Section of White Cliffs of Dover Collapses Into the Sea
msn ^ | 1-5-2021 | None

A man fishing near Samphire Hoe captured a video of a section of the White Cliffs of Dover collapsing into the sea on February 3. Dennis McIntyre took the video and shared the footage on Facebook. He stated he saw pieces of debris and dust falling when he started recording, then he heard cracking sounds like an explosion as the collapsed pieces of chalk and flint hit the water. Councillor Steve Albon from the Thanet District Council urged the public, “Please use common sense and caution – stay away from the edge and base of cliffs at all times and pay attention to any warning signs and safety messages.”

The only question is was it caused by:

1. global warming
2. COVID-19
3. Trump's fault

Pretty much a metaphor for what has become of Britain.

I’m sure there are plenty of people out there blaming glo-bull warming. Because these cliffs have never done this before, due to any kind of weather or natural phenomenon ever, before man-made globull warming.

It’s also probably how they stay white with weathering and all.

So ... white supremacy wins again!

“1. global warming
2. COVID-19...”

All of these things, among numerous others such as the likely CTU strike in Chicago and the hapless distribution of vaccine in Illinois, described by the Chigago Tribune (yes, the Tribune) as like the Hunger Games, are Trump’s fault.

Well, that will raise the sea level to a point that the GoreBull warming crowd will scream.

Just the natural action of the waves against the cliffs, but that is too simple for the globull folks to understand or accept. Go further south along the channel coast of England and the harbor entrance at Hastings that existed in 1066 and for several hundred years before that was silted over by a series of storms a couple of hundred years after William the Conqueror landed there, thus making modern day folks, with no sense of history or geology, wonder why he chose to land on a strip of beach with no harbor. The ancient harbor is now the marsh lands to the west current coast line/closed harbor entrance.
