No doubt, I’ll be accused of tasteless, insensitive, gloating but haven’t we had it for centuries, southern commentators, comedians gloating about ‘chilly jockoland?’ Karma coming? In the Guardian today: Heatwaves are becoming the norm. This is what Britain will look like in the year 2052 – f you think the temperature uncomfortable today, let me take you to the last day of July 2052, the rays of the climbing sun reveal a city still sweltering in the residual heat of the day before.

Extreme heatwaves will happen to ‘a meaningfully lesser extent in Northern Britain’

The Guardian regardless of its claims of ‘quality’ joins in the campaign to smear the whole of the SNP with one man’s crimes against it.

This means that current AI developments might call themselves “green” while their impact on the climate are ignored, according to Action to Protect … Continue reading Green datacentres seem a no-brainer for energy and water-rich Scotland

There is a clear positive trend revealed in the ‘total offenders’ column data above from Re-conviction statistics for male offenders: FOI release published in March 2026. Violent crimes over the eight year period from 2012/13 to 2020/21, among under 21s fell from 181 to 44, more than three-quartered! For 21 to 30 year-olds from 492 to 231, it more than halved! Then, however, for all of the over 30 years groups, there were much more modest improvements. 51 to 60 year-olds? Just one fewer. What might explain this? On 1 January 2000, lead in petrol was banned in the UK, when Scotland’s … Continue reading Massive news missed by all of MSM – Older men in Scotland just as violent as they ever were but violence by young men numbers ‘fall off a cliff’
