Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

Great Britain wastes ยฃ180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's ยฃ733,646,403 so far this year! wastedwind.energy

Hi VS, check this out from Richard Murphy today.
The folk would have been OK with "Opposing Genocide" it appears but not the "Support" part.

What is the cost of means testing winter fuel allowance? Rachel Reeves posted this on Twitter this lunchtime: This means 70% of all pensioners are going to have the winter fuel allowance restored after not having it for one year. 30% will miss out. How...

Reeves can't do her maths.
It will cost MORE to means test than to give WFA to all pensioners!

Reeves is a total mathematical dunce!
She's announced a reinstatement of the Winter Fuel Allowance but adds that it will be "means tested"
According to economist Richard Murphy it will cost more to means test than to allow for all pensioners.

He refuses to call it genocide โ€” because even acknowledging the risk would trigger legal duties and raise serious questions about complicity and criminal liability.

Instead we get mealy-mouthed theatrics from this PM.

It is a genocide and the UK is actively facilitating it.

So... Where is the increase in Yes support coming from I hear you ask?
Well, further growth among younger voters is backed up by a continued steady increase in Yes support from the 55+ age group. This latter group is important because it is large and tends to come out to vote.

There's no way for unionists to put a positive spin on the latest #Indyref2 Norstat poll. Even with the No voting figures boosted by 2014 weighting, Yes leads by 7 pts. The unweighted sample has Yes more then 20 pts ahead. And when we reweight to take away the 2014 No bias, Yes leads by 14 pts.

Boldness is needed to challenge the far right and deliver independence We need to brace ourselves for the very real and alarming prospect that the frothing รผber-yoons of Reform UK come in second in next weekโ€™s Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse Holyrood by-electiโ€ฆ

My latest blog piece, a bold and radical left wing political offer is needed to defeat the far right overcome apathy, and deliver Scottish independence

The Daily & Sunday Telegraph & many other right-wing propaganda platforms in the UK have totally lost it. The below has ZERO connection with real life & the pressures 99.9% of people face in the UK. Rather this is privilege & the entitlement of a pampered class whining.
