| | Cigarette sales get puffed down in Britain | | 2008-06-23 01:45:00 | | Smoking kills – that we all know. Now cigarette sales are getting killed in Britain, after a total ban on smoking was introduced in England (virtually every enclosed public place and workplace) from 1 July this year. Cigarette sales figures are out – and they say that in the one month after the ban, sales have dropped by 6.9%. This was reported in the British newspaper The Guardian’s website that quoted a London Times story, which, in turn, cited the figures from consumer research group AC Nielsen. “Sales had already been falling by about 2% annually,” The Guardian also noted. It does help, of course, that prior to England, smoking had been banned in Scotland, Ireland and Wales earlier. “The fall in July mirrors similar declines in cigarette consumption after smoking was banned in Ireland in 2004 and in Scotland last spring. In addition, the wet weather in July may have deterred smokers from using the outdoor smoking facilities,” the report added, while talking about how ... | | By: IIPM-World | | |

| | Solar Photovoltaic Installations in Britain are Very 'Low' | | 2008-05-31 17:46:05 | | DSC_0062, originally uploaded by The Udall Legacy Bus Tour: Views from the Road.British Labour government of PM Gordon Brown doesn't encourages renewable energy enthusiastically, at all. That is a fact.An average household's solar power photovoltaic installation costs between $24.000 and $30.000.There are only about 100.000 households in Britain, which have their own micro power generation equipment.Many bureaucratic and financial obstacles are not encouraging individual families to purchase micro power generation installations.Every day it is getting more obvious, that it is going to take a brand new government with much more responsible, environmentally more intelligent and wise politicians to finally accept renewable energy sources as a reality and the only way to true energy independence.Solar power, wind farms and geothermal power plants could supply absolutely all Britain's power needs.Solar powered roofs could be our every day reality.... | | By: Solar Shingles | | |

| | EU laws hold Britain back | | 2008-05-15 06:33:02 | | I saw this piece by Mike Nattrass MEP in one of my local papers, the Solihull Times. Under the heading "EU laws hold Britain back" it is in his regular column - 'Another crazy day in Brussels' with UKIP West Midlands MEP Mike Nattrass. This is what he wrote -If part 1 had you asking why I show venom towards the EU, understand that this parliament in 35 years has created more UK laws than Westminster has made since 1485 and the battle of Bosworth Field.It holds Britain back from trading with the world, including Europe, and restricts innovation. I love Europe, its people and its diversity. EU harmonisation damages the individuality of its people.Brussels 2004 confirmed a rewrite of history was being made.

| | Shell-the biggest Oil Bully in Britain says NO to Renewable Energy | | 2008-05-07 09:37:00 | | In the same week oil corporation Shell announced their truly fantastic $7.8 billion profit earned just in last 3 months!!!, due to historically record oil prices, Shell also canceled its involvement in London Array wind farm project, which should have delivered 1GW of power to the people, who live in the river Thames estuary. That would have been enough power to supply 25% of homes in Greater London area.The last blow, Shell has delivered to the British public and to the Greater London area, which is otherwise economic super power of England and Europe only shows, how very powerful are Multinational Oil Corporations, these days. They completely control our life to a such extent, that their public relation departments don't even need to care, when and where they publish so very negative announcement, as it was this 'total disintegration of British government renewable energy plan' of building new 33 gigawatts off shore wind farms till 2020, as it was stated in official government plan a... | | By: Solar Shingles | | |
| | Petrol Crashed through the $10 per gallon in Britain | | 2008-05-06 09:50:00 | | Petrol prices are constantly reaching record marks and they have climbed to the highest mark in the entire history of modern society! Patrol finally broke the mark of $10 (£5) per gallon in BritainThat is just a 'dry' news, nothing really new, what we could not have predicted before, however this fact is very painful for our consumer's pocket and for the health of national economy.Solar Power and other renewable energy sources are Free of charge and absolutely Endless. Full stop. Obviously that is not a fact for our politicians, who are in charge and who are responsible for the economic condition of our country.There will be NO economic growth, because of ludicrous oil prices and high inflation rate and we all know very well, what does that mean. It means a Crisis. A big economic crisis, because of dirty, stinky oil, we are all so very much addicted to.Our politicians, such as George W. Bush, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are simply 'madly in love' with Oil. They worship the Oil at ever... | | By: Solar Shingles | | |
| | Celebration Time for Free Solar Power in Britain | | 2008-05-02 20:15:00 | | Solar power is going to have much brighter future in Britain, after fantastic defeat of Labour political party on local elections, yesterday. Who would have taught, that Labour leaders have so vigorously supported the most dirty energy sources and technologies and represented the strongest opposition to renewable energy sources in UK. Even a few days ago, the Labour party led by Gordon Brown voted against wider support to renewable energy in British parliament.Thank Goodness, people have had enough of lies and hundreds of wasted $billions by Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and other high Labor politicians.There is also a new celebrity on the political scene in London. Newly elected mayor, who defeated former major Ken Livingstone, is Boris Johnson, a candidate, who was loudly supported by David Cameron, new, young, charismatic and very promising leader of Conservative party.Sadly, the success of wider application of renewable and environmentally sustainable energy sources almost entirely lies... | | By: Solar Shingles | | |

| | Panic and Shortage of Oil in Britain | | 2008-04-26 04:13:00 | | Only one strike over the final salary pension scheme for new employees/members, organized by Unite union in Scotland's Grangemouth oil refinery, has been totally disrupted the nation's oil and gas production. We can really feel panic at every level of economy/society from the average car driver to the business executives and governmental officials.Some patrol stations have already limited the amount of fuel one person could purchase, and they also set new, higher prices of petrol.Well done, Prime Minister. He has bet and has encouraged total support and investments into oil/gas energy, despite very loud voices of opposition to diversify nation's energy production and distribution. Modern world is simply far too unstable to 'bet only on one horse', yet the Prime Minister and his government have done this very mistake. Energy is far to precious and too important commodity to take it for granted and not being able to listen, what other citizens have to say, considering renewable energy so... | | By: Solar Shingles | | |

| | Almost a Third of Britain Haven't Been to The Dentist in Two Years | | 2008-02-27 18:56:00 | | A recent survey of over 1,000 people shows that almost one-third of British residents have not visited the dentist over the last two years due to lack of money. It's been at least two years for roughly 30% of all people in the 16-64 age range.Dental firm Dentale says that despite this data, one in seven admit that their teeth are either in poor condition or in extremely poor condition. One in five say recommended dental work was not performed due to costs as well.1.29m Britons have had dental work done in another country due to lower costs, the research also said. "Our findings are absolutely shocking. We are one of the richest countries in the world but we are known for having bad teeth," said Dentale.

So it is not surprising the group headed by the Muslim Brotherhood's chief theologian would embrace the call from the Archbishop of Canterbury to actually implement such a plan.

| | Judge in Britain Outlines 11 of Al Gore’s Lies That Must Be Disclosed to Students in Propaganda Film: An Inconvenient Truth | | 2007-10-10 19:14:26 | | We wrote an editorial recently regarding a Judge’s decision to require British students to receive a warning before they are shown Al Gore’s indoctrination movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Thankfully, the Judge’s ruling is much more extensive. He is requiring 11 of Al Gore’s lies to be exposed to the children before they see the movie. This is a great start folks."In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children."1. The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.2. The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.3. The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global warming.4. The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that this was not the case.5. The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.6. The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant's evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.7. The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.8. The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.9. The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.10. The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.11. The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.(source)Now we can wait for Al Gore the charlatan to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. The Prize is a direct result of this nonsensical movie. The entire World has gone insane.Related EditorialsBritish Students Saved From Al Gore Indoctrination Global Warming Movie, “Inconvenient Truth.”Judge Martin Jenkins Temporarily Saves the World: Dismisses Dangerous Global Warming LawsuitThe Most Dangerous Class-Action Lawsuit of Our Time: Suing For Causing Global Warming and HurricanesHannity’s America: Sean Hannity Exposes Al Gore and Liberals with Their Global Warming HypocrisyLiberals Learn that Carbon Offsets are a Swindle, Proceed to Eat their OwnGlobal Warming: The New ReligionAl Gore and "Live Earth" Drown 10 Polar BearsAl Gore: More of an Environmental Disaster than a Compact Florescent Light BulbGlobal Warming InsanityLatest Liberal Guilt Trip: Humans Are Using Too Much Solar EnergyWalking Causes Climate Change / Global Warming: Had Enough Yet?Environmentalism and the Global Warming Religion: An Agent of the Catholic ChurchJohn Edwards Tells American Middle-Class to Sacrifice their SUVsJohn Stossel Debates Robert F.

| | Muslim group behind ‘mega-mosque’ in London seeks to convert all Britain | | 2007-09-15 11:35:00 | | A Muslim group that wants to open a giant £100 million mosque in London has set its sights on “winning the whole of Britain to Islam”.Tablighi Jamaat aims to build an Islamic complex near to the site of the 2012 Olympic stadium, with a mosque for 12,000 people, by far the largest religious building in Britain.The organisation, which has millions of followers worldwide, insists that it is a peaceful, apolitical revivalist movement that promotes Islamic consciousness among individual Muslims. However, intelligence agencies have cautioned that the group’s ability to fire young men with a zeal for Islam acts as a staging post, for some, along a path that leads to jihadist terrorism.Kafeel Ahmed, the Indian doctor who died from burns last month after trying to set off a car bomb at Glasgow Airport, is the latest in a line of terrorists for whose initial radicalisation Tablighi Jamaat has been blamed.

| | | Lessons from history: "Zinoviev Letter" - USSR and Britain in 1924 | | 2007-07-26 12:43:04 | | Looking at Russo-British relations in the past one finds startling examples, often they are very close replicas of the current stand-off between the two sides. Whether or not appropriate conclusions can be drawn from historic lessons is a different question.After the Conservative party in Britain lost the December 1923 elections, in January of the following year the Labor party for the first time in its history was granted the opportunity to form the cabinet under the new prime-minster Ramsey MacDonald. In February of that year, Britain formally recognized the young republic of USSR, and diplomatic relations were established on February 2, 1924.In October of 1924, the British parliament was dissolved after the Labor party lost a crucial vote over the need for criminal persecution of the chief editor of "Workers Weekly" newspaper D.R. Campbell for inciting the military to mutiny if they were sent to counter the protesting workers. Shortly thereafter on October 25, just four days before the scheduled elections the British Foreign Office published in the "Daily Mail" a secret letter whose author was the head of the executive committee of the Comintern Grigoriy Zinoviev, the revolutionary-exporting arm of the new Communist republic.The letter contained instructions to the British communists regarding tactics to increase socially-stirring propaganda within the army as well as plans to attract Labor party members into the revolutionary scheme. The letter had an effect of a media-bomb and made the biggest contribution to the Labor party's defeat in the elections to their Conservative rivals. They ended up being outnumbered in parliament by more than 3:1.The new conservative government formed in November under Stanley Baldwin (including Winston Churchill in the spot of chancellor of the exchequer) informed the Soviet Union that bilateral agreements signed with the Soviet republic by the Labor government would not be fulfilled. Diplomatic relations were terminated for a lon... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |

| | Britain and Russia drift further apart over Lugovoi | | 2007-07-11 23:56:59 | | The row over the Litvinenko poisoning between Russia and the UK seems to be escalating very rapidly this week. Such haste is rather strange since no real developments have happened in the case since Andrei Lugovoi's (pictures) notorious press-conference (the main suspect in the case according to UK authorities) in Moscow more than a month ago. The Guardian reports:The Foreign Office and Downing Street are preparing to send a strong signal to the Kremlin following its refusal to extradite Andrei Lugovoi, the former KGB agent suspected of murdering Alexander Litvinenko last November.The government was last night considering counter-measures to show Britain's extreme displeasure at the Kremlin's decision, and the seriousness with which it takes the "terrible" murder of Mr Litvinenko - a British citizen and fierce critic of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The options include the possible expulsion of Russian diplomats from the London embassy, and the withdrawal of cooperation in several areas, including education, trade, social affairs and counter-terrorism.Although the Russian government officially announced the refusal to extradite Mr. Lugovoi last Monday, Moscow's stance was not new, and no real doubts existed about it since Britain asked for the extradition a few months ago. The Russian side has three motivations behind its actions.First, extradition of its citizens is barred by its constitution. Second, it has so far seen no evidence in British documents that make Mr. Lugovoi a suspect in the case; if it does, it promises to try him at home. But third, and most important, is Russia's counter-action to Britain's refusal to extradite Boris Berezovsky (the notorious Russian tycoon, who is plotting to set up a coup in the Kremlin) and Ahmed Zakaev (a spokesman for the Chechen terrorists); both were friends of Alexander Litvinenko, and Russia has deep suspicion of their involvement in the affair.Many analysts have pointed out to Russia's obligation to extr... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
| | Surprise-surprise, Mr. Blair - Gazprom goes for Britain | | 2007-06-12 04:08:00 | | In an apparent test of Britain's free-market intentions, Gazprom's deputy executive Alexander Medvedev (not to be confused with Dmitri Medvedev, Gazprom's Chairman and potential successor to Mr. Putin) announced at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on Sunday that the Russian gas monopoly was close to a deal increasing its presence in the British energy market. As CNN Money reports Mr. Medvedev' announcement: "In the near future, there will be a deal to further increase the customer base on the British market," Medvedev said, according to media reports. The executive added that anyone in London for the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which starts at the end of June, would hear about the deal. The announcement comes as a surprise and bears a slight degree of mockery (perhaps unrelated) at the statements made by the departing British prime-minister Blair. Over the past month, Mr. Blair has been voicing concerns about Russia flexing its energy muscle as well as giving warnings to Europ... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |

| | Britain Goes Without Russia in Energy Needs : Should Russia Worry? | | 2007-05-25 03:01:00 | | Several developments on the subject of EU-Russia energy cooperation have popped up yesterday that deserve attention. British PM Tony Blair in a statement in The Times talked about the future of British energy policy; the article, specifically the paragraphs below, caused a lot of anxiety in the Russian press, heightened by the tensions over the "severe cooling of British-Russian relations" amid the Lugovoi extradition: As if that were not enough, we are now faced with countries such as Russia, who are prepared to use their energy resources as an instrument of policy. Over ten years I have watched energy policy go from being a relatively quiet backwater to something taking on a strategic importance that could be as crucial to our country’s future as defence.Russian daily Vremya Novostey cites evidence for the specific anti-Russian nature of the British white paper on energy in the focus of PM Blair on the Langeled natural gas pipeline from Norway rather than on the Nordstream pipe... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
