@afneil Scotland are on a hiding to nothing...worth watching...55 mins in.... youtube.com/watch?v=DtJG6X…

Ed Miliband’s Clean Power 2030 plan is officially off the rails. Soaring costs, missed wind & solar targets, and now Drax walking away from BECCS. The promises of cheaper bills? Gone. A thread 🧵(1/12)

The cholesterol appointment, translated. The director's cut. "Your cholesterol is a little high." Your cholesterol has crossed a line drawn by a committee, a line that has quietly crept lower every few years, always just as a new drug needs a new market. "We like to be proactive here." I have four minutes, a prescription pad, and a target someone above me would dearly like me to hit. "It's just a precaution." We are treating a thing you do not have, to prevent a thing you probably won't get, with a tablet you'll take every day until something entirely unrelated finishes the job. "The benefits are well established." In men who had already had a heart attack. You haven't. But the leaflet is printed and the afternoon is long. "Diet and exercise first, naturally." He says, already writing the prescription. "Most people tolerate it well." And when the aching legs and the brain fog arrive, we'll have a lovely long chat about how you're simply not as young as you were. "Let's just get that number down." Let's. The number is the patient now. You're the cardboard box it was delivered in. "See you in a year." By which point you'll have completely forgotten you walked in here feeling perfectly well.

Worth a watch if you have an hour or so to spare...especially Net Zero fanatics and the SNP..😏 youtu.be/DtJG6Xr3za4

If you were a child between 1970 and 1990, you grew up standing right on the hinge, and you can remember both sides of it. You remember the cream sitting at the top of the milk, the liver on a Thursday, the dripping set hard in the chip pan, the joint that quietly fed a week, the egg they put on a poster and told you to go to work on. And you remember the slow business of it all being taken away, food by food, each one with a minister or a doctor or a laughing tin Martian on hand to explain why the old way had been a mistake. You were told it was progress. You were told the science was settled and the matter closed. You were told, in so many words, that your grandmother's kitchen was a health hazard and the future arrived in a packet. Some of it truly was progress. A great deal of it was not. And the quiet, awkward thing that nobody in charge much wants to say out loud is that the people who grew up on the old food, before the swap, are not, on the whole, the ones turning up in the clinics youngest and in the worst repair. You do not have to take all of it back. But you saw both menus with your own eyes, and you are among the last people alive who did. You remember what real food was, because you ate it before they renamed it a risk. Most people now have only ever known the packet. Tell them what the other menu tasted like.

@afneil History will not be kind to this current Labour Government...period

@GHWTowler He's just not "communicating"...he's the only one who believes what he spouts...in his own weird bubble...

@SBarrettBar I think he's been ratioed....😏

In honor of Pride month, here’s a list of countries in the Middle East that recognize same sex marriage: 1. Israel

@afneil UkK Governments worst nightmare...😏

Walk into the cave at Lascaux. The paintings are around seventeen thousand years old, made by people with no writing, no agriculture, and no opinions about cholesterol. Look at what they painted. Aurochs, the enormous wild cattle that stood taller at the shoulder than a man. Horses. Bison. Deer. Great heavy-bodied animals laid down in ochre and charcoal across the ceiling by people lying on their backs in the dark, holding a light up with one hand and painting with the other, because this mattered to them more than comfort did. Now count the paintings of grain. Count the lovingly rendered root vegetables. The heroic turnip. The sacred bowl of lentils. You will be counting for some time. The people of Lascaux painted what they revered, and what they revered was the animal. The animal was food, clothing, tools, sinew, fat, marrow, and the difference between surviving the winter and not. They did not paint a balanced plate. They painted the thing that kept them alive, over and over, for generations, in the most important room they had. Seventeen thousand years later their descendants would be told that the animal was the problem, and that the road to health ran through the field of grain the cave painters never once thought worth drawing. The oldest art we have is a menu. It is not a subtle one.

»Eine neue Studie der Technischen Universität Athen stellt die Klimawissenschaft auf den Kopf. Sie zeigt: In den letzten 40 Jahren hat sich die isotopische Signatur des atmosphärischen CO2 nicht verändert – menschliche Emissionen sind schlicht nicht erkennbar. Damit wird die Grundannahme der UNO und des IPCC, wonach fossile Brennstoffe die Hauptursache des Klimawandels seien, fundamental infrage gestellt. Seit Jahrzehnten predigen die Hohepriester des Weltklimarats (IPCC), dass die Menschheit durch ihre fossilen Emissionen das Klima der Erde ins Wanken bringe. Das Mantra lautet: Mehr CO2 in der Luft, mehr Hitze auf dem Planeten, mehr Katastrophen vor unserer Haustür. Doch eine neue Studie aus Griechenland zerschmettert dieses Glaubensgebäude – und das mit nüchternen, überprüfbaren Daten. Demnach hat sich die isotopische Signatur des atmosphärischen CO₂ in den letzten 40 Jahren nicht im Geringsten verändert. Mit anderen Worten: Es gibt keine Spur fossiler Brennstoffe in unserer Luft. Der Mensch ist im atmosphärischen Kohlenstoffkreislauf schlicht nicht erkennbar.« 👇🏻 Mehr dazu: report24.news/co2-signatur-s…

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.

Chloe got a cat in October. She named him Mungo. Mungo is, by Chloe's own description, the love of her life. This morning Chloe is concerned about Mungo. 7:30am - Breakfast. Chloe's: overnight oats. Mungo's: a plant-based cat food that arrived in compostable packaging and costs
