Elections

 There are three reasons to call an election:


  • The meter had run out and you had to call an election because of the constitution
  • You think you are going to win now rather than in 6 months
  • You are unable to govern
For the UK, the conservatives have long ago lost the support of the people, and the recent byelection confirms the worst.  Many conservative MP know that it's all over and they want to get it over and do something productive with the rest of their lives.   So many MPs will have signalled that they want out sooner rather than later.  The crazies will be coming out of the woodwork and will try to undermine the government or introduce their pet legislation.   The opportunist who seeks a greater political profile.

For the Tories, it matters little from what my "friends" have told me, too many conservative MPs have told the party whip that they are done and gone.   That means not doing anything in parliament (or even attending).  It's not a strike for better pay it's I am out of here!   The writing on the wall has been evident for some time.  In many places, the current MP has already been replaced for the next election.

The fact that it happens now before the summer holidays says everything about the choices left.

For me at least the UK election is like a Fox hunt, the unspeakable chasing the unedible.   Nothing in this election is positive, because lets be honest it will be an anti Brexit election and on that count neither the Tories or Labour desire to win the contest (and the Libs are still to stupid to do anything right)

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
