JFC folks drinking raw milk is Russian roulette except only one chamber is empty. You might as well drink wood alcohol. DON'T DO IT.

Zero net migration would shrink UK economy by 3.6%, says thinktank Jump of Β£37bn in budget deficit by 2040 would force government to increase taxes, NIESR predicts

For the hard of thinking at the back, the UK needs immigration.

Many on the far-right would have you believe that immigrants (especially non white ones) are the cause of all your problems.

In fact, the lack of them could well make your problems worse.

Card carrying member of said woke Mob. One of them discussed suing me for defamation with Epstein. Sadly, truth is a defence.

Oh, I’m happy to own it! But it shows how Lawrence Krauss saw my complaint. But I do love that Epstein called Ken Starr about my case and they were both β€˜Sorry Dude, case against you seems watertight!’

I hope you follow @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on this point. I can’t believe UK health data was turned over to a purveyor of Eugenics - and the UK office headed by Enoch Powell’s grandson.

Mandelson’s Fifth Column The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department β€œfunctions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧡

Let’s stop with the β€˜let’s make rape and forced birth legal’ crap already. No one gets the β€˜right’ to pass their genes on. The entire concept is 1930s eugenics to start with!

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by β€œfree economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
