@TheBookshopMan My mum had a bad night (she would wake me up several times by using her stick on the central pipes, ) After breakfast she looked at me with eyes that suggested she had all her wits about her and sadly said "I'm a bit of a nuisance aren't I".......time for a big hug.

If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone.

1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic.

1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died.

1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later.

1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin.

1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing.

1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page.

1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize.

1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs.

1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level.

1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off.

1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands.

2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks.

Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it.

Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available.

Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked.

So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief.

The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil.

All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.

Frenchay Mysteries No. 25 - https://t.co/1IUGfnLJTI archive https://t.co/eBB3isH2LQ Do you know if there was a bungalow built in the grounds of Riverwood near the road which is now Riverwood Road. Probably the early 1900s?

A cow takes grass (inedible to humans) and produces:

- Meat (complete protein + fats)
- Milk (complete nutrition)
- Leather (clothing, tools)
- Tallow (cooking fat, soap, candles)
- Bones (tools, broth, fertilizer)
- Organs (nutrient-dense food)
- Manure (fertilizer)

This is complete resource utilization from a plant humans cannot eat.

You cannot replicate this with any technology. The cow is performing chemical transformations we cannot industrialize.

Grass → complete human nutrition is alchemy.

The cow is worth more than any machine humans have invented.

It runs on rain and grass. Produces multiple products. Builds soil while operating. Sequesters carbon. Reproduces itself.

And we're told to eliminate them for environmental reasons.

While flying in almonds from California and soy from Brazil.

The stupidity is breathtaking.

This wasn't murder.

Renee's death in Minneapolis is tragic.

But see it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

You can hate ICE.

But blocking officers then speeding off in a 2-ton vehicle with people at your bumper is irrational.

She rolled the dice. Sadly, she died.

Spread the word among farmers: Blair's lead adviser says CLOSE DOWN ALL SMALL FARMERS because they're a political enemy.
RETWEET so farmers hear the Labour plan
The NFU is telling farmers NOT to come to London to demonstrate.
TERRIBLE ADVICE.
I've been in the PM office when demonstrations happen.
a/ Westminster is weak as piss and b/ the MET leadership always fold if numbers are over a threshold - 'we police by consent PM, there's nothing we can do except manage it'
Nutjobs are allowed to call for a second Holocaust waving Hitler photos every every weekend in London, SW1 ignores & doesn't cover in the news, cops just watch.
Farmers shd ignore the NFU and cops - FLOOD THE ZONE, PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE

BREAKING: Florida Surgeon General says a new The Lancet study shows anyone who got the vaccine is more likely to contract Covid•19 than someone who did not get vaccinated. Will the CDC tell you this? No.

[Jessica Rose 🤙 @JesslovesMJK]

This is the Surgeon General of the State of Florida. He is 100% correct in this assessment. It is validated by all the data that has been examined by thousands of people with centuries of combined experience in a plethora of fields - from Virology to Obstetrics.

Jacinda Ardern and the Anti Vaccine

At first you might think that you've seen this one before, but no, you'll find that this is different.

This is the definitive edit, the final cut, I guess you could say.

Retweeting helps.

The American people want leaders who trust them to make up their own minds. Instead, our last two presidents are restricting voters from choosing anyone other than themselves. Presidents Biden and Trump have sucked trillions of dollars from the pockets of working people and Americans deserve to hear from the one candidate who can hold them to account.

@jovanforclacton Oh wow!..@jovanforclacton has a chance of beating Reform!
I'm hoping Greens and Lib-dems will throw their weight behind him.

It's the bigger picture!

One of the main factors that led Kate Harris & me to found LGB Alliance was the finding that most teens seeking “transition” are LGB and none of the “LGBTQ+” orgs - esp Stonewall - would discuss it. Why didn’t they care? Why weren’t they protecting LGB teens from medicalisation?
