By Paul Homewood Not a happy chappy! Recently, a family illness was a force majeure and the Civic was being serviced so the Ford was the only transport.

Guest essay by By David Wojick In Cop 29’s “Finance agreement” diplomacy is truly the art of agreeing to nothing. There is no agreement of substance here because there is no substance to this agreement. Each side gets its number someday and that is all there is to it. Let’s look at the actual text […]

Ultimately, the market will decide the winners and losers. Automakers that prioritize consumer satisfaction over government market manipulation will thrive, while those that gambled on an uncertain future may find themselves scrambling to survive.

Around the globe, the proles are on the march. They’ve worked out that the wind and solar ‘transition’ is the cause of their crushing power bills. In the US, contrary to almost every pundit’s prediction, Donald J Trump stormed home with a very convincing victory, grabbing control of every level of government. Trump’s promise of […]
