Cruel and unusual punishment from a Labour government. Great.
Interesting that £1k of benefits cheating will give the government carte blanche to look through your bank accounts but fraud and tax avoidance by the richest in society and HMRC can’t do a thing. Funny how that works…
- Comment on Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show 3 months ago:
The solution is a varied diet.
We need to be eating random things, not the same protein, carbs, and veggies that we know we like and buy on routine.
How much of the fruit and vegetable aisle do you actually purchase from? I think many of us get in a routine of buying the same things over and over because we know what we like or we’re on autopilot from work burnout. But, for example, if instead of buying apples each week, we buy a different random fruit. Or, if the budget can stretch it, buy apples and a random fruit. Then our nutritional variety has just increased.
I’m being a bit of a hypocrite here because I myself like to buy the same things over and over. I like chicken, I like apples, I like the same granola I always get. But during each shop, I try to add at least something random that I don’t normally get. A vegetable I don’t normally cook with or tofu instead of chicken, whatever. We need variety.
There’s also the talk of nutritional content reducing in supermarket goods as they’re produced for profit. So growth speed and shelf appearance are prioritised, a way to combat that is to start growing some of your own. Obviously, this is highly dependent upon living situations, but even some herbs in a windowsill will help. Personally, I think vegetable gardeners are some of the most punk people out there, sustaining themselves, entertaining themselves, and learning new skills all for the price of a bag of dirt and some seeds. Be punk!
- Comment on New coal mining licences will be banned 4 months ago:
At the very bottom of the page:
Notes to editors
Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.
The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.
- Comment on Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why 4 months ago:
It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be “dual control”. It was clearly the Americans.
Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?
