Published

‘People are really struggling to heat their homes and the Government is saying it’s time to increase the cost of gas so heating is more expensive!?’

    Good luck in trying to get heat pumps and solar panels into all our homes to clean us all out er it wont happen. Its an agenda not a favour.😊

    No wonder the illegals don't want to leave the hotels. Why doesn't the government start net zero by not flying all over the bloody world for their get together. Are they going to pay poor people to get electric boilers ? This is not about climate more about control.

    If they want us to stop using gas to save the planet' why don't they make electricity cheaper.

    This argument has become unbelievably narrow . People were shouting about this 50+ years ago, all of a sudden its front line news, no dout because they found a way to make money out of it. There are SO many other options to solve all these issues, but not 1 person is bringing this up . Natural gas from algae, can be done in EVERY country – Sand tanks – they heat the sand to 600degree , the sand stores the heat and it can heat a lot of homes , cheap affordable and can be built in EVERY village so so simply . Hemp oil, that can run all the diesel cars once they have been set-up to do so, not hugely expensive process and only needs to be done once . Also the hemp can be grown on farmers fallow fields and help increase there income while also creating much more natural environment for wildlife, and hemp being a soft wood also means it is helping to clean the air, just like a tree, it is fast growing, grows anywhere with ease and the by products made from hemp fibre is an endless list. Clothes , plastics(biodegradable) , medicines , building blocks , insulation , cement, the list goes on and on. and so does the list of inventions spanning back for over a century that are all extremely viable options in solving the current issues with little to no harm or difficulty to anyone. infact this will create good jobs , help boost the economy help keep things much more local. This is really just a beginning of what could be said, please can we have more options discussed than A and B(which are by far the worst of all the options available)

    This Net Zero insanity is exactly what it says on the tin. There is no climate crisis and never has been. They are using this made up excuse to commit crimes against humanity. The people in power need to be jailed or even worse. I never thought I'd see a government destroy it's own people as horribly as this. Bill Gates and The WEF need to be shown the door or freedom will vanish. The bbc hates it's own country so stop paying the TV licence, we need to get rid of false media ASAP

    We really should dump the Tories instead of our gas boilers. The MAD Labour Party are three times as bad as the lying, deceiving and betraying Tories. A vote for the mad Labour trash will be the end of Britain this is an absolute fact. We (the stupid) are ditching gas whilst the Germans and the French are building coal fired power stations by the hundreds. Is all of our politicians on drugs, dump this absolutely MAD net zero and get on with life, like other EU countries are doing. It would seem that the trash we have in Westminster is actually working against the people of this country and it’s now in our interests to get shot of the whole lot of them. FACT.

    A friend of mine in our village who is as green as you can get decided to get a heat pump installed last November. I spoke to him the other day and have learned that in February he had to have a wood burner installed just to keep warm. You should have seen his face when I explained that burning wood is worse than burning gas and that wood burners may well be made illegal in a year or two. He also had plans for an EV but apparently that has been put on hold. I must admit that I did snigger.

    January 7, 2024 at 3:30 pm

    Increasing government spending increases government debt which will force more money printing fuelling inflation – Biden's IRA will do the exact opposite of its namesake pretty much straight out of an Orwellian playbook. Snapps' "energy security" measures are similarly Orwellian as they will lead to less energy and less security. Vote reform at least they are not obviously playing the same game with our lives.

    Nobody can afford their rediculous non working air source heat pumps or their stupidly expensive and impractical electric cars. They need to think again.

    January 7, 2024 at 3:30 pm

    It's W E F policy these traitors are pushing ,net zero means half the world pop snuffed out ,which is the plan of the elites .
    You can tell the calibre of a person by the company they keep,like Schapps and B Gates ,you know Gates ,the computer nerd ,who became a world health guru overnight,and started flogging potions in a syringe 💉.

    £100? My last bill was £390, this bill was £790. This lie is killing people. There is no warming. We are entering a cold period of the Holocene Ice Age (Yes, we are living in an ice age- these people are lying fools). We are fools to trust them.

“Britain’s MOST EXPENSIVE Airbnb” – Will Kensington MOCKS the STATE of the UK

Published

on

By



Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
