very good report on real cost of renewables in the UK
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2025/05/20/kathryn-porter-the-true-affordability-of-net-zero/
Presumably the results would be better in Oz for solar farms but that doesn’t get away from the overall costs and shortcomings of renewables-lack of wind or sun plus the huge cost on infrastructure and upgrades to connect everything up and provide back up or base power.

Tommy Robinson released from prison

Unfortunately another UK political prisoner was not released, Lucy Connolly.
She is in jail for 31 months because of an angry Tweet she made against illegal immigrants, she deleted after a few hours, that she made in a state of outrage after Axel Rudakubana (not an illegal) stabbed a bunch of young girls, murdering three, in Southport.
In the following video Jeff Taylor discusses the Tommy release and points out that the Herr Starmer regime can’t be trusted not to find an excuse not to put Tommy back in the Gulag.

In my opinion Tommy should seek political asylum in the United States.
Not one word of the documentary he is in jail for making has ever been refuted. Elon Musk has vowed to keep it on X. There are numerous copies there. Not yet illegal to watch in Australia or in free countries. Here it is:

The Met gaslighting continues.

Well, they do need an excuse to blot out the sun, after all.

In Once Great Britain some conservative YouTubers infiltrated and filmed a once-beautiful historic building which had been infested with Leftoids who were squatting there and had vandalised the place and turned it into a cult compound, as they do.
And note the lack of diversity among them, they all look to be Anglos. Not the “diverse” crowd they pretend to celebrate.
Interesting.

Out of curiosity I’ve been listening to Their ABC Radio National (Australia) on the car radio a bit. I do it so you don’t have to.
It’s a 24/7 lovefest by Leftists for Leftists. At a cost to you, the taxpayer, of about one billion dollars a year.
For them there is no solution they can conceive of for any problem, real or imagined that doesn’t involve ever more taxes, laws, regulations, expenditure of vast amounts of taxpayer money, more restrictions of freedom etc.. And never, ever any questioning of the Official Narrative.
Also there is endless hatred of Trump and conservatives in general even though they have a legal obligation to be politically neutral.
And I find the “high rising terminal” speech pattern of typical Leftists that you hear on that station to be especially annoying. (That is, increasing the pitch of the last few words of a statement to make it sound like a question.)
According to Wikipedia a possible purpose of high riding terminal speech is:
We are going to get so much more of these things now that the Australian Sheeple have given the Left a mandate to do whatever they please with no limits on expenditure, regulation and control, removal of personal freedoms and support of every ratbag group you can imagine.

If in Melbournistan you might want to listen to 3MP 1377AM or DAB+ digital radio or streaming, which has quality contemporary music from the 60’s and 70’s, so-called “easy listening”, no uninitelligable garbage music. Very nice radio station.
You can get your intelligent and informed political discussion and news from this blog, not Their ABC or other Lamestream Media.

This story appears to lend credibility that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Trump

It might seem a good thing that the seemingly-conservative Nationals split from the Labor-Lite Liberals but consider the following.
