@BBCNews If there's any integrity in football, the US coach should not pick Balogun, and if he does Balogun should stand down. Its unfair on Balogun to be put in this position. This will stain his career and legacy

@CHinchliffMP Dear Chris, you are off your head. What are you smoking?

@wattsupwiththat Why are they showing Europe in F?

@SaiKate108 @ClareCraigPath I'm just sick of politicians forcing momentous decisions on the public without having a clue of the ramifications. And this ranks amongst the most stupid. It's actually in NHS publications about the dangers of folic acid.FFS!

@BBCNews They don't seem to have children. I have children and grandchildren and no money. I could have been a millionaire without them, but in reality, I'm richer.

@ClareCraigPath From what I've read, the best way to prevent testicular and prostate cancer is to ejaculate twice a week, even for older men

The most metabolically ill country on Earth has a control group living right inside it, and the results are deeply inconvenient.

The Amish eat butter, lard, eggs, meat, and raw milk straight from their own cows, by the bucket. They cook in animal fat. They eat the saturated fat the rest of us were told to fear for fifty years. Their obesity rate sits around 4%. The country around them is closing on 40%, four in ten adults. Ten times lower, on the diet that was supposed to be killing them.

They are not dropping from heart attacks at the rate the theory demands either. Their overall cancer rates run lower than the surrounding American population, despite skipping most of the screening that is meant to be saving everyone else.

Now, honesty, because it matters. The Amish are not low-carb. There are pies and bread and plenty of sugar on an Amish table. This is no clean carnivore case, and I will not pretend it is.

What it is, is a controlled experiment sitting in plain sight across Pennsylvania and Ohio. Same country. Same supermarkets down the road. The Amish simply opt out of two things: the ultra-processed food and the sitting still. Their men walk upward of 18,000 steps a day. They eat food their grandmothers would recognise, and they move like their lives depend on it, because for most of history they did.

The animal fat was never what made America sick. The seed oil, the sugar, the packet, and the sofa did that, and the Amish skipped all four. They ran the experiment by accident, by living in the same country as everyone else and politely declining to join in.

@BBCNews Take Denis Law. maybe Scotland's GOAT. The Laws were poor and lived in a council tenement flat. He went barefoot until he was 12 and wore hand me-down shoes throughout his adolescence; his first pair of football boots came as a second hand gift. How they need someone like him!

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@BBCNews Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that most of Scotland's past greats were born into poverty, which perhaps drove them on to beat the odds?

@TonyClimate What shame. Went there as a tourist in the 90s. Had a boat tour around the lake. Fabulous place

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@DarrenPlymouth No. In my granddaughter's school, they turn them off going in and on when leaving. In today's mad world they need to be able to contact and be contacted by parents. If someone gets attacked as does happen, they need to be able to call for help. Not rocket science

[Toby Rogers @uTobian]

If airplanes had the same safety record as vaccines, no one would fly.

If cars had the same safety record as vaccines, no one would drive.

However because vaccines are inflicted on infants who cannot speak, authorities do nothing and celebrate the harms.

Absolutely diabolical.

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@RupertLowe10 Your last point is the important one. Unless the right; Restore, Advance, Reform, Conservative put aside their petty differences and form a centre right coalition, the nation is going to become the New North Korea in 2029.

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

This is hilarious

@janemilnerbarry If I ever meet a climate change denier, I tell them about how the Ice Ages came and went.

Of course the climate changes.

The deniers are the ones who expect it to stay the same forever.

@curtistmann @ClareCraigPath 80 % of Met Office sites are rated as junk. ie inaccurate.

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@BBCNewsnight @SteveBakerFRSA This is just cherry picking the weakest. Even with it we're the poorest pensioners in the developed world by a big distance because people like Jeremy have spaffed away our decades of contributions on all sorts of expensive rubbish

@Sats_are_my_god @wattsupwiththat Planes don't follow sat nav routes btw

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@Sats_are_my_god @wattsupwiththat As the crow flies, or a plane flies it's more like 500 metres, and that's pretty near at 150 knots

[Robert Goodson @Robstrat27]

@MrPistachi0 @wattsupwiththat Fair point. You wouldn't have felt it whether it was say 24 or 26 degrees, but they're measuring these records by tenths of a degree
