Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
As a man, a dad, and someone who actually gives a damn about protecting women and girls , I’m done watching politicians like @AndyBurnhamGM
play Russian roulette with female safety for the sake of self-ID ideology.
Andy: How many women and girls have to be assaulted, raped, flashed, filmed, or intimidated in toilets, changing rooms, prisons, sports, or refuges before you stop prioritising men in dresses over actual women?
Male pattern crime doesn’t disappear because a bloke says he’s a woman. Ministry of Justice stats prove it: 70% of trans women (biological males) in prison have sexual offence convictions that’s 20 times higher than female prisoners.
Yet you’ve backed self-ID, opposed the Supreme Court’s clear ruling on biological sex, and dismissed women’s safety concerns as “culture wars.”
This isn’t “inclusion.” It’s betrayal.
Women aren’t “bigots” for wanting single-sex spaces. They’re just trying to stay safe. And every time you let a male-bodied offender into female only areas, you’re telling half the population their safety is negotiable.
I stand with women. Real women. Biological women.
No more sacrificing girls’ safety for feelings.
Women and girls first. Always.
We now know Andy Burnham:
-Provided £100,000 of taxpayer’s money to fund a group that helped children get puberty blockers
-Believes men should have access to women’s toilets
-Criticised the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex
Labour pose a danger to women and children.
#OTD 1883. Clement Attlee born in Putney
On his 80th birthday in 1963 he sat down with ITV to reflect on the state of the world
He argued that Britain could not be isolated on defence - but warned against joining a European Union which was a “dictatorship of civil servants”.
