“Let’s spend £4.5trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1.5 billion of taxpayers’ money this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by falsely claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

“I kill the pigeons, I sometimes kill the sparrows too. It gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing”
Archaeo - Histories@archeohistories

It’s fairly well known that Mao Zedong’s so-called Great Leap Forward (1958–1962) ended in the greatest man-made famine in human history—some 45 million dead, fields littered with corpses, villages emptied by hunger, and the sound of chewing bark mistaken for the crackle of grain. What’s less well known is that Mao’s revolution didn’t just declare war on landlords, capitalists, and reason—it declared war on nature itself. In 1958, the Chairman launched what he called the Four Pests Campaign, a crusade against rats, flies, mosquitoes—and, inexplicably, sparrows. The tiny birds, Mao decreed, were “enemies of the people” for daring to eat the people’s grain. And so, as one historian put it, an entire civilization mobilized against the feathered menace. Schoolchildren banged pots and pans in the streets, peasants drummed on washbasins, and factory sirens screamed for hours to keep the birds in flight until they fell dead from exhaustion. Nests were torn down, eggs smashed, and chicks stomped into the earth. The results were biblical. In Beijing alone, more than a million sparrows were killed in a matter of weeks. Rural communes competed to see who could pile the highest mountain of avian corpses, a kind of grotesque festival of progress. But victory, when it came, was short-lived. The sparrows, it turned out, had been eating more insects than grain. Within a year, the skies were empty, and the earth was crawling. Locusts rose like living clouds, devouring fields from horizon to horizon. Peasants watched in horror as the crops disappeared into the mandibles of an unstoppable plague of their own making. Rather than admit his mistake, Mao doubled down on absurdities. He replaced the sparrows with imported Soviet “science”—the theories of Trofim Lysenko, an agronomist who believed that crops could be re-educated through hard labor. Genetics was bourgeois nonsense, Lysenko said; what mattered was enthusiasm. If you plowed deeper, planted closer, and shouted revolutionary slogans loudly enough, the harvest would multiply. Yes, they actually believed that. So fields were churned to depths that strangled their roots, seedlings planted shoulder to shoulder until none could breathe, and bureaucrats inflated yields to impossible heights. Mountains of fake grain were reported; much of the real grain exported to show socialist success. By 1960, China was starving. Whole provinces were dying in silence. Peasants boiled leather belts for soup, mothers abandoned their infants by the roadside, and in some villages, desperate men turned cannibal. Still, the propaganda blared: “The people’s communes are good!” Mao’s war on sparrows was part of a nationwide war on reality itself. Years later, a survivor put it simply: “We killed the birds, and then the insects ate everything else.” It was the perfect epitaph for Mao’s age—a revolution so blinded by ideology that it devoured not only its people, but the very balance of life that sustained them. #archaeohistories

There’s got to be some kind of study conducted between Hwang losing possession and Wolves conceding goals. Terrible football player, shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting 11. #wwfc

Stephen Simkins, leader of Wolverhampton Council, has hit back at Jeff Shi following comments from the #Wolves chairman that the club weren’t getting enough support from the council. #WWFC 🗣️ Simkins: “We were disappointed by Mr Shi’s comments regarding a lack of support from the council for the football club’s plans. We have a long and proud history of supporting our football club – indeed, our crucial intervention in 1986 saved the club from collapse.” “In recent years we have worked with colleagues at the club on a number of joint projects aimed at transforming the area surrounding the stadium.” via @ExpressandStar

TBH I am sick of the leaders of European nations making speeches defying the EU, but none of them have got the balls to just leave. If Italy, Poland and Hungary said bye bye, the whole thing would begin to crumble.

Morgan wasn’t great but he cared about #Wolves, had good intentions, never took us on a painful 5-year long decline, never killed the soul of the fan base or asset-stripped the squad. Pound for pound he did a better job, imagine what he could’ve done with Fosuns billions? #WWFC
