Rather than build almost 30 million electric cars over the next 10 years why dont we just maintain the cars we've got and protect the environment by leaving all that cobalt, lithium & nickel etc. in the ground?

The UK government currently allocates about £66 billion pa for defence. The MOD employs approximately 238,700 personnel, of which 57,370 are civil servants. Why on earth do we need one civil servant for every four military personnel?

Packed village hall meeting in the Fife village of Auchtertool to discuss the proposed massive 600MW AI data centre right next to the village and on scenic farmland - that is estimated to consume so much energy - equivalent to half of Scotland’s entire energy consumption. No environmental impact assessment has been provided by Fife Council. This must be stopped, No one voted for this.
Tonight's meeting in Auchtertool about the 600MW AI data centre. Fifers are furious. Looks like Fife Council fast-tracking data centre despite it: - Consuming half of Scottish household electricity - No Environmental Impact Assessment EIA - Looking like it has landed from space

The Great British net zero con-trick of Drax. The Labour government is trying to force through an extension that would give Drax an estimated £1.8bn in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11bn it has already received. Drax has burned an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Burning wood creates 18% more CO2 emissions than coal. And here’s the con trick: Drax is a sneaky way of exporting our CO2 emissions. We pay billions of pounds to cut down ancient forests in the US and Canada, ship the wood across the Atlantic in diesel tankers, then burn it in a Yorkshire-based power station. And here’s the kicker - the CO2 emissions tally is not counted against the country that burns it, but the country that grows it. So Drax emissions are counted against the countries who grow and export the wood for Drax - like Canada and USA…not UK who burn it. So the UK can reduce CO2 figures by importing the burning wood grown elsewhere. A gigantic net zero con-trick that is the exact opposite of ‘environmentally friendly’.

Colour me shocked. Again.
More than 100 new datacentres in the UK plan to burn gas to generate electricity, some potentially doing so permanently. ▪️No net zero for the data centres. ▪️Net zero enforced on us plebs (probably to enable the data centres to burn more energy). The whole thing is a scam.

The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption. These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure. ▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons. ▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around ‌the ⁠same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total. ▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems. ▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth. ▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect. Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.

Replying to @NadiaWhittomeMP
I think the divide and rule analysis is correct, but it's the establishment that's pitching everyone against each other (based on colour/religion/class). The two-tier policing and justice system is designed to disempower white people and stoke racial tension. I also think that your analysis of the Sikh and Muslim faiths is missing the historical reality of the two distinct groups (again to create tension and misunderstanding). Sikhs were fighting the Islamic Mughal regime from 1621 to 1788. Out of ten Sikh Gurus, two were brutally tortured and killed by the Mughal regime for refusing to convert to Islam. In response to Mughal tyranny, Guru Gobind Singh mandated the Kirpan in 1699. Defying Mughal laws that banned non-Muslims from carrying arms. Sikhs have fought for Britain in both world wars (voluntarily) 150,000 in WW1, and 350,000 in WW2. They have been part of British society for a long time. As for the Kirpan, most I've seen are small, blunt, curved decorative artefacts (they can't even cut cheese). They are harmless. However, there is no reason (religious or otherwise) to carry the sort of weapon wielded by Vickrum Digwa. What does need to be addressed is woke two-tier policing. That's what's angered people and triggered the avoidable racial tension. But I also think that's what the establishment wants. If we're all fighting each other, we're not looking up to see the globalists from every country who are screwing everyone over. I don't agree with any type of racism (towards white people, blacks or anyone else). Instead of addressing the root cause (systemic anti-white bias) the system itself has cultivated a hostile environment that encourages the worst traits of human behaviour. The answer is non-violent action, open debate, and calling out the psyops that are being deployed against us, not only in the UK but across the western world.

This 600MW AI data centre is proposed on scenic farmland by the village of Auchtertool, between Kircaldy and Cowdenbeath in Fife. The size of the data centre enormous and as you can see from the maps, it dwarfs the neighbouring village of Auchertool. It has been calculated that this data centre will use the same amount of energy in a year than half of Scotland’s households, or 20% of Scotland’s total energy use. So the energy use of Achtertool data centre when built will use in a year the same energy as 1.34 million households – or 53% of Scottish households. There will now be a period of three to four weeks consultation period when the public can comment or object to the planning application. Here’s the online link to leave a comment: planning.fife.gov.uk/online/…

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government. Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
The UK Government has banned two prominent left-wing US speakers from entering the country ⬇️ thenational.scot/news/261536…

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this." That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon. Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 HUGE: Trump had a fiery, expletive-filled call with Netanyahu, calling him “fucking crazy” and yelling “What the fuck are you doing?” Sources briefed on today's call tell Axios it was profanity heavy and one of the worst between the two men since Trump returned to office. Per the officials, Trump told the Israeli leader, "You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me," accused him of ingratitude, and warned that hitting Beirut would isolate Israel further. Trump also objected to the civilian toll and to leveling buildings to kill one commander, then put the brakes on the Beirut operation. His anger, the sources say, was driven by Netanyahu's escalation threatening to blow up the Iran talks. Netanyahu's office says its position is unchanged. A U.S. official claims Trump flattened him on the call. Source: Axios
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇱🇧 Trump claims victory on Lebanon: "I asked Bibi not to go into a major raid of Beirut. He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi! I also spoke with Representatives of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting. Let's see how long that lasts. Hopefully ETERNITY!" There's a direct contradiction sitting in plain sight. Moments ago Netanyahu said publicly: "The IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon" and threatened to bomb Beirut if Hezbollah didn't stop. Now Trump says Netanyahu "turned his troops around." "Let's see how long that lasts" is the most honest line in the post. Every Lebanon ceasefire this war has produced has been violated within hours. Trump knows it. That's why he's already hedging. If it holds, it removes Iran's biggest objection and clears the path to the Strait agreement. If Netanyahu's "operate as planned" wins out over Trump's "turned his troops around," Iran walks and we're back to square one.
