I've recently come across the phrase "smart phones are experience blockers".
This means we get a hit from a smart phone and that's enough. It takes our motivation so we don't to venture out or try new things. The less we venture out, the less we want to.
Put it down, go outside!

The UK debt is massive. Interest rates are still at 4.5%. That's what the government is being charged on their loans.
Its set by the Bank of England.
There's going to be more austerity to bring the debt down.

I subscribe to the idea of cancer as a metabolic disease championed by Prof Thomas Seyfried. Highly processed carbs serve as cancer cell fuel via fermentation. Limiting empty carb intake reduces available fuel for cancer growth esp for non-blood cancers.

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.
Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.
