Craving the City vote a poll driven Prime Minister cancels UK meat and dairy diet Pastoral farmers have emerged as the easiest targets for the Glasgow climatists. British prime minister Boris Johnson has proclaimed that Britain will eat “alternative proteins,” instead of red meat. There are strong indications that Australasian pastoralists are being softened up with the pre-Glasgow plugging of cattle and sheep as villains behind climate warming. Worse still, Mr Johnson’s vendetta against pastoral farmers targets dairy products as well as meat. Cheese is included on his list of global warming endangered products scheduled to be replaced by protein…

Cancelled Subs believed bomb-proof in newly reinforced Green-Climate-Anti Nuclear shelter France really did learn at the same time as everyone else that its flagship technology deal to build Australia’s submarines was cancelled. The reason was that France’s channels kept telling Paris that the Australian government would not dare to confront its electorate with anything nuclear in any shape or form. The more Paris interrogated its own channels the stronger emerged this anti nuclear theme and with it the belief in the determination of Scott Morrison government to stick doggedly with the diesel submarines on order. These channels included France’s own…

Maori vocabulary in broadcasts shrouded absence of special inoculation initiative and hoodwinked multiculturalists Auckland is a merchant city and New Zealand’s largest metropolis. Many of its more prosperous and educated citizens were thrilled when Maori phrases and words were routinely inserted into official situation reports on the virus threat and even to the extent of a new name for their city, a Maori one. They assumed that this display of diversity-in-difficulty was also a sign that politicians and public health officials had an operational plan for a by now obviously vulnerable segment of the public health community. It turned out…

Glasgow Extravaganza Tempts Climate Zealots to make ruinous pledges to United Nations Politicians and their entourages converging on Glasgow for Cop26 threaten to pile additional economic handicaps on their countries as they showily compete with each other in displays of climate warming zealotry. United Nations which is staging Cop26 will be the main beneficiary just because it diverts attention away from its own failure in regard to the real crisis, the pandemic, which it failed to intercept and then stonewalled in determining its origin. Europe is facing an energy shortage due low fuel stockpiles following last winter, which was colder…

Retrofitting French Atomic Subs was a customisation too far The new AUKUS military alliance concludes the most bizarre construction deal in modern military procurement, the one for Australia to retro re-equip French nuclear submarines with diesel engines. The compromise was itself powered by the most high minded of moral objectives blended with the most practical of political imperatives. The moral objective was to protect Australia from anything nuclear. The political one was old fashioned electioneering based on keeping jobs there too. What a difference a few years make. Five in the case of the backwardly compatible subs. In 2016 the…

National Leader Caustic comments on Covid Clinicians cracked media indifference Microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles presented Judith Collins with one of the very few high value targets available to the leader of the Opposition. Mrs Collins let fly with her “big fat hypocrite” missile after someone dobbed in the New Zealander of the Year for being away from home at the beach. And not wearing a mask. Judith Collins targeted Dr Siouxsie Wiles (https://www.mscnewswire.co.nz/page2/item/19280-phillida-perry-s-siouxsie-the-virus-documents-dr-wiles-catching-mass-resentment-for-covid-containment.html) only a few weeks after taking a swipe at Dr Ashley Bloomfield the nation’s director general of health. Mrs Collins lashed out at the duo because strange…

Key officials distance themselves from assumption-laden project lacking surprise, deception, contingency The Kabul evacuation shows hallmarks of a very large scale endeavour that veered sharply onto an unanticipated course. The most obvious sign is that nobody wants to be responsible for it, or own it. This was demonstrated by key people being on holiday at the time. This distancing from a dodgy project was also evident in the absence of any geographical central point of control such as a situation room. A common factor in all very large scale debacles is that of the creeping assumption. There is growing evidence…

It was Only Concussion diagnosis dogs brutal nation building team sport Like a storm cloud gathering over a grandstand long dated football injuries liability looms over the professional contact sport. Professional personal injury sports liability is the last taboo. It is literally too painful to contemplate. This threatening cloud began in the United Kingdom with a group claim on behalf of 40 retired professional football, soccer version, players all said to be victims of early onset dementia, suddenly turned ominous also in the football, rugby version. It emerged that well over 100 former professional rugby players were going down the…

Islamists understood that professed horror of imperialism was priority among posturing virtue influencers The Taliban understood the total preoccupation of United States influencers with their need to exhibit a revulsion for colonialism and imperialism. The Taliban knew that given this constantly-expressed righteousness they would be believed in any undertakings they gave over the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan. They knew that the political class requirement to display at any opportunity at all this contempt for a colonial past outweighed other contemporary human rights attitudes, most notably even those centred on women, and especially their education. It was hardly even a…

Winston Churchill Cancelled in big chill-induced doctrinal diversions The iron grip that United Nations has on the body politic became evident in the aftermath of the coldest day in New Zealand’s year during which there were widespread power failures, outages. These were caused by power shortages. But attention instead was focussed on the IPCC report centred on global warming. The government’s own broadcasting channel TV 1 sidelined both the coldest day and the ensuing power cuts to give a triumphant priority to the IPCC report on global warming. In the ensuing debate in the nation’s parliament politicians of all stripe…
