8th May 2019 Abandon hope..

*

Wednesday 8th 41-46F, dark overcast and a light breeze. Some sun is threatened depending on your loyalties to which Danish forecast service. There was no mention from either about yesterday's hail and rain.

The Prime Minister of Denmark has announced another round of musical chairs to gain a free pass to the life-long [1st Class] gravy train.

The violent lurch to the extreme right is bound to continue. Even the extreme right is trying to distance itself from the ultra right. Probably in the vain hope of saving a few of their sitting members in the present government coalition from getting an early pension. Something they would cheerfully deny to the most work-crippled, lifelong manual worker. Who will be expected to suffer for years more to pay for early retirement for Denmark's crooked bankers.

Since "The Powers That Be" couldn't find a way of ridding themselves of the big city ghettoes in smart, modern blocks of flats, they have decided to simply demolish them. Which means there won't be so many would-be competitors at the next Winter Olympics.

Qualifiers are expected to fall heavily in Precision Stoning of the Police and Fire Brigade events. The Team and Individual Arson disciplines in large, fully occupied blocks of flats [apartments] are also bound to suffer a loss of qualified representatives.  

Meanwhile thousands of private homes are expected to be demolished due to pitiful building standards in the 70s and 80s. No damp courses and stuffed to the rafters with toxic chipboard it seems.  Not to mention the thousands more homes which will have to be erased from the Danish landscape around Chumpy's F35 intolerably noisy air bases. Talking of which: They're back! I must find that tripod for the SPL meter. So I can get some max SPL data to share with you all.  😏 🙉

One might hope all this land clearance would lead to public or even country parks. Or even a few public footpaths. But the farmers are bound to get the freed-up land for peanuts. There is enormous demand to grow even more toxic crops and poison even more drinking water resources to satisfy insatiable EU demands.

Basically it's a race between lowly Denmark being submerged by rising sea levels. Or desertification as the farmer's shadeless prairies bake into dust bowls under the onslaught of endless droughts. Like last year's and the beginning of this one. Only a couple of weeks ago there was a brown fog swirling over every field.

A walk to the lanes with cold hands in the light breeze. It is an extremely floriferous year. Even the oil seed rape is going crackers in the flowering department. I saw a single slug on the road today. The mass invasion of killer slugs seems to be over for the moment. Whether their new territory proved too toxic for them. Or they could not survive the drought, is unknown. In previous years there were billions in a filthy tide mark along both edges of every road. The gardens had buckets full per square meter.

Several European countries have suggested 25% of the EU budget should be spent on fighting climate change. The rest of them want to continue paying out for the car parks of non-tax paying, dodgy multi-nationals claiming their tarmac is agricultural land so they can claim a nice, big, fat subsidy. The other half is going to more multinational crooks building motorways to nowhere using slave labour but claiming sky high wage levels. The profits are being channelled through European Banks who need the money to stay afloat against the costs of insuring against rising sea levels.
