Net Zero & Green Initiatives Claiming To Save You Money


Barely a day goes by without this malicious clap trap winding me up. Yesterday I discovered a new aspect to it* which has the potential to really hit me where it hurts (in the wallet ? ). Net Zero – it really is a cunt:

Ongoing – 25% of your electricity bill is “environmental costs”.
Money Week Link.

Ongoing – ULEZ charges of £25/ day (on top of a £15/day congestion charge) if you have to venture inside the M25 and you are too poor to afford an electric car.
TFL Link.

2025 – Rental properties to have a minimum EPC rating of C to be allowed to be let to a tenant. That’s around 18 million pre-1980 houses that could be very difficult/uneconomically expensive to update affecting 70% of the house rental market. You might not be a landlord or a tenant but I’ll bet it’s not long before this pernicious requirement gets rolled out to non-rental house sales. The EPC on my old house states that to achieve a C rating I would have to fit a £20k windmill. I kid you not – utter bollox!

2026 – sale of new oil boilers banned* The ivory tower on high has decreed that you will have to spend c£20k installing a “heat pump” (that won’t work properly and will cost a small fortune to run) instead of 1/10 of that cost to replace your boiler if it packs up. That’s 1.5 million people left out on a limb.

2030 – sale of new petrol and diesel cars banned. That’s 40 million drivers disadvantaged (whilst .9 million drive around smirking in their electric cars).

It is said that Net Zero will create wealth and reduce energy bills. The truth is it’s costing us £trillions while China, Russia and the developing world laugh their collective bollox off at our stupidity while they continue pumping out more emissions than 99 UKs could ever manage. Net Zero is the ultimate cunt!

Dai Another Day


I don’t mind the Welsh being Welsh. I mean, someone has to be although their personalities seem to reflect their climate – wet and miserable.

But all this renaming of famous places into Welsh – is it not really aimed at excluding the English? And making us look stupid when we attempt to pronounce them.

Yes, I know the Welsh nationalists say it’s all about preserving their language and culture but less than 10% of the people in Wales actually speak it. And that Welsh anthem/folk song which says “we’re still here” and all that crap. Well, where would they be but in Wales? The North Pole?

Fact is, if you tried to speak Cymru in Wales most people wouldn’t understand you. I can see the point of speaking French in France or Italian in Italy. They are the native languages. But Welsh in Wales? Do me a favour. Fair enough, teach it as a second language if you must in taff schools but don’t inflict this tongue-twisting, vowel-free, spit-spraying monstrosity on the rest of the UK.

This is all part of the woke agenda which has now reached the valley boyoes (and girloes plus non-binarioes). Good Evans! (I see what you did there. Well played – NA)

And the lovely Suzanna Reid agrees with me. Need I say more?

Entitled dog owners

 

‘B-b-but you’re not dog friendly’, the dog owner wails on a business’s Farcebook/Twatter/Instacunt page, as if not allowing dogs on the premises is some sort of original sin.

Heaven forbid that some of us may not like dogs, and may ourselves want to access public and private spaces as well. How heinous we are for not enjoying the delights of fleas, slobber and loud, incessant barking.

Quite frankly I welcome it when some businesses buck the trend and have an ‘assistance dogs only’ policy – some dog owners need to realise that the world isn’t tailor made for them and their mutt.

Tara Jay Trans Activist


One of the sticks that transgender women like to beat us blokes up with is the question ‘would you date a trans woman?’. Answer no and of course, you’ll be promptly branded a transphobe.

Well I can safely say that after seeing the epitome of loveliness that is Tara Jay, I’m definitely no transphobe. In fact, I’m haunted day and night by dreams and visions of this utterly alluring and sensual creature. She’s got every soft feminine charm and wile in her armoury, and she deploys them with devastating effect.

Forget that utter dog Salma Hayek. From now on I worship at the shrine of Tara Jay. It’s love guys. As the Borg would say, ‘resistance is futile’.
