The book-cookers are working at pace to create a world record for the number of heatwave-involved deaths this year. There were none in May according to official numbers a while ago. Now, there are lotz. Our Labour government remains dead set against air conditioning and providing affordable electricity to run it on ideological rather than sensible grounds.

More insecurity
Britain is facing a dire winter with the Bank of England making noises about energy costs and a higher interest base rate. That means more Labour benefits voters and higher taxes to fund the benefits.
A policy of insecurity
Our wonderful government is not only neglecting energy security as well as national security, it’s also neglecting water security and putting the farming industry in danger.
Something to encourage?
157 potential illegals had to be fished out of the Channel and lugged back to France after their mega-dinghy caught fire. Was that due to someone trying to enjoy a disposable barbeque snack on the way to the land of All Things Good?
A spiral of overwhelm
A survey by the news provider Reuters offered a worrying result. News fatigue is a growing problem. The constant ranting of the doombugger brigade is making 40% of those surveyed avoid news from all sources altogether in an attempt to de-stress their lives.
Strangely selective
Its latest pronouncement indicates that the Scottish government is giving financial help only to places at risk of floods due to climate change.
Places at risk due to neglect of infrastructure maintenance and failure to dredge waterways are out of luck?

A.I is getting the blame for increasing the number of people who think they have ADHD. If you ask a bot if you are unable to pay attention, it will offer confirmatory ‘evidence’ to the exclusion of equally plausible alternatives coz that’s the way they work.
