Around 2.3 million people in the UK are living with CHD (the main condition leading to stents). Many of these will have had PCI/stents. If you know anybody with a stent please tell them to avoid products containing Folic Acid to avoid having to have another stent.

Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History 🚁
A Ryanair Short Sunderland airliner flying boat making a rare appearance at London Gatwick!🧐 The aircraft, now owned by Kermit Weeks and kept in Florida, was briefly 'sponsored' by the (then fledgling) budget airline for promotional flights. Thankfully, it didn't land at LGW!😂

I don't eat supermarket bread, or much bread at all, but that's not the point. Flour is in lots of products. It's hard even to buy unfortified flour to make your own bread. If we don't stop the government adulterating flour, next they will come for rice, potatoes, dairy, meat and fish.

More everyday food items with added folic acid, whether you want it or not.

@bobwillisfund please tell your followers about the dangers of FolicAcid which is now being added to white flour to those that have cancer. It accelerates tumour growth!

My blood pressure was between 120/70 and 130/70 for most of my adult life My doctor never mentioned it. It was normal. Then in 2017, the ACC and AHA lowered the threshold for hypertension from 140 to 130. Overnight, 31 million Americans became "hypertensive." I was one of them. Same blood pressure. New diagnosis. But instead of taking a pill, I asked a question nobody asked me: why is this number where it is? Here is what I found: insulin is a sodium retention hormone. When you are insulin resistant, your pancreas pumps out more insulin to force glucose into your cells. That excess insulin tells your kidneys to hold onto sodium and water. Blood volume rises. Pressure rises. It's not the salt on your food. It's the insulin in your blood. I fixed the insulin resistance. I changed what I ate. I moved my body. I never cut salt. I never took a pill. My blood pressure today is 112/60. The number didn't fall because I treated it. It fell because I removed the cause. Here is everything they never told you. 🧵

Irony of ironies, spelt flour and wholemeal flour are both exempt from the mandatory addition of folic acid, but these @Morrisons loaves still contain it. I guess it's just easier and cheaper. For Morrisons. Not if you have a stent, or cancer, or are a man.

Doesn’t do any good for those with heart stents or pernicious anaemia! Any comments? @CMO_England

Fun fact: most helicopters & turboprop aircraft have “Chip Detectors”. They are elegantly simple… Magnets are installed along the oil line or gearbox. As little pieces of the engine break off, oil carries them around. As they pass by the magnets, the magnets collect them. If they collect enough, it creates a circuit, which turns on a light in the cockpit. The light is basically a “your gearbox / engine has begun disassembling itself in earnest & landing immediately would be wise” indicator. (I don’t know if that’s what happened here, could be other causes, but I always think of a chip light when I see this) For jets & piston aircraft, they’ll take samples of the oil periodically as part of maintenance & look for metal bits. Metal bits are not a good sign.

@neso_energy and @FintanSlye_neso continue to astonish with their sheer ineptitude You know you have multiple whistleblowers yet you think nothing of spouting such nonsense knowing there's a good chance the whistleblowers will repeat it because their concern appears to be that NESO management is more focused on PR than running the grid securely How stupid do you have to be to keep blatantly doing the thing the whistleblowers were complaining about in the first place? In any case, @ofgem has just announced it's going to investigate system security over the late June period, so let's see if Ofgem agrees that cutting exports to the Netherlands without their prior knowledge or consent is consistent with safe operation of the grid Let's see if that aligns with agreed operational procedures NESO already admitted yesterday that Corporate Affairs WAS involved in operational decisions. It said this made no difference, but admitted the media team wasn't just informed about operational decisions, it had "input" into them How is THAT acceptable? What exactly does the PR team contribute to operational decision making? Are these people trained engineers? I doubt it so what do they contribute to these decisions? I agree with @ClaireCoutinho that the control room staff do a vital job, and they do it well with outdated tools and apparently an unsupportive management. That they have kept the lights on despite demand forecasting that's a joke in the industry is amazing But if the system is insecure this luck won't last. In a rapidly evolving grid, increasing parts of which the control room can't even see or communicate with this luck is likely to run out I have written time and again of the problems... * demand forecasting models not updated in "10-20 years" * balancing tools (SORT) written in the 1980s, a literal relic of privatisation. A 2009 project to replace it was scrapped in 2024 * increasing amounts of solar and batteries on the low voltage grid which NESO cannot see or control... It has to try and guess what it's doing * tens of thousands of balancing actions being taken per day when the automated tools that communicate these to power station control rooms (EDL/EDT) is also old and prone to outages. When it's offline instructions are made by phone... Imagine trying to instruct thousands of batteries by phone in real time when you have maybe 20 people in the control room! Several people in the NESO control room have clearly decided the risks are so high they have gone outside all internal process and blown the whistle to the Shadow Secretary of State The response of NESO, @Ed_Miliband and @mgshanks validates their approach Claire Coutinho has promised not to let this go, as has @TiceRichard who also wrote to NESO with concerns about grid safety last month @ofgem has weighed in saying it expects to be kept updated on the progress of the NESO investigation and that it is essential that engineers are able to speak to the external investigators without their managers knowing who said what Otherwise we may find more whistleblowers coming forward NESO and Fintan Slye need to stop fighting the PR battle and start asking why their own engineers think the grid isn't safe Because I'd take the word of a control room engineer who's doing the job every day over the word of the CEO or comms team on engineering matters without any hesitation. The question is, why won't they? @Ed_Miliband @ClaireCoutinho @AndrewBowie_MP @griffitha @NJ_Timothy @TiceRichard @DavidGHFrost @mattwridley @cmackinlay @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @mattotele @jonathan_leake @afneil @ofgem @energygovuk

The control room engineers at the NESO balance Britain’s electricity supply and demand. If they don’t get it right, the lights go out and people die. This is, in part, why I have been approached by multiple whistleblowers from within NESO who are concerned that it is getting harder to keep the lights on in Britain. Few things can be more serious. As we saw in last year’s Iberian blackout, without electricity, people die. The allegations made to me are threefold. First, on 23 June, NESO failed to meet standards on constraints and reserves put in place to prevent blackouts. Second, the Corporate Affairs team interfered with operational decisions, prioritising NESO's reputation over security of supply. And third, operational decisions are being kept in ‘live documents’ with no audit trail, therefore preventing them from being accessed for Freedom of Information requests. It is undeniable that the system is becoming harder to balance. And yet, as of Monday, NESO launched an investigation into allegations of bad record-keeping and interference from their PR team, but it will not include whether control room operators think the system is being run securely. I understand that at an all-staff meeting yesterday, Fintan Slye, NESO’s Chief Executive, said “my” allegations were false. The problem is that these are not my allegations – they are the allegations of his own staff. If this remark was indeed said, it would be an extraordinary prejudgment of the whistleblowers’ concerns and would potentially deter other people from coming forward. Ed Miliband and his ministers, in a grotesque show of complacency, dismissed me as “scaremongering”. Ofgem, the regulator responsible for monitoring NESO, are seemingly fine taking a backseat role. As for NESO, their reaction has been to tell staff, who are so worried they have resorted to whistleblowing, that their concerns are false – rather than to seriously consider whether they have a problem. And who will be to blame if it all goes wrong? I fear in the court of public opinion it will be the control room operators, who do an enormous and increasingly difficult service for our country. That’s why I am fighting their corner now. They deserve to be listened to and to have their worries addressed. I can assure them I will not stop until that happens.

The claim about 2,700 deaths comes from a study by @imperialcollege, which didn’t count any actual deaths. It was statistical modelling which tried to estimate the number of deaths which 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 have occurred during the heatwave, based on temperatures recorded over the past weeks and patterns of excess mortality seen during previous hot spells. #NetZeroScam newspaper.mailplus.co.uk/data/8077/read…

Any response? @Tesco @CMO_England please see @ClareCraigPath and her petition that will show you we DO NOT CONSENT! And we will do everything we can to not buy these products.

So @Tesco why are you adding FOLIC ACID to your allegedly 'finest' WHOLEMEAL bread? A: FA is exempt in wholemeal & B: it actively fuels cancer, plus a whole host of people have to actively try & avoid it as advised by NHS. As a CANCER patient, I really would like an answer

@Reeev0 @ProstateUK Absolutely. ALL cancer patients need to be made aware as a matter of urgency. No GOV announcement, just quietly adding folic acid to a huge range of foods. What if a person has an undiagnosed tumour? they're slowing building excess FA in their blood & the tumour grows faster

BP has revealed a fresh £750m hit from its botched net zero strategy, just days after its new chief executive promised to restore stability to the embattled oil giant. The FTSE 100-listed company has been seeking to unwind a green energy strategy set out in 2020 under its former chief executive, to cut fossil fuel production and reach net zero emissions by 2050, following a backlash from shareholders. #CostOfNetZero
