NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Miliband wanting to weaponize a few days of sunshine, with stupid claims that \u201cour way of life is under threat\u201d, we might care to look back at the summer of 1911!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CET daily maxes show that the heatwave did not get going until July in 1911, unlike this year\u2019s. But it then dominated British weather until late August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll have to see whether this year does the same. But the cause of the hot weather in 1911 was exactly the same in 1911 as it is this year \u2013 the sun. When the sun shines brightly in summer, and for days on end, the weather tends to be hot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless Miliband has a plan to stop the sun from shining, he should go back to his sixth-form politics, where he can do no more damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
