Same old, same old. Your ‘political commentator’ hat is full of holes as ever – I’m fairly sure Clark will have his own subscriptions to gain an objective view, but you live in hope I guess. I thought you were going to give us some of the ordinary stuff you get up to, Michael? What really runs through the neurones in the wee hours. Not Ed Milliband surely, unless you have a secret fetish you haven’t told us about before…
I write prose and poetry and songs to pass the time when I can’t sleep. Here’s last nights effort to hopefully stimulate your imagination…
Before Dawn
In the hush before the morning breaks,
I catch the scent the night still keeps,
A ghost of rain, of you, of spring —
It drifts across my half-formed sleep.
The world is pale, the curtains sigh,
A breath, a trace, a whispered name,
And though I reach through empty air,
The warmth still answers just the same.You are the light that doesn’t fade,
The quiet pulse beneath the day,
Though time has thieved the form I knew,
It cannot take the scent of you.Your laughter sings in kettle’s steam,
The mirror blooms with morning’s dew,
I see your shadow brush the wall,
Then fade as if it always knew.
And I am neither lost nor found,
Just drifting where our echoes meet,
Between the dawn’s forgiving hands,
And memory’s unending beat.The clock forgets its ticking heart,
The birds begin, then hush their song,
For just a breath, the world stands still —
And you return, before the dawn.So I will rise and face the day,
As dream and daylight intertwine,
For though the years have slipped away,
Your spirit wakes in scent and shine.
And somewhere past the hint of blue,
Where love outlives the passing yawn,
I’ll meet you there — as light meets hue —
And hold you close, before the dawn.Shibboleth
top poem, thank you very much.Sir Keir Rodney Starmer is incredibly unpoplular in the U.K.
In Caerphilly The Labour vote collapsed by the same amount that the Reform vote increased 34%.
So Reform is going up in popularity and labour is going down in popularity, yet Sir keir hugs and kisses Zelenskky in London.
British Storm Shadow fired at Bryansk, in Russia.
Does Starmer think that going to war with Russia, will make the British people love and respect him.
Most likely, Starmer will become even more out of touch, no grasp on reality, a failed politician with a failing government.“coalition of the willing”
Evil people.
If Starmer and macron want Europe to go to war with Russia, they should both hold General Elections, specifically telling people they they want World war Three.
In Germany, largest Economy in the E.U., about one quarter of their Electricity production is from burning Coal.
In Poland,fifth largest Economy in the E.U., possibly soon to be fourth largest,
about 2/3 of their Electricity production comes from burning Coal.
In the U.K. we no longer burn Coal to make electricity.
Are we not wonderful?Water supply
In about 1850, there were 27 1/2 million people in the British isles, as the industrial Revolution had been ongoing for a hundred or more, by then the population was quickly increasing.
This meant that we had to create water systems and sewage systems, to allow increasing populations in urban settings.
many civilizations have failed when the have run out of usable water.
The Labour Administration want to create one a half million more homes over a five year period.
These houses and flats will need water and sewage systems.
Labour also want the U.K. to be the AI data hub for Europe, this will also use lots of water.
The Labour Administration have also given the go ahead for Sizewell C.
There have been local concerns about not enough water.
East Anglia is often called a desert because of the low water fall on that land.
There is no more rain falling today in 2025 than there was in 1850.
Yet we are heading towards three times the population, effectively meaning, we will only be allocated 1/3 of the water per person, that you could have had in 1850.
So, where will the extra water come from?Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:
It is time to do big things and build big projects in this country again- and today we announce an investment that will provide clean, homegrown power to millions of homes for generations to come.
This government is making the investment needed to deliver a new golden age of Nuclear, so we can end delays and free us from the ravages of the Global Fossil Fuel Markets to bring bills down for good!
The government has confirmed it will take an initial 44.9% stake to become the single biggest equity shareholder in the project .
I have not seen much in the way of energy bills coming down, no doubt Ed Milliband knows what he is talking about.

“A new nuclear power station needs a vast supply of water. But where will Sizewell C get it from?”
There is not any spare fresh water.water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

“What might not have been immediately obvious in the coverage of the government’s decision was that the Planning Inspectorate, tasked with assessing such projects, had recommended that permission be refused. The problem, the examiners explained, was fairly simple: EDF couldn’t say exactly where it would obtain one of the main substances needed to make a nuclear power station work, that substance being water.”There is no spare water.
Things “might” be changing as far as Catastrophic Global Warming Alarmism is concerned.
Donald Trump, President of the U.S.A.has said it is mostly crap and that he will order “Drill Baby Drill”
President Lula of Brazil ( Cop 30)Mon, 10 Nov 2025 – Fri, 21 Nov 202 30) has decided to denude the rainforest and Drill Baby Drill.
Bill Gates, one of the World’s top Global Warming perveyors, has slightly changed his tune, Billno longer things this will crash civilization. Bill claims that it will impact poor people but we can help poor people by giving them injections.
It does begin to look like the worm is turning.
People are starting to see, that the Emperor has no clothes.The fear of Global Warming is dissipating.
The scales are falling from the eyes.
It is and has always been a scam.Michael, why, after all this time on these forums do you still allow Donald Trump, Bill Gates and others to delimit your understanding (I was going to use the word definition) of things. Every argument you make is economics based. If we don’t use north sea (mostly no longer under UK control) fossil fuels people will lose their jobs. Who cares what anyone other than Michael thinks, if you are Michael.
Please Michael, go back to basics. I can guarantee you that resolving things to first principles works.
All the energy (what exactly is energy?) comes from the sun in the form of electromagnetic energy (plus a little bit of tidal/gravity generated energy). Largely in the form of visible light at a wave length NOT absorbed by CO2, kinda, mostly.
It hits the surface, whether that be water or land. It (the energy) gets absorbed if that is the right phrase. Plants use it to grow. Other stuff just heats up if it cannot usefully use that energy. Hence climate change.
Repeatedly you make reference to other times in history where CO2 levels were much higher than now but never allow for all the other changes that were consequent upon that such as massive sea level rises obliterating coastal populations, islands etc.
Here I challange you.
Argue with me the science of the science of electromagnetic wave.
https://theconversation.com/john-tyndall-the-forgotten-co-founder-of-climate-science-143499I wonder if Zack Polanski, new leader of the Green party in the U.K. will fly to Brazil for COP 30?
Apparently he is a Jewish, Gay, Vegan.
Some of his views seem almost mental.
Zack has been described as the “breast whisperer.
He believes that (in part) Veganism will save the World.
He believes in Trans Ideology.
He believes in Net Zero.
He believes in Catastrophic Global Warming consequences.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Polanski
All this twaddle, but Zack has made the U.K. Green Party more popular than the U.K. Labour Party.
Does this mean that U.k. voters are loosing their minds?Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, is now the most unpopular Prime minister – ever.
Yet Sir Keir believes in promoting World War Three and going to COP 30.
What would be the point in trying to save the World, by giving up eating meat, yet helping to start World War Three?In my mind this is lunacy.
I contend that Sir Keir Starmer, Zack Polanski and Sir Ed Davy and Ed Milliband,
all all out of their minds. A mind hive virus has probably affected them.
They believe things that are not true, things that have no bearing on ordinary working peoples lives.
These politicians are very, very dangerous people.Sir Keir Rodney Starmer does not eat meat and used to be a vegetarian but is now a pescatarian, also eating fish.
He made his children become Vegetarian, until they were ten, then he allowed them to choose.
What a swine.Sir Keir really wants the U.K. to go to war with Russia but he does not want to ask the British people, if that is what they want.
I think he is a very, very dangerous person, who is probably trying to destroy society, in the U.K.
I have no understanding, why he is so blantantly against Britain.
If anybody has any understanding of this, please, please share.Hello ET

Isn’t modern life mostly about energy and economics?
In Scotland one in eleven people of working age are on the sick?
Perhaps part of the reason for that, is lack of jobs that pay enough money to sustain family life?
The Coal Fired power stations have been blown up.
The Coal mines/fields have been closed down.
Grangemouth Refinery has now been closed down.
No new “tickets” for North Sea Oil or Gas are being issued.
At a wild guess that is probably about 100,000 well paying, physical jobs removed from Scotland.
Grangemouth refinery processed its last crude in April 2025.
Many products other than fuel are produced from Hydrocarbons.
If there is no longer to be Oil or North Sea Gas, where will the feedstocks come from, for modern life.
Every time an operation happens they throw the surgical gloves in the bin.
Where will the gloves and the throw away aprons come from?Sir Keir Rodney Starmer in the Jungle of Brazil, COP 30

Sir Keir really explains clearly why Net Zero is so important.Groundhog Day #267.
Shibboleth
It seems that the united Kingdom, is quite close to being broke.
We have the highest energy costs, that is why our industries are going broke.Vanishingly few people still have hope that the U.k. will sort out the Economy, such as they can see, a useful future for themselves.
net ZeroMaybe we in the U.K. are suppose to die.
Then the planet will live?Wow. You’ll be shocked to learn that we will all die. Every single person on this planet will die, Michael. I hope you have a suitable plan. Funerals are expensive these days.
As far as the UK is concerned, it operates a fiat currency and for all government spending in Sterling, it cannot run out of money. You may be even more shocked to learn that such spending is not reliant on tax receipts.
I’m curious. Your daughter is a medic – correct? She must have a reasonable education in all kinds of conditions. Is she aware you write on this forum and does she ever read your posts?

The BBC are known liars.
They give the impression of believing that which is not true.
If it is possible, for a group to be captured by Metropolitan Mind Hive Delusion,
then the BBC is such a group.
One of their delusions is that we only have twelve years to live before the planet become unlivable because of Global Warming.(This is from The Guardian, seven years ago)
“We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, warns UNITED NATIONS
Urgent changes needed to cut risk of extreme heat, drought, floods and poverty, says IPCC.
The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.The authors of the landmark report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released on Monday say urgent and unprecedented changes are needed to reach the target, which they say is affordable and feasible although it lies at the most ambitious end of the Paris agreement pledge to keep temperatures between 1.5C and 2C.
The half-degree difference could also prevent corals from being completely eradicated.”
Now corals in some form have been about for about half a billion years.
One of the most diverse places on the planet is The Coral Triangle.
For an open water sea this place experiences the hottest sea water temperature, yet the corals thrive.
The profusion of life is stunning. The sea movement can be very strong, sometimes ripping coral away from their substrate. Yet the corals ( as a whole) do well. Most corals with Photosynthetic symbionts live in the tropics, where there is more light and heat.
They are not giving up the ghost, they are doing well.
The planet has been greening, in part because of a higher concentration of Carbon dioxide in the air.
This is boosting crop yield.
The drier parts of the planet are now starting to green, this is because the breathing holes in the leaves can become smaller or fewer or open less, thus cutting down on losing water.
What are the awful downsides of carbon dioxide?
Please tell.Quote BBC
The rate of U.K. unemployment has risen to 5% in the three months to September, showing signs the jobs market has weakened, according to new official figures.It is the highest rate since the period covering December 2020 to February 2021, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).”
Now if we had not bothered with Net Zero, continued to use our own Coal/Oil/Gas and kept our steel blast works, our refinery works our chemical works our textile works, our cement works our car works our anything industries that use fuel or electricity going, then perhaps we would not be in an economic death spiral, in our country?
