On the issue of ship clouds and what they are, this is what NASA's Earth Observatory had to say in 2018:

'Some of the pollution particles generated by ships (especially sulfates) are soluble in water and serve as the seeds around which cloud droplets form. Clouds infused with ship exhaust have more and smaller droplets than unpolluted clouds.'

The Citizens' Advice Bureau making sense of the Equality Act 2010, by describing the 'belief in man-made climate change' as philosophical and, therefore, a protected characteristic.

Dr Simon Goddek on the benefits of Vitamin D, and associated vitamins and minerals.

It would be reasonable to assume his information is close to the mark, because he has been banned from Twitter for posting it there previously!

Iain Davis on a selection of the gigantic whoppers told by those selling the climate hysteria.

This is very good on detail, and I should imagine a useful reference during the many occasions upon which we are required to deflate the narrative.

On the off chance that you have not (yet) read Schedule 24 of the Finance Act 2021, this picture shows you how the 'penalty points' system works for late returns.

Apart from giving the distinct feeling that HMRC is now run by a school administrator, this is just another instance of nudging towards acceptance of a social credit system.

You may recall that HMRC have tried to make all VAT submissions 'digital' (which, in effect, has merely added a third-party agent completely needlessly).

Though very basic at the moment, these would appear to be the efforts of one government department in normalising a 'digital' framework which gives 'penalty points' and removes them for good behaviour.

From 2017, Matt Ridley on the fraud that is 'wind power'.

'Even after 30 years of huge subsidies, wind power provides only slightly more than zero energy to the world.'

Even if a few years old, this is full of facts that may come in handy.

Press release:
UK cements 10-year-partnership with Moderna in major boost for vaccines and research

The partnership with Moderna will see a new Innovation and Technology Centre in the UK, which will create more than 150 highly skilled jobs and have the capacity to produce up to 250 million vaccines per year in the event of a pandemic.

The deal is also a major boost for UK health research and will see the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) working with Moderna to ensure early vaccine development, supporting the G7 mission to get from variant to vaccine in 100 days.

The centre will offer NHS patients access to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines that can protect against multiple variants. It will also have the potential to develop vaccines targeting a range of other illnesses, such as flu and RSV, pending the usual process of the regulatory assessments and licencing.

Corporate report:
100DM: how the UK is contributing to the global mission to develop pandemic-fighting tools within 100 days
Published: 7th August 2023

The UK government is continuing to strengthen its commitment to a One Health approach. A One Health approach is intended to recognise the interdependencies between humans, animals and the environment.

For example, the UK is leading innovation in pandemic surveillance. This includes scoping additional means to build surveillance including through a networked, integrated One Health surveillance capability across the 4 nations of the UK through a UKHSA-led National Biosurveillance Network (NBN) (2).

The data from the NBN will underpin the Cabinet Office’s Biothreats Radar, which will provide decision makers with a comprehensive picture of known and developing biological threats.

Thoughts on the pentagram in general and, in particular, on church buildings?

'In Christianity, the five-pointed star has also been a symbol for the five holy wounds that Christ suffered on the cross. These five holy wounds have been used symbolically in art, sacred music and heraldry since the middle ages, albeit not always characterised as a star.'

When considering the damage the NHS has done to itself, and to the health of the nation, how much time have you spent thinking about its origins? Was it accepted by all as the right path, or not, and who saw what coming?

Never let a good emergency go to waste.

Cabinet Papers at the National Archives: 'To some extent the Second World War changed peoples attitudes. The need to treat large numbers of civilian casualties from bombing raids gave people access to health care they had never experienced before. The state had also controlled almost every aspect of people's lives during the conflict, so the idea of government looking after citizens' health did not seem strange. Government ministers noticed that as a result of rationing, the health of the poor had actually improved.'

I was lucky enough to meet up with Ben Rubin last week and, during our discussions, the subject of 'muscular Christianity' came up. It reminded me, very much, of Eric Liddell's brand of faith (at least, as portrayed by Ian Charleson whilst playing him in Chariots of Fire) and how his short life served as such an inspiration for so many.

A fictional representation though it may be, this clip from the film has always been one to raise the hairs on the back of the neck. What do you think about how you 'run a straight race'?

This is a very thought-provoking article on 'Human Rights', by Margaret Anna Alice, which I would encourage you to read.

👇🏼

https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/on-the-proposed-replacement-of-the-human-rights-act-1998-with-a-modern-bill-of-rights

Whilst I take a different view from her on the value of the Human Rights Act (HRA) 1998, it is fascinating to consider the ways in which UN doctrine is used by states.

Margaret cites the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, from 1948, in which there is no suggestion that such rights should be limited or qualified. And yet, this is precisely what states do to their citizens' rights, all the time, all over the world (which, in the UK, is justified by the HRA 1998). Contrast this with the absolutely slavish adherence to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, which have been written into the 'planned activities' of all government departments and shape all parts of national and local government policy.

Dr John Clauser, a Nobel prize winner in physics, has turned out to be the wrong type of scientist. He has declared the climate emergency narrative to be 'a dangerous corruption of science', which means he is very unlikely to find himself on the end of even the very longest of bargepoles that the commercial media have at their disposal.
