The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Dramatic situation in Middle East

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Friday July 14, 2006 18:37author by provetza Report this post to the editors

More than 10 days without power supply and water in Gaza, and that happening in 2006, with the global community paralyzed, not showing solidarity to Palestine and Lebanon, not to aggrevate Israel...
