AI and Net Zero as somewhat incompatible stablemates.

'But some countries know all too well how energy hungry these facilities are. There is currently a moratorium preventing the construction of new data centres in Dublin. Nearly a fifth of Ireland’s electricity is used up by data centres, and this figure is expected to grow significantly in the next few years – meanwhile Irish households are reducing their consumption.

The boss of National Grid said in a speech in March that data centre electricity demand in the UK will rise six-fold in just 10 years, fuelled largely by the rise of AI. National Grid expects that the energy required for electrifying transport and heat will be much larger in total, however.'

How long before the dogs themselves are considered a biosecurity risk? I can almost see Christine Middlemiss dusting off her testing kit.

'The dogs are used in Italy to deter wolves, but their large presence means that they can be trained by farmers in the UK to fend off birds of prey, foxes, and other predators.'

Then, immediately: 'COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israel’s ambassadors from Ireland and Norway to immediately return to Israel, as Norway said it would recognize a Palestinian state and Ireland was expected to do the same.'

CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act passes HoR 216 to 192.

I forget whether Rishi still subscribes to this particular Telegram channel, but he should read this with interest:

'Background:

Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, a CBDC is a digital form of sovereign currency that is designed and issued by a central government and transacts on a digital ledger that is controlled by that government. In short, a CBDC is government-controlled, programmable money, that if not designed to emulate the privacy protections of cash, could give the federal government the ability to surveil Americans’ transactions and suppress politically unpopular activity.'

“For more than two years, we have worked to educate, grow support, and pass this important legislation, which prevents unelected bureaucrats from issuing a financial surveillance tool to fundamentally undermine our American values. My legislation ensures that the United States' digital currency policy remains in the hands of the American people so that any development of digital money reflects our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free market competitiveness. This is what the future global digital economy needs. We are proud to have led this effort and thank my colleagues for their support,” Congressman Emmer said.

Due to the calling of the General Election, all live petitions will cease on Thurs 30 May. They will not start again.

Petitions can only be started again, from scratch, after the election.

This is a part of the process referred to as democracy.

During my time in the army, which coincided with a period of frenetic and ill-judged operational activity, I heard and saw some pretty extraordinary things.

None, perhaps, compares with this, from Hamish de Bretton-Gordon (of respirator fame) in The Telegraph:

"Those young adults who benefited so much from lockdown and furlough – their health and jobs preserved by an enormous national effort – should be give an opportunity to thank their elders for their sacrifices."

The subtext of this lunatic's article is that we need as many young'uns in combats as possible, because the Russians will make light work of the existing armed forces.

After a delay of nearly a year, the figures for abortion for 2022 were finally released on 23 May 24.

The delay was said to be due to a problem processing forms. It coincides with a rise of 17% on the previous year.

The ramblings of de Bretton-Gordon have provoked a shocked and well-justified response. I should follow up by making it clear that my view is that he does not, in any way, represent the values of those serving in the armed forces. This would appear to be exactly why he is used by the Telegraph and the BBC in such a manner.

By coincidence, I discovered last night an action which exemplifies the regard with which those I served alongside held each other. A former platoon sergeant of mine had had chronic and deteriorating kidney trouble, and he had been on dialysis for some time. Earlier this month, a brother officer had donated a him a kidney. Both are recovering well.

The suggestion that a version of national service is, somehow, a fair trade for the way in which the government (and their willing assistants) trashed the lives of the young during a staged pandemic is one of the most ill-judged and abhorrent things I have ever read.

Standby for D-Day 80 to be used as a great push for this particular narrative. There are approximately 5.5m 18 to 24 year-olds in the UK, and the armed forces stands at fewer than 140,000 at the moment. National service is not deliverable, in any practical sense, under current conditions. This is not to say it will not be attempted, but the percentage of 18 year-olds that could be absorbed by it is very small. More to come on this.

Another significant item affected by the General Distraction on 4 Jul:

World news story
UK statement at 77th World Health Assembly on IHR amendments

UK statement on adoption of International Health Regulations amendments. Delivered on 1 June 2024 at the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva.

"Every Member State, including the UK, now has the right under the Regulations to evaluate each and every amendment before making a sovereign choice of whether to accept or opt out of each of - or all of - the amendments.  

In the UK, we have a general election on 4th July and we are therefore in a formal pre-election period. It will be for the elected government to make that choice."

I remember going to a Measles Party when I was young, a girl Martine had it and was sent around the Estate to play with all the kids. NONE of us caught Measles.

An important and detailed piece in TCW, by Sally Beck, about the latest round of gigantic lies exposed in the pharmaceutical industry:

"Dr Wakefield agrees. He said: ‘The whole covid saga will turn out to be one of the greatest mistakes that science and experts and carpetbaggers and the pharmaceutical industry have ever made. It has led to almost a complete loss of trust in public health and the pharmaceutical industry.

‘This is why these films are so important. You can provide a series of facts that make people think. There is a silver lining.’

Merck, the CDC, the FDA and GlaxoSmithKline were all contacted for comment. None has been received."

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more annoying, I have just heard Nigel Farage say "Let's make Britain great again".

I hope he is planning on at least one session of spray-tan before Independence Day.
