From me, in The Skeptic.
BBC Future ran an article which supposedly looked at the science behind cold remedies, but sadly the research they cite doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Joe Rogan claims the U.S. spent $27 million on ‘gift bags’ for undocumented immigrants. We take a closer look at the facts: food, school supplies, and resources to help migrants build stable lives in their home countries—something Joe himself says he supports. So why does he make it sound so absurd?

Absolutely embarrassing from @liverpoolecho.co.uk: “I went to see Sally Morgan and watched people moved to tears”.
If you wanted to know how her show works, and why it’s awful advice to tell people to try it out, we’ve been doing the work for 15 years.

Like all decent upstanding Telegraph readers , I am disgusted that President Trump was ambushed by a request to be merciful - mercy and kindness and care are not Christian values but the values of perverts , freaks and beatniks
