Stuff just keep on getting older

🚨NEW: KC Anu Mohindru has been allowed to continue being a barrister despite falsely claiming that he studied medicine at Oxford University and for claiming that he was a qualified doctor. He also claimed that he had played cricket for the Bar, for Lashings Cricket Club and for MCC, and that he was a cricketing blue having represented Oxford in a varsity match against Cambridge. A tribunal disbarred him for telling his 23 Essex Street interviewers a “reckless, foolish and completely unnecessary lie” about studying at Oxford, and because he “doubled down" on his CV. On appeal at the High Court, Mr Justice Johnson overturned  Mohindru's expulsion, stating that it "would be wrong to impose the ultimate sanction merely because dishonesty is present".

I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

🚨🇬🇧 The UK government has responded to the petition regarding folic acid in flour. The UK Government is forcing synthetic folic acid into all non-wholemeal wheat flour from the end of 2026. This affects 70 million people to supposedly prevent just 200 neural tube defect cases a year. It’s not just bread it means almost every everyday product made with white or brown flour: pasta, pizza bases, cakes, biscuits, pastries, pies, crackers, and most processed baked goods. Men and children get zero benefit, yet studies have linked higher folic acid intake to increased prostate cancer risk in men. They’re choosing mass medication of the entire population through our staple foods instead of targeted supplements for women who actually need it. This is being forced on us without real choice. It will appear in the ingredients list, but there’ll be no clear warning on the front of the pack. Natural folate from food is one thing this unnatural synthetic chemical is another. Sign the petition in the comments we need to at least have a debate on this. Please share with as many people as possible.

This is Linton-on-Ouse in England. Population 1200. The British state is planning to dump 3,750 migrants into this village and essentially replace them overnight. Millennia of traditional rural life are about to be wiped out at the altar of open borders.
