Even worse here in Clown State Scotland where a student sandpit talking shop with the power to smother real economic activity and promote a public sector led police state has destroyed real industry even more. The SNP, a clique of globalist order -following halfwits, who dupe many Scottish people by dangling the independence lure, have destroyed both the real energy sector and the actual economy. Fortunately for them they can blame it on Westminster because it has reserved some critical powers. Had these reserved powers been available the SNP and their erstwhile allies the batshit Greens, our economy would have been even more tanked. They had the gall to gripe about the closure of our only refinery at Grangemouth , while standing by the policy to cap North Sea oil exploration. The council in Glasgow declared the place a “City of Sanctuary”, and made itself liable to house every channel hopping semi literate immigrant man. They now roam the streets drug addled with a ten yard stare sometimes sexually abusing and harassing women. Those of us working pay even higher taxes than our neighbours in England to keep this shit show going. I work in a lefty policy environment where even the terminally altruistic midwits are noticing. The Be-Kind brigade and bought media tell us to stop noticing but people are. Our country which was the cradle of enlightenment economics and politics is being told to ditch reason and rationality for an insane chaos. It won’t end well. Things are well set here for Civil War being whipped up by failed Mamdami mirroring Muppett Humza Useless, who was our first minister and us not re-inventing himself as a champion of Islam and idleness,
The “leaders” of this government are suffering mass formation psychosis (they are brainwashed). Fear of climate catastrophism overwhelms their higher cognitive abilities. They are functioning under control of the amygdala.
Small point: Le Pen isn't currently under house arrest. It was part of the sentence she received, but it doesn't come into force until all the appeals are exhausted (although the ban on running for office has taken effect immediately).
What are the odds she makes the right decision to save the heavy industry in Britain? Probably close to zero. The only way change is going to happen is if the climate zombies get thrown out of any position of responsibility. That may happen when no one can afford electricity in Britain and/or the power is out during the night when the sun does not shine. More morons, such as waste.
you have leaders, managers, bureaucrats, and place holders. Leaders lead managers might, bureaucrats can't won't or don't, and place holders are just that (clueless). If you have a want or need or desire to be liked or loved you are not a leader and never will be and never should be. Leaders need to consciously competent not unconsciously competent, nor consciously incompetent, or unconsciously incompetent. When you are a leader compromise is not in your lexicon, why? because compromise has no calculus. What most forget is that you lead people and manage boxes. When there is a lack of true leadership over time which is what is going on in the UK at present is the end result. Compromise becomes the order of the day with the end goal of mediocrity being the unspoken driver of decisions. I had a T shirt made for a high school cross country and track teams that typifies the issue. It has a face of a Greek God who I named Saint Mediocritis - - - who I refer to as the patron saint of the willfully average. On the back of the shirt are many different sayings but the one I like best is a big and bold X-bar-sub m. As a leader you focus on the countries boundaries which contain the primary things to focus on which are safety quality productivity cost control and people development as the cornerstone of the countries infrastructure. From the infrastructure you then promote cohesion or at least don't interfere with it meaning the melding of the "tribes" and this melding is initially based on the infrastructure and then on the language and then on the personal interactions. From this comes culture which when established loops back to optimize the infrastructure so as to optimize the cohesion so as to optimize the culture (this wheel is always turning if done correctly). the biggest trap that folks fall into is trying to be all things to all people and you end up with being nothing to everyone. what managers and bureaucrats cannot stand is a tribe that self-ejects due to the infrastructure, cohesion, and culture. time for my AM coffee
Radical uncertainty is not acknowledged by climate experts and decision makers.
Radical uncertainty refers to situations where the future is fundamentally unpredictable, and the range of possible outcomes cannot be fully described or quantified using probability distributions.
This form of uncertainty is not merely a lack of information but a deeper epistemic limitation: the determinants of future events are insufficiently understood to assign probabilities, making forecasting unreliable. As a result, decision-making under radical uncertainty cannot rely on models that assume perfect information or probabilistic certainty.
Kay and King argue that decision-makers must rely on narrative reasoning, abductive inference, and collective judgment to make sense of complex, ambiguous situations. The central question becomes "What is going on here?" rather than attempting to calculate optimal outcomes based on flawed models.
The biblical tale of the Tower of Babel is more useful for decision making than models.
It’s really not the politicians, it’s the voters who elect them. As we approachthe midterms in the US which could easily seem to move
Kamala or Newsome into the center, we really need to ask ourselves how our generations left this legacy. Our performance raising our children was historically impactful. How did we go so wrong?
The COMMOMWEALTH, ended many years past the same as Rome, fell. However, many of the control-hungry left believe that robbing Peter to pay Paul, will ALWAYS work in the long run as long as they can control the media and buy the elections with "HAND-OUTS". The British Empire, has been on a Banana Peel, for a very long time, Magie, offered a brief pause and a bit of return to common sense but that ended and HER PARTY could not help but become more left. Now everyone can view the unwise policies unfold.
I hope the next leader is "thick as mince" David Lammy! As the PM, even the BBC would have to worry. A repeat of the 1970's seems inevitable. IMF bailouts, power cuts, refuge worker strikes with rat infested bin bags, already happening in Muslim controlled Birmingham, may make way for another Thatcher? Fingers crossed, Go Lammy :)
Vibrant comments section today 🤣

I couldn’t like this piece fast enough, the alternative being too unpleasant.

The UK is an island drowning in the North Sea. Miliband is not a life preserver, he’s a giant ⚓️ chained to the Paris Agreement.
Great post, Doom. “Liked” w/o need of threat to be sent to COP30. In fact, send me a ticket I’ll depart tonight.

Ed Miliband is what Nassim Taleb describes such people as "Intellectual Yet Idiot".
