thanks, MCS Register, that's really helpful air-to-air heat pumps are *so* new that they've only been installed for at least 20 years

screengrab from MCS website:

"Air-to-Air Heat Pumps

There are currently no installed certified for this technology.

Air-to-air heat pumps are a new technology that will be available to installers later this year. Please check back soon for updates."

"i have been warning both in and out of parliament for many months about iranian agents coming into the uk vis small boats across the channel.

"we deserve to be told the truth about the fairford bomb plotters' identities"

snip from the Guardian just now:

"Five men arrested over suspected bomb plot are all British nationals, police say
The five men arrested over the suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford are all British nationals from London and are all men in their 20s, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) has said.

In a statement, the CTP said they were detained on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. They are a 24-year-old from Camden, north London; three men aged 23, 24 and 25 from Westminster, and one aged 24 from Willesden, north-west London."

hadn't heard of the "centre for migration control" quoted in this story in tomorrow's telegraph googled it. we regret to announce that it appears to be a one-man "think tank" run by a guy who used to be involved in various pro-brexit campaigns www.reddit.com/r/GreenAndPl...

story from monday's telegraph

this is doing the rounds, with no one appearing to spot that it's AI slop. grrr

grid of AI images purporting to show various world landmarks lit in the colours of the ukrainian flag. the images include the palace of westminster, brandenburg gate, and eiffel tower. suspiciously the colours of lighting are identical on each building, and the lighting is impossibly even across massive facades. further, the view of the palace of westminster is from westminster bridge, but the image is "taken" from river level at an angle where the bridge would block it. the sky looks the same in all the images. finally, all the images are blurry

from https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/person/139380/kai-stephens:

Kai Stephens's policies
Statement to voters
I am proud to be representing the British Democrats as their candidate for the Clacton By-Election.

Full statement
I have chosen to stand as frankly, the choices being proposed to the public are entirely subpar.

A traitor who works in the interests of Zionism, Capitalism, Globalism, and a failed leftist comedian who copies the act of a dead man.

By voting for Binface, you are voting for 'Have I Got News For You' liberal slop politics, that perpetually degrades and humiliates our nation.

You are justifying a pro-immigration, slop message.

The British Democrats will be the only option on the paper that is serious, patriotic, and most importantly, NATIONALIST.

Vote for what you believe, without lending your vote to crooks.

from 2021: www.thepinknews.com/2021/06/18/d... Jeffrey Donaldson warning about "serious child protection and safeguarding issues" projection much?

In February 2020, he claimed that sex and relationships education was being “taken over by ideologues and special interest groups who wish to promote their own agendas which in a number of cases are leading to serious child protection and safeguarding issues”.

He said he wanted to “alert parliamentarians to the dangers involved and the potential increase in emotional, psychological and physical harms that are already arising due to the way RSE is being handled in some schools.”

i went looking for references to a hit to GDP and "project fear" i found this which, in GDP terms at least, is spookily accurate, even though that's not how the author intended it blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2018/...

“The analysis also presents a downside scenario, finding that the shock could be much more profound, meaning the effect on the economy would be worse still. The rise in uncertainty could be amplified, the volatility in financial markets more tumultuous, and the extent of the impact to living standards more acute. In this severe scenario, GDP would be 6% smaller, there would be a deeper recession, and the number of people made unemployed would rise by around 800,000 compared with a vote to remain. The hit to wages, inflation, house prices and borrowing would be larger. There is a credible risk that this more acute scenario could materialise”.

It starts with a quote from Castle:

So, in the wider scheme of things, I am lucky that I had the best gig in sports broadcasting for so long, during the greatest age of men's tennis."

i'm guessing the russian money was just too tempting for tommy ten names

extract from Guardian article:
"Those who consider Putin’s Russia to be a significant threat see Robinson’s remarks about the country as concerning. Last week he told the Guardian from Moscow: “I’ve come to see how this country got itself so well on to the straight and narrow and see the beauty of a civilised society here.”

Robinson added: “Russia is not the enemy of Britain. That narrative has long since died a natural death. There are those who benefit from pushing Russia as an enemy but everyone laughs at those people now.”

The Royal United Services Institute, a London-based thinktank, said: “Russia is one of the most prolific actors when it comes to conducting hybrid campaigns to influence the politics of other countries, including the UK. These campaigns blend online influence, cyber-attacks and other measures to try to cause offline effects – and events such as the Belfast attack certainly have the kind of incendiary potential that Moscow may seek to harness.”"
