On the biggest forum for optoms in the UK theoptom.com, there's currently a discussion about whether the non-optical sections should be removed because the owner recently posted a Russell Brand video which says that there's no evidence that vaccines don't cause autism!

Apparently, the CDC are going to investigate the link between vaccines and autism again. Total waste of resources when it has already been conclusively shown that there is no link.

Stoats ? Vermin . Crows ? Vermin . Birds of prey ?! Still vermin !

The driven grouse shooting industry's obsession with vermin is just one reason why it should end .

The Brexit red bus with "Some of the downsides on trade have been partially offset by increases in migration." Written on the side.

GB News asked Rachel Reeves this morning,"Will you commit to cutting net migration even if it damages economic growth? That trade off there".

Didn't the argument used to be that reducing immigration would boost the economy? And what trade off, reducing the economy in exchange for appeasing racists?

The EU rules on product safety for products imported into the EU (and into Northern Ireland) were tightened on 13 December.

The EU started alerting firms to the change in 2020.

The British government put out some information on 3 December 2024, 10 days before the change.

Since Nigel Farage has just sided with Russia again, and said “the idea Ukraine is going to win, frankly, is for the birds,” it’s time to re-ask those five questions he’s never asked about his support for Vladimir Putin 1/6

If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while.
So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet?
Story here, 🧵 to come:

Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
Some scientists examining mutations found in H5N1 viruses fear major outbreak is imminent but others says pathogen remains unpredictable

Wow. This Boris Johnson column about Gregg Wallace is absolutely wild.
I had the great privilege of spending a Saturday with Gregg Wallace recently. Unfortunately, I had to leave our banter fest early to attend Lord Lebedev of Siberia’s annual festive soiree. So I missed the moment the media began a concerted campaign to discredit the barrow boy turned plucky pudding evaluator. At one point during our game of Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, Gregg turned and looked at me through his full-rimmed Silhouette varifocals: ‘Do middle-class women of a certain age have it in for you?’ he asked probingly as he consolidated Alfred the Great’s victory over the Danelaw at the Battle of Edington. If by ‘women of a certain age’ you mean ‘totty half my own’ then look, I told him, I have always found them very kindly and friendly and polite – until that is, you get one pregnant and they start making ceaseless demands about maintenance and remembering your children’s birthdays, and names and the like. Poor Gregg. This is no misogynist, or hubristic grocer turned gourmet. This is a 60-year-old man who had the sheer guts and resilience to get out there, day in, day out, and eat desserts between Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti while occasionally making a wildly inappropriate comment. Predictably the left-wing establishment are throwing everything at him, including umpteen remarkably similar reports of the same behaviour, in a shameful and counter-productive attempt to keep his working-class palate off our screens. And never has the expression ‘Let he has not ruined everyone else’s deconstructed roast pork belly with chargrilled peach salsa with chauvinistic overtures, cast the first peach stone’ been truer. We are at a crossroads. We can keep going with the hair-shirted miserabilism of women who believe they have some sort of inalienable right to go through life without being demeaned and objectified by their inferiors. Or we can listen to Gregg. Yes, the estuary epicurean is a bit unreconstructed, like those deconstructed Eton Messes he’s sound fond of sampling. But I say, don’t listen to what he says, or the parodies of what he says. Look at what he does. Which is coordinating the Saxon reoccupation of London whilst weathering the Great Heathen Army and increasingly irate calls from his PR team. Gregg is in the shape of his life and he doesn’t mind letting people know it. Will he want to go down as the first factory inspector on the Beeb to be thwarted by women of a certain age? I just can’t see it. The astonishing events of the last week have proved one thing. This man is a supreme competitor. And when the cakes are burned, he remains the only man on national television with the courage and tenacity to keep sampling them.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

The overwhelming majority of farmers will be unaffected by changes to inheritance tax. It's the multi millionaires who saw investing in land as a tax avoidance measure who are the ones complaining. This extract from FT is all you need to read to understand the issue
