Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown?
With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

8) After over 600 years, don't you think the hard-right should be a bit more original than this boring crap?
And, what is it with Brits of any colour, religion or gender that all you have to do is wave a racist anti-migrant flag in front of them and they go batshit?

7) In 1517 there were hardly any black/brown people, the indigenous Jewish community had been killed off some 300 or so years before and there were certainly no Muslims.
The rioters were just attacking white people in different clothing who didn't speak English.

6)UK xenophobic riots run back 100s of years
See Evil May Day 1517. Any foreigners were attacked but particularly Flemish cobblers and French royal courtiers.
Dr Bell "accused immigrants of stealing jobs from English workers and of "eat[ing] the bread from poor fatherless children".

Oswald Mosley ran "Keep Britain White" in the 1950s

4) The 1905 Aliens Act has no mention of Jews but the campaign of the BBL was strongly antisemitic; Mahmood's restrictions will not reference Muslims/Islam, but Deform and its allies will see this as a weakening of an already weak Labour government & attacks on Mosques, Muslims etc will increase.

3) In 2025 Deform is now pushing for similar cruelties, mainly Muslim. What Winston Churchill had to say about the 1905 Act:
"The Bill ... proposes to establish in this country a loathsome system of police interference and espionage, of passports and arbitrary power exercised by police officers."

2) The Act was an antisemitic piece of legislation pushed into parliament by the British Brothers League and William Evans-Gordon. Victims of this piece of racist legislation were Jews, who since 1881 had poured into the UK from Russia and the Ukraine as a result of the atrocious pogroms there.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.
This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.
If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.
