I think it's fair to say that this Aussie gent has a few reservations about green energy. Puts his points across very well I think, as only an Aussie could.

I'm guessing that's his son looking on proudly, lost for words.

Fergal Sharkey is all over the water industry crisis and if what he says in this interview is correct, renationalising the water industry could be done at no cost.
And I love the way he talks to Ed Balls in a manner that I interpret him saying “Will you shut the **** up and just listen.”

Following on from what Fergal Sharkey said about renationalising the water industry, this guy has said something similar. You can check out his credentials under the video.

People with a legitimate reason to protest?
"Two out of every five people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had been previously reported to the police for domestic abuse, the Guardian can disclose.
Police data released under freedom of information (FoI) laws shows that 41% of 899 people arrested for taking part in the violent disorder last July and August had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.

For those arrested by one police force, this figure was as high as 68%.

Previous offences include actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, stalking, breach of restraint and non-molestation orders, controlling coercive behaviour and criminal damage."

Nah. All two-tier. Bloody anti-white Labour! A man can’t even beat his own wife in peace these days!

Trumps opens mouth and talks bollocks. Despised by a big majority in Scotland.
"You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds, and if they're stuck in the ocean, ruining your oceans… Stop the windmills, and also, I mean, there's a couple of things I could say, but on immigration, you'd better get your act together or you're not going to have Europe anymore."

Fair play to the woman with the Trump is a **** sign.

Just coming to the end of a book, that has a “rogue USA president” and I think the author is taking the piss a little with the President’s spokesperson being called Kelly Levat, “a petite blonde, supposedly a devout Christian who wore a gold crucifix nestled between her ample cleavage and who did not hide her contempt for journalists”.
Trying to think who that reminds me of.

Some very interesting facts about the type of people who attend the anti asylum seekers “protests” (riots) outside hotels housing them and the progress being made by Labour in reducing the number.


Figures reveal that two in five of the 899 people arrested during the violence had previously been reported for domestic violence.

The number of people living in asylum hotels was down to 32,345 by the end of March this year from 56,042 in September 2023.

If Labour can continue to reduce the numbers in the hotels, at this rate, Farage will no longer have a policy to hang his hatred on, at the next election.

I posted similar re domestic violence but didn't link to the article.

Donald Trump's meeting with Kier Starmer at his Turnberry Hotel was delayed today, after it took the President 30 minutes to realise that wasn't a butler stood next to him.

Trump being coherent as ever at his golf course …

“Now, this is a brand new building, but if you look outside, it’s equally opulent and beautiful. And we didn’t do that by spending, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars in surrounding a railing underneath the area that you’re painting …

“Brand new, beautiful plywood, very expensive, wrapped around a figurine or a railing to preserve it. But you don’t have to do that. You can just wrap a cloth. They call it a blanket. And you don’t even have to do that if you’re careful when you’re doing the ceiling. But I don’t know what they did. They take down the ceiling and put up a new ceiling, and the new ceiling had no opulence, or they fixed the ceiling, but I would say that all I need is a good plaster and a can of paint.”

Absolutely ****ing bonkers. Here's an article from Substack from a series - What Did Trump Do Today? Which contains your quote and more drivel
