Anything that happens, or doesn't happen, is a sure sign of unprecedented Global Warming, especially if previous similar events can not be viewed on YouTube.

On Climate Science, Macron says there is no Planet B.
Does Climate Science have a Theory B to replace failed Theory A?

The Brembo product seems to be an alternative to copper slip/grease for preventing break squeal.
Duralac is for separating different metals to prevent electrolysis, so steel bolts and screws through aluminium masts, aluminium bodywork to steel chassis, steel engines to aluminium frames etc.
Different products for different purposes?

The speech in the UK is pretty free overall
Really?
Try telling Tommy Robinson, Count Dankula, Lauren & Brittany and........ that.
Will you publicly criticise Islamic behaviours?

Back in the 00s Gordon Brown instituted a heavy handed policy of harassing UK border shoppers with a "freewheeling" campaign of seizures targeting booze and tobacco
It has continued under Cameron & May.
This pre-emptive seizure without evidence until shopper proves they are for personal use has been ruled illegal in courts. HMRC continue regardless knowing most people can't afford to sue them.

@pcar I think that ranking is a smokescreen
Brendan O'Neil of Spiked signed the protest letter in the Times
but I noticed the rest of the sigs were from the normal lying cheating press in the UK
that have got away with it for years ... and they are desperate to stop justice against them
Suddenly they've given Brendan an article in the Sun
The speech in the UK is pretty free overall
cos once blocked in one format, truth can go to another
Individual categories have problems
eg Ofcom wants lbi-bias rather than Impartiality, and tolerates ridiculous BBC bias and blocking of skeptics
- Print paparazzi have no morals
- Twitter is rigged, but Gab is allowed
- te way the court prosecuted humour
- system protects Islam
but " Ireland, which ranks higher than the UK for press freedom, has a Leveson compliant system of press regulation."

And I thought climate change only brought bad news. Well done BBC for reporting this:
"Twisters missing from Tornado Alley"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/43898995
"In a twist that would ruin the storyline to the Wizard of Oz, the USA's 'Tornado Alley' has been strangely quiet this year.
In fact, if there are none reported in Oklahoma or Kansas on Thursday, 2018 will officially be the quietest start to the tornado season in both states …on record!
The "Alley" covers an area surrounding north Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa (as well as the fringes of bordering states).
It is in this zone that the USA records some of its most frequent and devastating tornadoes. Late spring sees the peak of the tornado season in these areas due to the clashing of air masses."
"This year has been possibly the quietest tornado season in recorded history. Kansas and Oklahoma would expect to see close to 19 tornadoes between the start of the year and now, with around 13 or 14 in April alone.
But this April, there hasn't been one! Even in the tornado-barren Aprils of 1987 and 1988, Oklahoma had already seen them earlier in the year."
"The latest "first tornado" occurrence in Oklahoma was 26th April in 1962, so if no twisters are spotted on Thursday, it will officially be the quietest start to the tornado season since daily records began in 1950.
Current forecasts from the USA's National Weather Service are predicting only a 'marginal' risk of any thunderstorm development through the rest of this week. There is however, a small chance that conditions for storm development may increase later next week.
For the time being though, it looks like Dorothy may have to find Oz by her own accord!"

Haha! See the pattern of attacking me instead of my ideas?
That is intellectual surrender.

How did Britain end up at No40 on the world press-freedom rankings?
Its 40th place puts the UK one ahead of Burkina Faso and two clear of Taiwan, and suggests that journalists working in Britain have less freedom to hold the powerful to account than those in such liberal states as South Africa, Chile or Lithuania....
Thank God for sites like this where PC ignored and facts laid bare.

Crapita military recruitment (10 year contract from 2012) is also a failure.
Apply to join - Crapita sucks teeth - 300 days later approved for interview/test at eg Army. Unsurprisingly (young want fast decisions), most have lost interest, found another job etc.
Crapita/Serco? DWP PIP.
Want a thirty+ page application form? You can't have one until you phone and tell us GP, NHS & Bank details - online = no.
After interrogation passed, expect form to arrive with you in 10-15 Working days. Must be completed & received by DWP within four weeks of application phone call.
One could easily conclude Gov't preference is for all (Mil & DWP) applications to fail.
