But James it’s not like the UK doesn’t have spare money for things like this. It’s not like we have the highest national debt and tax burden since WW2, or like borrowing costs are the highest for nearly 40 years, or that we’re teetering on the brink of recession with baked in inflation in the pipeline……oh wait 🤦🏻♂️

@jac_mac91 @DrNeilStone Fair point, not the same in the entire U.K.

@SPCB12345 @DrNeilStone Your statement is also not completely true. All medication is completely free for everyone Scotland along with personal care for elderly and others who require it. Also free is IVF and long-term rehabilitation after injury, stroke MS, or transverse myelitus

All these things are free the UK

If COVID shots were given away for free because they "saved lives", why isnt insulin given away for free? Or chemotherapy? Or EpiPens?

@simonmaechling Agreed, but let’s also agree to normalise it with out fear or favour so it applies equally. So, as well as internet ‘lies’, let’s call out the lies of:
Politicians
Legacy media
Celebrity ‘experts’
Made up language
Rewritten history

@RaminNasibov The probability of everything being random chance is 1 in 10^126.
To put that in perspective it’s slightly worse odds than filling the universe up with ping pong balls and randomly picking a specific one.
So I would say the answer is yes

@davidicke I started listening to your book (the Roadmap) in the car this morning, it’s my second time listening to it as there is loads to take in.
So that’s the second time I’ve heard that quote in three hours. Little bit of synchronicity perhaps

I’m assuming that graph is from from 2022 as it aligns with my own interpretation from the UKHSA data.
The problem is that it seemed to prevent some mortality and severe disease up until May that year; after that there really aren’t any statistically significant differences. Additionally data from the ONS in conjunction with that from the UKHSA shows worse mortality (for all causes) in all cohorts among the vaccinated, particularly those who had one dose.
The other problem is that it was authorised for emergency use only - it’s still being offered, where’s the emergency?
However, the biggest crime (and I choose my words carefully) was offering it to healthy children, particularly those who were previously infected.
So, while some benefits may have existed for a few months (four years ago) ultimately the whole thing is essentially a toxic mix of medicine, politics and corporate greed.
I particularly look forward to the day when those that put healthy children in harms way for the sake of money or their careers are held accountable. That day will come Neil.

I hope @elonmusk is correct - I’m from the UK, we have the highest tax burden and national debt since WW2, and the highest borrowing costs for nearly 40 years while we’re on the brink of sky rocketing inflation and recession. Most are living from pay cheque to pay cheque and are nowhere close to saving for retirement.
Add to this a declining birth rate, a ballooning elderly population, and a growing list of those with chronic illnesses - all of whom will need supporting.
It’s clear to see we’re in real trouble, and I don’t think any other western nations are doing much better.
Something has to give.

Elon Musk said saving for retirement becomes pointless in 10 to 20 years. Not speculation. Math.
Musk: “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement in like ten or 20 years. It won’t matter.”
We passed the event horizon. Retirement savings assumes scarcity persists. It won’t. AI and robotics collapse labor costs to zero. Living costs follow. You’re not saving for security. You’re saving for a world that stops existing.
Musk: “If any of the things that we’ve said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.”

@BasilTheGreat This week I’ve learned that the Starmer has the power to make public justice private, and parliament vote in his favour. (Read Ukraine rent boys and Mandleson) Both for the sole purpose of protecting him.

It’s unsustainable economically, especially when we’re starting from a position of the highest debt and taxation since WW2.
It’s unsustainable socially, especially when we’re starting from a position of autism rates at circa 1 in 30 and climbing, along with sky rocketing chronic illnesses.
It’s unsustainable demographically, especially when we’re starting from a position of societal polarisation like we’ve never seen before.
The future will be extremely bleak, does that answer you question?

I have to say I’m quite perplexed as to some of the replies to my earlier post - I asked if there is a day to celebrate the contribution white heterosexual men have made to the city of London.
I’ve had many replies (some laced with insults from the usual hateful leftists) stating that it’s ’every single day’.
Is it? Where are the flags? Where are the celebrations? Where are the mentions from the politicians? I don’t see any of those things so I’ll ask the question again.
Seems to me a lot of people didn’t understand my comment.

@happyBrit17 The only reason they can do it (and other things) is because of a compliant and subordinate population.
Nobody rules if nobody obeys, sadly the opposite is also true

From a hyper-rational point of view we need life expectancy to be lower, unless medicine can find a way to keep people economically active. Especially in light of the declining birth rate.
In 20 years I’ll be in my 70’s and probably economically inactive, when my money runs out I will contribute little and will need younger generations to to support me.
High life expectancy and our current economic model are incompatible. We need to solve this problem urgently.

Few signs of human progress are as astonishing as our longer lives. In just a century, we have doubled our life expectancy as a species.
