I don’t have a subscription so I can’t read it but I would guess it’s not really about “net zero”, more that their current office is pretty empty and not being fully utilized so why not get a smaller one. Which would simply be a sensible use of space.
They probably don’t need so much space with modern equipment, and have moved quite a few jobs to places that are cheaper overall. As a customer of HSBC, I know that many of them actually work on the south coast, and in Birmingham etc.
I used to find going to work near the City exciting- now I’m glad I never have to see it again. I am slightly surprised how few of my colleagues have gone back to our office, given the choice – especially the youngsters. In a way it’s sad but then again mass commuting into London was kind of mad and often deeply unpleasant (and expensive).

““The Tories must u-turn on Net Zero to win” – Instead of banning petrol and immiserating households, the Government should focus on producing cheap, abundant clean energy, argues Henry Hill in the Telegraph.”
To steal stewart’s thunder, are we really convinced they are that bothered about “winning”? Perhaps some of the backbenchers, but Sunak? He’s no dummy, he knows he’s for the chop – his audience is not the electorate in the UK but prospective future employers – globally.
I sent this YouTube link to the DS but they don’t seem interested in publishing it.
I don’t know why. To me it is an example of hopeful scepticism by RFK Jr who impresses me more everyday.
He basically questions US foreign policy for the last 70 years, including the Ukraine intervention, but does so in a way that leaves you feeling positive and inspired.

I’m afraid The Daily Sceptic suffers from believing a particular Ukraine narrative, and studiously ignores other analyses and interpretations of events.
I would regard this as one of the most important speeches in recent Western political history. Potentially it is our nations’, and our own, responses to it that will determine our survival.
“Private jets keep green light as WEF pushes to remove 75% of all cars in just 27 years”
So many people I speak to now recognise that we cannot replace more than a small fraction of petrol/diesel (ICE) cars with electric cars (EVs). However they then differ from me in that their conclusion is that QED the ban on ICE vehicles cannot happen and we will therefore be allowed to continue with ICE cars. Whereas my view is that the ban will go ahead and motoring as we know it will come to and end along with much of the leisure, tourism, camping and caravanning industries.
Although I have noticed that the Worlds best selling EV apart from the Tesal, appears to be a Chinese micro EV;

”It is a car Jim but not as we know it”, mind you once people have been terrified that their cars will be going altogether they may then accept the compromise of this micro car.
We do not want the world they have planned for us.
Excellent article looking at the migrant crisis across Europe which has no signs of abating; ”Various factors are triggering the flood of migrants to Europe this year, which has already surpassed the 300,000 that arrived last year. Primarily males in their mid-twenties, this year’s migrants comprise Arabs, Afghans, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Northeast Africans, and Sub-Saharan Africans. A U.N. official commented that there are “over 20 million migrants, many of them Muslim, waiting at the doorstep of Europe.” The mild winter in Europe, coupled with the economic chaos in Libya and Sudan, has contributed to this increase. Enticing images of the West’s standard of living beamed onto social media and the internet and accessed by Sub-Saharan Africa drives economic migrants who, having lost hope in their own countries, seek out smugglers to take them on the dangerous crossing. Reports of humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) rescuing migrants from the Mediterranean Sea create a “pull effect” that encourages migrants to risk their lives. Moreover, NGO’s take advantage of a European Union (EU) law that makes it difficult to deport migrants once they have reached a European port. In February, the number of Tunisians and sub-Saharan Africans trying to reach Italy and Greece spiked after… Read more »
Speaking of migrants, Sadiq Khan is obsessed with them isn’t he? He wants more. He’s also not shy about making up complete lies and re-writing history that ”migrants built London”. Well I’m glad he got owned here!

Morning all!! Morning Mogs….. I saw this Twitter yesterday, and I’m putting it on in full so everyone can view it….and because I think it addresses a lot of what sceptics think…it also ties in with what you have said….and sadly because I think he’s right…. “Britain isn’t a failed state yet but will be been soon enough. Probably in my lifetime. It’s not avoidable. We’re heading for rationing of basic utilities. We’re going to keep adding millions of people to the population, we’re not going to fix water leaks or build any new reservoirs. We’re going to keep pushing electric cars and heat pumps that we have no spare capacity to power. We’re going to keep building useless windmills and eco-boondoggles and we’re going to keep borrowing to keep the house of cards from collapsing. We’re not going to build enough houses, and supply will not keep pace with demand because demand will keep increasing, and the houses we do build won’t be big enough to raise a family in – even if anyone could afford to buy one. More of our cities will become dormitories for foreign students while the big cities become demilitarised zones – where barely… Read more »
Morning gummy. Well this is all very depressing as a forecast. I refuse to be too downcast about the future of the UK and Europe but at the same time have to be realistic as I just cannot see anything fundamentally changing any time soon. In fact it seems to only be getting worse. On the topic of the migration crisis, I would deliberately avoid going to any Muslim countries on holidays but now, of course, due to mass immigration everywhere, we have to do our due diligence and research where is safe to go because our old favourite holiday resorts are looking way too dodgy and pose a real safety risk. Would you be confident if your daughter wanted to go here on holiday? I’m reading more and more about these sorts of things so that it now looks like an organized criminal activity, but obv the MSM does now cover it. 🙁 These are not isolated incidents. The problem is, the old adage of ”prevention is better than cure” does not seem to occur to the authorities. These crimes should not be allowed to be committed in the first place and are entirely preventable. Great, they catch the… Read more »
People are getting very angry..and rightfully so. Not because of immigration, but because everyone can see that in the main it is now out of control..and it is ALWAYs and predominantly young men..who are NOT fleeing war…..not women, not children, not families…
MSM….terrible story..

I am not a person who looks on the bleak side generally..but this is getting harder to ignore…This Twitter has some good links to the problems of mass immigration in Italy…I’m sorry, but they are right..it’s an invasion…..and no one in their right mind would thinks it’s OK….
https://twitter.com/RadioGenova
LOL yes I’ve seen this and you’re right, he provides valuable videos, evidence of the reality of mass immigration. I used to love Greece as a holiday destination, Italy too, but now it seems we have to be *really* diligent about doing our research before we book up as these once trustworthy, reliable places are just reporting more and more crimes perpetrated by migrants. 🙁
If you regularly visit jihadwatch.org you will see that not a day goes by without countries such as Germany, Sweden and France reporting horrific crimes committed by migrants, but the status/ethnicity of the culprit is rarely shared on MSM so we have to delve and rely on alternative news platforms for these essential facts. Robert Spencer and the team do an excellent job of reporting the awful state of play on the ground on that site and I recommend anyone to follow their work. Very insightful.
Jihadwatch !!!.?..LOL…who have thought a few years ago you would be writing those words? Monster LOL!!!
🤫😂 Nah it’s got good info on there, trust me.
That is a brilliant piece of commentary – and spot on, sadly. Thanks for posting
Yes, that sums everything up.
Its a bleak picture and yesterday’s article about stupidity made me very concerned about the problem that most people seem incapable of wanting to do something about what’s going on. I live in hope but listening to Victor Davis Hanson’s latest interview (part 2) on Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson I realise that the historical precedents are not encouraging. Most ordinary people seem to have lost the will to care and/or courage to do anything about it.
Is this lack of a national ID re the draw of the UK to illegals going to be solved with a digital ID “solution” linked to access to benefits, pensions, NHS etc??? Seems that the plan is forging ahead….
Careful what you wish for folk as they’re funnelling public opinion in their preferred direction.
..it’s across the whole of Europe..they have no way of identifying them..before they flee into the cities…
We will be the ones to suffer the I.D crap..we are the ‘captive audience’…and will pay for our own demise…!!
The Eugyppius article in the round up is the way forward..vote for people who will try to stop it….
I would add to that to never ever vote for somebody who has ever tested positive for asymptomatic intelligence.
https://twitter.com/Thomas_Binder/status/1345414220008091648
Oh I agree! The ID crap, as you so eloquently describe it, is being forced upon us ‘for our benefit’!
I need to revert to the pirates’ speech bubbles from Asterix to avoid censorship for foul language!

https://email.ietinfo.org/c/18NhkhHG5yzzJJadqXFqLlqPVwZ A story about Canadian censorship, by the look of it – not that I use either of these gadgets. However, it looks a bit like a pot calling the kettle black.

A proper look at the cover up. Whoops – inquiry.
I don’t know if this has been posted already…but an interesting pre-print… mRNA: vaccine or gene therapy? The safety issues of regulation Now that the ‘scamdemic’ is over, are the mRNA ‘vaccines’ which did not have to face the rigorous testing of a novel gene therapy product still considered vaccines or gene therapy?…..and should it be under more strict regulation?…. “Now that the pandemic emergency has passed, it’s time to consider the safety issues associated with this rapid approval. The mode of action of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines should classify them as gene therapy products (GTPs), but they have been excluded by regulatory agencies. Some of the tests they have undergone as vaccines have produced non-compliant results in terms of purity, quality and batch homogeneity. The wide and persistent biodistribution of mRNAs and their protein products, incompletely studied due to their classification as vaccines, raises safety issues. Post-marketing studies have shown that mRNA passes into breast milk and could have adverse effects on breast-fed babies. Long-term expression, integration into the genome, transmission to the germline, passage into sperm, embryo/fetal and perinatal toxicity, genotoxicity and tumorigenicity should be studied in the light of adverse events reported in pharmacovigilance databases. Potential horizontal transmission… Read more »
Good question
A related question is whether these products are still operating under Emergency Use Authorisation in the U.K. I’ve not seen any report that they’ve been approved, so I would assume so. I can’t remember if the trials are meant to finish this year or next year.
from memory their Phase 3 trials were due to be completed during first quarter of this year. Of course there has been complete silence so still cannot be properly authorised
…I think all the trials have finished now…as far as the Sanofi booster goes..there weren’t any long term ones anyway….!!?
Thanks
I thought so too
Yes I posted it, but that probably doesn’t surprise you. lol
LOL….
https://www.axios.com/2023/06/26/kamala-harris-poll-2024-election-biden
49% of registered voters have a negative view of Vice President Kamala Harris, compared to 32% with a positive view, per a new NBC News poll.
Why it matters: NBC News says Harris’ net-negative rating of -17 is the lowest for a vice president in the history of its poll
minus 17..!! But what is even funnier is that while everyone with eyes can see she’s an inept idiot..this is an excuse given in the article…
“[It] shouldn’t surprise anyone that there is going to be a different filter and a different focus put on the first woman to ever be Vice President of the United States, particularly a woman of color,” Democratic strategist Cornell Belcher told Axios.
..yes that will be it..it’s because she’s a woman of colour..!! LOL!!
I cannot fathom why anyone who is not in welfare would vote Democrat.
Sorry I meant to type ON welfare
..there must be a lot of ‘immigration’ stories today!!!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-66022341
“Lincolnshire Police has been given extra government money ahead of the arrival of asylum seekers at the former RAF Scampton base.
The force will receive £1.8m to allow extra officers to be recruited.
An additional £2m will be used towards developing digital technology and improving crime prevention measures.
“We are acutely aware of the heightened concerns of residents in and around the Scampton area and this funding will allow the Chief Constable to support those communities.”
The Home Office plans to convert the ex-RAF site near Lincoln into an accommodation centre for up to 2,000 asylum seekers.
The decision has caused controversy with protest meetings against the plan and unsuccessful bid by West Lindsey District Council for an injunction against the scheme.”
So the money will allow the Chief Constable to support the community..after the event? Whereas if they cared about the community at all they would have agreed to the council’ injunction? So that the situation need never arise?…..
