"The Aquarius migrant rescue ship is empty. Why?
The Aquarius migrant rescue ship has been caught in the middle of a diplomatic row, leaving it unable to undertake rescue operations.
It was forced to sail 1,000 miles to Valencia where it was allowed to dock, meaning many migrants were left stranded. 28 Jun 2018"
The BBC is still peddling the myth that they are "rescue ships". If they are wondering why the Aquarius is empty, it may be simple maths and logistics. Libya to Sicily/Malta and return is a short crossing, but depends on being able to unload passengers, refuel and resupply at will. Libya to France/Spain and return is not a short crossing, and maybe unloading, refuel and resupply won't be any easier.

Mercedes limousines have been a major factor in attracting the leaders (plus wives and families) of Developing Countries to Global Warming discussions. Traditional Rolls Royce diplomacy has been swept aside by brash German dominance
Basically they want to create a massive north African Sangatte
"Merkel, the architect of the EU-Turkey deal, told German MPs that it was time to seek conversations with African states about deals to return migrants “who absolutely have no right to stay”, modelled on the 2016 agreement."
I'm guessing that extra production of S-Class Mercedes and luxuriously blinged up Sprinter VIP wagons is already in hand - that 2016 agreement will only get implemented with extra sweeteners - African kleptocrats will accept nothing less.
The Guardian totally fails to accept their part in the atrocities against the Taxpayers of Europe that are causing unnecessary deaths and hardship to non Europeans sold a dream by Merkel. But they are beginning to understand how big a nightmare Merkel's dream has become.

Future of EU hinges on solving migration issue, says Merkel
"Chancellor sounds note of pessimism about chances of striking an EU-wide deal on the issue"
"European leaders are likely to sidestep the divisive issue of refugee quotas that has roiled the EU since 2015, when Brussels attempted to force through mandatory quotas."
"Questions persist about the proposed migrant processing centres, which no African country has agreed to host. The EU will call for further study of “regional disembarkation platforms”, a vague term for a scheme that EU officials admit is lacking detail."
"Merkel, the architect of the EU-Turkey deal, told German MPs that it was time to seek conversations with African states about deals to return migrants “who absolutely have no right to stay”, modelled on the 2016 agreement."
Lord Deben was a known associate of that liar Tim Yeo

Golden windfall of UK's Green guru: Firm owned by ex-Tory Minister John Gummer connects up wind turbine power - and it paid him £1,750 PER HOUR

"A former Cabinet Minister who plays a key role in deciding the future size of energy bills is chairman of a company that stands to benefit directly from his Government work, a Mail on Sunday investigation has revealed."
Not a Lot has actually improved for Taxpayers funding Lord Deben's lifestyle, and isn't likely to for another 4 years.

It is time for a Conservative Leader/Prime Minister to rid us of self-serving interests like Deben and Bercow.
So Deben throws out accusations
The rule is whatever libmob accuse others of is them PROJECTING their own behaviour
\\ On Channel 4, Deben said that people are only interested in making a fast buck out of continuing to oppose renewables.//

\\ On Channel 4, Deben said that HE IS only interested in making a fast buck out of continuing to PROMOTE renewables. //
Finally, I note that in the report on Deben's (spit) fairytale they have reverted to reporting on CO2. Very strange times.

We also have peat fires making the news because it burns. It used to be harvested because it burns, but that was opposed by the Green Blob.
Meanwhile the EU draws closer to the inevitable unprecedented death spiral caused by migration and Climate Scientists. Who had the bright idea to blame the migation crisis and civil wars on Global Warming in the first place?

CO2 huh...?
I notice that OCO-2 satellite data has seemingly been quite resistant to being messed with there's lots of "Carbon" when there's supposed to be little and little "Carbon" when there's supposed to be lots - at awkward times too.... and the distribution doesn't correlate well with GISS-NASA's simulations - at all.
All from the sensor that was supposed to be able to measure individual sites Carbon naughtiness.
Of course *nobody* in the Carbon mitigation business wants to talk about it at all and idiotic berks like Gummer prance around like nothing's wrong.

Well yes, and no! They are going to end up having created one, but they didn't intend to. Sangatte in France was blamed on the English, by the French and EU.
If MSF ferries fail to turn up on the Libyan Coast, will the EU and MSF blame the Italians, when the French, Germans and Spanish have not raised objections to offloading passengers and resupplying the ships in their own countries?
