Another big issue in Great Britain is the climate alarmist "Net Zero" CO2 project that is costing ordinary Brits a lot of money out of their personal pocketbooks. The Reform Party has been the only one taking this head on, calling it "Net Stupid" and calling to end it entirely. The Conservative Party takes a more nuanced approach to eliminate the extremes Labour is pushing but keeping a fair amount of it in place. Interestingly, a think tank headed by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair issued an analysis highly critical of Net Zero just before the election, which upset the current Labour leadership immensely.

The pollsters thought the Green Party was in real contention with Labour for a mayorship in a left-leaning area, but it turned out that it was the Reform Party, not the Green Party, that turned out to be the real competition to Labour in that seat.

Reading the British newspapers online, unlike American newspapers, gives a real sense of what is happening across the pond. Indeed the British newspapers usually do a more accurate and thoroughr job of reporting what is really happening here in the states as well.

Polling showed illegal immigration a top issue in the UK. This is another case where the traditional conservatives have not been strong enough on illegal immigration and the voters are turning to the populist right instead. We saw it in Italy, France, and the Netherlands. It is now being felt in Germany and has come in a very large way to the UK.

This is absolutely outrageous. Something simply MUST be done to crack down on these arrogant Democrat judges who are abusing power to advance their partisan political agenda. They are utterly despicable and make a mockery of our court system.

I read that even the liberal dominated Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended this judge from her duties due to aiding and abetting the escape of this illegal alien from federal officers.

I recall a local Judge who said of the victim (VietNam vet) while in his own home still sitting in his bed... was shot w a 410 gauge shotgun, by a local "good ole boy." (One of the socially elite.)
Judge said: "I dont care you say because... anytime you've got a bunch of boys living in houses together, wearing their hair long like girls, and driving vans instead of cars... you can bet they are doing something wrong."
That was a long time ago, but it is still what its like living in a "small town."

"Net Zero" CO2 causes Net Zero electricity on the grid for consumers. If you like blackouts, you will love wind and solar energy. This boondoggle must be stopped in North Carolina where it is already coming out way. Our "woke" energy monopoly Duke Energy is pushing for it. Our RINO Senate leader Phil Berger did a dirty deal with the special interests and with Roy Cooper to rewrite the already bad HB951 into North Carolina's radical Green New Deal, which is more radical than what Europe has. Phil Berger needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of the state on a rail. He is a despicable political whore to the special interests and the Democrats.

Canada acquired a real migration problem under Trudeau, and arch-globalist Carney was very vulnerable on that. In Quebec which highly values its French heritage is particularly sensitive to that. Both the Conservatives and Bloc Quebequois failed to use that issue aggressively as they should have, probably to avoid being compared to Trump who had pissed off lots of Canadians across the spectrum.

Unfortunately, that figures. Cheeseman has never liked transparency or public involvement in decision making. That was shown by the bizarre and controlling way he handled the last meeting at Aurora. It is also shown by his failure to follow NC statute on public hearings on his scheme to consolidate Eastern and Tayloe into Cheeseman's Folly monster elementary school. Cheeseman patterns his power plays after the Deep State.

Even if you are not from Chocowinity, it is good to show up tonight.

I've got a feeling I know what's going to happen BUT hopefully I'm wrong. If they vote to close Snowden, the public should peacefully make it so none of these Autocrats will want to walk down the street.

If Cheeseman wants to be a cowboy, he'll pretty much guarantee the inevitability of an audit.

Audit, audit audit!!!

THe money to these illegal alien freeloaders from NGOs also needs to be cut off. Trump is already terminating their federal grants, which is an important step, but the NGOs need to be prosecuted for harboring illegal aliens if they provide them money or places to stay or anything else from any type of funds. Catholic Charities has already announced that they are bugging out of this business, but there are others.

Even the legal analyst for liberal CNN has admitted that if this judge did what is alleged, she committed a crime. Actually, she has been charged with two federal felonies.
