offsite link 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.

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?

Excellent report indeed. Respect to the Gardai but pity they are not out on the streets in force like that when innocent people are getting the shit kicked out of them - and their lives taken from them.

Some great pictures there. The Garda appearing in the first photo, beside the flag, does he attend every left wing demo in Dublin? :)

Around 200 protestors, not the biggest rts event, i'll bet the lovely gards thought they'd just be kind and help boost numbers. Sure the amount of traffic disruption caused by parked vans, loitering gards and horses really clogged up the streets. And they have such pretty bright jackets to keep the trapped motorists amused at their antics, and those cameras sure they were just trying to put together a documentary of their protest against cars to show the other lads at the station in the hope it will catch on, before you know it gards blocking traffic randomly will be a regular thing. Good to see them on board after their previous indiscretions, sure they subvert the state more than any of us could hope to.
