Spain has wind farms on much of the high ground.
Huge windmills, each of them that can apparently power 50.000 homes.
We have solar farms almost everywhere.
They are supposed to be able to power a city.
So what the fuck happened yesterday, 28th April?
At around 1pm power went out for the entire Iberian peninsula.
There was no Internet, not even cellular coverage and no mobile signal.
I was working in an area which rarely has power cuts, but I decided to drive into the town 20 minutes away to pick up a signal there.
At this point nobody had any idea of the size of the area without power.
Of course, everything was off in the town.
Shops were closing along with offices, bars and restaurants.
I continued to drive to the city where my warehouse is.
The electric security gate was open, thankfully, but there were no staff.
They had been sent home early with the hope that they could manage to get through the huge traffic jams caused by not having any traffic lights.
There was one guy in the warehouse, able to work as a few of the electric fork lifts still had power.
But he wasn’t there to work.
He had been told to stay behind to guard the place as there was no way of shutting the security gates and the alarm systems were not working.
I will have to pay him extra for that.
He was under instructions to sleep there if necessary.
Loaded by a forklift with the stuff I needed I headed home.
Electric cars were abandoned on the side of the main roads and motorways.
Fuel cars were abandoned too as they had run out of petrol.
Petol pumps in the service stations were not working.
Impossible to call anyone for assistance.
People were trying to hitch a lift by the side of the roads.
Fire engines were everywhere.
Going to rescue people stuck in lifts.
It was fucking mayhem.
I managed to get home and Mrs Cunter had thoughtfully made me some sandwiches while there was still daylight.
We sat on our terrace in candlelight with a warm bottle of wine.
Everything in the freezer was fucked and will need to be chucked out.
Just after midnight and about 11 hours after the power cut, the lights came back on.
Nobody knows what caused the outage for 60 million people yesterday, but I just hope that these Just Stop Oil and the EV enthusiasts take note.
Although only an 11 hour disruption, getting things back to normal will take a week.
Greta Thunberg, you are a fucking cunt.
Nominated by The Artful Cunter.
It must have been like going back in time a hundred years, or living in modern day Africa.
I hope you did pay Pedro extra for staying on AC. I would have been pilfering office supplies myself.

The good thing is that when it happens here, which it will, we won’t need electricity to execute Miligoon, pack a bacon sandwich into his gob and stick his stupid head on a pike at the Tower of London.

11 hours? What a lightweight. In my part of hillbilly Spain it didn’t come on properly until 11.30, nearly 24 hours. The fridge and freezer stayed cold, plenty to eat on gas cooker, cold beers and coke for the rum. Read a book by candlelight and went for a walk. Back to the good old days.

Smaller scale retail power outages are quite frequent near me. “We only take cash,” is what I will be told, sure for the moment anyway I always carry some.
7
Scam,scam,scam,scam….it makes it more fun if you obviously hum it to the spam ditty … anyway scam it is on a grand ⚖️….stock up on the 🕯️ you are going to need them 😩 …oh how we looted 🤪

Let’s see, wind and solar needs wind and sun.
A sudden generation drop in Granada, followed by others then a massive grid dump, sounds like doggy wiring 😂
We on the other hand have a robust grid, sadly it will be deliberately sabotaged by the switch over to wind as the primary generation source unless Mad Ed can be stopped.
North Sea wind kicking out 30 gw and the wind suddenly stops – clunk!
Open the mines, build coal fire power station and frack the fucking gas, that will give 50 years to crack on with building nuclear power stations capable of a steady 60 gw of constant ‘clean’ energy
Oh yes, ban the sale of electric cars
14
I nominate you as PM Sick …
You got a damn good plan there.
10
I have other policies as well, stop the boats (literally), cut benefits and deport all illegals, cut foreign aid to zero, scrap all net zero bollocks and last but not least hang all the human rights lawyers (after a fair trial of course).
12
Anyone selling battery powered radios, could have made a fortune!
7
Wasn’t it those pesky Russians that caused it?
That seems to be the media line.
Heaven forbid it could be something like solar and wind not doing as promised.
Or too many people and a decrepit system as was probably behind the Heathrow outage, seeing as they’re claiming it’s still unexplained.
If you want energy on a massive scale, sooner or later you’ve got to burn something.
The eco loons know this is the truth, but will never admit it.
10
No shit! .. the Mail went with :
“How Spain’s blackout could have been a nuclear weapons test in space: Evidence of attack as experts warn ‘cataclysm’ can knock out entire grid in seconds – and Russia may be to blame”.
With a paywall for good measure. Cunts.

Solar storms can cause quite a bit of trouble, but if we get a repeat of The Carrington Event, caves will be very much back in demand.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event
Current government policies look like making that moot.

Coming to the UK soon enough.

Absolutely, courtesy of that adenoidal cunt ‘Mad Ed’ Millipede. That nut job is fucking dangerous.
Afternoon all.

I think that it was some sort of experiment.
How will people cope without electricity and information?
The answer is, not very well.
It’s not just the obvious things like traffic chaos caused by no lights.
That can be managed by the police directing traffic.
In every city there are a huge amount of high rise apartments.
The majority of these have code access.
People couldn’t get into their own homes.
There is nowhere to park on any city streets.
The many apartment blocks have underground parking, accessed by electric doors and gates.
There were cars blocking every road, unable to enter and with nowhere else to go.
Natural gas for cooking is not a big thing here.
We have barbecues using gas bottles but who wants to risk cooking in the dark.
Besides that, it was a cold night.
Restaurants that were still open were mainly the Chinese ones.
They do use gas, but you could only pay in cash.
No cash?
The fucking ATM’s don’t work.
It must have been a coordinated effort to switch off the electricity for 60.000.000 people in 3 countries.
There is no way that there is a single point where the entire electricity supply can be cut, along with Internet access and cellular phone signals.
We still have no idea what caused it.

Miligoon would have it that a breakdown in the renewable energy supply is because of our over reliance on gas.
Work that one out if you can.

Thought you fuckin onion munchers loved candlelight?
Candlelight and gyppo playing acoustic guitar,
Charge the tourists a fortune for it!
Romantic.
You get 24hrs of romance youd think the world had ended.
What do you want electric lights for anyway?
Nowt to see.
Dust, tumbleweed and cacti.
Wasted on you electricity.
9
Ps
For the duration of your powercut i had every light in the house on.
Vacuum cleaner plugged in, radio on, telly on,
Fridge doors left open,
Floodlight in garden on, the lot.
Serves you right for sending a armada against us.
ENGLAND, ENGLAND!! 🏴
10
They have all the Jamon joints hanging up everywhere, plenty to eat without cooking and tapas, surely they can live without paella for a day.
9
We all could create our own wind farms if we ate enough baked beans.
6
I wonder how many people were sharpening axe heads thinking finally the zombie apocalypse has happened.
From some reports that I saw there was obviously confusion and traffic chaos but no mass disorder – let me know if this wasn’t the case Artful, we know that if this had been in other parts of the world people would have been looting essential supplies like flatscreen TV’s and Air Jordans.
10
London and Birmingham to name a few..
Utterly lawless savagery within a few hours of an outage.
Good.
10
I live out in the sticks so obviously nothing here but overall we didn’t seem to get those problems

Can you imagine the Guardia Civil response if there was any of that mularky Sir Mali.

Swift and deadly I would have thought. They don’t fuck around do they😂

Digression:
I believe the Everton Toffee Lady made an appearance at Goodson Park, for the last ever last game in the stadium. I was fortunate to catch one when United played there in the sixties. I kept it has a souvenir for years, don’t know what happened to it. Hope nobody ate it and made themselves ill, similar to everyone whose going to Old Trafford these days.
4
Talking of Everton, Sammy….
Those BBC cunts had a compilation on.
The greatest Goodison goals.
But – wait for it – it was only the Premier League era.
The amount of names missing was ridiculous. No Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey, Joe Royle, Bob Latchford, Graeme Sharp, Andy Gray, Gary Lineker (cunt), Duncan Ferguson.
And no mention whatsoever of the legendary Dixie Dean and Tommy Lawton.
What is it with these Beebscum? Football did not start in 199 fucking 5.
8
It’s quite odd how “fast and loose” some countries play with the single most vital source of power that we have quite rightly become dependent upon.
The generation of electrical power has transformed the world yet Modern Cunts want to roll the dice by using fucking Chinese windmills..
That’ll end well.
As our Great Leader President Trump would say “Fuck Around and Find Out”.
9
Carnage when they start here 🤦. Chuck Millipede on the bonfire 🔥🔥

We could have a very solution in this country.
Bring back the treadmill and modernise it.
Treadmill ➡️ Dynamo ➡️ huge capacitors.
Long banks of enormous treamills, faaaahsands on ’em.
Every single immigrant has to ‘volunteer’ for 8 hrs a day, 7 days a week for 6 months until they’re deported with an accompanying kick up the arse.
England would have almost free electricity, no stabbings/muggings and the indigenous winners of raffles would be allowed to employ liberal use of the cat o’ nine tails against any lollygaggers.
15
Sounds like a cunning plan…
Your post reminded me to go check if there had been a hint of honesty added to the London 5-stabbing stabfest story at the 4:30AM ‘music event’ 2 nights ago, but god damn it – wouldn’t you know – some other currently dead guy took a blade in London at 03:30 LAST night, and now all the non-news is focusing on not giving any hint of details about that one instead, despite the knifeman being at large.
One remains unenlightened on either matter.
10
Deportation sounds expensive.
Think Oven.
After every English man has kicked them right up the hoop in Ammo Boots.
Bring It On.

They’ve been doing it in Brazil since 2012.
Using prisoners.

Alians, they were the cause of the power outage in Spain, the same lot that blew up that transformer near Heathrow. This info was supplied by Tom the bomb a local wise man who once worked on the electricity board and was the common denominator in various man hole explosions, sub station fires post Tom carrying out work in the vicinity and melting wall mounted heaters. There you are alians, makes more sense than eu surrender two tier cunt.

Welcome to a brave new world. Coming to a town like yours….!
Politicians really are as thick as fucking mince..🤡
9
I do wonder if, when a person becomes a member of the cabinet, they’re visited on the first day in their parliamentary office by an unsmiling gentleman who tells them to open the manila envelope proferred to them. In it are a picture of the recently murdered Dr. David Kelly and a typed note stating “you will do as you’re told”.
13
Politicians really are as thick as fucking mince.
I think you have it there Doc. I’ve come to the conclusion that they must be genuinely stupid because if they were malicious but had a three figure IQ they would not say and do things which are so obviously fucking bonkers.

The eldest daughters boyfriend works on solar farm / battery storage installation, or summat.
The fucking traitor.
The last job he was on, all these large storage units, which are made in KungFlu Central, contained a completely sealed unit that nobody here has a clue what purpose they serve 😯
You could hazard a fucking good guess.
The West really needs to wake up. We’re under attack and in great danger of seeing The Sun Go Down on life as we know it.
More importantly….. Me, The Hound and Ethel are still deep in Cunt Engine territory and have still not located a decent scone ☹️
Wiltshire really needs to step up 😁
Good afternoon 🌞👍
9
We’re sorry Jack.
You and Ethel should pop round my house for a visit.
You’d be more than welcome.
I’d be happy to show the pair of you the recent security upgrades to my love dungeon and then we can have scones with jam.
I’ll make a batch fresh.
They’ll be very…errr…’relaxing’.
10
Dont do it Jack!!!
Hes drugged the jam!
Youll wake up with a funny taste in your mouth, a curly wig badly applied lipstick and a fresh tattoo.
If you wake up.
Which you might regret.
11
You reckon Jack and Ethel would fancy some of my delighful mushroom risotto, MNC?
They’re already on one trip; they might as well take another, more robust one.
8
We’re not daft enough for that MNC.
We don’t want to be part of a human caterpillar 😃

He calls it “Hansel & gretel fishing”.
His house is the only one in Royal Wootton Bassett thats made from nougat.
Laced with LSD.

I read, recently that hidden switches have been found in solar panels imported from the land of endangered pangolins.
The purpose of the switches is, at present, under investigation, but I’m sure we could hazard a good guess, especially if they can be remotely activated.
9
What does it say above the door ?
” You’ll never leave ”
Scoundrel 😃
8
If it happens here, it will echo the New York City blackout of July 1977.
Scores of blacks looting and committing arson.
8
Can you imagine the Dakis in a prolonged power cut?
They infest town centres at night as it is.
No wihite woman would ever be safe in that situation.
9
Being dependent on any foreign country for fuel is a total cunts trick.
It just means that,in effect,you are totally defenceless and completely at the mercy of unknown dark forces.
Happy Clappy politics by cowardly faggōts for 30 years has left us in the stocks with our pants pulled down.
The sooner the Chinese switch off our windmills and nuclear the better..
Then we can get back to our own oil and gas which we won’t offer to the “global market”..why should we?
