Britain has numerous gloriously silly place names. Feel free to post the best ones. I’ll start…Twatt in Orkney.
Meanwhile in Cornwall…

If you drive an electric vehicle to do your bit to ‘save the planet’, it is more than likely that the vehicle has a battery with cobalt in it.
Over 40,000 child slaves mine the cobalt in horrific conditions in Congo. Electric cars are now the biggest source of cobalt demand.

China has more carbon emissions than the developed world combined. But hey, let’s punish farmers, blame it on cow farts, fill up landfills with wind turbine blades, destroy prime farmland with mass-scale solar panels and enforce net zero taxes.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill (vote in parliament later today) means that anyone born after 2009 won't ever be able to legally buy tobacco. If passed, as expected, the age at which people can purchase cigarettes would be raised by one year annually.
This is an insane bit of legislation.
So when someone is say 50 years of age, they still won’t be able to buy cigarettes (if born after 2009). This legislation is unworkable and another example of governments enforcing health and safety crass logic laws to restrict freedom of choice.
If someone wants to smoke then so be it. Banning or restricting freedom of choice is a slippery slope.

Vaccine passports, central bank digital currencies & digital ID are not for our security and convenience. It’s all about government control & power, a reduction in our civil liberties and a gigantic transfer of wealth to the super-rich.
Digital ID: Right at the core of the agenda. We are sleepwalking towards tech totalitarianism. As shown in this graphic by the WEF.
It will be framed as “for your safety and convenience”, but in reality it’s for their control, surveillance, power and greed.

Vaccine passports, central bank digital currencies & digital ID are not for our security and convenience. It’s a con trick. It’s all about government control, power and a reduction in our freedoms to enable a gigantic asset grab and transfer of wealth.
It’s the complete digital identification of everything - money, health, energy and travel. It will be framed as “for your safety and convenience”, but in reality it’s for their control, surveillance, power and greed.

The unethical truth of net zero. Around 40,000 child slaves in Congo work in hazardous conditions in cobalt mines, with inadequate safety equipment and for very little money. The cobalt is used in many products - including electric car batteries.

“Climate change is wreaking havoc on our planet.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry reportedly flew on 21 private jet trips in two years.

The NHS app is back. According to Rishi Sunak, this will reduce the record numbers of people on waiting lists. He conveniently omits the fact that an app doesn’t magic wand away the reasons why there are huge waiting lists in the NHS.
Insincerity personified.

Since 2017, a group of investors have been planning the construction of Tristate City, a megalopolis with a population of around 45 million extending across the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. For this to happen, they obviously need to buy up a lot of farmland… dutchnews.nl/news/2017/10/d…

We are sleepwalking towards tech totalitarianism. This dystopian and illiberal premise is not who we are or ever should become. We must never become a ‘show us your digital papers’ QR code society. We are not China.
The very essence of liberalism is a willingness to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own, show an openness to new ideas and freedom of choice. And right now, we appear to be losing these fair-minded and balanced liberal values.

Sean is absolutely 💯 correct here. Absolutely nails it.
So grounded. This is exactly how to win hearts and minds rather than preaching / sneering at anyone else for their lack of ideological purity or their different opinions.

Wind turbines have a life span of 20 years. Tens of thousands of old turbines could end up in landfill by the end of the decade. Turbine blades are set to account for more than 40 million tonnes of waste by 2050. Not exactly a sustainable outcome.

We are sleepwalking towards central bank digital currencies & digital ID. It is being sold as “for our security and convenience” when actually it’s for their digital and financial control and power. As I discussed at the @Togetherdec debate. #CBDCs
The vast majority of the population have absolutely no idea about the mission creep towards central bank digital currencies and therefore, have absolutely no understanding about the potential repercussions of this. Ignorance is not bliss. It’s dangerous.

1. After the division of Brexit and lockdowns, the thing that unites us all is the cost of living crisis & bad governments.
2. Yet again we watch with contempt at the grotesque vaudevillian parlour game played out by shoddy politicians and overexcited media at Westminster, while millions of people suffer a cost of living crisis. A circus filled with clowns, totally detached from the real world.

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and social credit systems explained. It’s time to wake people up before they sleepwalk towards state digital surveillance and control of our money and transactions. #CBDC
