Don?t Panic Mr Monkeypox! Social Distancing Returns Due to New Viral Panic Tue May 17, 2022 16:53 | Toby Young
At least one medical practice in West London has reintroduced social distancing to reduce the risk of patients contracting Monkeypox. This, in spite of the fact that there are only nine cases so far in the U.K.

Are All Britain?s Current Woes Traceable to a Group of Entitled ?Tory Toffs? at Oxford in the 1980s? Tue May 17, 2022 13:00 | Toby Young
Simon Kuper's book about how a small group of 'Tory Toffs' who were at Oxford in the 1980s masterminded the Brexit project to reclaim their aristocratic birthright is highly entertaining, but not convincing.

Forget Science ? Climate Now Has a Central Role in The Culture Wars Tue May 17, 2022 11:26 | Chris Morrison
You might think that if you debunk patently silly extreme weather claims, the entire fear agenda will go away. Think again. Climate change is now firmly embedded in the culture wars surrounding race, identity and gender.

Why didn't the US back Zelensky? The New York Times wrote earlier this year that his government could be overthrown by far-right groups if he ?agrees to a peace deal that in their minds gives too much to Moscow?.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3not to mention the dangers of superweeds, corporate patents on crops and the loss of potentially lucrative organic food markets. When the building sector finally ceases to create employment and we realise that our manufacturing sector is fucked and all our natural resources have been given away, what else will ireland have to offer except good organic food. But they even want to screw that up on us too. What total idiots we have running this country.

The other side. You really really cant trust IBEC.at all. They'd sell us all out in a heartbeat iif they made money out of it. And these guys always have the taoiseachs ear! Scary.

Is it that saving seed is illegal??
How on earth could this be?
its that
(a)the big corporations are buying up all the seed companies and promoting a monoculture rather than encouraging biodiversity.
(b) if pollen from a GM plant pollinates your related crop, then you are technically in breach of their patent. Your subsequent seeds are in breach too. They have already won courtcases on this point. GM is about controlling the food chain, not doing good for humanity. The pollen from GM rapeseed can pollinate any other members of that plant family (brachia) such as broccoli or cauliflower.
IMHO One of the reasons they chose rapeseed to genetically engineer is because people are more likely to grow a gm plant for its biofuel than to eat but once it is widespread it irreversibly contaminates the whole brachia family. they are clever and playing a long game
(c) initially they undercut normal seed prices to push people out of the seed business and build dependency. They also "accidentally" release pollen from their varieties.
Note recent docking of a ship containing live GM seed with the wrong documents in dublin.
Also, note how the database containing the tracking info on such shipments "mysteriously " disappeared due to a computer crash.(nobody ever heard of backups of course!)
Note also an ex science adviser who was in the pocket of Gm companies who never lost his job (just got shuffled somewhere else) when it was revealed that he got his degree from a fake university over the internet.
And you can be sure food labelling laws will not be strengthened much in this country either.
around 90% of the respondents to a recent survey on GM foods expressed reservations yet the conclusion of the report seemed to blatantly ignore this and read like something from a GM brochure
In spite of this widespread opposition to GM, our elected representatives consistently abstain from votes on the topic of GM in europe.
Personally I smell a rat over all this
