Travel broadens the mind @Maori_Party. At Hiroshima ground zero memorial, just could not stop singing to myself “watching people fighting on Armistice Day, watching people fighting on Armistice Day”!

For Whom The Bell Tolls

For Whom The Bell Tolls (1943) Director: Sam Wood
★★★★☆
For Whom The Bell Tolls is a beautiful technicolor film version of Ernest Hemingway’s famous novel of the same name. It is impossible to successfully compare the film version to Hemingway’s classic novel, as so much is lost without the modernist reflections of the complex protagonist, Robert Jordan, however Sam Wood’s production does a fabulous job of capturing the main narrative, despite the film being nearly three hours long. The Hays Code, active in Hollywood in the 1940s, blocked certain romantic scenes from being shown onscreen, scenes which are quite scandalous even in the novel. Hemingway was apparently involved in the production. He hand-selected both Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman for their respective roles in the film. The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning one well-deserved award: Best Supporting Actress for Greek actress, Katina Paxinou who played the…

THE MAORI PARTY SEEKS TO AIRBRUSH HISTORY
06 Dec 2020 Leave a comment
The Maori Party is in danger of losing any respect they might have otherwise enjoyed. They claim to speak for Maoridom so let’s first turn the spotlight on that. The reality is they polled just 1.17% in the Party vote (down 0.01% from that three years previously) and won two seats. They can only claim to speak for themselves and indeed, all the other four parties represented in the house have as many MPs of Maori descent as they do (and Labour and the Greens more). The Maori Party represents the essentially disaffected rump of Maoridom …. nothing less and certainly nothing more.
I guess I can put up with them defying dress standards and wearing silly hats in the House although one might have expected the Speaker to take a less charitable view of that having said that he expects Members to obey the rules requiring MPs to conform…

War of The Walds: Germany’s Forests Overrun With Wind Turbines in Dystopian ‘Green’ Nightmare
06 Dec 2020 Leave a comment
Germany’s landscape has been carpeted with more than 30,000 gigantic industrial wind turbines: the result is a dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Except that the battle is being waged in towns and villages and most visibly in the German walds – with whole forests being clear-felled to make way for these things, rendering the landscape a hideous visual cacophony.
The little more on what your wind powered future might look like, here’s Pierre Gosselin.
Germany’s Enviro-Dystopia: Wind Parks Devastating Rural Regions At Catastrophic Proportions
No Tricks Zone
Pierre Gosselin
1 December 2020
Germany’s vision of a clean, environmentally friendly energy supply system, all to be discreetly nestled in an idyllic landscape, is in reality morphing into an environmental dystopia of catastrophic proportions.
German wind energy protest group Vernunftkraft.de posted a Youtube video showing how out of control wind energy has gotten in some regions…

Alison L Young: The Draft Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 (Repeal) Bill: Turning Back the Clock?
05 Dec 2020 Leave a comment
Things were different in 2010. If schools closed and households found themselves stuck indoors, or unable to travel abroad, it was due to snowstorms and erupting Icelandic volcanoes, not because of a pandemic. Moreover, if the then Prime Minister wished to dissolve Parliament, he did not need to adhere to the requirements of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, which fixed parliamentary terms to five years, allowing for early parliamentary general elections either following a vote of two-thirds of the House of Commons in favour of an early parliamentary general election, or following a vote of no confidence. Instead, so the draft Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 (Repeal) Bill would have us believe, the Prime Minister could dissolve Parliament and instigate a new general election by use of a prerogative power, at a date of his choosing unchecked by the courts, subject only to ensuring Parliament did not exceed its maximum…

Green Journalist Reels Against GWPF Policy Analyst
05 Dec 2020 Leave a comment
During the middle of last month, Great Britain’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, announced he would soon submit a ban on fossil fuel cars in the country that will full take effect in 2040. Appearing on Ian Collins’ TalkRadio show in Great Britain, Global Warning Policy Foundation‘s Head of Policy, Harry Wilkinson, debates Donnachadh McCarthy, a journalist from The Independent on this issue. This is why environmentalists hate to or will not debate, because their ideas are nonsense and this exchange proves it.
