Nigel Farage -- the gift that keeps on giving!

Good old Nigel is now proclaiming his intention to run as PM in 2029.   Good for him, I wish him luck with that.  The bottom line is that in Nigel's small brain, the Conservative Party is already dead, and Reform will take over.   Maybe but never underestimate voters' ultimate decision when they are in the polling station.   Of course, the Conservative Party is entirely at fault for the Brexit fiasco.   That Cameron still has a voice in the party tells you how desperate the party has become.  However, confusing long-time supporters of the Party with an electorate adrift forever is really to misunderstand how people behave.   

Nigel is looking for votes across the nation, he will go to Wales and Ireland and also Scotland to sell his brand, and the new "real" conservative party.   However, and this is the important bit, in a country those who have the gold rule, and today neither Scotland nor Wales are net providers to the union.   The hard cold and mean truth is that both Scotland and Wales need Great Britain more than Great Britain needs them.  Scottish nationals know that Europe is not the panacea that is Westminster and have probably already been told that to rejoin the club would be very expensive, if even possible.

Still, Nigel will make promises he had no intention of keeping (it's a thing for good old Nigel) and for the low-information voters, it may be enough to peel them away from the Conservatives of the Scottish National Party, who knows.

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...
