Every year since 2008 when it was bailed out by the UK taxpayer, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has been losing money. Now – thanks to the Guardian‘s Chief Enviro Loon, the Hon. Damian Carrington – we have an
President Obama is flying to Britain to persuade her people that their best interests lie in remaining shackled to the rotting corpse of the European Union. According to one of his foreign policy advisors, he is doing this because he
So a bunch of left-wing US Attorneys General have held a meeting in New York — presided over by discredited professional climate-alarmist Al Gore — to discuss how best to use the legal system to wipe out climate scepticism once and for
In a Channel 4 documentary called What Britain’s Muslims Really Think, presenter Trevor Phillips presented survey evidence suggesting that large numbers of British Muslims don’t want to integrate and dislike Jews and that many thousands of them support extremist views including terrorism and suicide
Bono — the international statesman, global thought-leader and occasional musician — has told Congress exactly what it needs to do solve the global refugee crisis and Islamic extremism. Firstly, the West needs to welcome in more refugees from North Africa and the Middle
David Cameron’s Brokeback-Mountain-style relationship with the European Union (EU) is paying dividends: the pal he appointed as Britain’s EU Commissioner has ridden to the edge of the swamp, cast a lasso over the besmirched prime minister and begun heaving him
The usual leftard suspects have been fighting a rearguard action in defence of their excuse that China – not insane green energy policy – was responsible for the death of British steel. But Sanjeev Gupta disagrees. And he should know because he’s
No sooner do I want to see David Cameron’s tax return than I’d wish to examine the laundry basket where he puts his used underpants. But from now on, apparently, we’re going to get no choice. By allowing himself to be bullied
Most people don’t realize this yet, but if a Democrat gets the keys to the White House next year it’s game over for the US economy.
My coveted Wanker of the Week award goes to the man who accused Butlins of “race hate” because it featured a wrestling match in which the bad guy was a bearded Muslim brandishing an Islamic-State-style flag and the good guy a
I’ve been trying, I really have, to give a damn about the fact that Paul Burrell, former butler to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, may have some shares in an offshore trust based in the British Virgin Islands called
Here is the news from the Green Ministry of Propaganda: the threatened closure of Britain’s largest steel works in Port Talbot, Wales has almost nothing to do with the inflated costs of green energy. Apparently it’s all just a myth put
A mob of self-righteous lefty luvvies has descended on the British Museum to try to bully its new director into giving up on the £600,000 sponsorship money it receives annually from British Petroleum (BP). The new director’s name is Hartwig
Kill The Greenies. That’s the title of my new play which I hope to be touring later this summer round all the usual arts festivals. There’s just one problem: I can’t seem to get the grant funding. It really wouldn’t take much.
The centre left is dead in Europe. This is the heartening the conclusion of a survey in the Economist which shows that electorates across Europe have lost patience with the squishy, soft-left, metropolitan ‘Social Democrat’ elite which has dominated their politics for the
“Time to stop cars driving climate change,” writes a Member of the European Parliament at HuffPo. Naturally, your assumption will be that the politician responsible for such bilge is either going to be Green or Labour or possibly from one of
Ronnie Corbett is dead at 85 – and with him that golden era of British television comedy, when as a nation we all laughed together at the same tastefully smutty, funny, apolitical jokes on the same programmes on the same
Did you short-sell your solar energy shares as I advised last week in my Breitbart piece “The Solar Industry is Dying: Good Riddance? If you’d picked SunEdison – the world’s largest green energy company – you would have made a killing as its
Rajendra Pachauri, the disgraced former head of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), has produced an ingenious defence against the sexual harassment charges he is now facing in an Indian court. It turns out that, no he didn’t pester, bombard with emails,
Europe’s suicidal green energy policies are killing at least 4o,000 people a year. That’s just the number estimated to have died in the winter of 2014 because they were unable to afford fuel bills driven artificially high by renewable energy tariffs.
Climate change is the biggest scam in the history of the world – a $1.5 trillion-a-year conspiracy against the taxpayer, every cent, penny and centime of which ends in the pockets of the wrong kind of people, none of which
A well-loved Muslim shopkeeper has been murdered in Glasgow, Scotland, shortly after posting messages wishing his Christian customers a Happy Easter. See if you can work out what key detail is missing from the Guardian‘s coverage of this appalling crime.
“The scariest thing about Brussels is our reaction to it,” says respected British journalist and commentator and former editor of the (London) Times, Simon Jenkins. Really? Scarier than, say, being one of the two London businessmen now lying in a Brussels hospital
Alarmists have airbrushed a top female scientist out of ‘women in climate’ history because she has taken the ‘wrong’ side on global warming. Dr Judith Curry, is professor and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at
At least 34 people are dead and many more injured as a result of the latest Islamist terrorist atrocity in Europe – in Brussels, this time. But apparently – so the left-liberal tastemakers assure us – it is too early to make political
Increased “extreme weather events” caused by man-made global warming are an alarmist myth, a study shows. In fact, contradicting claims by the Royal Society, the National Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there was more “extreme weather” in
If you still own shares in solar energy it’s probably a sign that you’ve been in the sun too long: the sector is tanking – and deservedly so – as reality dawns that this is a Potemkin industry, an Enron
A study in Nature has confirmed what to many non-climate-scientists is probably blindingly obvious: far from being traumatised by global warming, plants simply adapt to it. Here’s the abstract of the study, lead authored by Professor Peter Reich, an ecologist and
UK Chancellor George Osborne has used his latest budget to declare war on free markets and consumer choice – in the guise of protecting vulnerable souls from the deadly threat of fizzy drinks. Note the weasel justification that this will “encourage
Prince William has bravely come out in defence of trophy hunting. ‘There is a place for commercial hunting in Africa as there is round the world,’ although he conceded: ‘It’s not everyone’s cup of tea.’ For this the heir to
Britain is now committed to zero carbon suicide. That was the promise made in parliament yesterday by the Conservative government’s Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom. The Government believe we will need to take the step of enshrining the Paris goal of
Jeremy Clarkson has just lopped off his privates in public. It wasn’t an edifying sight. I’m trying to think of an analogy that captures the enormity of what Clarkson has just done. In terms of sheer cringeworthiness, I suppose it would be
“Hoist by his own petard.” This is the phrase Shakespeare invented for “being blown up by your own bomb.” It’s also the perfect description for what has happened to one of the RICO 20 – the climate alarmist tenured professors
Stephen Hawking and 150 other distinguished scientists – all fellows of the Royal Society – have written a letter to the (London) Times saying that if Britain leaves the European Union it would be a “disaster for UK science.” No it
The US Department of Justice has been considering whether people should be prosecuted for the offense of climate change denial. “This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether
If you’re in favour of Brexit (British exit from the European Union) it probably means you’re an oik like me or Michael Gove rather than a proper posh person like David Cameron. Brexit is our Peasants’ Revolt. This is what
Sir Ed Davey. Three words that tell you everything you need to know about the worthlessness of Britain’s honours system, the backscratching, sod-the-electorate trashiness of its political class and the still, as-yet-unaddressed lunacy of its energy policy. In an extremely crowded
The FrackNation page temporarily suspended by Facebook is back up and running. This means that — thanks to the Streisand Effect — the anti-fracking activists who put pressure on Facebook to close it down have shot themselves in their sandalled
The Facebook page of FrackNation was suspended for 24 hours at the weekend after a series of complaints by activists who objected to the fact that it was telling the truth about fracking. Filmmaker Phelim McAleer has been using the FrackNation
If Britain leaves the European Union all its protected wildlife – newts and bats especially – will be mercilessly slaughtered, surfers and swimmers will drown in raw sewage and the air will become so toxic that birds will drop dead out
