare.
But why would he? He wouldn't. He strikes me as being very rational, particularly about defending Russia and the Russian Federation. So unless we believe that he is only bluffing about defence (which flies in the face of his track record so far) we would be well advised to negotiate a proper defence understanding with him - you stay out of our back yard (which doesn't include the Ukraine) and we will (for a change) stay out of yours. And allow "mutual" inspection ...
We negotiated appropriate treaties with the USSR in times past, so why not with the Russian Federation?
Neville Chamberlain famously returned from Germany with a bit of paper proclaiming "Peace in Our Time" at a time when Britain had plenty of home-produced coal and steel and an extensive Navy - but we still needed to deploy "diplomacy" to secure a temporary peace.
Such a negotiation might be done in bad faith, to buy time to prepare for a real war, as were the Minsk Agreements. But Mr Putin certainly well remembers the old adage "fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me", so it does seem that the time for negotiation may have expired.
Still, the only alternative to "war war" remains "jaw jaw".
"China’s coal-fired economy is why it can readily build its new navy, just as we once did"
Prof Gwythian Prins explains for the hard of comprehension.

Financial advisers and their newsletters are not normally regarded as founts of political truth, being not primarily concerned with politics, but with investment opportunities.
That seems to have changed, and I don''t apologise for featuring this piece today, since it is 99.9% about the current state of world politics (and you can pass over the 0.1% investment note without really noticing).
Why so? The truth these days is that political overreach has far more sway over investment returns than the usual economic and commercial factors. In fact, almost everything you can think of has been politicised for better or for worse, including your sex at birth, your pronouns, "pandemic preparedness" and climate "science" (both transparently invented for control purposes) ...
Whilst it is true that one Nigel Farage is associated with this newsletter, it's not true (as far as I believe) that he actually wrote this article (although he may well agree with much of it) - that accolade goes to Nick Hubble, with whom I find myself in regular agreement as he doesn't hesitate to dig down to those vital first principles and underlying assumptions to draw the logical conclusions.
He doesn't exactly promise a smooth ride to peace and prosperity.
