They knew that when the rains came, it was a sign. When the rains departed, it was a sign. When the winds rose, it was a sign. When the winds fell, it was a sign. When in the land there was born at the midnight of a full moon a
The ability of apparently rational, intelligent adults to systematically blind themselves to the glaring obvious should never be underestimated. Especially when it comes to religion — and the most fact-immune religion currently plaguing the Earth is the Cult of Climate. Climate Cultists are almost uniformly and resolutely immune to facts which
Everything that’s a bit shite about EVs is a long and ever-growing list. As we saw last week, they even make tyres worse: the extra weight of the Damned Things wears tyres faster and creates more pollution. In fact, for smugmobiles whose sole boast is supposedly cutting pollution, EVs

There’s no such thing as a free lunch — and no such thing as free money. The cashed-up Boomers who thought they’d make a killing by feeding rooftop solar, subsidised by taxpayers, back into the grid soon came a gutser. Not only was the feed-in tariff taxable income, but,
Just when I thought I was running out of reasons to dump on EVs, they come up with the goods once again. Terrible range, battery fires, mowing down blind people, enslaving African kiddies, poisoning Chinese kiddies, ripping off Western taxpayers… is there anything good about these monstrosities?

If anyone was likely to ruin the solemnity and dignity of King Charles’ coronation, it wasn’t his errant son. Harry quietly, without fuss, took his assigned place in the Abbey as a non-working royal and that was that. But it was hard to keep a straight face throughout the
Fred Too A basic plank of public policy work is cost/benefit analysis. You might not be able to quantify all the costs and benefits of a proposal, but you should certainly be able to identify what they are and give them a weighting. You use these to assess if
