    "COP26 is about to replace Davos as the event that most gratuitously frames the arrogance, hypocrisy and entitlement of the global ruling class.

    Their gigantic jets will descend upon Prestwick.

    And they will alight and tell us how we each need to reduce our global environmental footprint.

    Their motorcades will speed along their exclusive expressway.

    And they will get out, then inform us we have to do our bit by walking our kids to school. They will assemble for their plush banquet.

    And after dessert and coffee, they'll retire to put the finishing touches to speeches that lecture us about eating sustainably.

    Worst of all, they think no one will notice their green doublespeak.

    That this grotesque 'do as I say, not as I do' grandstanding will pass everyone by amid a kaleidoscope of polar bears, Greta Thunberg and homilies about our grandchildren."

    Woke is the roar of smug, entitled mediocrities everywhere: The insanity of a world where Thomas The Tank Engine, craft beers and even country walks are branded racist drives JULIE BURCHILL to despair
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...mug-entitled-mediocrities-JULIE-BURCHILL.html

    "First they came for our TV memories. Fawlty Towers (don’t mention the war), the Dukes Of Hazzard (a car decorated with a Confederate flag) and Songs Of Praise (whose producer likened people singing Rule Britannia to neo-Nazis celebrating gas chambers).

    Then they came for cartoons. On Disney’s streaming service, classics such as Dumbo, Peter Pan, Lady And The Tramp and The Jungle Book were preceded by the dire warning: ‘This programme includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.’

    They came for the museums. The Natural History Museum’s Charles Darwin collection was targeted because he had voyaged to the Galapagos Islands on ‘colonialist scientific expeditions’.

    And they came for the old houses. The National Trust published a list of nearly 100 of its properties which it claimed had links to slavery and colonialism.

    They came for full stops, which apparently intimidate young people when used in social-media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger and insincerity.

    They even came for rainbows, when a psychologist complained: ‘Not long after lockdown was imposed, I was pleasantly surprised to see a rainbow flag on my drive home from work.

    'However, as I saw more rainbow flags, I quickly realised these were not intended as support for the LGBTQ+ community, but rather as support for the NHS. I felt saddened, and disappointed.’ "

    "Master bedrooms were racist (master has slavery connotations). Chess was racist (because white always goes first). Brunch was racist, according to the actor Alan Cumming, because it reeks of ‘white privilege’.

    Sherlock Holmes was racist, the countryside was racist, fried chicken was racist, the anti-racist film In The Heat Of The Night was racist.

    Hawaiian shirts, camping, gardening, biking, hiking, jogging, mathematics, trees, botany, libraries, roads, lawns, soap, craft beers, peanut butter, dieting, wine, spelling, Thomas The Tank Engine, robots, interior design, surfing, hockey, the Smurfs – ALL RACIST!"

    Ambulances are queuing up outside A+E doors, probably because doctors are refusing to see their patients that they get paid for having on their books.

    Didn't Johnson say, he'd rather die than sell out British farmers?

    Anyone going to his funeral? Not me.

    Reading between the bullshit, British lamb will continue to be sold at the current expensive rate freshly packed with red tractor branding and frozen New Zealand lamb will be sold for a slightly cheaper mark up.

    The customer will have the choice , I have yet to buy imported frozen chlorinated chicken from America despite the hysteria from a few years back .

    Lamb will be sold as Lamb at the same price, it's up to the customer to decide what to buy.
    Nobody will sell Lamb cheaper just because they buy it cheaper.
