Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Even so, the intrepid people pictured here deeply enjoyed the experience, and repeat tree-plantings later this winter are being dreamed of already. Don't be a sap! Plant a sapling!

Howrya folks, great work. Are you going to be doing it again. I'd love to devote some spare time..... e-mail me.
Sorry cdn't make it - mighty well done - be with yez soon!
The best form of defence is attack! This is a great way to go, keep it up, more trees please.
Well done all of ye.
I suppose the tree planting is a good idea in one way. In years to come it will supply the wood needed for the fires in the homes for families to cook with and heat there homes. we should start to cut down forests worldwide to supply our needs with a growing world population and leave the oil and gas where it is. back to the good old days of smog and breathing in soot. For the time being i believe that both should be utilsed alongside renewables until we have a viable solution to all the problems. The problem with the gas and oil giants is no accountability to the public in general. Renationalisation would go a long way to providing a cleaner (although not perfect) solution to the current situatons worldwide.
How are ya Carl you bollix? Long time no see
Of course you realise that plants absorb smog and soot so the more we plant the less of that we have to breathe.
They can also house us, feed us and keep us healthy once we learn how to use them. Better again as a way of heating our homes is building our houses so as to absorb and store the sun's heat. Passive Solar Heating. This along with good insulation can radically reduce heating costs which as we all know in this part of the world, especially in Erris (Not quite cold enough to kill you quick but cold and damp enough to be extremely uncomfortable without good heating) are a priority.
But you're a builder you know all this, you were probably just going on about cutting down trees and smog and smoke to get a rise out of me.
Caught bang to rights. But i know that you understand that these points will be used by the media and politicians who's interests lie in the multi-nationals. personally I would like to see all new houses fitted with solar panels and wind generators. Also a guttering system that ensures that the rain water is stored and filtered to be used for washing machines and flushing the loo. I also feel that the old housing stock willl have to make way for new. Old houses are not energy efficient enough for todays and the future energy demands. They leak heat like a sieve, high ceilings and VS windows are a nice feature but suck up energy like there is no tomorrow. That is why the designing of the housing stock needs to be given a thorough overhaul. If you were to make houses self sufficient in energy then you would remove the need for the fossil fuels to be used on such a wide scale. You would also be creating new industries that would be producing the panels, turbines and storage cells required for such a project, and the long term maintainence and replacement of these would lead to even more jobs in the sustainable energy project. It would also encourage more people to be more conservative (i hate that word) in their energy use, they would be more likely to turn off appliances when they are not in use or not needed.
This unfortunately is something that cannot be achieved overnight, it needs planning and a determination by the people that will benefit from it. It will also loosen the hold that the multi-nationals have on the public, they will not be able to cut off supplies or hold a country to ransom with threats of power outages or blackouts. This will be the major battle as it also weakens the states hold on the masses, something they already realise which is why they are always dragging their heels when it comes to this question. How can they tax something they have no control over. Energy is a money spinner and they will fight tooth and nail to stop or hinder any development which threatens there cosy little clubs. So lets see some movement on this and start chipping away at the state and put the 'POWER' back where it belongs. In the hands of the people.
This is just one part of the overall problem and covers just a small part of the overall struggle. It does not cover industry and other big energy users but i see it as a start for the common good of the people.
And thanks for the xmas dinner pooka.
