Notwithstanding that the author is wrong about CO2 and so-called climate change, this is a very good article –
“If there were a nuclear holocaust in the Triassic, among warring prosauropods, we wouldn’t know about it.”
This is basically the plot of the science fiction novel I’ve long been planning to write, as @theoldbatsman will vouch… https://t.co/Ab0TJSksLl

The Euro has pounded Southern Europe’s economies to dust, condemning tens of millions to permanent unemployment. But look at Germany’s credit account surpluses since the turn of the century, when the Euro was adopted. It’s a monstrous and wicked scam.
Here's the German current account surplus as % of GDP. Notice that it didn't shrink AT ALL after the crisis, meaning that Germany was no help to struggling economies 2/ pic.twitter.com/gJr6v69tpU

Because Friday night is Music Night
A groovy number in my opinion, for tonight. Yep, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have covered a Ramones original. It was a live staple for a while. I like it as well. The original is great, but this is very different, and really good. Maybe even better – come at me.
Have fun whatever you’re up to this weekend, except Welsh rugby fans. As always, feel free to share your fav sounds down below –
No more special and precious than everyone else’s lives.
A recently married Thames Valley Police officer was killed last night. It’s an unspeakable tragedy for his family. They will never recover from it. A loved man, taken away by the kind of filth who have increasingly blighted so many other lives. The Thames Valley Police Commissioner today calls for tougher action on those who attack the police.
The tragic death of one of my officers must be a wake up call for our soft justice system
But I must disagree with him. Assaults against the police have become more commonplace, but then that’s true for many people. Many of those other victims have called the police in vain. For decades now the public has been increasingly abandoned by the institution of the police, which has usually been silent while the public demands sterner punishment for the wicked. As a result, the public has, to a great extent, lost faith in the police. We know that it’s a political force now, which stands neutral between aggressors and victims and which is always ready to persecute a thoughtless tweet.
Peel’s famous Nine Principles of Policing are long forgotten by the police now. I’d be astonished if recruits are ever introduced to them. Number 7 runs thus:
“To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.”
Even the founding principles of policing state that they are not different or special. They are simply us. At least that was the intention. But many poor sods have found that the police now stand ready to persecute anyone who gives attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
So welcome to the party, Mr Commissioner. Let’s come down hard on aggressors, but all of them, and not just those who aggress against the police.
No more so-called “asylum seekers”. No more killers, rapists and primitives from Third World crapholes. It’s already a catastrophe for British society.

Greta Thunberg’s $4million yacht will arrive in New York in a couple of weeks, maybe. There are deep lows in the Atlantic right now. Those rollers will be pretty big. I hope she’s not feeling queazy …
She’s doing it lecture humanity about the evils of air travel and the like. But how is the yacht going to get back to Europe? Five crewmen will fly from Germany to NY to bring it back.
So it’s a farce and a scam, of course.The virtue-signalling circus will pump out many more carbons than if she’d just got a scheduled flight anyway.
