Tell the full story, Sunak

Dear Editor

What a shame Rishi Sunak’s speech outside No 10 failed to acknowledge that many of the problems that we face began when we prioritised a liberalism that is now out of control. What Rishi said was essentially the first paragraph of the speech he should have given. The country is waiting for the rest, PM.

Why would peaceful Muslims want to integrate with our society?

Dear Editor

What a brilliant open letter by Andrew Cadman.

The only thing that could be added is that the peaceful Muslims now have little in so-called British culture that they would wish to integrate with. To integrate with rainbows? Wokeism? Net Zero? Child mutilation? Destruction of the nuclear family? Trans rubbish?

My mechanic is a Muslim and he and his Muslim pals tell me how disappointed they have been since coming here legally. Because of the above they are forced back into their own communities, if they want to preserve any semblance of normal decent values.

Some are so depressed by the fact that UK society is no longer normal that they are seriously considering going back where they came from.

It’s another viewpoint but might explain quite a few things currently going on . . . or not going on . . . like integration

Terrific, Andrew

Dear Editor

I have to say that Andrew Cadman’s ‘An Open Letter to MPs’ was really terrific. 

It warmed the cockles of even my American heart. Thanks.

What’s the truth on Britain and Ukraine?

 Dear Editor,

So Saint Navalny was laid to rest to the strains of his favourite film, Terminator 2. Before Navalny became useful for Western propaganda he was prominent in an extreme Russian nationalist movement. One of his videos is still online in which he describes immigrants into Russia as ‘cockroaches’ who deserve to be shot. He was also an advocate of allowing every Russian to own a handgun. Western media has said he was poisoned with Novichok on the order of Putin as an example to other opposition leaders, but Ukrainska Pravda of  February 25 has the headline ‘Navalny died of natural causes’ quoting a Ukrainian intelligence officer, Kyrylo Budanov, as saying he died of a blood clot. In contrast with the huge coverage of Navalny’s death very little was reported following the death in a Ukrainian prison in January of American reporter Gonzalo Liro, arrested by the SBU in July 2023 and of whom Elon Musk wrote: ‘Lira had been tortured in a Ukrainian prison for the crime of criticising Zelensky.’

In war truth is the first casualty. The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, warned on February 26 that ‘a number of Nato and EU member states are considering sending troops to Ukraine’. He should have said that they are already there, including a British contingent. Can we really believe that it was Ukraine, with no naval expertise, which manufactured sea drones and sank a number of Russian warships in the Black Sea, and not our Special Boat Squadron? Would the British military really hand over Storm Shadow missiles to partially trained Ukrainian soldiers, given that they are £2.54million a pop? This was confirmed this week by Germany’s Chancellor Scholtz who said British troops were involved in firing Storm Shadows in Ukraine. Tobias Ellwood MP said Scholtz had ‘endangered British lives in Ukraine’. So we do have ‘boots on the ground’ there.

The Russian YouTube channel Military Summary recently published a precis of what they said was a document obtained by Russian military intelligence detailing a British plan for a Nato expeditionary force into Ukraine. It says that the present large-scale and lengthy Nato exercises along Russia’s borders are rehearsals for an attack on Russia, and that preparations will be complete by May 2024. The first stage will be to introduce a no-fly zone west of the Dniepr River. Immediately after, Nato troops in three spearheads will race towards the Dniepr and fortify that line there. Western Ukraine will be brought into the Nato and EU orbit. That is quite possible since Russia’s air force would be destroyed if they tried to fight the USAF and the RAF. However, it seems to be premised on the idea that we can bomb Russia but they won’t launch hypersonic missiles at us.

Just because leaders of various Nato countries, including Rishi Sunak, have said that there are no plans to send troops to Ukraine doesn’t mean that there are no plans to do that. The war in Ukraine could quite easily spiral out of control.

Another dim Dame in the ‘health’ industry

Dear Editor

I rather like the moniker ‘dim Dames’ as referred to by Kathy Gyngell in her newsletter this week to refer to the dreadful parade of clueless cretins of the fairer sex – people like June Raine – who inhabit the upper reaches of the quangocracy.

Another of this breed of grey, blue-stockinged Oxbridge civil servant types is Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert who has a book out about the covid vaccines and her heroic role in bringing it to the arms of billions of morons.

Readers of TCW will, I am sure, endorse her superwoman efforts in getting the happy juice out there. Worth going online at Amazon and elsewhere and writing a review, I think.

Lies, damned lies and CCC Net Zero cost forecasts

Dear Editor

Oliver Blanchard, a former chief economist at the IMF, told the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee that the cost of Net Zero will be far, far more than current estimates. Net Zero Watch, an independent organisation, agreed and wants the government to launch an urgent inquiry into the conduct of the Climate Change Committee (CCC). It is alleged that politicians and the public may have been misled by the CCC which used spurious weather data in their modelling enabling them to reduce the future capacity of electricity generation and storage equipment apparently needed and hence reduce the projected costs. The CCC have reluctantly admitted that their electricity system modelling is inadequate, thus understating costs by tens of billions of pounds per year in their forecasts. The CCC also used low figures for the cost of electric vehicles, again reducing the estimates of Net Zero costs. It appears that CCC have also assumed extraordinary cost reductions in the future which had little basis in fact. All these wrong assumptions mean that the cost of Net Zero will be hundreds of billions of pounds higher than previously estimated. There must be a far-reaching inquiry into the CCC and those involved in what can only be called deceptions before more taxpayers’ money is poured down the bottomless green drain. There are lies, damned lies and CCC Net Zero cost forecasts.
