“Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
The British didn’t even have to be fought. They are ponying up the jizya without a fight, and patting themselves on the back as they do so, thoroughly pleased with themselves for saving the planet from the West’s carbon emissions; as China takes over global economic hegemony, its carbon emissions don’t count. The British, as they become an impoverished minority in their own country, can congratulate themselves that they committed economic suicide for the environment, and cultural suicide to prove they weren’t “Islamophobic.” The proof is in! Britain will die with a clear conscience!
“UK to provide £217 million for Turkish solar project,” Gov.uk, November 15, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
The International Trade Secretary has today (Monday, November 15) announced over £217 million worth of government backing for the largest solar facility in Turkey as the UK starts to deliver on pledges made at COP26.
UK Export Finance’s backing for Kalyon Enerji’s 1.35GW Karapinar solar project is the largest-ever guarantee it has provided for a solar project. UKEF’s guarantee will help support over 100 British jobs as the integration of the solar technology and the assembly of the solar power station will occur in the UK.
Equivalent to over 4,600 football pitches in size, the facility will deliver clean electricity to approximately two million Turkish households when completed in late 2022….

It is because Boris Johnson is of Turkish origin and proud. But it is a fault of the naive people who voted him. They wanted fewer immigrants from Europe and they will receive more from Middle East because Johnson is deceiving them and only now they realise. This was approved for certain by Boris Johnson and possibly initiated

Had Jeromy Corbyn won the last election instead of Boris, everything would be going down the gurgler far more faster.
Westman says
Can’t wait to hear, “The Rest Of The Story”, when the project is fully built. If there is an actual ROI for the UK, it would be surprising. Ask the US about ROI from its recent “investments” in Solyndra and the ME.
The Middle East region seems to be, considering the vulnerability of solar arrays, the least safe place for solar power stations. Once Turkey is dependent on such power stations, any new conflict could result in a swarm of drones, like what happened to SA, which will disable its power stations for very long periods. Mortars can also easily disable solar power stations.
Unlike a central gas-fired or nuclear-power plant, solar requires huge acreage, all vulnerable, that is too large to defend. Even defending weapons would pose a hazard to the openly exposed, brittle, solar panels.
Reminds one of that Dr. John song: It was ” …in the right place(for solar), but it must have been the wrong time.”
Of course, any deal with Erdogan is going to turn out poorly.

Well, it just shows when there’s a will, there’s a way. Merely days after that monumentally hypocritical farce and Britain is “delivering on pledges made at COP26”? The ruling Tory party never put this in their election manifesto.
They did the same with protecting revenue streams of all the troughers who benefit from moving the (very unpopular with taxpayers) Foreign Aid money during the pandemic slowdowns.
On the other hand, we waited for 10 years for the “10,000s down from 100,000s” net immigrants a year only to find out the Tories never intended to keep that pledge in the first place. I suppose, the increasing immigration under the Tories outstripping what happened under Labour previously should have been the first clue for us plebs.
Treereen says
Oh, yes, forgot to mention that the “10,000s down from 100,000s” pledge was in the Tories’ election manifesto twice until it was quietly dropped for the last general election.
Infidel says
The Brits actually have that sort of cash ?? Or is it just more debt financing on their end? And if that cash has to go to muslim countries, wouldn’t it be more efficient to give that to more tropical desert countries like Egypt, Sudan, Chad, et al?
tgusa says
I have no doubt that the energy from this solar project will exclude Armenians, Jews and Greeks. It is important that the UK taxpayers help create a clean environment for Turkish discrimination.
Fitna says
They won’t help their own British people, veterans, homeless, etc but they’ll house muslim invaders in posh UK hotels on the taxpayers dime and toss them hundreds of millions for junk they don’t need or could easily pay for themselves.
What is it about Muslim barbarians that causes non-Muslims in the West to lose their mind and give them hordes of cash freely and in the case of Biden, $85 billion in US military cutting edge military hardware, even while they threaten them? Is it some sort of sophisticated “stick-up” that ordinary rational folks can’t see?
OLD GUY says
Why? my guess is somebody in the U.K. is going to make a huge profit.
