And here we go. Some here have predicted "Climate/Carbon points" and Food Rationing for some time now. Climate Change may be one excuse they try to use to cover up the growing supply chain, farming, and food availability issues. Note the words "experts" and "scientists" who are not identified-...
I put this in international because the story is based in the UK, but I saw it first in an American publication. However, I went to the original article and read it before posting - this is a food or health article, but, and I'm not herding cats, the software doesn't have options under...
While this is an unusually high settlement - it is to support and provide care for this child for the rest of her life, thankfully, her mind seems fine (which often isn't the case). But I'm posting this story because I remember there were suggestions the NHS in the United Kingdom could not be...
Just after I posted this in the European thread, saying I would wait to start a thread on the main things heated up even more. There is severe pressure on Liz Truss to step down as Prime Minister only six weeks after she was voted into the job by a small group of her party members (which is how...
I am starting this thread because in the last 24 hours, in fact mostly in the last about 7 or 8 hours, 36 of Boris Johnson's "government" (Parliament members holding offices) have resigned including his Chancelor. Just now, his NEW chancellor appointed YESTERDAY has also called for his...
So why not just have people eat foods with some vitamin D like Salmon, Tuna, Eggs, and Mushrooms? Not to mention 15 minutes in the sun when it is there, before putting on the sunscreen? Can you say GMO's via the back door? Science still really doesn't know what will happen 10 generations (years)...
I almost put this in the "Let Them Eat Bugs" thread, but that wasn't exactly what this article was saying -what it is doing is going for my "other" red flag that I've had for years, long before COVID or Ukraine and that is to "look for news outlets in the United Kingdom to either start getting...
I almost put this on my off and on again "Let Them Eat Bugs" thread but this is slightly different and another sign I've been looking for. I figured that the UK and even US governments would really be starting to panic and take food shortages seriously (as opposed to an opportunity) when the...
In case I go offline for a few hours or days, this Weather Bomb is supposed to hit Ireland and the UK in the early hours of this morning through Wednesday morning or so. We are in the "least affected" area (only yellow alert) but the weather service keeps calling more areas orange or red by the...
On top of predicted severe meat shortages, the UK is now undergoing a petrol (gasoline) crisis which is being blamed on the missing 100,000 truckers the UK no longer has. The business community begged the UK Government a few weeks ago to allow temporary work visas for the thousands of Eastern...

Note the bit towards the bottom about the clergy being married (including probably some monks) and that some of the female "saints" were probably their wives (though there were probably mixed monastic centers where married couples had children for "God," that is known to have been true of...
I decided to go with a new thread on this because this is a new and rather worrying change in the relationship between Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, The United Kingdom, and General and the EU.
It started with the vaccine crazy when the EU tried to revoke "article 16" that puts the...
Well, that certainly escalated quickly, and considering that the UK resisted the urge to do this even in the face of some food shortages in Northern Ireland (it is calling a temporary suspension of the "All Island Customs Agreement" that allows a free-flow of goods and people between the...

In many places a 3.3 Earthquake would barely be noticed but quakes are rare in the UK and this one actually did rattle buildings and have people thinking there had been a nearby explosion.

The UK is also getting this storm, both of our Islands (especially the UK Mainland) have been hit with severe flooding and Thunderstorms (including rare tornados) in the last couple of weeks but this looks like it could be worse, especially here in Ireland. This is supposed to move in tonight...
The UK officially (and wisely I think) still uses rescue cats (usually from Battersea Cat and Dog Rescue) to patrol and help control pests in a number of their historic buildings. Palmerston's attention to his job and his mutual hatred of Larry the Number 10 cat has been followed for several...
This is the kind of idiocy that still exists in some professional work-places that has let to the over-the-top PC reactions and demands that are starting to polarize society. It is totally appropriate for a professional office (finance especially) to remind employees to dress in a professional...
I have been saying for years now that the government can "raise" the age of retirement all they like and scary articles suggest that people will just have to work until the "die," but the human body just doesn't always work that way. While most people can probably still keep working doing...
This is unusual in the rural English countryside and the number of cows and calves, as well as the probable use of a livestock mover, suggests major gang or a rather larger operator involved in the thefts of the animals. Note the cops say there has been a growing number of sheep and cattle...

In the UK there is a long tradition of "working cats" who actually do help keep down vermin in post offices, pubs, bookshops, and even the Prime Minister's official residence, so BoJo is going to find he isn't the only Alpha Male living in Downing Street, Larry regularly beats up the working cat...
