Don't tell me... it's so hot, it's snowing

Today's Daily Express tells us that: "With more than 10 inches of snow in some parts and a further eight inches set to fall overnight, forecasters are predicting the worst winter for 100 years."

Really?

Must be all that balmy, hot, global warming that we're all being taxed to death in the name of.

Let me guess... there's a difference between 'weather' and 'climate'.

And it's totally logical that the hotter it gets, the more it's gonna snow.

And the quickest route from Birmingham to Manchester is down the M1, across the English Channel, and back up the other side via Australia. Of course. Common sense. Everybody knows that.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know" sang Bing.

Well, there we go. Everything is back to normal.

Can we stop being relieved of a fortune in 'climate change' taxes now, then?

Or worse still, having weird people decide we must undergo WWII style food rationing in order to save the planet.

And, it's now abundantly clear, we don't need any global government to save us from normal weather that is now "just like the ones I used to know".

We just need a snow plough and a few gritters.

Not that any councils can afford them - after a combination of the European Union, banker bailouts and dodgy climate science relieved us all of every last penny.

Ironic isn't it? The more money people pay the worse society gets and yet no one does anything about it. LOL

I remember growing up in Dundee when I was younger, especially in the 70's when it used to get really cold. I remember weeks of snow and yet society never stopped. There were snow ploughs, gritters & sanders council workers out on the streets sweeping the snow of the streets. There was no council tax then, a better police force, less tax, more fags and beer for the pound.....

This is reality people pay more and life gets worse.

That made me chuckle.

By the way, has it been quiet in the MSM about this jolly up in Cancun or what (compared to the hysteria of the last decade)?

Anyone'd think it was a scam...

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
