The Rivers of Blood speech was in 1968. At the time no one even knew what Islam was. It was also about another time, which one conservative pundit described to John Anderson as a terrible speech that had nothing to do with the period. He claimed it also set back British conservatism by a decade. The pundit claimed that immigration in the 60s was working , whereas it doesn’t work now.

Give me a break. Israel handed Gaza to the Palestinians 18 years ago. Hamas staged a coup and evicted the former Palestinian Authority. They then turned Gaza into an armed camp which sent rockets into Israel.
Prior to that, the so-called Palis in the west bank had to be sealed off by a wall because they kept doing bombings in public places – like on buses or in restaurants.
Are you quite certain of that?

I’m not surprised he doesn’t like Powell. Murray is a right-liberal, not a conservative. If you’re only going to notice that immigration has become a problem when it has become a problem its usually too late.
On nuclear v solar, UAE just built 4 new reactors in a single facility that generates about twice the amount of Loy Yang in 9 years and under budget. I wonder why a Gulf state didn’t just go solar?

As I understand it, Powell wanted to minimise the possibility of “Rivers of Blood” by stopping culturally incompatible immigration.
We didn’t do that, indeed we are expanding the problem. Step 1 has to be to stop culturally incompatible immigration. Step 2 has to be to reduce the numbers of culturally incompatible immigrants here, possibly by paying them to go away. Step 3 is to enforce assimilation by those who choose to remain. No special privileges, and equal application of the law.

Murray is someone who has a great deal of enmity for Islam and in that respect he holds the cards.
Yeah, Harry Hindsight is right 100% of the time.
Pauline Hanson v Faruqi defamation case going to be interesting.
2 Paras from the Oz article
“As part of building evidence for the case, Senator Faruqi’s representation Marque Lawyers tweeted an online survey when proceedings began. The survey, titled “How Does It Make You Feel?”, asked participants “to indicate your view” on the tweets from Senator Hanson.
The survey was viewed by 9430 people, and 776 filled it out. Nine of them had their Twitter accounts tendered as evidence”
Twitter surveys now become evidence ! WTF. Anybody who has seen Marque Lawyers on Twitter knows they are perfect fit for Faruqi.
If they can do a survey on Pauline then it would be like doing a survey on Faruqi amongst Sydney lawyer Tony Nikolic’s Twitter followers.

Murray was criticizing Powell and yet he was right overall about immigration. That’s not Harry Hindsight. Moreover, the ‘Harry Hindsight’ stuff is a bit of a palm off, especially when actual conservatives are pointing out the imprudence of doing X or Y and being told when X or Y happens the liberal replies, “sorry, we couldn’t foresee the likely consequences of X or Y”.
BTW re our dispute with energy provider over gigantuan electricity bill:
1. discovered that in the last quarter when a smart meter was installed we are on a “plan” (who knew?) that costs us mightily. Of course, the supplier had not given us any options. We are supposed to know these things.
2. It seems our oversize and antiquated roof air con is gulping down loads of energy. As I type this we have an aircon techo examining it to see if we can just replace the motor. Of course it was an independent sparky who explained this to us & suggested a remedy. He had some bad bad things to say about these unscrupulous energy companies.
She should try again. I expect she would be welcomed with open arms these days.
Possibly the numbers look better for the glowing stuff over the sunny stuff when all costs taken into account over the long haul?
Wasn’t the same chicanery behind the widely touted “97% of scientists” about Global Warming (as it was still quaintly known in those days)?
They sent out a survey to a vast hodge-podge legion of some 1200 or so scientists of whom only a fraction even responded. With a few more convenient parings they whittled it down to 77 out of 79 agreeing that the climate was heating and that human activity was chiefly to blame. There’s your 97%.
In fact out of 1200 they only got 77 who bothered to agree.
We call this 6%.

He made the speech in 1968. We’re now in 2024 and Powell had no freaking idea what was going to occur 56 years later or the various things that would occur to kick off the current plight. Moreover, your criticism of Murray is simplistic and trivial at best. Rather than assess the value of the criticism, for you, it’s enough to say, Oh, he’s a right-liberal. And you’ve never provided a reasoned commentary on what you mean by liberal. It appears that being liberal to you means anything you disagree with.
Ok, whatever that means.
Harry Hindsight is mocking people who think they can accurately predict the future as though they were prediction muftis. Like Faulty 2.

In the Thames filled with blood speech, was Powell also including this cohort of Ne’er-do-wells?
Of course, you all realise that Martin Armstrong doesn’t actually write his grifterbait himself.
Looking at the plethora of recent posts, it is abundantly clear that he’s using a ChatGPT prototype.
He’s not even dialling it in. He’s clicking a mouse and watching the gullible empty their wallets.
Much discussion of Enoch Powell’s famous “ Rivers of blood “ speech in 1968.
As I understand it, Powell was not predicting blood in the streets, although those in favour of huge immigration to western counties now present it as such.
Powell was a very erudite professor of classics – was at Sydney Uni and tutored Gough Whitlam before returning to the UK to enlist when WW11 started.
Powell was referring to a phenomenon where the River Tiber occasionally ran red (algal bloom?) and the ancient Romans took this as signifying approaching calamity.
Powell saw then current evidence as likewise signifying coming problems, as an Ancient Roman would have done on seeing the Tiber running blood red.
The classical reference Powell made was and is completely clear – many educated adults in 1968 would have understood it. In 1968 only those in public life determined to misrepresent his warning
misquoted Powell and this has become the accepted version.
Easy to forget today how widespread some education in the Classics was.
My father was very working class, went to a Catholic school – and like many of his schoolmates, could still write the Greek alphabet and decline Latin verbs 40 years later.
Latin was needed to study Law and Medicine until the 1960s, too, I believe.

The Rivers of Blood speech was in 1968. At the time no one even knew what Islam was.
Islam, blacks, Pakis etc; the point Enoch was making is preferential treatment to immigrants who do not share the host nations values and laws, in fact despise and oppose them, is a disaster. Boambee John (Mar 12, 2024 5:21 PM) puts forward some solutions which would have worked. Unfortunately we are beyond that now. Powell was very prescient, although its just common sense that if you let someone into your house who hates you, you are going to have trouble. Powell may have been thinking of a potential race war, which is still on the cards, BLM etc, but his point still holds for islam, even more so.
Absolutely. The trouble with these new armchair critics of Israel is that none of them seem to know anything of the history of Gaza & the West Bank. Not that the ignorance deters them – they just ignore any protestations about the reality of the past few decades. They are ideologues – even if the ideology arises from pitiful understanding of the facts.
Yes and as the Gaza Strip used to be held by Egypt at one time then just give it back to them. Their problem then –
“The 1949 Armistice Agreements, which ended the 1948 Arab–Israeli War by delineating the Green Line as the legal boundary between Israel and the Arab countries, left the Kingdom of Egypt in control of a small swath of territory that it had captured and occupied in the former British Mandate for Palestine: the Gaza Strip.”

The little shitstain said how could she endorse someone who has been found by a jury to have raped another shitstain, E Jean. Mace corrected him a number of times that Trump had not been found guilty of any crime but was found by a jury of other shitstains to have committed sexual assault against the E. Jean shitstain by denying he had raped her.

If no one knew what Islam was, how come Winston Churchill made several famous quotes about it. Here’s one:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

IMMUNITY
“The Constitution doesn’t directly discuss presidential immunity from criminal or civil lawsuits or immunity for other government officials. Instead, this privilege of Presidential has developed over time through the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Article II, Section 2, Clause 3:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
The legal doctrine concerning Presidential Immunity dates back to its 1867 decision Mississippi v. Johnson, 171 U.S. (4 Wall.) 475 (1867), where the Supreme Court established that the President is largely beyond the reach of the judiciary by holding that it could not direct President Andrew Johnson in how he exercised his purely executive and political powers. The ONLY exception is an impeachment for a crime. The Court stated it had no jurisdiction . . . to enjoin the President in the performance of his official duties.”

Disagree as you will, but history shows that when peoples backs are against the wall, they are capable of all sorts of atrocities.
Foxbody is correct – ‘rivers of blood’ was a classical reference.
Powell, for all his intellectual and rhetorical brilliance, had a blind spot in that he was more concerned with West Indian immigration than that from the sub-continent, possibly because he held the culture of the latter in quite high regard and could speak Urdu.
Nearly sixty years later, it’s clear that the West Indian migrants were much more able and willing to fit in with British culture than their sub-continental and Pakistani counterparts in particular, not least because many of them were devout Christians.
Is there anything more representative of the socio-cultural spasm in our nation right now than a Murri* (Qld indig) driving school?
If the business is not taxpayer-subsidised, and the owner is taking advantage of an identified service shortage – good on them.
The idea though, that only the accumulation of 660,000 years of indigenous ‘continuous living automotive culture’ is appropriate for individuals partially descended from people who did not even possess shoes, let alone the wheel, must be close to the height of P.D. (Peak Dissonance).
The continuing efforts to create and enforce segregation to cover for what amounts to extortion – nothing more than theft on an almost immeasurable scale – stands in bollocks-naked contrast to every atom of halitosis propaganda launched against us. The last two words – ‘against us’ – are the nub of it all.
* I don’t know which regional dialect the word ‘Murri’ came from, but to use one word from one geographic area to describe the total inhabitants of a huge state (coloniser boundaries!), seems to be somewhat patronising and disrespectful, no?

You said there have been 65 murders and woundings since 2001. Most of those, I would guess, occurred in the 10’s such as the bus explosion incident. Where is this river of filled with blood, Iodine?

Just provide links. Learn how to do it and stop the childish behavior. It’s not impossible, even for you.
Powell didn’t need to see what would occur in 2024, it was enough for him to predict major problems arising with mass immigration from culturally distinct countries. Murray is simply trying to quarantine contemporary criticisms of immigration from associations with Powell.
I’ve provided explanations and clarifications in the past, they’re only controversial because of the implications they have for right-liberalism.
Like they mocked Powell, only to be mugged by reality later on.

1. Powell was being selective with the countries he was grousing about. See Roger’s commentary earlier. He got even that part wrong.
2. How do you know what Murray was attempting? This mind reading caper is really something. Your very first criticism of Murray’s comments was that he’s a lib-right. When that didn’t work because I reminded you of his immigration comments, you’ve meandered off, and now it’s about quarantine or something.
Murray’s criticisms of Muslim immigration and related issues can’t be faulted from that side of the debate. He’s calling it as he sees it, even if he is a lib-right, as you referred to him.
I disagree.
Powell was talking about the present at that point in time. Mugged by reality has nothing to do with it, moreover, where is this bloody river?
No, as you well know, I’m asking you if the history of 65 evil deeds over 23 years fits into Turtlehead’s belief that the UK is nearing or has entered a civil war.

Monty – Truth is always the minority position. It’s why Christians understand what the bible teaches about the remnant, the minority report if you like. As Einstein said to the 100 authors against him that if he was wrong it would take only one of them to demonstrate that. None did. I can’t help but notice that you have failed completely to demonstrate that any policies we discuss or advocate are wrong. That’s because we are correct, on the bases of science, logic and economics, and you are not.
I think he was wrong in his assessment of West Indian migrants, yes, although we’re necessarily taking in general terms.
Culturally, the WIs were more “British” than the migrants from the sub-continent, be they Hindu or Muslim. Powell didn’t recognise that because of certain cultural – not racial – prejudices that he mistakenly held.
The real problem, however, was that all were British Commonwealth subjects entitled to migrate to Britain under the law at the time. The immigration law had not kept up with reality, just as international refugee law today, based as it is on the post-WWII context, is unfit for contemporary purposes.
Islam needs to go down the same road as Scientology. It was tolerated for decades and then something happened. IIRC Germany banned it, people started speaking out against it, and even Hollywood actors are abandoning it, with one in particular publicly declaring war on it. I haven’t seen references to Islamophobia lately. Perhaps that signifies a turning point. I hope so. A few European nations, while not explicitly stating they are targeting Muslims, recently have adopted policies that are aimed to reducing their numbers and I imagine have created stricter immigration measures to prevent more entering their countries.

The Channel 9/Muderis defamation case is not pleasant.
The mechanics of osseointegration is not pretty.
Muderis and his team have meticulous notes, digitally time stamped, showing that he delivered on what he said he would.
And he has a terrible bedside manner.
Every one of the former patients who have been called by team Muderis last week & this week are tragedies.
Amputees, many with other substantial injuries (burns, other broken bones), most with depression.
Some of the communications (emails, text, fb posts) amongst themselves have been outrageous.
And I feel sorry for them as their lives have gone off the rails.
It seems like Muderis pitched his work to people who would have had trouble doing the required re-hab based on their previous re-hab work.
At the same time, some of these patients are blaming Muderis for either their own terrible re-hab or poor after care from their local health providers.
Bottom line, it looks like Channel 9 preyed upon some very vulnerable people.
Another real question is who should be considered for osseointegration & that’s regulatory type situation.
Some people are not suited.
J.C:

You refuse to read the list I found.
Pathetic.
It’s been well established that Muderis has had a lot of successful osseointegration procedures.
Mainly with younger people, with ready access to metro health care to deal with infections, with not a lot of other factors (recovering from burns & other injuries).
I post very little about my “lifestyle”.
I’ve not once mentioned I’ve dined with famous people. I most certainly have said that I’ve seen famous people because it’s true, I have. Just like most people that live in NYC have.

The global warming crusader who wants to get rid of fossil fuels including a ban on all new coal, oil and gas projects managed to rack up an annual expense bill for 2022 of more than $960,000.
As reported in the Herald Sun on Tuesday, that extravagant amount does not include Bandt’s $300,000-plus salary or the wages of his personal staff.
Bandt’s annual expenses bill of almost $1m included government COMCAR trips, taxis, a government provided private vehicle, domestic flights and even a couple of private jet charters.
You’d think the main transport favoured by a party that pushes the most extreme climate policies would be public transport, not private cars and jets, but I must’ve missed the myki card expense report.
It remains unclear why Bandt thought it appropriate to spend more than $15,000 of our hard earned on a private plane between Canberra and Brisbane to attend a Greens event when there are multiple airlines flying between those two destinations regularly.
Indeed, you can travel that route for as little as $240 with Virgin Australia, $273 with Jetstar and $340 with Qantas.
So, why should taxpayers be expected to stump up $15,000 for a neo-Marxist to attend the election campaign launch for the Greens.
A Greens spokesman defended Bandt’s spend-a-thon saying: “As the leader of the third-largest political party in Australia you would expect Mr Bandt would engage in extensive travel and unlike the Prime Minister and many ministers he doesn’t have access to government VIP flights … all Mr Bandt’s travel is within entitlements.”
You know what else was within entitlements?
Bronwyn Bishop’s $5000 helicopter flight was also “within entitlements” but that didn’t mean it passed the pub test.
And despite apologising and then covering the cost, Bishop was still forced to step down as speaker of the house.
Don’t expect such accountability from the Greens leader.
Herald-Sun
You told us the stat, 65 killed or wounded since 2001. You’re pathetic and so are your links.
Islamic terrorism doesn’t only have direct victims.
After 9/11 airline cockpit doors have been locked. This has resulted in hundreds of airline passenger deaths when flight crews were incapacitated or malicious.
See German Wings, Helios Air and maybe MH 370.
The bastards have seriously degraded our quality of life with all the security measures we are now taking against them.
I particularly hate getting on an airliner where the airport security is run by the bastards.
I also hate how small country aerodromes have been turned into something resembling Stalag Luft 17.
Rudyard Kipling described Islam perfectly.
What you should be arguing, is something like this, turtlehead.
In order to have Muslim immigration, you also require an outsized domestic intel and policing operation to try and thwart any potential terror attacks. It also means that domestic freedoms have to be curtailed. Lastly, the welfare of minority groups will be threatened.
That’s the sort of argument you should be making instead of pretending there is or predicting a UK civil war, or even one here. But you’re just a hyperbolic imbecile who every day makes strides to act as the site’s Faulty.

Dunno Wodney, depends if you’re taking the Porsche Miata for a spin this evening.
😕
JC:
It’s probably because your ego won’t allow you to do so. Heavens you just may have to regard me as being right. That would be traumatic for you wouldn’t it?
So I’ve done it for you:
There are 124 dead.
This doesn’t count the wounded who were saved by the bystanders and medics. It also doesn’t count the Irish and Scottish dead/wounded.
Wounded 1028.
61 Attacks.
The link again.
Sneer at those, you cretin.
No he wasn’t. All you can say here is that he feared the wrong immigrant.
I’d only be ‘mindreading’ him if I wasn’t reading his statements and was unfamiliar with his work. No, that wasn’t my first criticism ofhim, before you named the pundit I already guessed s/ he would be a right-lib given by what you already said. I haven’t meandered off, quarantine here simply means he wants to protect his criticisms of immigration from associations with Powell.
Criticizing Muslim immigration as a right-lib is not courageous.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t provided them.
No, he was talking about the future as a consequence of the policy of the day. You don’t think Rotherham, etc. are consistent with the metaphor?
Setting aside Rotherham, etc. my inclination is rather that civil war is very unlikely because most Anglophone countries are filled with ‘last men’.
These days he appears to be posting very little about owning a pub.

That may be so, but it doesn’t stop the phrase from being repurposed. That is one of the strengths of the English language.

There is no need to look at the link. They’re almost always loon sites. Even so, I took your stats at your word. 65 people over 23 years doesn’t represent a civil war, you overblown, hyperbolic asshat.
No.
Then I’ll take that as a white flag from you, dickhead.
What a load of cobblers, Bruce. Kierkegaard is not dispositive evidence.
I have said multiple time times already that you are not wrong on the basic science. Nukes exists, nuke power plants exist, sure.
What you are dead wrong on is the economics and the politics. You lot continue to deny the reality of the economics of solar PV which have obsoleted nukes as a power source, for the vast majority of practical purposes. Some places have existing nuke infrastructure which it makes some sense to keep exploiting, but most of those have long since abandoned nukes for solar and wind.
If you watched Ted O’Brien get slaughtered on 7:30 tonight, you might understand how the politics are completely against what Dutton is trying to do. The entire party is flailing about, looking more and more foolish. He is prancing into a minefield.
It is amazingly stupid politics on all but one level: it is a distraction from any real electoral issues, to allow him to posture to gormless idiots like you that he is on your side against the world. Dutton doesn’t want to engage with any of the Carcetti-style bowls of shit sitting in front of him, so he sets loose this squirrel and gets his media mates to focus their cameras on it instead of figuring out how he is going to win back Teal seats or somehow win a satellite suburban Labor stronghold seat before 2040.
Most minorities are in the wrong, in both hard and soft sciences. Humanity in totality is not stupid, even if individuals like you are. You are most definitely wrong on this one.
Well, that’s okay then.
What was the initial criticism that he’s a lib-right all about. If you’re aware of his opinions you obviously are also aware of his thoughts on immigration.
How so, if he’s critical of UK immigration policy? You argument makes little sense. He believes Powell’s speech was wrongheaded for the time and did great damage to the conservative side. You’re now mind reading and implying his arguments are totally misplaced because he’s critical of Powell.
Who suggested it was? He makes thoroughly good arguments on the subject.
I disagree again.
“last men”, means what?
Said the admitted entry-level economics failure.
Like the Greens?
Thought so.
And that’s enough for me for tonight.
Having just bought a digital copy of “Alas Babylon” I will go and read it.
You want more pub posting? Sure, glad to help. Lizzie, Rosie, JC, Vicki, Calli et al post come daily life goings on, I can round that out a bit with some pub life vignettes.
Stand by.

You hyperbolic imbecile.

Your energy issues had nothing at all to do with the meter in the same way that they had nothing to do with chemtrails, 5G or alien pyramid builders.

Never happened.
This is what I expected to see during the initial covid lockdown, that medical professionals would look at a whole plethora of medications to see if they could work against covid while we waited for a vaccine.
What we got was almost a ban on this practice of medical experimentation and even medications we knew worked on almost any flu were strongly discouraged. I will never forgive ScoMo or Gladys for what was done to us, they practically told us everything we knew was wrong and only their CMOs were right yet they never showed their work.
Saw that Ivermectin carrying on at Twitter by Fitzsimian, he’s clearly got zero self-awareness.
Dickhead does not begin to adequately describe him.
Who or what are ‘last men’? I have never heard of that term.
Pete blows up the Liars.
You go girl.
Greens are frequently wrong on a great many things. Their command of detail is supremely shouse. Comes from never having been in government, they haven’t ever had to be responsible or pragmatic.
They have the general idea right… like you on nukes. Also like you, they fail miserably at the slightest bit of scrutiny of cockamamie policy wishcasting.
Um, isn’t that just a photocopy of the Renewable Energy Zone thing that Gez was complaining about?
They should call it the NuP for short. Or the Split-Atom Energy Nuke Zone: Split-ENZ.
What a balls up of a policy from start to finish.
Renewables have to have storage as they are only dispatchable for 30% of the time and that is an average of not a stat for every unit and that is regionally weather dependant.
The battery component to create a grid that could be 85% renewable is uncosted in the ISP except for pumped hydro in Snowy 2.0.
Battery storage and an endless transmission build is a cost that Bowen and AEMO cannot admit to as it destroys the cheap claim.
Solar, wind and batteries degrade at an increasing rate as the asset ages.
Efficiency falls off, unlike base load hydrocarbons or nuclear.
You can’t pop an economic advantage to solar without costing the structural necessities that are a new and ongoing spend unlike nuclear positioned on existing coal sites and using the existing grid.
Every connection from a renewable project needs a 100 million spent to convert the DC to AC and hook it into a compatible transmission line.
You could not get finance from a bank for such a business model and that’s the reason eye watering subsidies and guaranteed returns have to be provided by government otherwise it’s unviable.
The public fund nearly all of the infrastructure for corporates to exploit. That’s why Twiggy is so very very keen.
Heffer’s four volume history of Great Britain, from the making of the Victorian Age, to World War Two – “High Minds,” “The Age of Decadence”, “Staring At God” and “Sing As We Go” are interesting and educational reading. Highly recommended.

The big loads – i.e. the stuff you see on those ‘Heavy lift truckers’ type shows, happen in the dead of night.
One of the minor benefits of pub life is you’re about when everybody else is asleep.
One of the major obstacles for big loads is which towns will they even fit through? And where can they cross rivers?
Big loads usually go past at or just after closing time. Often you can tell they’re coming, as in the middle of the afternoon witches hats are placed all along the street, to stop anybody parallel parking.
This is because if the road is blocked, a big load cannot get along the street.
This means a really wide load is coming through early in the morning.
Sometimes they’re so large they have to follow a special route, i.e. they don’t stick to their side of the road, but will cross & go up the wrong side of the street.
This brings them past the front of the pub so close you can touch them.
It’s a pleasant change to the groundhog day routine of pub life, & a real “gee whiz” moment just to see the heavy lift truck & even more the load.
These are the sort of special moments that make pub life unique.
Fatboy
The only thing you’ve argued is that intermittent sources such as propellers on sticks are plastic panels offers cheaper energy than nuclear.
While ignoring the eventual introduction of modular factory made reactors which will produce very cheap energy, let’s say that won’t happen.
The fact is that people will accept higher cost energy as long as we know that when you turn on a switch the light will go on and we don;’t have to worry if it wasn’t a sunny or windy day. Also, the entire planet would be littered with that crap. Now STFU and get back in the basement as lockdown rules still apply to you.
If mUnturd thinks that electric trains (to take a simple example) can be run on solar PV, he is more deluded than even I thought.

A really big heavy load went past the pub a couple of nights ago, just after closing time.
It had to come down the wrong side of the street it was so wide. The advance party had not cleared the street & I was parked in front of the pub.
The really big wide high load came creeping up the street, like a gigantic Tiger Tank (a type of panzer). It went so close to my ute I thought it was going to strike the rear & do lotsa damage – to the ute.
Phew, it missed, thank God truckies know what they’re doing. The truckie gave a look that said “Mate, there was at least a whole inch of clearance, you didn’t have to worry” before getting back to watching the road.
Truckies, carrying Australia & doing it with spatial awareness to match that of a farmhand.

This is one of the darker aspects of the new post-2016 Uniparty structure. Republicans may be in a civil war for another 2 decades & unable to stop this in time, bc GOP’s Chamber of Commerce & DOD wings seek to benefit commercially & militarily from what benefits DNC politically.
Okay. They won’t happen.
Sally, stop talking about your big loads. It’s not that kind of blog. Keep it for your OF.
Last man
The last man is a term used by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of his theorized superior being, the Übermensch, whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra. The last man is the archetypal passive nihilist. He is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security.
Wheat carting, way back when – the “code of the bush” was that, an empty truck returning from the wheat bin, would pull off the road, and give way to a loaded truck, heading to the bin.
“Empty gives way to loaded” = the rule of the road.
You lot continue to deny the reality of the economics of solar PV which have obsoleted nukes as a power source, for the vast majority of practical purposes.
You’re a fuking moron dickless. Solar and wind don’t have economics because they’re weather dependent. Anyway there have been 2 excellent posts, one by me, about the stupidity of levelised costing as a means of comparing W&S with any other energy source. In fact any comparison is stupid because W&S can’t run a grid.
Honest mistake.
I knew that someone critical of Powell yet on an Anderson podcast would be a right-lib. Educated guess.
My argument makes perfect sense. I said he wants to be critical of current British immigration policy but doesn’t want his criticisms of it to be mistakenly associated with Powell’s previous criticisms, even though, his, like Powell’s, involve criticism of the cultural character of certain British immigrants. This isn’t mindreading.
Someone that will not put at risk their Netflix sub, access to Doordash, and the like, for any real or imagined injustice.
There’s the problem right there. SBW knew what was required back in the day.
A classic “You lot” post. Guess we can add grid scale electricity generation to the list.
Translation: Dr Faustus found some random rant on a message board somewhere that totally disproves a comprehensive study by domain experts at one of the world’s premier investment advisor firms.
Are you kidding, it’s hyper mind-reading. You haven’t seen the podcast, don’t know what the entirety of his comments but you can read his motivation for saying what he did.
I can understand the Doordash argument, but how does Netflix come in it? You realize Netflix is a streaming service and doesn’t require any form of physical delivery, right?
This episode from today supports the theory of devolution.

Translation, Dr Faustus works in the field of energy delivery and knows what he’s talking about and Monty just parrots what he reads on greenie websites.
Those chuntering about LCOE should probably read pp361-2 of the latest World Nuclear Report, prepared by the industry itself.
Cost graphs haven’t improved for nukes. They keep getting worse. It’s a lost cause.

mUnty (in a random rant on a message board)
doesnt know that LCOE is a retarded crock of shit which presupposes that the utility from solar is the same as the utility form nuclear
let’s turn off the nuclear every night and let solar take the load shall we?
Yes, yes I can.
Are you for real?
Thanks Kevin, a very useful resource.
Exactly. That’s my point.
That Netflix is a streaming service and not physically delivered? Yeah -:)
But I do like how you’re assuming it’s just laziness and a slovenly attitude rather than people simply not being worried about it as much as you are.
and the doubling of infrastructure and support overspend are not part of any LCOE calculation
like the interconnector they want to blast through your farmland
mUnty should stick to fantasy football
Fatboy, this isn’t a report prepared by the industry. It’s an astroturf organization.
One of the the lead authors.
Faggot works for environmental groups? Who are they exactly? Any guesses?
Not at all. I’m perfectly able to answer the question, why would Murray criticize Powell? without having listened to the podcast, given my previous familiarity with Murray’s arguments re immigration, he’s on a podcast with another right-liberal, a podcast whose audience is largely right-liberal, etc. Now I could be wrong as to his motivation, maybe his approach to the question is academic rather than political, but given that I was on the money that the pundit was right-liberal this isn’t likely the case.
Why was that a relevant difference to Doordash?
Ah, the former is typically the cause of the latter. But, I’ll add, the conclusion that they would largely do nothing isn’t because they’re not worried about
‘civil war’, it’s because of their example during COVID.
Interesting. Thanks.
I’ve heard of the concept but had to research it:

New OT up.
Not so much nutter message boards, I was more relying on the “comprehensive study by domain experts at one of the world’s premier investment advisor firms“.
Lazards’ entire analysis is based on a single US nuclear generation project, the disastrous Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant:
Votgle 3 and 4 were ocean-going design and construction cockups that put Westinghouse into Chapter 11 protection. The costs to complete units 3 and 4 are now approaching US$40 billion for 2200MWe capacity – approaching twice the cost of the UAE Barakah project (mentioned above) for 5500MWe.
So, a single unrepresentative data – from the same scare school as ‘all nuclear power stations spew radiation like Chernobyl’.
Leaving that aside, the Lazard LCOE study treats renewables on the same basis as dispatchable nuclear, coal and gas. No battery backup needed, 25% to 30% average availability is lined up with 90%+.
Realising that that is obvious bullshit, Lazard also includes an estimate of the additional costs of providing ‘firming’ – a term that usually implies that renewables become dispatchable and directly comparable with coal, gas, nuclear etc. The study assumes gas backup for some Power Authorities – and heroic assumptions for clean green California:
Under these ‘firmed’ conditions, the unsubsidized LCOE of the ‘too cheap to meter’ utility scale PV is US$117/MWh to US$142/MWh – which seems to compare very favourably with naughty nuclear at around US$180/MWh.
Except, again, the storage costed into the LCOE is for 4 hours at 50% of whatever Solar capacity is assumed. So, the firming component of the LCOE is underdone by about 200% – and tough shit trying to charge your Tesla after about 8:30 at night.
It’s dishonest bullshit lapped up greedily by Solar Spruikers like Energy Sage – and repeated by our very own politicians and their winged monkeys.
And which duly makes its way into the lofty, official-sounding (but actually a product of Mycle Schneider, an anti-nuclear activist who has been adviser to Green members of the European Parliament on energy issues for more than twenty years.)The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2023:
Which is, of course, in itself, a true statement.
So, safe to say that domain experts at one of the world’s premier investment advisor firms have a significant commercial linkage to renewables.
