PMQ's - 2nd December 2009

So, the first question session since power officially passed to Brussels. What will the folk now equivalent to County Councillors have on their mind? Parking? Dustbins? Dog poo in the local park..?

Let's find out with this, the all new Nord de la Manche regional county council leaders questions...

David Cameron (the BluLabour leader of the Conservatives) started by asking a question about Afghanistan. Gormless waffled out some rubbish that we've heard a million times over in the last eight years. Cameron followed up by asking whether our troops might come out of Afghanistan by 2010 or 2011. Gormless responded with an answer that sounded somewhat like 'how long is a piece of string?'. Cameron then moved on to the economy and asked Gormless to confirm that Britain was the last member of the G20 to come out of recession. Cue more ridiculous nonsense passed back and forth, until - to whoops of delight of the Labour benches - Gormless declared that "the more [Cameron] speaks, the less he says". Cameron asked a lightweight question on inheritance tax - Gormless didn't bother replying.

WINNER: Gordon Brown. And how sad is that? Worst economic situation in the country ever and Cameron is batted aside by Gormless. Even though Gormless wrongfully claimed Spain is a member of the G20.

Nick Clegg (GlibDumDums) started off by kissing Obama's feet - leaving Gormless an easy return punch - before wittering on with some barely decipherable question on Afghanistan. Cleggy came back with a second question on regional stability which was met with mumbled agreement on surges and regional being-nice-to-Afghanistan wishlists.

WINNER: Score bore.

ZaNuLiebour's obvious new tactic is to say the word 'Eton' as often as possible and hope that it sticks. 'Do nothing'... 'Eton'... such complex political arguments. Obviously, a vast percentage of Labour voters don't even know where Eton is. "Ummmm... down south somewhere, innit?"

Yes, but what is Eton? Can you tell us that..? Ahh. Gotcha now.

The Speaker had to tell the Labour benches off like a group of naughty schoolchildren repeatedly. Sad.

Britain Under Lisbon Day 2: Darling wants his ball back already

The petty cash officer of the Nord de La Manche region of the European Empire (the job formerly known as 'Chancellor of the Exchequer' under the former systems of democracy and sovereignty) is throwing a wobbly and demanding his ball back.

Just 48 hours after us Little Englanders became governed from Brussels, Alistair Darling is beginning to think the whole thing might not be such a good idea after all.

According to The Times, "Alistair Darling has delivered a blunt warning to the EU’s new French finance chief against meddling with the City of London."

The squeaking comes from Darling as France's Sarkozy is apparently rubbing his hands in glee at the thought of being able to control Britain's financial heartbeat.

Hey, we're just saying what is written in The Times. And Boris Johnson did try to warn us all on this very point.

Point is, Darling apparently doesn't like it. Spilt milk and all that.

So, diddums. And what's he gonna do about it? Bat his eyebrows up and down furiously? Order British branches of McDonalds to rename their chips 'Hedge Fund Fries'..?

Look, he can't do anything.

We all know that the European Empire is in control of this country now.

And who made that happen? The Labour Party in collusion with the ironically named Liberal Democrats.

And which party does Alistair Darling pontificate under the banner of? The Labour Party.

So, throw a wobbly if you like Darling, but the European Empire can do what it wants to us. And the people responsible for this state of affairs are... you and your lot.

We the people didn't get a say on surrendering our sovereignty and being governed from Brussels. You wouldn't let us. Because you knew what we'd have said.

And only two days in, the people who brought this situation to pass are throwing their toys out of the pram already.

Awww. Diddums.

The European Empire is in charge now and the only way you can stop them, Mr. Darling, is by voting for UKIP.

So, Mr. Darling. Shall we drop UKIP an email and get them to send you a membership form?

Hide the decline, lock up the heretics!

David Cameron, the man who would be Chief County Councillor of the Nord de La Manche region of the European Empire (the job formerly known as 'British Prime Minister' under the old systems of democracy and sovereignty) appears to have another spot of bother on his hands.

After unsettling a lot of his own Conservative MPs over the Lisbon Treaty referendum that will never be, it seems that one or two of them have also found a spine and decided that... they are not keen to convert to the newly imposed religion of climate change, nor to bow at it's high altar of global government.

David Davis, Peter Lilley, Ann Widdecombe, John Maples and former Chancellor Nigel (now Lord) Lawson; Tory MEPs Daniel Hannan and Roger Helmer; backbenchers Graham Brady, Philip Davies, Andrew Tyrie and Christopher Chope; editor of ConservativeHome Tim Montgomerie - all are named across articles appearing in The Independent here, here and here as not having fallen for the argument that mankind must be forced back into the dark ages which those practising the new religion of green totalitarianism would impose upon the world.

We welcome the fact that the Conservatives have some non-sheeple amongst their ranks. But will these heretics be burned at the stake, sacrificed to Gaia, before they can say "now, hang on old chap..."

Let's hope they do speak up for sensible discussion... before a thirty foot statue of an owl speaks and goes 'twit-twoo'.

Meanwhile, staying with The Independent, we are warned - because of climate change - that we only have "twelve days to save the world" and "face a threat as terrible as that posed by Hitler".

Such utter, over-the-top, emotionally blackmailing hogwash. Hiding the decline is one thing, but this constant reference to "climate change deniers" and Hitler really has got to stop.

Look, if you genuinely have some concerns about climate change and man made global warming, maybe you ought to get people to have all of their scientific data independently reviewed; stop supporters of your cause labelling everyone who might want to have a discussion as a 'denier' and from bringing Hitler's name into it; make sure no treaties are signed that make reference to using climate change as a staging post to 'global government', 'global governance', or a 'new world order'...

...and then, then, maybe those of us who you are trying to convince might listen to the arguments you want to put forward.

But if you must treat us all like three year olds and use emotional blackmail and ever-excessively hysterical language... who do you hope to convince?

Clue: less and less people are convinced by the whole climate change thing. Maybe you've overdone it, just a tad..?

Now please pipe down and give us our bright lightbulbs back, for starters.

Global governance and hiding the decline... Adolf Hitler and five polar bears, indeed. Tsk!

ClimateGate latest... and a viral pop song!

The British media - with one or two exceptions - is still being embarrassingly quiet on ClimateGate.

ClimateGate Deniers, anyone? Well, why shouldn't the label be two-way traffic..?

Bizarrely, The Times is instead serving up more apocalypse. Seems to have backfired when you read the comments of their own readers. Ooops! Wonder if they got a slap on the hands for the story in their sister publication, The Sunday Times?

Anyway, not so silent on international shores.

The Wall Street Journal invites us to follow the money swooshing around the climate alarmists and their cause in not just one but two separate articles on the topic.

The Australian press is obviously reporting on the huge repercussions in Australian politics over a proposed emissions trading scheme bill which has led to the Australian opposition Liberal Party voting in a new leader - Tony Abbott - following mass resignations over the legislation.

Abbott seems to tap in to the growing opinions of people worldwide who have read about ClimateGate when, although he is solely talking specifically of Australian ETS proposals, he says: "As far as many many millions of Australians are concerned what the Rudd Government ETS looks like is a great big tax to create a great big slush fund to provide politicised handouts run by a giant bureaucracy".

Don't forget the bit about global government, Mr. Abbott. You defend Australia's sovereignty, before they nick it off you too.

There's a great quote on Peter Roff's blog on U.S. News: "It is starting to look like President Barack Obama, aided and abetted by former Vice President Al Gore, Sens. Barbara Boxer, and John F. Kerry and others, may have lied this nation into a war against man-made global warming."

Here in Britain, one or two lone brave voices are continuing to examine the aftermath of ClimateGate. Melanie Phillips in The Spectator blogs is one such hardy soul and, in her latest post, she links to a fascinating read from J.R. Dunn on American Thinker.

Meanwhile, ClimateGate (Hide The Decline) is becoming an internet hit 'choon'...

And the most influential twelve are...

Here's this blog's monthly look at the all-time global movers and shakers that visitors come to this weird little haven of free thought on the internet, searching for information on.

We have a new entrant straight in at number three and it is Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy. Somewhat hilariously, most people have come to this blog through searching for him by his alternative name...

Here are the glorious dozen:

1. (1) Lord Christopher Monckton
2. (2) George Galloway
3. (-) Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy
4. (3) Vaclav Klaus
5. (8) Jeremy Clarkson
6. (4) Alex Jones
7. (5) Dan Hannan
8. (6) David Icke
9. (7) David Cameron
10. (-) Stephen Fry
11. (9) Banksy
12. (11) Boris Johnson

So now you know.

Lisbon Treaty comes into force today

The Lisbon Treaty comes into force today. The undemocratically imposed piece of European Empire authority will be welcomed by those in the political elite at a special ceremony in Lisbon later today.

Now, regular readers of this blog will know that we utterly despise the Lisbon Treaty, we reject being part of a European political superstate and we continue to call for the return of national sovereignty, independence and democracy.

However, rather than trotting out those same points yet again, we thought we would mark the occasion by finding the positives.

From today, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson and their endless number of undemocratically appointed cabinet members become... just piffle. They are nothing more than insignificant County councillors. Yes, they'll stand up on TV and huff and puff and posture as though they have some sway, but we - the people - know that, as of today, they are nobodies. Nobodies imposing undemocratic laws on people who, as of today, know that they are just windbags with no real power at all.

What laws can they make? What can they do? Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all, not without the say so of the European Empire.

From today, Gordon Brown becomes just an irritating windbag on the TV, without any real power whatsoever. He gave it all away to the European Empire.

David Cameron. Who be he? He be the man who wants to become the next County councillor, to pontificate on the environment from the County Hall once known as the Houses of Parliament. You get on your bike if you want to. The people know about ClimateGate. Just tell us how much more money you want in taxes, for goodness sake... cut out the charade.

We don't need a Westminster Parliament under the current set up where most of our rules and regulations are made by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. Close it down and save us some money. Mothball the thing until we get some national sovereignty back. Or and until we ever see the restoration of democracy. For make no mistake - as of today, WE have absolutely no say and absolutely no power over anything. We have become enslaved by the people who, ironically, we employed as public servants. We're the servants and the slaves now.

Why do you think we have CCTV everywhere and police who now dress up as Robocop? It ain't for those wicked trainspotters and camera club members really. They're really there to restrain anybody who might have an opposing political view to the ruling elite.

And just in case... the Medieval Warm Period never happened and nobody just 20 years ago was using science to talk about the apocalypse of a new ice age and global freezing. We just imagined that. So, have your global government and your power and all the trappings. There's a nice bit of soil over there that looks quite tasty. We'll just nibble that quietly.

But here's another positive. The European Empire are letting BNP leader Nick Griffin have a say on the global government climate change treaty. It's a positive thing for democracy, because while we find Griffin to be quite odious, he is at least being allowed to have an opinion on climate change that runs counter to the prevailing religion of our times - something that you can guarantee nobody in Westminster would permit to happen - courtesy of Griffin or anybody else.

Britain is a police state with thought crime on the statutes.

So, hurrah for the Lisbon Treaty and for the European Empire letting someone like Nick Griffin have an opposing view. They'll ignore him, of course. But at least they're keeping up a halfway decent mirage of allowing debate - more than that lot in Westminster have allowed in years.

But hurrah - Gordon Brown and ZaNuLiebour, as of today, are a mere fraction of the tyrannical menace they were yesterday because they now officially have far less power and influence.

Sure, we're into a post-democratic age and we'll still no doubt be subject to out and out tyranny... but at least, as of today, we no longer have to listen to and see the face of the leader of the oppression.

As of today, Gordon Brown is no longer the person in power over Britain.

Someone whose name we probably don't know is in charge and he's probably got an office in Brussels.

And Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy is probably accountable to whoever it is.

We, the people... just piffling pawns. But let's at least have a laugh about it when we see our own former political masters in Westminster threaten us with all sorts and find out that Brussels won't let them do it.

Touché! And farewell to Britain and democracy which officially were wound up at midnight.

Sunday Paper Review: 29th November 2009

The Sunday Telegraph stands out amongst British media outlets by having some balls and publishing a pretty comprehensive background to ClimateGate, as part of a reported development that the University of East Anglia is agreeing to perform a U-turn and publish their climate change data figures in full. However, it is suggested that publication may be many months away and there are a number of caveats applied to what may or may not be published. Interesting story.

By contrast, the Independent on Sunday reports that Sir Paul McCartney is going to tell the EU how it's important that we all eat less meat to save the planet from global warming. That ludicrous story again. How many more will get on this same train? Still, he's only telling the EU. They'll make us do whatever they want as we have no democratic voice there. Easy victory for the climate change and vegetarian lobby, methinks. Anyone for a Linda McCartney tofu treat? The same report quotes Tory MEP Edward McMillan-Scott who says: "There is growing support for eating less meat so as to reduce global warming and to improve personal health." And less support for the Conservatives from this blogger as a result of such espoused views.

Meanwhile, Shadow "climate change" secretary Greg Clark is up in arms about the fact that the BNP's Nick Griffin will be part of an EU delegation to the Copenhagen global government climate change summit. Clark is quoted by The Observer as saying: "It is utterly ridiculous that someone who doesn't even believe in climate change should be seeking to represent Europe in Copenhagen." So, the Conservatives obviously only want a one-sided conversation about the issue then. So much for listening and democracy. We really cannot abide Nick Griffin, but we hope he tells anyone with ideas about global government or personal carbon allowances to naff off - though we can think of a conspiracy theory as to why Griffin might have been chosen to represent the opposing side of the AGW debate. Have a look at the headline. "Climate Change Denier" the newspaper screams. No obvious psychological agenda being peddled there, then. The fact that it's Nick Griffin of the BNP makes the word association game all too easy. But some of us do have an IQ of over 50, thank you.

The Sunday Times reports that Zac Goldsmith - the "green advisor" to Conservative leader David Cameron - has non-domicile tax status which, the newspaper says, enables him to "avoid huge sums of tax on his estimated £200m fortune". Strangely, he is also standing for Parliament as the Conservative candidate for Richmond Park. So, if you want to know who is behind the nonsense 'green' policies of the Conservatives, it's a multi-millionaire who officially doesn't even live in the UK but who is standing for our Parliament. Interesting...

Staying with the Conservatives and democracy, the Sunday Express suggests that Michael Ashcroft - who it describes as the "Tory bankroller" - will become one of the most influential people in Britain if the Conservatives win the General Election. Ashcroft, who is based in Belize, is apparently set to become a "back-room dealer".

Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday picks up on news that has been reported elsewhere and questions why BBC weatherman Paul Hudson apparently had the leaked ClimateGate emails several weeks ago but chose to do absolutely nothing with them - raising question marks about not acting in the public interest over such information.

And the News of the World reports on a study which suggests that 9 out of 10 people who phoned the swine flu hotline were misdiagnosed and that only 10% of those tested actually had the swine flu they had been diagnosed with. We've long known that most people can't tell the difference between the common cold and influenza, so are we really surprised? Anyway, nice to have a study blowing holes in some of the 'swine flu' hysteria. Will we ever know how many people ever actually had 'swine flu'..? Rhetorical question...

Climategate: Lord Monckton calls for arrest of Al Gore!

Lord Christopher Monckton has, over the last month or two, become a remarkable figure. The highly intelligent man, who couldn't be more traditional British establishment if he tried, came to recent prominence after warning that the upcoming Copenhagen climate summit was really a staging post for the launch of a communist style global government.

Now in light of the ClimateGate scandal, in which apparently leaked emails appear to suggest that science has been deliberately skewed to make a false 'scientific' case for AGW, he has gone even further.

Speaking to hugely influential American talk show host Alex Jones, Lord Monckton - a former advisor to Margaret Thatcher and the grandson of Walter Monckton who served at the heart of the British Government and was advisor to Edward VIII during the abdication crisis - has now called for the disbanding of the UN and for the arrest of his old adversary Al Gore over whom Monckton won a London High Court victory in 2007 over the accuracy of content of Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth.

He says that, in Britain, the Information Commissioner must now launch a criminal investigation into whether the data held by the now controversial University of East Anglia climate research unit had been suppressed from a wider public audience. However, in one of the leaked emails - if genuine, there is a written implication that the Information Commissioner had given advice to those alleged to be at the centre of the ClimateGate scandal on how to deflect Freedom of Information requests.

He described himself as "incandescent with fury" over the conduct of those at the centre of the ClimateGate scandal - something he calls a "conspiracy from top to bottom" organised by "some very powerful scientists" who "deserve to be locked up for a very, very long time".

He is backed by top Spanish climate scientist Eduardo Zorita who writes: "I may confirm what has been written in other places: research in some areas of climate science has been and is full of machination, conspiracies, and collusion, as any reader can interpret from the CRU-files. They depict a realistic, I would say even harmless, picture of what the real research in the area of the climate of the past millennium has been in the last years. The scientific debate has been in many instances hijacked to advance other agendas."

In the same interview, Lord Monckton called Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy "the new dictator of Europe".

In respect of the constant 'global government' talk that accompanies the political face of the climate change movement, Lord Monckton added that we, the people, have to take back control of our own lives saying: "We the people have got to rise up worldwide, found a party in every country which stands for freedom and make sure we fight this bureaucratic communistic world government monster to a standstill – they shall not pass."

We're with you, Lord Monckton. Where do we sign up..?

Full audio and video of Lord Monckton's interview with Alex Jones is below.

Lord Pearson elected new UKIP leader

Lord Pearson of Rannoch has been elected the new leader of UKIP.

He takes up the baton that has been handled with great skill by Nigel Farage as the latter takes on the challenge of running for Parliament.

We wish Lord Pearson - and indeed Nigel Farage - good luck in their new endeavours.

What do you say when...

What do you say when a serving Labour MP knocks on your front door doing a bit of canvassing?

I mean, I'm sure that the individual person concerned is nice enough, but you just have to be honest with them, don't you..?

*chuckle*

This is one blogger who feels better now we've got that off our chest...

ClimateGate: Aussie politicians resign enmasse rather than support legislation on carbon trading

Do you ever sit there thinking that somewhere in the world, there must be politicians with a bit of independent thought and principal who, you hope, might protect you from tyranny?

There are such politicians, and they live in Australia.

Front-bench opposition politicians Tony Abbott, Sophie Mirabella, Tony Smith and Senators Nick Minchin and Eric Abetz have all resigned rather than support carbon trading legislation.

Sophie Mirabella explains her resignation, saying: "It's a matter of not being able to vote for bills that are so bad under any measurement."

Tony Abbott says of his stance: "The phone lines have been in meltdown with people saying that the Liberal Party would not be doing its job as an Opposition simply to pass this thing without the scrutiny that people calling my office think it demands".

We applaud all politicians of independent mind and principle and we think the people of Australia can be very proud that they have people of integrity representing them.

Here in the UK, James Delingpole - whose frequent and thought-provoking writings on this issue in the Telegraph have recently caught this blogger's eye - writes: "For the rapidly increasing number of us who believe that AGW is little more than a scheme by bullying eco-fascists to deprive us of our liberty, by big government to spread its controlling tentacles into every aspect our lives, and scheming industrialists such as Al Gore to enrich themselves through carbon trading, this principled act by Australia’s Carbon Five is fantastic news".

Review: BBC Question Time, 26th November 2009

Was it just this blogger's imagination, or was this one of those episodes of Question Time in which the studio audience seemed to be comprised disproportionately of those backing left-wing politics..? Just a thought.

Charlie 'Lord' Falconer (ZaNuLiebour) drew a negative reaction from the audience when he accused Nicola Sturgeon of talking "complete rubbish" over a dodgy premise for war in Iraq. Claimed the House of Commons had all the evidence. Said every intelligence service was misled about Iraq's WMD's... by Saddam. Said he feels strongly that the decision to invade Iraq was the right one and that he also felt strongly that Britain had not been misled. Said we can debate the science of climate change forever but he is strongly of the view that politicians should act now. Spoke strongly against banks and they way they have imposed unfair charges against members of the public.
Our Rating: He has a cute presence about him - a bit like Toady of Toad Hall. Difficult to equate this character with the truly wicked party that he represents. That said, we agreed with next to nothing that he said and his attempts to justify the decisions surrounding the invasion of Iraq led to much slow shaking of the head here. 1/12

David Davis (Conservative) made the point that some of the decisions that took us to war were based on evidence obtained under torture. Said he was worried by claims that Alistair Campbell, Blair's press secretary, had helped compile the "dodgy dossier". Pointed out his science background before talking about ClimateGate and said he is "agnostic" on the issue of man made global warming. Expressed discomfort at those who claim the science is settled and urged that further caution is needed in any decisions relating to the issue. Called for sensible rather than virulent discussion - and hinted that he might not endorse official Conservative policy on global warming. Said that the OFT case against bank charges threw up an interesting point on the idea of 'free banking', stating that the British retail banking system was twice as profitable as other banking systems. Made an interesting point on the original decision to not give the Scottish Parliament fiscal autonomy.
Our Rating: We like David Davis. Maybe not his strongest performance. Maybe he was gauging the studio audience and pitching some of his arguments accordingly. However, there were hints here and there of his independence of mind and we do support that. 7/12

Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) said we know all about the dodgy premise for war in Iraq already, but wanted to remind the public that Gordon Brown was equally responsible as Tony Blair. Said it was a "national scandal" that Tony Blair has not yet been held to account for the Iraq war. Used the "deny" word against those who question the man made global warming hypothesis and said that recent floods proved to those living in those areas that something was wrong with the climate. Said the public have got fed-up of paying for the "free lunches" of bankers "over the last wee while" and "it's got to stop". Unsurprisingly urged for a referendum on Scottish independence after stating she believes in full fiscal autonomy and for Scotland to make her own decisions for it's own economy.
Our Rating: She seemed quite strong when talking about Iraq, but lost it for us on her responses to the question on ClimateGate. 5/12

Melanie Phillips (writer and columnist) bravely made a case as to why the invasion of Iraq was justified and said that she had supported the war - but did not support the re-writing of history since. Got to answer a beautifully worded question on ClimateGate. Melanie writes often about the questionable science being used to promote the hypothesis of global warming. Hit out directly at the BBC for not being straightforward with the public but was interrupted sharply by Dumblebee in her attempts to do so. Was later told she could ponder a further point to answer on the climate but she was never returned to in that context. Called for incentives for people running their bank accounts with prudence and said that it might be reasonable that they be treated preferably to those living beyond their means. Said if the Scots want more autonomy, then the Barnet formula must cease - something which Nicola Sturgeon said she supports.
Our Rating: The problem for someone who likes to make a coherent argument on a show where punchy pleasing one-liners win over an audience was clear to see. It was very discomforting to see Dumblebee as Chairperson of the show hindering her ability to express her opinion on ClimateGate. 7/12

Marcus Brigstocke (comedian and broadcaster) said the timetable for invading Iraq was "fixed" and this was agreed "possibly years before" - unsurprisingly, he was highly critical of what we know of events surrounding Iraq. Rallied off a load of statistics which he claims prove that there is global warming and claimed ClimateGate is insignificant. We didn't quite understand what he was saying on a question about the banks - maybe we were momentarily distracted. Later used a question on minimum alcohol charging to be critical of any member of the public believing they have a "right" to "cheap flight" and "cheap meat" - that latter one raised an eyebrow with this blogger...
Our Rating: No clues for guessing at which end of the political spectrum his politics fall at. We met lots of people who sounded exactly like him when we were at University. There's just something about people with left-wing opinions that makes us want to run into the arms of people on the right. Alas, Mr. Brigstocke had that effect on this blogger. 0/12

This blogger felt strong agreement with the gentleman in the audience who asked a question about man made global warming being a scam and who expressed his own opinion later on. His expressed opinions match those of this blogger almost entirely.

Climategate: The people start petitioning the PM

In the light of the Climategate scandal which is still being mostly unreported by key parts of the British media, the people of Britain have themselves decided to take the matter up politically.

A petition on the 10 Downing Street website reads:

"The Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia is a “leading centre” for the investigation of “manmade global warming” and government policy relies on the integrity of these statistics. Several claims have been made: that data was “cherry picked” to make the 20th century temperature rise look exceptional in historical terms; emails suggest the unit has colluded in “tricks” to “hide the decline” in a high profile scientific journal, and this unit has colluded in active, secret and highly political campaigning through the website “realclimate”.

The preparation of climate statistics require many judgements: stations move & sites become surrounded by urban sprawl (urban heating) & a judgement must be made of the size of the offset to apply to the global temperature record. The University accepts most emails are genuine so it appears the Unit has been acting in a highly partisan way incompatible with that of a neutral body preparing and interpreting government data. We call on the PM to suspend all further use of the climate research unit until all pertinent allegations have been investigated and any action (if any) has been taken."

If you want to sign this petition, you will find it by CLICKING HERE.

Those wanting further analysis of Climategate could start by checking the latest post from Melanie Phillips on The Spectator.

Meanwhile, Hilary Benn has apparently added his name to that recent barmy suggestion that we all have to become vegetarians to save the planet from climate change.

We can't be bothered to read such nonsense, but it may or may not involve cows farting. Obviously, vegetarians do not fart. Ever. Or something.

Gosh. The world has gone mad. Official.

Danish media start asking questions about WHO and 'Big Pharma'

Is this conspiracy season? The whole world appears to have gone completely weird.

Now we get question marks in the media - mainstream media at that - over the links between the World Health Organisation and the big pharmaceutical companies.

Unusually, this story is one that this blog has found which is not in the mainstream British media.

...but we've seen enough material to make one's eyes water in the British media alone of late of the fall of democracy and all sorts of strange connections between the self appointed 'powerful' (who we pay and who still put their trousers on one leg at a time like the rest of us... they are only people, no matter their job or title).

We digress.

Here, a Danish journalist talks to the Russia Today news programme about the World Health Organisation and Big Pharma.

Food for thought..?

Farage slapped down for questions about the Supreme Queen of Quangos

UKIP's Nigel Farage has landed in hot water... for having the audacity to want to ask questions about the appointment of Cathy 'Baroness' Ashton - the Supreme Queen of Quangos.

Ashton - never elected by anybody ever - was recently 'appointed' the High Representative over the EU, with it's population of some 500 million people.

The Daily Telegraph today notes that she "was treasurer of CND in the early 1980s."

UKIP have written to Jose Manuel Barroso asking him to investigate whether the CND received funding from Moscow during the 1980's.

In the letter, Gerard Batten states that in the early 1980's, it was "found that 38 per cent of [the CND's] annual income could not be traced back to the original donors. The person responsible for this part of CND fund-raising, from anonymous donors [...] was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.”

UKIP's line of enquiry follows recent allegations from former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky.

In a wonderful speech no doubt being applauded by many British patriots, Nigel Farage asked about the CND and Cathy Ashton's role in the organisation in today's European Parliament. A video clip of this is now available on UKIP's website and on YouTube.

However, Mr. Farage was reprimanded by European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek and ordered to "restrain his language and refrain from making unacceptable comments in the chamber".

Farage says: "To attempt to silence an elected representative from asking pertinent questions about the past of the EU's foreign minister is censorship, plain and simple. Her past actions have a direct bearing on her suitability for her new role. To be reprimanded for carrying out my duty to my constituents by the parliament's President is scandalous. Is this the price Europe will pay for the deeply undemocratic imposition of the Lisbon Treaty?"

The Telegraph states that Buzek has summoned Farage for a meeting where he will warn him about his conduct, with the threat of disciplinary action.

This latest line of British-Kremlin curiosity follows recent claims and allegations about Soviet links to the British Labour Party.

Here's another fine mess you got me into: Tories in crazily-timed green policy relaunch

Today's Daily Telegraph leads with news that the Conservatives propose to pay us for recycling our rubbish. Under the proposal, people will be rewarded with M&S vouchers for recycling in a scheme that will put whatever we recycle onto a database...

Now, we find the idea of anyone logging onto a computer what we throw into the dustbin to be somewhat sinister - yet it would put the Conservatives completely in-line with ZaNuLiebour's control freak tendencies. A purely nice-intention sounding continuation of ZaNuLiebour's Tweedle Dee...

Don't get us wrong. We love the planet. We love the environment. We think people should stop hacking down the rainforests. We'd love to see alternative fuels and energy technologies.

However, look at the timing of this latest Conservative policy announcement.

On both sides of the Atlantic, people are demanding inquiries into the science behind 'man-made global warming' after leaked documents - dubbed by some as a "smoking gun" - appear to indicate that there may have been dark forces and something untoward at play behind the science that has been presented as irrefutable fact for the last however many years.

In America, Senator Jim Inhofe, Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, is demanding an inquiry over the documents that have surfaced which suggest that the whole 'man made global warming' science might be a scam.

Inhofe has demanded answers else an investigation into "the way that they cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not."

Here in Britain, Lord Lawson has now called for a independent public inquiry into what has been going on.

The latest blow to proponents of the relentless 'man made global warming' alarmist onslaught comes just a couple of weeks after Lord Christopher Monckton became a global internet phenomenon. His reasonably low-key discussion in which he warned about those attending the upcoming Copenhagen summit having plans to use the environmental issue to form a global government was watched by millions of people all around the world.

Monckton's warning came at the end of a two hour presentation in which he sought to illustrate how data sets were being manipulated to fit the argument around man-made global warming.

Then come these leaks...

So now, like a knackered cavalry on a lame donkey charge, here come Cameron's Conservatives. Plodding into the headlines accompanied by the refrains of Dance of the Cuckoos, they really couldn't have picked a more inopportune moment to recycle their green credentials.

After the current hoo-haa broke at the weekend, there's a good chance that many of us are now completely cynical about the entire debate on environmental issues.

Sure, there is a difference between looking after trees (good) and not polluting waters (good)... and pretending that we can stick taxes on everything to do with carbon because man is making the planet warm up whilst maybe doing something with the data to make that appear to be the case even though it isn't (which would be bad if it were true).

Poor Tories. If one were truly cynical, one might think they looked at the weekend's poll which showed Labour had slashed their lead and they were desperate to find a policy announcement that was about anything other than referendums or the European Union... if only they'd read a few news reports before deciding to go with this one.

One thing you may not have considered is this. While the Conservatives are in opposition and not Government (yet) we - the taxpayer - are STILL paying them to come up with stuff like this. We're paying for the worst Government ever and the lamest opposition ever. We're paying for the Evil Empire and it's unelected rulers. And we're giving trillions to banks...

Still, never mind. The sun might even come out later. You know, that rather warm orange coloured thing in the sky...

8.30pm Addendum: The Conservatives are obviously running around with their fingers in their ears. At their own website, they now have details of policies to:

* Cut central government emissions by ten per cent within twelve months - Britain’s leading companies have agreed to work with a Conservative government to achieve this.
* Consult on Britain’s first Green Investment Bank.
* Make Whitehall energy consumption transparent.
* Introduce new Green ISAs.
* Create a framework to allow the public to be paid to recycle.
* Expand the City’s green trading market.

Even the BBC - at least, through their most trustworthy political voice Andrew Neil - have heard of these leaks, with Neil calling for a "calm, civilised, informative" debate on the issue.

And why do we praise Andrew Neil? Because he constantly conveys a desire to get at the truth and ask questions. You never feel with him that you are being conned. You do get insight and two sides of an argument. Two sides of an argument and the ability to make our own mind up. Is that really too much to ask?

Obviously, the Conservatives will just plough on with their pre-determined agenda, irrespective of anything that comes to light - such as possibly devastating leaked documents.

Problem is, media outlets across the globe are now asking questions about the legitimacy of 'man made global warming' science.

There are now question marks around the science and that is apparently an inconvenient truth.
