Imágenes de dos “trabajadores” echando nieve en una camioneta U-Haul en NYC se están volviendo virales a medida que más personas se dan cuenta de lo que en realidad están haciendo 😳

When you think about how front & centre SamCam & Carrie were in their husbands lives as PM, very little is known about Victoria Starmer. We are fed a lie that she's some sort of occupational therapist in the London NHS. Sorry, but if you're telling me she commutes to work and does a 9 to 5 with the plebs, I have a bridge to sell you. Photos would have been leaked, by private citizens, if not the media, if this were true. So where is she and what does she do, if anything? Is she even in a relationship with Keir? Let's face it, her svelte & youthful figure is an opponent of the obese & unwieldy PM. Victoria, where art thou?

'The Jackdaw gas field was discovered over 20 years ago in 2005, approved in the summer of 2022 and was expected to be in production by 2025. However its development was delayed by the Finch Case ruling that new oil and gas developments must take Scope 3 emissions into consideration. Scope 3 emissions include all upstream and downstream emissions from a product. If the gas is imported as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from the US or Qatar, Scope 3 emissions will be much higher, as LNG requires energy to be purified, frozen to -161°C, cryogenically stored, transported in specially designed ships, and regasified. The Scope 3 emissions of this process are many multiples of UK gas production; the only difference is that the LNG emissions will be attributed to the US or Qatar, rather than the UK.' Blocking Jackdaw because of Scope 3 emissions is not helping the environment. What Norway can teach Mad Ed about gas conservativewoman.co.uk/what-norway-ca… via @theconwom

@AvonandsomerRob Once the subsidies have disappeared, the economics of electric cars questionable. Most of the cost of the petrol is tax which is used to subsidise the EV’s.

The new BMW iX3 gives you almost 500 miles range and 0-60 in 6 seconds. We've now reached the age where electric cars have longer range than petrol. How long are you going to suffer £1.70 a litre, when an overnight charge, and 500 miles will cost you £7?

@AvonandsomerRob Those savings are temporary. When the tax subsidies and purchase grants are removed, they will be more expensive to run than petrol cars. When customers have no choice costs always rise.

The argument against electric vehicles has always been around range. Your average petrol car has a range of 400 miles. This Mercedes CLA AMG 250 EV can crack 500 miles on a 30 minute charge. It will also cost you less than £40 monthly in company car tax, compared to £500 or more for the fossil fuel versions. Company Car fleets have ditched petrol/diesel. When will private motorists follow suit?

Someone posted this on Facebook...so true! Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Airline surcharge tax Airline Fuel Tax Airport Maintenance Tax Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Cooking Tax Corporate Income Tax Goods and Services Tax (GST) Death Tax Driving Permit Tax Environmental Tax (Fee) Excise Taxes Income Tax Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Petrol Tax (too much per litre) Gross Receipts Tax Health Tax Heating Tax Inheritance Tax Interest Tax Lighting Tax Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Mortgage Tax Pension Tax Personal Income Tax Property Tax Poverty Tax Real Estate Tax Retail Sales Tax Service Charge Tax Telephone Tax Value Added Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Water Tax Tax (VAT) on Tax. And Now they want a blooming Carbon Tax! STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money? Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges.... And we all know what we think of Bankers. I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!! YOU can help it get there!

Elon Musk
Elon Musk@elonmusk·
Most CEOs have no idea what’s really going on
David Senra@davidsenra

IBM built a cloud of suits to make sure the CEO never talked to anyone actually doing the work. @elonmusk does the opposite. "Elon's method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth. In any organization with multiple layers, there's compounding lies. Each layer wants to look good. Each layer puts a little spin on things. If one layer lies to the next layer above it, maybe that's okay. When that happens two or three times, the lies compound. If that happens six times, the lies really compound. If that happens 12 times, the CEO has no idea what's happening. That was IBM. By the time I got there as an intern, I calculated there were 12 layers of management between me and the CEO. They even had a term for it: the great cloud. A cloud of men in gray business suits who followed the CEO around and prevented him from ever talking to anybody who was actually doing the work. When he would come to visit, it was like a visit from the king. A completely impervious bubble. That's the polar opposite of the Elon approach." — @pmarca

💥EXPLOSIVE: The Bill Gates Case: The Narrative on Trial. Amsterdam Court Of Appeal. The Netherlands. March 2026💥 If you want to truly understand what is unfolding in the case against Bill Gates, Albert Bourla (CEO of Pfizer) and Mark Rutte (former Dutch PM) along with 15 other defendants - watch this! In that courtroom, lawyer Peter Stassen didn't just speak; he delivered a calculated, scorched-earth dismantling of the defendants. What he put on the record is absolute fire. You have to watch it for yourself. This case is real. It is happening. Please take the time to watch the full update, and share it. While the mainstream media remains predictably silent, we are the ones breaking the blackout. We are the ones ensuring the world knows exactly what was hidden. History isn't just being written; it's being corrected. Never give up on the truth. This is our moment. Watch. Share. Be the witness history requires.

Has no-one bothered to study the inverse correlation between the amount of books the average person now reads and global temperatures. If people read more this emergency might be over. Literacy saves lives! dailysceptic.org/2026/03/16/scr… via @LD_Sceptics
