So when bands get old they decide to go to Las Vegas? Here's the B52s.....

1900: The egg is described in nutrition texts as nature's most complete food. Doctors recommend it for invalids, infants, and the elderly. A growing child is given one or two a day. A working man eats four for breakfast. 1950: The egg is implicated in a hypothesis about cholesterol and heart disease. The hypothesis is unproven. The egg is told it must wait. 1968: The American Heart Association issues an official recommendation to limit egg consumption to three per week. The recommendation is based on a single observational study and the personal opinion of Ancel Keys. 1973: The first egg-substitute product is launched. It is composed of egg whites with added preservatives, gums, and synthetic colour. It is sold as the heart-healthy alternative to the egg, which has been on the human breakfast table for ten thousand years. 1980 to 2010: The British and American populations consume billions of fewer eggs per year than they did in 1950. Cardiovascular disease continues to rise. Obesity rises sharply. Type 2 diabetes triples. 2015: The United States Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, after reviewing the entirety of the available evidence, removes the recommendation to limit dietary cholesterol. The egg is, the committee states, no longer a nutrient of concern. 2025: The egg is back in fashion. The egg is on the breakfast menu of the trendy restaurant. The egg is in the protein-focused cookbook. The egg is in the influencer's morning routine. During the fifty-five years the egg was banned, the egg did not change. The egg has been the egg the entire time. The advice has changed. The egg has not. The advice was wrong. Nobody has apologised. The grandmothers who kept feeding their grandchildren eggs through the entire 1980s, against the explicit advice of every health authority in the Western world, were correct. The grandmothers should be on the committee.

I disagree. It isn’t going to happen. And when it doesn’t, don’t you think you might want a Plan B? Or is it all-in with ‘Get rid of all the ethnics and then Britain will be lovely again’? Is that the plan?

Interesting data from France. France does not collect data on the ethnic or ancestral composition of its population. However, for a period, newborns were evaluated for sickle cell risk under a targeted screening programme. Medical staff assessed whether at least one parent had ancestry from an at-risk region (which means places like Africa, the Middle East, South America, and more.) This data provides a rough proxy for demographic change in France. The regional breakdown goes back to 2010. Already then, a large share of newborns were identified as having at-risk ancestry. By 2023, the national figure had risen to 50%, with every region showing substantial increases. The programme was replaced by universal screening in 2024.
