Not usually on here to be a beg but…

My family’s business is raising money to install a defibrillator in Codsall, and are looking for raffle prizes.

If any of my contacts on here would be willing to donate anything - it would be hugely appreciated 🫶

Incredible how every “pro-life” policy actually leads to a large amount of unnecessary death.

And there we have it
The man who has not bothered to vote in Parliament since March 18th
The man who has essentially disappeared from view for 3 weeks - terrified of questions
Puts on a performative political act for the camera's at 12.26pm
By 3.26pm he is off in a swanky club - so the Parliament appearance as ever was pure show for the camera's as he knew his Party had a question

Scotland play Israel this week. Today Israeli authorities have abducted two members of the Palestine women's national team.

When will it be enough for the Scottish FA/UEFA/FIFA to take a stand?

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

The prospect of Reform in charge of our NHS is truly terrifying.

Not only do they want to introduce a US style charging system, they don't understand basic evidence.

This is what a holocaust looks like.

This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer.

Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

DO NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS. HOLY SHIT.

The biggest part of this rape story by gypsy boys in the UK was completely overlooked.

Two attacks by three boys from the “traveller community” (aged 13-14):

1. In November 2024, a 15 year old girl arranged to meet a boy for a date. Or so she thought. The girl was ambushed and raped three times. The assault was filmed and video shared on social media, showing the boys laughing as they raped her.

2. On January 17, 2025 a 14 year old girl (“Olivia”) was threatened with a knife, taken to a field in Fordingbridge and overpowered by a groups of boys. One boy raped her while it was recorded.

They were convicted of 10 rape charges at Southampton Crown Court and in May 2026 they were sentenced to Youth Rehabilitation Orders (otherwise known as counselling) and walked free from the court.

They had to pay the standard £26 surcharge.

This case was talked about this week because of the surcharge (standard in all cases)) but there is a far bigger issue that was not mentioned.

One of the boys had been reported multiple times for sexual assaults and rape from the age of 10. He was still at primary school and raping girls.

There was another rape report about him just 10 days before the first attack above.

And yet, there was no custodial sentence given. Why not? What does a boy have to do to get more than a slap on the wrist in the UK?

Judge Nicholas Rowland said he wanted to “avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily” but why? They are criminals. If they are old enough to rape then they are old enough to face the consequences.

MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”

The government stalled.

Now the victims are doing it themselves.

"She deserves this more than any one of us." 🗣️

Two special players in the group that will be remembered as promotion winners 🫶

[Wolves Women FC @WolvesWomen]

@_JadeCross Both Jade and her twin sister Emma - who retired at the end of last season - were presented with shirts by Dan McNamara at our promotion celebration evening.

The Cross name will forever be synonymous with the successes of Wolves Women 💛

[Wolves Women FC @WolvesWomen]

314 appearances. 178 goals 👏

Jade Cross has announced her retirement from football, bringing the curtain down on an extraordinary career in Old Gold that established her as one of the greatest players in the history of women’s football in Wolverhampton.

Thank you, Jade 💛

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke.

Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics.

And it told patients to see a specialist.

The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it?

She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility.

Then she waited.

She did not have to wait long.

By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness.

One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist.

Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it.

They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation.

Then it got worse.

Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources.

A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record.

It was only retracted after the hoax became public.

Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates.

Here is the scale of what this means.

More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions.

Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026.

An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information.

Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day.

Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything.

The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot?

The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level.

It was designed to be caught.

It was not caught.

The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule.

40 million people. Every day.

And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong.
