I’ve just read that as of today a whole
Set of categories of Pornography have been made illegal. If facesitting is your thing you’re in trouble 🤣
However, one of those categories is family based porn, step family porn etc. which to an extent I agree with, it’s beyond weird. However it is in the fantasy world.
But what is unexplainable about the government stance is that fantasising about a step relative can now get you 2-5 yrs in prison for even possessing it. Yet cousin marriage, often resulting in disabled and very disadvantaged children is not just legal but the government won’t even discuss the idea of banning it. Explain how the hell those two things sit side by side. One is so wrong that simply thinking about it gets you banged up, the other VERY similar activity is fully sanctioned by the state. Go figure.
Statins delay death by only a few days, on average, in the trials that tested them.
These drugs are widely prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol and to reduce the chance of a heart attack or stroke. Yet for most people taking them, the absolute benefit is small, and the outcome that matters most, living longer, is where the trial data are thinnest.
A review of 11 large statin trials measured the average delay in death over two to six years of treatment. In people who had not yet had a heart attack or stroke, death was delayed by only a few days. In people who already had heart disease, the median was 4.1 days, and some trials showed slightly shorter survival on the drug. And that is an average, so many people gained nothing at all.
Muscle symptoms are commonly reported by people taking these drugs. In an observational study of people on high-dose statin therapy, about 1 in 10 reported muscle symptoms, and some surveys put that share closer to 1 in 4.
In a large observational study of more than 150,000 postmenopausal women, statin use was linked to a 48% higher risk of developing diabetes. In a two-month controlled trial, atorvastatin raised fasting insulin by 25% to 45%.
A person weighing a few extra days of life against muscle pain and a higher diabetes risk deserves to see those numbers side by side.
Michelle Dewberry is one of very few TV presenters who stands up for the natives:
“I think it's a very strange notion, sorry, that anyone can just identify as being English.”
Tory panellist Louise Mensch: “Rishi Sunak was born in Southampton, he’s as English as I am.”
Many people think Poland was created in 1918, like Estonia, Latvia & Czechoslovakia
In fact Poland is, like England, over 1000 yrs old
In the 16thC the Polish-Lithuanian union was the largest country in Europe
No European country's borders have changed more dramatically or tragically than Poland's
Having saved central Europe from Islamic conquest at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (where my ancestor was commander-in-chief of Polish forces, incidentally), Poland was rewarded by disappearing completely from the map just a century later.
The very qualities that made England a liberal democracy (weak monarchy, strong aristocracy and Parliament) resulted in Poland being gobbled up by Prussia, Russia, and Austria in 1795
The difference? England was the big power on a secure island. Poland was a country with no geographic defences.
Had Poland been an island, it may well have followed in England's wake.
The result of Poland's unparalleled shifting borders is that the country which was once arguably Europe's most diverse, is now Europe's most homogenous.
At its peak in the 17th century, ethnic Poles accounted for only about 40% to 50% of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Now, according to Poland's last national census, roughly 97.6% to 98.6% of registered residents are ethnic Poles
This video shows why the Poles today are so patriotic - and so determined to preserve their culture, heritage and identity.
The Poles know what it is to lose one's nation. After disappearing from the map altogether in the 18th century, under the 20th century communist jackboot their history and heroes were denigrated and rewritten, their achievements denied, their statues pulled down, their national symbols erased.
No surprise, therefore, that it has taken such a hard line against woke and immigration.
Poland once looked to Britain for inspiration.
Can Britain now learn from Poland?
He’s so right. and it is a genuine feeling of sadness and loss. And I’m sad not just for the city, the country that it feels like I have lost. I’m equally sad for my two young sons who are now young men and who will never experience the complete freedom that we once had.
Laurence Fox says the London he grew up in no longer exists.
He remembers living with his first girlfriend on in Bethnal Green. To him, the city felt completely different from the London he sees today.
He says the change is not only about crime statistics. It is also about the harder-to-measure feeling that the culture of your home has changed around you.
He thinks people are now afraid to admit they feel sad about that.
“My home is different and this is my only home. I’ve got nowhere else to go.”
Fox says there are things he likes about immigration and doesn’t pretend every change has been negative.
But he says that does not stop him missing the London he remembers.
He points to ordinary things that now feel different to him. Supermarkets with security guards. Large protective screens. A city that, in his view, no longer feels like the one he grew up walking around.
And he thinks younger Londoners may never understand that sense of loss because they never knew the city before it changed.
Is missing the culture of the place you grew up in simply nostalgia, or should people be allowed to say something has genuinely been lost?
The great replacement…..just using the phrase gets you labelled with the entire list of tags that the establishment always throw at us.
But it’s absolutely 100% real, and it’s happening in real time at an incredibly fast pace. Here are the ACTUAL figures, (courtesy of @SimonElmer2022 who did the brilliant research) and not the “NET” figures which the government are using to gaslight us all. These figures are stunningly shocking. The sheer volume of people who have arrived in just the last 6 yrs since Covid is crazy, three quarters of whom are from sub Saharan Africa or South Asia, and equally concerning is the number of Brits leaving, 600k+ since Covid and 2.2million in the last 14 yrs.
If you are swapping out huge numbers of indigenous citizens for even larger, massive numbers of people from what’s loosely called the third world….what else can that be described as other than replacement. The stats don’t lie.
We're here on the ground at Poland's Independence Day march, where hundreds of thousands of patriots are proudly celebrating their country.
The UK should be more like Poland.
It was NEVER a debate. He was always a thousand times better than Sanchez. If he was playing now as he did in this game and so many others he’d be the best player in the premier league by an absolute distance.
This morning I was told of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Danny Kelly. The tributes to him in the coming days from those who knew him and worked with him will give you an idea of how much he was loved.
I loved him too. Very much so. A man who I called "Dad" on air because I wished he was. I hope you give me a few minutes to read my thoughts, and I hope they do you justice, Dan.
By 2008 I was a mess. I would sleep 18 hours a day, the other 6 mostly wanting to die. Once or twice a week I would open my laptop, organise football tabs, gossip and news as prep for jobs in broadcasting that I knew would never come, "just in case". When hope dies, we die, after all.
Then Danny Kelly came into my life.
I was driving out of London having been to see a psychiatrist about the state I was in and had BBC London on the radio. Danny was presenting with a guest, reviewing books. My name came up in the conversation, so I called in.
We hit it off straight away, talked about football for what seemed like forever but was probably a standard 10-12 minute section. But for me it sparked a temporary respite from sleep and chronic mental health issues and even for that I was grateful.
A couple of years later Danny joined talkSPORT to do the 7-10pm slot through the week. He told me he was offered a few co-presenters but he remembered that conversation we had and he wanted me to do it.
A lifeline of work, passionately talking about our sport, having fun and feeling a value as a human again. Something lost for 7 long years.
Danny gifted me that. Without that I know I wouldn't be writing this today.
"Always fresh, never frozen" was the tagline in a Domino's read we had to do in the show, something we'd instinctively greet each other with until our last meeting, in a pub, broadcasting for talkSPORT around 3 years ago. I didn't know that time would be the last, but perhaps fittingly we hugged as I left, I'm glad I did.
The shows were loved. They were funny, honest, insightful and I hope, along with Saggers after that, proof that Danny's belief in me was worthy. But to say my love for him was only thanks for a job doesn't even scratch the surface.
His kindness, his phone calls late at night ( Dan was a notorious night owl) of support, his man hugs, his indomitable spirit, his big brain on anything from football to music to geopolitics, his love, as I know many others will testify, came from the biggest of hearts and the biggest of souls housed in a giant of a man in every sense.
Dan, thank you, thank you for the kindness, the fun, the hope, the support and for being someone to look up to and aspire to be.
I love you very much, I know I'll hug you again some day. Thank you for everything.
"I love football Stan, I love it ".
Brent has fallen to $91.49 and briefly dipped below $90. Petrol is finally coming down, but diesel has barely moved. #FairFuelUK says Britain’s drivers need at least 10p off at the pumps as falling costs feed through, with diesel falling significantly further where wholesale prices justify it
