#G0469* - IS THE MEDIA THAT GULLIBLE - HERE'S A CHALLENGE!

#G0468* - IS THE MEDIA THAT GULLIBLE - HERE'S A CHALLENGE!

Hi,

Now here's the pitch - I believe that The Main Stream Media are being both lazy and dishonest they are merely publishing the handout propaganda from an utterly corrupt regime where no one including the British Government and military and those of the Americans have the vagues bloody clue what they are doing or why.

They have utterly failed to work out who the enemy are and having made childish and ill informed conclusions have done almost every single thing wrong (Sounds a bit like the utter incompetence displayed by the police in Stokes Croft Bristol where they have incited and then failed miserably to control the resultant riots - where the crowd they have angered have even turned up in fancy dress to show how stupid the over kitted badly led Police are).

Now here is my challenge to the main stream Meeeja:

Silently gather 500 journalists of all ages and with the briefest of whispered instructions to them lower each of them out of the window to re-enter the floor below where they must in near darkness walk along a 1,000 foot wiggly line stooped all the way to their favourite pub next door.

Do all this in near silence without leaving any litter signs of passing, disturbance in the office next door to The Editor's Office in the certain knowledge that if ANYONE lets on to ANY secretary in the building that there is a mass walk out they will be rewarded with $1/2Million and that at any moment A unit of the half trained half baked Metropolitan armed police murder squad under some Politically Correct clown like Cressida Dick may open fire on you and kill 96 of you before realising this isn't Hillsborough Stadium (That was 22 years ago and still The Police haven't invented a satisfactory excuse!).

Do you believe this escape was either remotely possible in accordance with the drivel you all published like nodding donkeys?

Or more probably is it a totally fabricated story?

1,000 feet of tunnel - removal of around 1,000 tons of rubble - a need for cable and light fittings for well over 100 light bulbs to provide the slightest glimmer every 10 feet! - removal of 3/4 of a ton of spoil every day for 5 months - NO LEAKS of info.

Now DO YOU believe that the Afghan rebels could have done this with no faction squabbling betrayal or interferrence of one mad mullah or another - The Pashtunn Taliban are reknowned for being a diserate rabble that acts in VERY loosely controlled family groups.

DO YOU believe the journalists are deliberately telling lies - as with The Police in Stokes Croft or are they just stupid like the Police in Stokes Croft?
Clearly trained to believe the general public they are paid to serve are their enemy these over kitted, violent, unshaven, beligerent chavs are unfit for purpose and the fast track, incompetent, Common Purpose youngsters leading the police as superintendants and politically correct Chief Constables are so unfit for purpose and out of touch that they are a disgrace to what was ONCE in The Distant Past a Proud Uniform and ethos of service!

ex-UKIP Whistle Blower exposes EU HYPOCRACY

Energy saving bulbs 'release cancer causing chemicals', say scientists

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 2:07 PM on 20th April 2011

New fears: Cancer causing chemicals are released by energy-saving bulbs when they are switched on, scientists said
New fears: Cancer causing chemicals are released by energy-saving bulbs when they are switched on, scientists said
Energy saving bulbs emit cancer causing chemicals it was claimed last night as new fears were raised about their safety.
Scientists said they should not be left on for long periods of time or placed close to a person's head because they release poisonous materials.
The EU has unveiled plans to phase out 'normal' incandescent bulbs by the end of next year as they try to cut carbon emissions.
They should not be used by adults to read or kept near a child's head all night, the experts said.
While it is already known that harmful amounts of Mercury are released if one of the new 'green' bulbs is broken, the latest research shows other carcinogenic chemicals are emitted when they are switched on.
The German research shows that the chemicals are released as a form of steam.
The harmful substances include phenol - a poison injected by the Nazis to kill thousands of concentration camp victims during World War II - and the human toxins naphthalene and styrene.
Tests showed that the materials used to make the lamps are probably responsible for their potentially harmful side effects.
Andreas Kirchner, from the Federation of German Engineers, said: 'Electrical smog develops around these lamps.  I therefore use them only very economically.  They should not be used in unventilated areas and definitely not in the proximity of the head.'
 
'They should not be used in unventilated areas and definitely not in the proximity of the head.'
The report on German television forced the country’s environmental protection agency to issue a warning against 'public hysteria.'
The Department for the Environment has insisted that the bulbs are safe.
Dr Michelle Bloor, lecturer in Environmental Science at Portsmouth University, told the Daily Express: 'Further independent studies would need to be undertaken to back up the presented German research.'

#G0427* - CO2 & CARBON TAX SCAM _ HAS ICELAND PAID YET?

#G0427*  - CO2 & CARBON TAX SCAM _ HAS ICELAND PAID YET?

  

Okay, here's the  bombshell.  The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its  first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED  EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to  control CO2 emissions on our planet – all of  you.
Of course you know  about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress  – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires  to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans,  and all animal life.
I know, it's very  disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission  savings you have accomplished while suffering the  inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying  fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your  kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all  of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of  toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir,  selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of  abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle,  replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00 light  bulbs...well, all of those things you have done have all gone  down the tubes in just four days.
The volcanic ash  emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes -  FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased  every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast,  carbon.  And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the  planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY  DAY.
I don't really want to  rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when  the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it  spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the  entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on  earth.  Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one  year – think about it.
Of course I shouldn't  spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the  effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized  800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep  happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to  affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a  silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the  matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and  Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce  carbon in our world for the next two to three years.  And  it happens every year.
Just remember that your  government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you  on the basis of the bogus “human-caused” climate change  scenario.
Hey, isn’t it  interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming” any more,  but just “Climate Change” - you know why?  It’s because  the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and  these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants  down.
And just keep in mind  that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that  whopping new tax – imposed on you, that will achieve  absolutely nothing except make you poorer.  It won’t stop  any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for  sure.
But hey, relax, give  the world a hug and have a nice day!
PS: I wonder if Iceland  is buying carbon offsets?
By the way, we must not forget the Cows, burping methane every few minutes either, we sure carn't shoot them all can we.

#353* - Are Banned Light Bulbs Better for Your Health Than Low-Energy Alternatives?

#353* - Are Banned Light Bulbs Better for Your Health Than Low-Energy Alternatives?

Are Banned Light Bulbs Better for Your Health Than Low-Energy Alternatives?


Ever since the 1st September 2009 and until the 1st September 2016, the first day of September means the end of yet another type of old fashioned light bulb.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 30, 2010 – Ever since the the first day of September means the end of yet another type of old fashioned light bulb. The list of banned bulbs grows each year: first it was incandescent bulbs of 100W or over, this year it was incandescent bulbs of 75W or over, remaining incandescent bulbs will be banned by 2010 with C-class retro fit halogen lamps following in 2016. This has caused controversy, with some people claiming that the low-energy bulbs can damage our health. Ryness (http://www.ryness.co.uk/) looks at whether banned light bulbs are better for your health than low-energy alternatives.


The EU directive on banned lightbulbs has been controversial for a number of reasons. First, because many people dislike the cost and quality of the low-energy replacement bulbs and second because there are claims that they can harm our health. Campaigners claim they are damaging at best (causing migraines and skin rashes) and could even be dangerous, bringing on epileptic fits (in sufferers of epilepsy) and aggravating conditions such as lupus and autism. It is claimed that the health of at least 3 million people in the UK could be affected in an adverse way when forced to use only these energy efficient type of light bulbs.


Chief Executive of The Skin Care Campaign Andrew Langford, speaking to the Daily Express, said “There are massive health implications, and not just for people with skin conditions. The bulbs can also affect those with no pre-existing health problems. Its mainly down to the intensity of the UV light which is vastly more intense than traditional light bulbs. The effects range from a bit of soreness, right through to burns.” He added: “They’ve simply not been properly checked out for health and safety - and the little research there is, is linked to the light bulb industry.”


The plus side of these bulbs of course, is the minimised environmental impact: it is thought that phasing out 100 watt lightbulbs could slash carbon emissions by around five million tonnes a year. The quality of the bulbs is continually improving and while the initial purchase cost of these bulbs is higher than for traditional bulbs, they last for so much longer that they end up saving money in comparison. Furthermore, although the potential health hazards of using the new bulbs could well cause concern, a spokesperson at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has publicly stated that all energy efficient bulbs are essentially safe, although “We’re aware of some anecdotal evidence the use of these bulbs could have adverse effects on some people’s health and are working with the lighting industry and the Department of Health to resolve these issues.”


Ryness Lighting and Electrical is committed to customer service which is why it carries one of the widest ranges of low-energy lightbulbs available anywhere in the UK, while also providing customers with the banned lightbulbs while stock lasts. Find out more at http://www.ryness.co.uk/.

#G188* - Postulating The Outcome IF Lisbon Is Enacted

#G188* - Postulating The Outcome IF Lisbon Is Enacted
Hi,

Up until now since its inception as a series of White Papers issued by The british Government as a solution to the restructuring of a largely broken CONTINENTAL Europe:

EUropean Union Co-Operation Vol I (I have papers #4 of 16-Apr-48 onwards for 1948 & 1949)

&

EUropean Union Council of EUrope Vol I (I have papers #7 of 05-May-49 onwards for 1949)

OR

EUropaische WirtschaftGemenschaft by Reichs Minster Walter Funk published Berlin 1942 which I have (My English Translation is available on the internet CLICK HERE

The EU experiment has grown insidiously in a regular series of 'salami slices' as the barbed wire circle of stars has ratchetted ever tighter around the neck of freedom first of the Nation State and increasingly of the peoples in thes vassal regions.

Until about 15 years ago this ratchet effect was similar to the frog analogy:
You put a frog into a pan of cold water and it will swim around merrily and as long as you raise the temperature slowly and steadily you can raise the temprature to boiling point and the frog will merely die and be cooked, without realising as its blood temperature rises with its surrounds being a reptile.
If you put a frog in a pan of warm water it will immediately make an effort to get out.

The incremental ratchetting of the EU has left most people, like the frog, blissfully unaware of just how far they are being taken over.

The enactment of the Lisbon Constitutional Treaty for the first time moves the EU into a politically controlling 'In Your Face' position.

Whilst the EU was all but invisible with the occasional error such as metrication, 40ton axle loadings, EU arrest warrant to name a few the peeople unfortunate enough to be in its thrall fell into three groups:

01./ EU devotees known as EUroPhiles - who were rabidly in favour and were being bribed ever more to act as its salesmen - MEPs for example who undertake on appointment to represent The EU's best interests NOT their electorate or Country/Region.

02./ The lobotomised masses with their footie, racing, soap opera, beer, sex and comfort bought with a false salary per output and unsustainable borrowing - this constitutes the huge mass who are indifferent to politics, beyond moaning and who barely noted whether they were dancing to the tune of the Tally man, the bank, the bills, the Mrs., need, comfort or Government - whoever that may be!

03./ The EUroRealists a small but growing body of informed active and patriotic opponents of the experiment - all too well aware of the freedoms being lost and the ratchet effect as the EU took ever more incremental control as they watched the authority of their particular Oireachtas, Westminster, Bundestag wither and their political elite succumb to the cebtralised bribe structure.

Lisbon will, if enacted increasingly stir up the huge body of peoples in group 02. increasingly the details of the hoops they have to jump through will inevitably politicise them - the inevitability of rising food prices and falling incomes, rising joblessness and the inevitable rise in crime and heavy handed policing.

This will move a huge tranch of the 02. intellectually & politically EUthenased masses across a widening EUroSceptic bridge and as they learn more will become fully fledged EUroRealists.

To counter this the 01. EUroPhiles will seek to enlarge the bribe zone by mopping up a burgeoning middle class unemployable zone by ever greater QUANGOcracy of NGOs and the promotion of the new State Religion of guilt of an almost Catholic proportion at Anthropogenic Global Warming & Climate Change increasingly becoming barking mad in their desparation to hang onto their place at the trough!

By this process and minded that the entire world lives on a margin of 5% in terms of food production The EU is confronted with the incompetence and profligacy of its CAP, catastrophic missmanagement of The CFP and as output falls whereby for the first time in modern history the whole of Europe is a nett food importer but with a falling export and profit bases as it shrinks its own market by over management and erradication of natural competition.

The reality of global cooling which has been proven to pertain over the last 9 years and a period of climatic change, most probably caused by plate techtonic shift, could well wipe out that 5% margin in a single year - there will be those old enough to remember the appauling and savage famine that stalked the central planes of EUrope immediately after the last major EUropean war in the winter of 1945/6.

A famine that was so deep that without American aid the death toll could have reached 50% - a period when a small bar of chocolate would be shared out by a Mother and would buy the sacrifice of sex with any of her children.

Famine is only an intervention store away and the intervention stores in EUrope have been dropping in content year on year since the Millenium.

Had the winter of 1946/7 come one year earlier the death toll would have made the Stalingrad Seige seem like a picnic.

I do not believe that The EU is an experiment worth risking - particularly in a period funded on credit and dwindling monetary faith as America's Dollar teeters on the brink having lost 14% of its value in a matter of weeks without sign of recover let alone cause to create it!

Lisbon moves The Politically controlling aspect of The EU experiment high profile and it can no longer be pretended that anyone but the central EU governs any of the vassal states. The EU has moved into YOUR sitting room with Lisbon - your now defunkt National Government can no longer decide on what light bulbs you buy!

The full weight of the 120,000 rules and regulations now fall on YOUR back to bear.

How long before even the yes voters are scuttling in anonimity across that EUroSceptic bridge to EUroRealism.

IF Lisbon is enforced will that be the EU's Death Knell?

#G177* - DEFRA's DIZZYING ABUSE

#G177* - DEFRA's DIZZYING ABUSE

It would be funny if it wasn't true!

EU Idiocy & Jobsworths interfere in everything because they have no real job to do - They know better than most just what a failure The EU project is but they are so highly bribed they stay silent.

If you have your snout burried in the troughs of The Gravy Train and you are bought and paid for -

The house rules are -
'OMERTA'


Hi,

Clearly with his usual alacrity Christopher Booker hits the button with The EU's crass interferrence and its multi numbered diktats all drawn up by the over arching and ever burgeoning bureacracy of the central soviet of the supra national EU - with neither visible sense nor visible democracy!

There is one fact, not so much a detail, rather more of an elephant in the room which Christopher overlooks or more likely was denied the space, by The Sunday Telegraph, to address.

It is dealt with in one of my blogs on this site to which there are links after Christophers article below and that is the fact that it seems as if The British Government is failing to be honest to us their employers - their masters in the central bureaucracy in The EU which now not only does our MPs' job but surplants and has far greater authority in Britain than Westminster!

Britain has for many many years run domestic power on single phase 220 > 240 volt, yet they have agreed to obey their masters and supply 210 > 230 volt and now ALL available light bulbs are designed on the EU idiocy of one size fits all and the EU bulbs are supplied (including the mercury versions) to function on the lower voltage and the 140 volt surge gives EU standardised bulbs a very short life.

In passing Christopher seems not to have been given the space to explain that the new CFLs (a picture of some of its components is below) require MERCURY!

The tiny weenie British barometer business has been destroyed by the EU for its miniscule usage of safe (non vapourised Mercury). I understand that relative to the few 100lbs. used for barometers Osram & Mazda I understand will be using around 4 ton of mercury and rising, whilst to supply The EU China will use upto 40 tons of Mercury a year.

How ecologically sound did the Eu say these CFL bulbs were? I leave it to Christopher to keep us all informed!







DEFRA lacks power to ban our bulbs
How are shops supposed to decide whether a customer intends a 100W bulb for use in a 'household', wonders Christopher Booker.

Light fantastic: the CFL type of bulb can't be used in UK fittings
Photo: Getty

The continuing drama over the EU's drive to force us all to use only so-called "low energy" light bulbs, rather than the incandescent bulbs that many of us prefer, has brought to light a truly surreal legislative blunder. Last week, it was reported that, as from next Tuesday, the public will be expected to report to trading standards officers anyone guilty of selling "illegal' incandescent bulbs. I thought I would check with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether such an absurd thing could be true.

No, I was told, it will still be legal to sell existing stocks of 100 watt or frosted bulbs, but it will be a criminal offence to import them from outside the EU. When I asked the legal basis for this, I was directed to various laws, starting with the EU's 2005 Eco-Design of Energy-Using Products directive. When I asked how this had been put into British law, I was directed to a regulation of 2007 which turned out to concern the "eco-design" of fridges and boilers but said nothing about imported light bulbs.


I was also, however, pointed to a European Commission regulation (244/2009) of March this year, regarding "eco-design requirements for non-directional household lamps". Wading through a lot of bureaucratic gobbledegook about "non-directional" bulbs used for lighting domestic rooms ("a non-directional lamp", it helpfully explains, "is a lamp which is not directional"), at last I found the explanation for what Defra thinks it is up to – and its extraordinary blunder came to light.

This curious story goes back to the day in March 2007 when the EU's leaders, including Tony Blair, gathered in Brussels to approve a package of proposals designed to stop global warming. It was soon clear they hadn't the slightest idea how all their quixotic dreams could be put into effect, because these raised all sorts of practical problems which were left to hapless officials to resolve.

On the proposal to ban incandescent bulbs, for instance, it emerged that many light fittings could not take "low energy" compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). A report for Defra the previous year had found that this applied to more than half the fittings in UK homes. So the officials were left to work out how the ban on what were now dubbed "old-fashioned" bulbs could somehow be phased in over several years in a way that was both legal and workable in practice.

Initially they leant on Europe's own manufacturers to stop making incandescent bulbs "voluntarily", but this did not get around the problem of imported bulbs, for instance from China. So their solution, enshrined in regulation 244/2009, was that it should gradually be made illegal between now and 2016 for "non-directional" incandescent bulbs to be "placed on the market", because they do not comply with the EU's new "eco-design" standards. This is the regulation on which Defra bases its claim that, from Tuesday, it will be illegal to import 100 watt or frosted bulbs for sale, with all other "non-directional" incandescent bulbs due to follow between now and 2016.

But herein lies Defra's amazing error. The legislation it depends on to make this claim, regulation 244/2009, refers quite specifically to "household lamps". So the EU has not made it illegal to "place on the market" bulbs which are not intended for household use. Defra thus has no power to ban the import or sale of incandescent bulbs for use in shops, offices, factories, outhouses or anywhere which isn't a "household". And how are shops to decide, when asked for such bulbs, where a customer wishes to use them?

In other words, not for the first time, in its desire to bend over backwards to meet the wishes of the EU, our Government has made a total Horlicks of trying to understand the laws it is so eager to comply with.

Why should I be surprised that a Government spokesman fails to realise the change in CFL bulbs have changed little and still have some 50 parts dependent on the failure rate of the very worst part and intollerant of fluctuation in power supply. May I remind the Government spokesman that these bulbs are manufactured for the 220>230 volt power supply of the EU which gives them a notably greater failure rate on 220>240 supply in Britain!

#G173* - & GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT BUT THE EU ....

#G173* - & GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT BUT THE EU ....


Hi,

further to my posting at CLICK HERE & regardless of the fact that the ghastly Kinnocks were not in fact elected they did both get themselves onto the Gravy Train in the EU and buried their snouts deep in the troughs in total disregard for the best interests of the peoples of Britain who they so ingloriously betrayed.

& on the First Day God may well have said 'let there be light' but it looks as if after a mere century of rational effective electric lighting the EU in its crass determination to control all that is idiotic and more besides have decided they will destroy both our lighting, our low price bulbs and our health in one 'swell floop' by forcing us against all rational sense to use the inefficient and toxic CFL bulbs.

It would seem from The Telegraph today that not content with interfering they intend to recruit an army of Jobs Worths and sordid snoops to join the rest of their army of parasites in QUANGOs and Councils who so readily obfuscate what must be some 6,000,000 unemployed.

See at the end of the Telegraph article why stock piling is not a viable option!


Public told to snoop on light bulb law breakers

The public have been asked to 'snoop' on shopkeepers who continue to sell traditional light bulbs banned by Europe.

From September 1, it will be illegal to import conventional pearl or frosted bulbs of any shape or wattage. Traditional incandescent bulbs of 100 watts will also be banned under European law aimed at reducing energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions.

They will be replaced by energy saving lights, which usually use flourescent tubes, but it is thought some consumers will still prefer their 'traditional' bulbs, particularly for reading lamps.

There is evidence of people hoarding the old fashioned bulbs around Europe and enforcement agencies are ready to crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who continue to import the "illegal bulbs" from factories in China.

In Britain, trading standards officers will be carrying out inspections and are asking members of the public to report any shop continuing to stock the illegal bulbs.

Any individual found importing the bulbs into the EU will face a £5,000 fine and it could be an unlimited amount for big companies.

The Department for the Environment insisted it was necessary to use the law to ensure people buy energy efficient bulbs that will save them around £37 per annum on energy bills and save the UK one million tonnes of carbon every year.

But opposition politicians said people remain concerned about the health effects and quality of light of energy saving bulbs and should not be made to snoop on each other.

Although most large retailers in the UK began to phase out 100W bulbs at the beginning of this year, independent retailers continue to sell the traditional models.

A Defra spokesman said: ''The public could tip off trading standards if they know someone to be illegally importing 100W or frosted light bulbs, just as they would if they found dangerous toys or appliances.

"Trading Standards could then follow the normal procedure to test the bulbs, find proof of date of purchase and could then challenge the importer through the courts. The enforcement of this new legislation is important to maintain fairness to honest retailers and importers and to protect consumers."

Nick Herbert, the Tory environment spokesman, said it was a waste of taxpayers' money.

"People will be incandescent about such a waste of public money. At a time of economic gloom this proposal will create more heat than light."

Sales of incandescent light bulbs have risen by 34 per cent year-on-year in Germany in the first six months of 2009, consumer research group GfK found

Syed Kamall, a Tory MEP, said he continues to receive letters and emails from people who want to stick with incandescent light bulbs.

He said the Government should be meeting the concerns of those who do not like the bulbs rather than punishing people who continue to use them.

"It is a completely over the top reaction. The problem is not people stocking up or importing incandescent light bulbs, the issue is that there continue to be concerns about the health effects of energy saving light bulbs," he said.

Nigel Farrage, the leader of UKIP, said the public should not be encouraged to snoop.

"Under this Government we begin to resemble East Germany in the 1980s where we snoop and report on local businesses," he said. "No doubt the next move will be to snoop on your parents if they continue to use old fashioned light bulbs."

The low energy lights use a fifth of the energy of incandescent lights, cost around £3 each but should last around seven years.

SNOOPING:

As I am sure you are aware 'snooping' was the concept widely used by The Gestapo where it was required that good party members provided written 'Denouncements', whether true or false The Gestapo would then have an excuse to act against those whose property they wanted or who stood between them and their evil aspirations and many aqn innocent individual was sent for 'retraining' via a programme of 'Arbeit Macht Frei' to Bergen Belsen, Ravensbruk, Treblinca or Auschwitz!

In the USSR an arm of the KGB used officially employed watchers for the state, most of whom would otherwise have been unemployed so obliged with information, often false, to ensure they too were not sent for retraining at the Gullags.

In East Germany the snoopers of the STASI were legion and many young women were actively recruited by such as Marcus Wolfe to move into other countries and allign themselves with minor politicians and if possible marry them - long term deep cover agents.

All so very like the way the EU is becoming!!

STOCK PILING:

Although one sees much wittering on Forums of the ill informed - stock piling is not really a viable option either for businesses or the public.

Although Edison filament light bulbs have been known to last for almost 100 years the bulbs available in Britain will have a very short life expectancy if used in Britain - just as the CFL bulbs will not fulfil their potential! The bulb failure rate is because the bulbs now on supply in Britain be they Edison filament bulbs or CFLs are produced to a standard to suit continental Europe where circuitry runs at 210>230 volt.

Britain in the idiotic EU belief that one size fits all has made an issue of compliance - however if you meter the supply in your home you will find the supply, despite claims to the contrary by the suppliers, runs at 220>240 volt. It is NOT the amount of power that blows the bulbs but surges - thus if a bulb is turned on on a dimmer and incrementally raised it should theoretically last indeffinitly sadly however if the bulb is manufactured to run at 210>230 volt no amount of care will help it survive surges to 240 volt.

All so very EU and so typically dishonest!

It is claimed a Million Tons of CO2 will be saved - so what? There is absolutely no clear scientific evidence that a rise in CO2 is in any way harmful and there is clear and irrefutable evidence that CO2 rises upto 800 years AFTER periods of global warming and none that it has any causal effect!

Perhaps it is time that the public started snooping on the false science and considered howmuch grant money could be saved by not funding the projects of those who lie to us!

Ten days left to buy traditional lightbulbs: EU ban means only low-energy ones will be on sale

By David Derbyshire
23rd August 2009

Banned: Pearl, incandescent lightbulbs are being cleared from shelves in a bid to slash energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions


Traditional lightbulbs will disappear from our shops in just ten days.


All conventional pearl, incandescent lightbulbs are being banned by the European Union to slash energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions.

The move covers every type of frosted traditional bulb, from the 60 watt pearl bulbs used in table lamps to more specialised opaque 25 and 40 watt bulbs shaped like golf balls and candles.
Clear and frosted 100 watt lightbulbs will also not be on sale from September 1.

The measure, introduced with little fanfare, aims to force consumers to fit energy-saving lights.
The Department for Environment said a typical home will save at least £37 a year on electricity bills by fitting low-energy fluorescent and halogen bulbs.

Ministers said the move will also slash national carbon emissions by five million tons a year.
But independent retailers and critics believe the change has been rushed and badly advertised. They also claim that many of the low-energy alternatives are ugly, expensive and produce unpleasant light.

In January, leading retailers announced a voluntary ban on the sale of 100 watt lightbulbs, triggering stockpiling and panic buying. However, independent stories have continued selling them.

Elsewhere, Germans, Austrians and Hungarians are hoarding the energy-hungry bulbs. Sales of incandescent light bulbs have risen by 34 per cent year-on-year in Germany in the first six months of 2009, German consumer research group GfK found.

'Ugly': Many critics believe low-energy bulbs are expensive and produce an unpleasant light

Under the European Directive, manufacturers in Europe will not be able to sell the banned bulbs to retailers. It will also be illegal to import energy-guzzling bulbs from outside the EU.

Independent retailer James Shortridge, owner of the Ryness chain, said customers were stockpiling frosted lightbulbs and 100 watt bulbs to beat the ban. He said: 'If you are sensitive to light, you will notice the difference.

'People aren't aware that the 100 watt and 60 watt pearl bulbs are going - it's a huge change.'
After the ban, householders will have to buy one of two low-energy alternatives. The most economical to run are CFLs - compact fluorescent lights. They cost around £3 each, use a fifth of the energy of a conventional incandescent bulb and can fit every type of socket.

Dimmable CFLs that work in dimmer switches are available, but cost more than £15 each. In theory, they should last six or seven years.

Critics said the light of many CFLs is inferior, some describing them as sickly, harsh or green. They can also take a minute to reach full brightness.

Manufacturers have also created low-energy halogen bulbs which look like traditional bulbs.
These work with dimmer switches, have a warmer light but save just 30 per cent of energy. These are not available as frosted bulbs and last only a couple of years.

Traditional bulbs are being phased out gradually to allow manufactures to adapt. Europe plans to phase out 60 watt clear lights from September 2011.

A Government spokesman said: 'There are many myths around low-energy bulbs. People don't always realise they have improved beyond recognition.'

Hi,

You you have noticed that shortly the common or garden, safe, simple to make light bulb, which has served us well for around a century, is to become ILLEGAL in the centralised, corrupt, fascist, EU supra national control freak state of the EU.

Risibly you will note:
A Government spokesman said: 'There are many myths around low-energy bulbs. People don't always realise they have improved beyond recognition.'

Just how stupid are these Government spokesmen? However on the day it has been shown that the Government spokesmen have failed to 'spoke' on the £35Billion overspend of The Ministry of Defeat and its average failure of many years to deliver on time.

Why should I be surprised that a Government spokesman fails to realise the change in CFL bulbs have changed little and still have some 50 parts dependent on the failure rate of the very worst part and intollerant of fluctuation in power supply. May I remind the Government spokesman that these bulbs are manufactured for the 220>230 volt power supply of the EU which gives them a notably greater failure rate on 220>240 supply in Britain!

NO ONE has yet announced an honest plausible benefit in any shape manner or form for this obscene interference in our lives except that our self styled political elite do NOT represent us and act JUST BECAUSE they can.

Self aggrandised jerks protecting their incomes and grants as they consume the liberties of the people screeching like the witches, soothsayers and sangomas of old that anyone telling the truth that Anthropomorphic Global Warming and man made climate change are not just unsound science but a pack of politically driven lies is branded by the corrupt parasites as lies!

They have absolutely no factual argument to back their scaremongering and the armies of independent scientists and climatologists they can not buy with tax payers money through grants and salaries is growing daily.

There is absolutely no doubt that The Edison light bulb is not only cheaper but gives better light and is infinitely less dangerous than the idiotic CFL things that are shipped around the world at huge cost for no gain!

#G146* - WIND FARMS! - A PRODUCT OF POLITICAL IDIOCY!!

#G146* - WIND FARMS! - A PRODUCT OF POLITICAL IDIOCY!!

Wind farms will be a monument to an age when our leaders collectively went off their heads

Last updated at 7:54 AM on 15th July 2009

Let us be clear: Britain is facing an unprecedented crisis. Before long, we will lose 40 per cent of our generating capacity.

And unless we come up quickly with an alternative, the lights WILL go out. Not before time, the Confederation of British Industry yesterday waded in, warning the Government it must abandon its crazy fixation with wind turbines as a way of plugging this forthcoming shortfall and instead urgently focus on far more efficient ways to meet the threat of a permanent, nationwide black-out.

There are a few contenders for the title of the maddest thing that has happened in our lifetime.


Controversial: A wind farm near Rye, East Sussex


But a front-runner must be the way in which politicians of all parties have been seduced by the La-La Land promises of the wind power lobby.

If you still haven't made your mind up about wind power, just consider some of the inescapable facts - facts which the Government and the wind industry do their best to hide from us all.

So far we have spent billions of pounds on building just over 2,000 wind turbines - and yet they contribute barely one per cent of all the electricity that we need.

The combined output of all those 2,000 turbines put together, averaging 700 megawatts, is less than that of a single, medium-sized conventional power station.

What's more, far from being 'free', this pitiful dribble of electricity is twice as expensive as the power we get from the nuclear, gas or coal-fired power stations which currently supply well over 90 per cent of our needs - and we all pay the difference, without knowing it, through our electricity bills.

But despite its best efforts to conceal the fact that wind turbines expensively and unreliably generate only a derisory amount of electricity, the Government keeps on telling us of its megalomaniac plans to build thousands more of them - at a cost of up to £100billion.

The prime reason for this is that we are legally obliged by the European Union to generate 32 per cent of our electricity from 'renewable' sources by 2020.

Ed Miliband: Set restrictions on coal-fired power stations
And with just 11 years to go until that deadline, we hope to meet the target by building highly-subsidised wind turbines.

But this is a farce. In fact, as the Government is privately well aware, there is not the faintest hope that we can do anything of the kind - even if we wanted to.

Gordon Brown talks airily of building 4,000 offshore turbines by our target date - plus another 3,000 onshore. But this would mean sticking two of these 2,000-ton monsters, each the height of Blackpool Tower, into the seabed every day for the next 11 years.

Nowhere in the world has it proved possible to install more than one of them a week. The infrastructure simply isn't there to build more than a fraction of that figure.

Furthermore, such are the weather conditions around Britain's coasts that it is only possible to work on these projects for a few months every summer.

Then there are the 3,000 promised onshore turbines - many of which are to be erected in the most beautiful stretches of Britain's countryside.

These are meeting with so much local hostility that the Government has continually had to bend the planning rules in order to force them through over the wishes of local communities and the democratic opposition of local councils.

But wind power is not just the pipedream of deluded politicians. As the CBI was trying to warn yesterday, the real disaster of this great wind fantasy is that it has diverted attention from the genuine energy crisis now hurtling towards us at breakneck speed.

For while the Government is trying to force a scattering of useless wind turbines through the planning offices, the truth is that the rest of us will lose 40 per cent of our power stations within as little as seven years.

If this happens, and we don't have an alternative, our kettles won't boil, our computers won't work and our country will face economic meltdown.

There is little hope now of an 11th hour reprieve. Eight of our nine nuclear power stations - which presently supply 20 per cent of our electricity needs - are so old they will have to close.

Nine more large coal and oil-fired power plants will also be forced to shut down under an EU anti-pollution directive.

But more alarming still is the astonishing naivete of almost all our politicians when it comes to working out how we are going to fill the 40 per cent shortfall left in their wake. Very belatedly, the Government has said that it wants to see a new generation of nuclear reactors.

Yet there is little hope that any of them can be up and running earlier than 2020. What's more, they will have to be built by foreign-owned companies because, as recently as October 2006, the Government sold off our last world-class nuclear construction company, Westinghouse, to the Japanese at a knockdown price.

At the same time, our Energy And Climate Change Secretary, Ed Miliband, now says he will not allow any new coal-fired power stations to be built unless they have 'carbon capture' - piping off CO2 to bury it in holes in the ground.

This technology not only doubles the price of electricity but hasn't even yet been properly developed. And so the only hope of keeping the lights on will be to build dozens more gas-fired power stations - at a time when North Sea gas is fast running out.

And then we will be forced to rely on imports from politically unreliable countries such as Russia, at a time when gas prices are likely to be soaring.

In any event, over the past 20 years, our politicians have made an even more unholy shambles of Britain's energy policy than they have of our economy - and the cost, when the chickens come to roost in a few years' time, will be almost unimaginable.

The causes of Britain's impending energy crisis are manifold. Michael Heseltine's 1992 'dash for gas', when he closed down most of our remaining coal mines because North Sea gas was still cheap and abundant, and because its CO2 emissions were only half those of coal, was one of them.

But nothing has done more to take the politicians' eye off the ball, egged on by environmentalist groups such as Friends Of The Earth and Greenpeace, than their quite incomprehensible obsession with windmills.

For these white elephants can never produce more than a fraction of the electricity we need, and by no means always when we need it - as we saw last winter when, for weeks on end, they were scarcely turning at all.

Do politicians never look outside the windows of their centrally-heated offices to see how often the wind is not blowing?

The Government has now shovelled so much money in hidden subsidies into the pockets of the turbine companies that the 'wind bonanza', promoted on a host of fraudulent claims, has become one of the greatest scams of our age.

But if and when our lights do go out, it will be important to remember just why we got carried away by such a massive blunder.

Left with a land blighted with useless towers of metal, we shall look on those windmills as a monument to the age when the politicians of Britain and Europe collectively went completely off their heads.
