The Gaping Holes in the BBC?s ?Boiling Spring? Story Thu Mar 06, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
The BBC has run a story claiming UK spring temperatures are up 1.8?C. It's alarmist agitprop straight from a Green Blob press release and it doesn't check out when you look at the facts, says Chris Morrison.

Why Are We Funding Arts Council England?s Woke Nonsense? Thu Mar 06, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
The Javaad Alipoor Company is a theatre company with a woke "nine-point manifesto that drives everything we do". Inevitably, the Arts Council is stuffing it with taxpayers' cash. Why do we fund this crap?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3It's an interesting article as it carries an anonymous quote from an airport worker "One airport worker, who declined to be named, said a number of staff were gathering support for a boycott.
The worker said:'I just feel very hypocritical about it all the time. I'm making my living partly by helping these people go to war. There is a feeling that this shouldn't be happening among a good few of the workers here. The engines of the State are facilitating this. State agencies and departments are up to their necks in what's going on.'"
Any significant number of workers at the airport initating such an action would stop refueling straight away. Note that the official union comment in the article is pretty half-hearted (probably afraid of threatenting the 'partnership' deal).
If action is taken we would need to re-focus a lot of the activity there around building solidarity for the workers concerned both in the town and amongst workers elsewhere.
See 'Tedcastle Oil website -they seem to indirectly confirm they fuel USAF' at previous posting in related link
Thanks you folks for helping refuelling the US Air Force Warplanes. I just want to
let you know that you have blood on your hands too for the many 10s of thousands of
innocent Iraqi people that we are going to bomb so as to keep the supply of cheap oil
coming over to the US here.

P.S. The War on Terror is a joke! It is just a cover for the class war. See how I give
tax breaks to the rich, nothing to the poor and thrash the environment.
It's great to know I can rely on folks like you who have no conscience.
