I wonder if the baby formula is the one that is being recalled in boots and the supermarkets, by Abbotts foods (in Michigan I think) in connection with the salmonella scare. Many articles can be found back to February.

 

When I searched I also saw in the Independent "Texas governor criticises Biden administration for giving baby formula to migrant children

Republican officials are outraged that children in migrant detention facilities have access to formula during nationwide shortage"

 

 

If  you’re interested, Carlson explains it, all verified.

 

If you’re not a Carlson fan, I don’t want to hear about it.

This morning on sky news, Ed Milliband interview, I see he's now the shadow climate change MP !!

 

He's pushing windfall tax, climate crisis, cost of living crisis (how do you type a trade mark, lol)

 

... said "we want to build back better" And speaking of Kier Starmer "what drives him is this economy doesn't work for millions of people across this country".... 

 

(talk about hidden in plain sight)

 

.... and Kier wants to create... something about climate change creating jobs.

 

(Everything we said they would say)

 

Noticed the rainbow flag in the distance behind him, but there it was.

 

Also saw an 'advert for 'cost of living crisis with Kay Burley' There's that same phrase again.

Mum calls in police after Birmingham ICC security guard 'racial profiling' bag check row

Quote

A mum has contacted police after claiming she and her daughter were 'racially profiled' by ICC security guards in a bag check row. Sharon Holloway says she and Cleo, 12, were attending a regular jazz practice at the venue when the confrontation took place.

Sharon, 55, from Stirchley, claims after waiting in a line to enter the city centre venue they were singled out by a 'rude and aggressive' security guard for a random check of her daughter's guitar case. The mum-of-two says they were the only black people in the line and no other bags were checked.

The learning mentor later reported the May 7 incident to police and the ICC. Both have confirmed they are looking into the claims.

From: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/mum-calls-police-after-birmingham-23920117

 

Oh dear, so black people should be exempt from having their bags checked because 'racism'?

 

Here's the thing, I attended an event at the ICC a few years ago, and I had my backpack checked, no big deal. I had nothing to hide, just contained a rolled up jacket and some packed lunch and a bottle of water. I didn't make a big deal out of it, I just showed them the inside of my bag, and the guard let me through.

Just heard on the ‘news’ where I am that climate activists don’t want the plebs to have financial help to obtain an electric car; they should sell their gas guzzler and buy a bicycle or use public transport.

 

Had to laugh; blatant elitism by a green gnome.

Germany: Knife attack on train leaves several wounded
https://www.dw.com/en/germany-knife-attack-on-train-leaves-several-wounded/a-61789867

Reminds me of this I read a few weeks back when I was reading about some "new German" who had stabbed up three people in a supermarket a year or so back but had recently got off 'cos he was deemed mental.

More than 50 knife attacks every day in Germany

 

German police authorities recorded around 20,000 knife attacks last year. That is an average of more than 50 attacks per day, notes Junge Freiheit. The highest number of 5,411 happened in North Rhine-Westphalia, a query from Welt am Sonntag to the interior ministers of the federal states revealed.

In second place comes Berlin, with 2,593 knife attacks. In Lower Saxony, there were 2,377. Only the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania did not provide any figures. In total, at least 100 people died in such incidents.

Would safety issues cover all guises or are we just being pedantic for the sake of it?

On the news they mentioned monkeypox again and said it's not an epidemic or pandemic like we've been used to

 

(As you see, an interesting use of words)

 

I also heard separately on radio 4, the mention of the importance of contact tracing 

 

(When I looked into contact tracing in 2020, I heard voices I respected in the NHS saying that the system we already had in place was sidestepped. Privatisation. Control. Secrecy. I read that some of our data was sent to America. Wasn't that Serco and / or G4S?) 

 

..... 4 more people in England have been diagnosed. The risk to the public remains very low although it appears that the individuals caught it in the UK.

 

Let's go to our global health correspondent  !!

(Naomi Grimley live in South West London)

 

Are we looking then at some community transmission of this disease?

 

Yes that's right. The UKHSA thinks there has been some community transmission, but as you stressed in your introduction, they very much think that this will be a cluster, not something like an epidemic outbreak or a pandemic that we've been used to with covid. 

 

Monkeypox is a rare viral infection and usually it is connected with travel to travel to West Africa and certainly the first case that was discovered in the UK this year on the 7th May did have a travel link to Nigeria, but since then they have had other cases and the last 4 have all been in gay or bisexual men, and it's thought they caught it in London. So That's why health officials have been saying people should be on the lookout for rashs, for unusual bumps on their bodies and also the usual fever type symptoms that come with this monkey pox, so that's swollen lymph nodes and obviously chills and feeling very hot

Three times today I've heard 'due to the war in Ukraine' ...

 

Mostly to do with food, and also the steel industry in Italy 

 

Hopefully I'll get to add more on that later

It's this mentality (complying with fat boy, privileged imbecile Oliver and the like) that led to some busy-bodying dinner-lady activites when my lad was at school, and their believing it was OK  - in fact their duty - to confiscate a fun sized mars bar from his packed lunch box. 

 

I went in the next day and put the cheeky bastards straight in no uncertain terms!
