IPCC U-Turn as it Prepares to Start Blaming Humans for Bad Weather Sat Dec 14, 2024 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Up to now the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has largely held the line on not blaming 'extreme' weather on humans. But its latest press release suggests that is about to change, says Chris Morrison.

2025 is the UN deadline for all countries to integrate climate propaganda into their school curriculum. Is this why there's been such a push recently in the UK and elsewhere to green the classroom, asks Steven Tucker.

Environment Agency Offers 40 Summer Internships ? No Whites Allowed Fri Dec 13, 2024 17:48 | Will Jones
The Environment Agency is offering 40 summer internships, but says white people need not apply as the positions are only for people of "diverse" backgrounds in an egregious example of official anti-white discrimination.

When minutes of Germany's "COVID-19 Crisis Group" leaked, they were oddly redacted. The name of a Wuhan scientist working for the German Government, Wei Cai, was concealed. Robert Kogon asks why.

Time to sort out the 'Entitled' people

Report this post to the editors

Civil servants and discredited bankers and politicians are walking away with millions. They say it is their entitlement. Who entitled them to all this? The Government should bring in an un-entitled law

Was the Croke Park agreement the cornerstone that set up all these entitlements for civil servants?

Ireland financially is in a mess although not as bad as Greece yet. Next month Greece may not be able to pay its civil servants and retired civil servants.

Being realistic, we cannot pay retired civil servants and others that receive large amount of money and the word entitled has to be over-ridden by this Government immediately

In the next budget this Government should introduce a maximum amount that retired people will receive from the Government purse no matter what their position was in their working days. Yes, Bertie Ahern and those like him will receive the same amount as a retired civil servant and no more and if they want to complain let them!

Retired Bankers should be given the same amount and anything above that they say they are entitled to should be taken by the Government for the Government purse. It will be the retired Bankers contribution due to the mess THEY created.

Our ageing population and flight of our young people to other countries because there are not the jobs here means there is only so much money to pay retired people. What is a resonable amount for a retired peron to receive per annum bearing in mind most own their houses and haven't the outgoing expenses they had when they had families. €20,000 per annum, joint €40,000 per annum? ALL should be assessed and ensure this is the max out of the public purse for older people.
This would be for everyone, those that had agreements or use the word entitled will have to live on this, let them moan!
