  • Reminder of What it's All About

    2026-09-02

    This is an open letter as published on Karin's Substack.

    "It was never about sustainability... It is about total control of everyone, everything, the "monetisation" of everything (using a carbon credit system), on the earth, beneath it and above"

    Quite so. And it doesn't even have to work as advertised - it just needs the control mechanisms to be opaque enough that they cannot be effectively challenged and corrected. When "computer says no" to our attempt to buy a pound of minced beef, or a ticket to Ryde, or a diesel car that works, etc, how are we going to complain and get it reversed?

    Comment by Mike Yeadon (on Telegram):

    "This is a very good open letter, reasonably accurately describing what is going on. I highly doubt the addressees will even read it. Perhaps a good number of

  • Shuffling of Deckchairs on the Parliamentary Titanic?

    2026-09-02

    New pastures may beckon for Sir Keir.

    After all, with Russia obstinately refusing to knuckle under to plucky Ukraine (now reportedly conscripting women to swell their ever-shrinking front lines), perhaps the time is right for new leadership in NATO. And who better to take up the reins than legal eagle Sir Keir?

    That should sort them out.

    Still, where will they find another Labour "big beast" to plug the hole in Holborn and St Pancras constituency? After all, the biggest beast they could lay hands on last time was Andy Burnham (who?). But wait, what's his name again? Millibrain? No, that doesn't sound quite right...

    Well whatever his name is, he too may well be looking for pastures new, as the

  • The Modern Weaponising of the British State

    2026-08-26

    David Starkey, genuine National Treasure (being one of the very few still breathing who understands the British Constitution and how we got here) holds forth at the Institute of Economic Affairs (no it's not something out of "Yes Minister") on where it all went wrong.

    Plenty of food for thought here, including the clear (but unstated) idea that words are indeed spells. Well, if they act like spells, then they are indistinguishable from spells, especially when they come freighted with an assumed meaning that actually isn't appropriate to the particular usage...

    Maybe we should insist that all politicians should wear a conical hat to remind us.

    But judges don't get a free pass either:

    "... although you pay obeysance to the idea of democracy, it's too dangerous to allow it to work without controls... instead you have this marvellous thing, 'liberal democracy', which means.... democracy that is limited by

  • The Origins of American Medical Hegemony

    2026-08-26

    It is widely agreed that science advances by the scientific method, whereby all are engaged  in the search for truth and theories stand until they fall, either to logic, or to experimentation, or to observed behaviour that improves or even disqualifies the theory.

    Theories that stand the test of time gain wide acceptance but are not "proven" in the sense that they cannot possibly be improved by a better theory - that option is always recognised as a possibility.

    For this process to succeed, scientists must challenge the status quo. Thus was Newton's theory of gravity displaced by maverick Albert Einstein's theories of relativity.

    So one might deduce that the maverick who dares to challenge the status quo is indispensable to the advancement of true science. One might well be right, as this position is entirely logical.

    I do try to avoid repeating myself ad nauseam but then along comes such a good article that it really would be shame to overlook it.

    Dear Tom Forrester-Paton, yes you are a conspiracy theorist but how could you possibly be alone when there are so many conspiracies out there that everyone who actually uses that remarkable organ between their ears has to strictly ration their attention so as not to succumb to conspiracy-overload?

  • Climate Change is to Blame! Oh, Wait ...

    2026-08-14

    England is a tinder-box!

    Fires are everywhere!

    It must be Climate Change!

    Or maybe it's remote central government pushing policies that nobody wanted ("rewilding") in pursuit of a climate agenda imposed by yet another even more remote form of government (United Nations - WEF "partnership") that has no democratic legitimacy whatever.

    So the policy that was designed to stymie global warming has resulted in - more global warming, just uncontrolled rather than controlled.

    Whichever way you look at it, it's ridiculous.

    The evil is not just evil, it's evil centralised. You might charitably argue that it's not evil, it's incompetence - but the effect is the same, so call it by its effective nature.

    If control were localised then local people would get a say at the next elections

  • Worse than Ed Milliband? Only in the UK

    2026-08-07

    Renewables are still all the rage in the politics of the Undead Kingdom, and our politicians may only notice the problem when the lights go out in the Palace of Westminster. Some think not even then...

    Whether we are intent on saving the planet (it's managed without our assistance for millennia and the all predictions of impending doom have so failed to materialise - does that not tell us something?)

    Or whether we are merely intent on keeping warm this winter, perhaps we should pay attention to the practical effects of our headlong rush to completely upend our national grid.

  • But We Can't Eat Last Year's Sunshine!

    2026-07-12

    Sunshine grows the crops that we eat, our farm animals eat, and allows our countryside to thrive.

    When Ed Milibrain has covered the land with solar panels that produce power when we don't really need it (summer and long summer daytime) and frankly very little to none when we do need it (winter and long night-time) what will we eat in the winter when the crops we could have grown in the summer on that same land no longer exist? 

    It's not as though the power stations won't be there, since they will be required in the winter and the night-time, when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. They will just be sitting expensively idle in the summer daylight... they certainly won't be making up for the lost food supply.

    How will this increase our national resilience in an increasingly turbulent world?

    There are no prizes for the right answer, but anyone who can point up the absurdity of this policy of

  • Power Equals Prosperity

    2026-06-28

    It's simple.

    In a civilisation that inhabits an uncertain world, the supply of power makes the difference between carrying on almost as normal regardless of the salient ambient conditions, or having to keep shutting down because of them. 

    And for most practical purposes (especially in a world besotted by a completely irrational fear of "climate change") power means that delivered by wires. So our governments have simultaneously increased the loading on the grid whilst replacing reliable electricity generation with erratic wind and solar...  whilst also adding power-hungry AI data centres to the mix.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    What could possibly go right?

  • The Real Trouble with Technocracy

    2026-06-26

    Patrick Wood has been tracking those who would run the world by AI for some time.

    He's been right and is still right to do so - our understandings of AI and indeed "quantum computing" are still in their infancy, and whilst it is certainly true that the technocrats never had either the data or the science or the computing power to run the world, it was always feasible that they would simply pretend to do so and place us on the wrong end of a "computer says no" social control system that in effect could be neither realistically nor practically challenged.

    That feasibility still exists if we fall for it by unthinking and ill-advised compliance.

    "The system they wanted — a society run as an engineering problem, every resource metered, every flow optimized, every decision computed rather than argued — required a machine that could calculate the whole of an economy in real time. That machine did not exist"

    The Trouble With Pollitics as Established

    A thoughtful piece by Paul Cudenec encapsulates the problem with our current world.

    How should government be reformed?

    I find his homily very welcome indeed, and wish that we could actually begin to ask the right questions, rather than struggling to make sense of sundry answers to all the wrong questions about which governing bodies of all kinds are so keen to saturate our discussions.

  • The True Cost of Achieving ... Nothing of Significance

    2026-06-22

    For some years now I have bee convinced that Government is simply a vast money-laundering racket to filch what wealth the population at large has away and into the hands of the "elite" - those who want absolute control over everybody and everything.

    Don't believe me? 

    Don't remember the eye-watering sums fast-tracked by government for emergency supplies of PPE gear for "our" NHS, purchased regardless of cost from newly-formed supply companies which had seemingly suddenly sprung up for the purpose, owned by those who had no track record in supplying such goods? Goods which were inevitably sourced from China?

    Could they not have been sourced direct from China at considerably lower cost directly by the NHS itself?

  • Climate Change May be Fading, but Geopolitical Chaos Is Just Getting Started

    2026-05-19

    The IPCC may have had second thoughts but the crisis in the Gulf continues.

    Will 2026 become renowned for a Summer of Discontent as fuel prices rocket, a farming crisis takes hold, food shortages arise, pubs close, and the Starmer not-a-government stumbles incompetently onward regardless of anything but its own survival, even at the cost of allowing Ed Miliband to "take charge"? 

    "In office but not in power" springs to mind.

    If all this serves to finally wake the people to the notion that this kind of government by incompetent complexity has reached the end of its road, and needs replacing by something more simple, more direct, more honest, and even actually responsive to the basic needs of the people, then perhaps finally some good may emerge from the wreckage.
