And Then, Climate Incoming...

   I see the media are gearing-up for the next scare thingy as the climate is starting to creep back towards the top ‘news’ item.
   Wot did we have today? Some story about an iceberg breaking in half and some fellow going by the unlikely name, John Curry declaring that we’re ‘moments’ away from being ‘beyond catastrophic’ with temperatures set to rise by four degrees.
   Bring it on I say as round here, where I be, a four degree rise right now would get the early morning temperature up to one or two degrees above freezing and that would go a small way to making it feel a tad more spring like...       
   You think this is wot the pandemidodad has all been about? Just a trial to see how far us lot down here can be led, directed, told wot to do, wot we’ll accept as a given without question and how easy it could be to silence any and all dissent ready for the great climate emergency restrictions?
   If so, I’d suggest it’s been a stunning success beyond their wildest dreams  and I’d also bet that the restrictions and lockdowns of the past year, after a few months of savage save the world restrictions, will be looked back on with sad longing like the wonderous times of, like, freedom.
   In other news I see the NHS, blessed be its name, is way behind on various treatments. Hay, you can’t produce all they Look-At-Media offerings and be expected to be looking after sick folk as well, now can you? Anyhoo, the government are going to throw yet another shed load of lolly at em; that would be us then. Going by the amounts mentioned that’s a huge number of new Diversity and Inclusion managers to be hired right there.

Quote;  H.L. Mencken.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.”
