In Plot A, the Taxpayer-funded BBC has inserted a storyline into its most popular soap opera about a man who after leaving prison converts to Christianity to find “peace”. “EastEnders’ Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell), will explore the Christian faith as he adapts to life on the outside after being
Having wandered into a community FB page one day I saw what I thought was a humorous way to get a certain message across. Now that clearly was not taken in the locality of the community page as there are no snowy mountains within sight, it actually doesn’t even
One has to wonder about the motivations of some people.

The MAGICC calculator was developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research under funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the acronym stands for the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse-gas Induced Climate Change).

Normally the answer to that question would revolve around whether you had been out playing in the mud with your 4×4 or the time elapsed since you last visited the carwash or got out the bucket and cloth. But no, in the brave new world of climate idiocy, ‘dirty’
The single-use government’s latest neuron-free generational moment proposal is a tax on internal combustion engines to bribe the gullible into buying un-green electric vehicles. What happened in the UK when they tried this? Did no one think to fly over to London on a fact-finding mission? The UK bribe
Fascinating visualization from the clever folk at Visual Capitalist The economist John Maynard Keynes famously called gold a “barbarous relic”, suggesting that its usefulness as money is an artifact of the past.
