Hurty Words Double Standards

Recently a gentleman was sentenced (no jail but now he has a criminal record) for sending an emailed ‘rant’ to Gareth Southgate.

Now, the content was mostly an opinion and I’m not sure a criminal record was really necessary. It was certainly a foolish thing to do, as he probably never even read it anyway. His PA did and notified the rozzers. He did call him a ‘cunt’ and that can land you in bother (malicious communications etc.)

Still, I do think it was wrong to say he was racist. Seemed like an honest opinion that many share, rightly or wrongly. Just my opinion mind.

I wonder what would’ve happened had a black gentlemen sent a similar email calling the manager ‘racist’ for picking some white players over some black players?

Fuck all, I wager.

Seems fishy (or foxy?) to me all this, anyway.

UK House Price Obsession

My fellow Cunters.
For your Cuntsideration:
UK house prices-a national obsession.

They go up. They go down. Project fear racks up outright fear points by lying and spreading false news about house prices falling at the fastest rate in years…and yet:

Mirror News Link

That’s right cunters-on the whole, prices continue to rise at record rates.
Nearly 25% in the better parts of Yorkshire and 20% in the Southern Home Counties, in 12 months.

A nice house I looked at in Windermere in 2018 was available for 795k then-now it’s on the market for 1.25m.
Crazy!
There really are no winners here.

What a load of cunt?

Parking Wars (4)

As I walk the dog, I’m often appalled at the state of the estate.

Grass verges reduced to water filled mud patches, with deep tyre tracks and mud spray on the footpath.
Cans, bottles, fast food cartons, dead electric items, and the dog shit!
I think I’m living in Cairo, sure to see a camel soon.
But this, this kind of parking is absolutely the total “fuck you, I’m special” kind of thing. Unfortunately, this is not unusual, in Sheffield.

Tesla Owners, Electric Cars and the 2030 Petrol & Diesel Ban

Well here’s a story to gladden the heart of any petrol car driving cynic like me:

Yes, a 3 hour wait to charge your show off car. Did these daft cunts not realise how inconvenient being a virtue signalling prick was going to be? A two minute wait to fill my petrol banger at the local filling station represents a major hold up for me.

But there’s more. I found the following pearl on the Tesla Owners Club UK Shitface page, which I copy verbatim:

‘I’ve just been speaking to a friend who owns a garage.
I won’t name places but he said the auction house he uses has over 160 electric vehicles, 52 are Teslas, and no one is bidding on them. They’re being listed thousands under book and not getting a single bid.
A fully electric mini yesterday with a book of £27k couldn’t even get a bid of £20k.
I recon (sic) the bubble has burst.’

I would feel really sorry for Tesla owners if I wasn’t so busy laughing my cock off. Stupid cunts.

And here’s another example, this time from Fuglyucker

Ladbible News Link

Smugg Tesla driving cunts need a full charge cunting, these cunts are doing their best to Lord it over everyone else whist driving the most badly built, unreliable pieces of shit on the planet, whist on the pretence of saving the planet.

These poxy cars, their range, charging system, dealerships and owners are all bollocks, even the company owner is an uba cunt, you would think rather than shooting his substandard cars into space and spending millions doing it, he would have tried to help out his band of fuckwits customers to have a real world usable car, that works when you need it to.

Long live petrol cars and fuck the government for trying to push these electric cars on the eternally stupid…..

And Jeezum Priest has something to say about EV charging…

EV charging.

There was quite a good opinion piece in the Telegraph, of all places, that pointed out the one thing that everyone who is urging folks to go green, greenish, greener, greenest has failed to mention.

EVs use electricity. Manufacturers who make EVs produce vehicles.
They don’t produce electricity.
Future sales of EVs are falling, after all, who wants a coal fired oven if there’s no coal?

—————————————————————————————————————–

And there’s more: this one from Mikdys

We all know, by now, that electric cars aren’t really a very good idea for a host of technical, political, infrastructure, practical and even environmental reasons. Also, that the UK Net Zero target can’t possibly make the slightest difference to the worldwide situation whether or not you believe in the CO2 demon. I’d like to set all that aside and look at some verifiable numbers instead:

Car Registrations

Type: 2022 sales: 2021 sales:
Diesel 82,981 135,773
Petrol 682,473 762,103
MHEVd 72,373 98,753
MHEVp 219,701 198,025

BEV 267,203 190,727 (Battery Electric Vehicle)

PHEV 101,414 114,554
HEV 187,948 147,246
TOTAL 1,614,063 1,647,181

SMMT Link 1

UK car parc size 35,023,652

No SMMT breakdown available (free to the public) for types of vehicle within the overall parc. BEV sales increased 2021 to 2022 so, being generous, let’s assume they increased by a similar percentage year on year since 2016 when the SMMT last split the market out to AFVs (alternative fuelled vehicles), rather than Battery Electric Vehicles ,with sales of 88,919 (which would have included “dual fuel” and “LPG” etc). I calculate, being generous, that there are probably c 1,000,000 pure battery electric cars on the road currently.

Now to my main point: Sales of new petrol & diesel cars are to be outlawed as from 2030 (hybrids as well from 2035). Thus there are 7 short years to replace 34 million cars with electric ones. That would mean BEV sales of 5 million a year, whereas current sales are just 5% of that. Not at all likely.

SMMT Link 2

The average UK car age at scrappage is 14 years. So, being generous again, and moving forward 14 years from the hybrid ban date (yet more generosity), gives a total of 26 years for another 34 million battery car sales. That’s 2.5 million BEVs a year. Taking into account that potential buyers not only have to drink the Government’s Kool Aid but be able to afford an horrendously expensive electric car in order to increase overall new car demand 150% this scenario isn’t very likely either.

Keeping that generosity hat on let’s assume there exists a big enough supply of, rich, Kool Aid fans out there to keep BEV sales at .25million/year. To replace the UK car parc would therefore take another 136 years (that’s 2159 – not 2030 not even 2035).

The push for electric cars doesn’t add up whichever way you look at it – no wonder Richy Rich is advocating more maths lessons (he should start with his fuckwit Government)!

And supported by: MMCM

I would second this excellent nomination. The truth is that the technology and infrastructure won’t be in place by 2030 to support the transition to electric vehicles (AKA milk floats). It also has to be considered that the production of EV’s is environmentally damaging. For instance, EV battery manufacturers produce up to 60% more CO2 during fabrication than ICEV engine production. Once EC’s are manufactured in huge volumes that’s going to discount a high proportion of the supposed environmental gains of switching to EV’s. And most of these batteries are produced in China – which relies on coal to generate its power.

I have no issue if people want to buy EV’s but to outlaw the reliable ICE by 2030 is sheer madness and eco-authoritarianism. I’m not giving mine up.

Covid Testing of Chinese Travellers and the UK Government

China has finally admitted it has a massive covid infection problem despite its mandatory lockdowns over the last 2 to 3 years. However, the Chinese government seems unwilling to prevent international flights leaving its airports, thus running the risk of travellers carrying the disease and basically doing a repeat of what happened back in February 2020.

On this occasion, however, lessons seem to have been learnt by some countries, with the likes of the US, Japan, India, Italy and even Taiwan declaring that Chinese visitors must test negative for Covid-19 before being allowed into their respective countries.as of January 5th.

And what is the response of our government?

“(Restrictions) is not something we are looking at” – said a PM’s spokesperson

and another government twat said

“There are no plans to re-introduce Covid-19 testing or additional requirements for arrivals into the UK.”

Whatever the rights and wrongs about the disease itself, surely it is in the government’s best interests to act now and prevent yet another repeat of the disastrous management of the pandemic previously?

And in a similar fashion there’s this from DLP

This government really are inept, irresponsible, useless cunts. They have in thier infinite wisdom decided not to require at least covid tests, or better still, a ban, for people coming to the UK from China.
It was these little slit-eyed fuckers that originally spread it around the world and this dumb arsed government don’t learn from previous mistakes and seem to be happy to allow them to do it again. Or is it a ploy for another lockdown when cases start to rise in the uk, which they inevitably will unless we take action and ban flights from China.
