The Climate Cult Is an Exclusive Club

If there’s one thing that’s notable about the Climate Cult, it’s what an exclusive club it really is. Climate conferences burst with private jets and limousines. “School Climate Strikes” are awash with immaculate private school blazers and hyphenated surnames. Even Gaia-on-Earth, the Swedish Doom Goblin

Brit Women Don’t Want to See Todgers in Their Karzis

As Kellie-Jay Keen points out, the main reason that there hasn’t been an almighty backlash (so far) against the Transchluss is because the media and activists have conspired to frame it so effectively.

Chalk Another Win for Lockdowns

For some odd reason, Brits have an almost fetishistic dependency on the NHS, despite it being frankly pretty crap. And it’s getting worse: the percentage of people waiting more than sixty days for treatment for cancer, for instance, has got steadily worse in the past decade. Yet, almost in
