Trump makes unproven claims linking autism to Tylenol use by pregnant women Some studies have suggested an association between the two, but experts say there is no causal relationship.

Farage furious over Jo Brand's 'throw battery acid not milkshake' joke Brexit party leader calls for police action over comedian’s comments on BBC Radio 4

Mmmmmmm. www.theguardian.com/culture/2019...

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666 times more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Worth thinking about before you buy your next caramel spiced latte.

But Trump/Farage will have you beleive that the wealth gap is due to immigration.

Some are still falling for the grift!

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

So NOT the guardians of free speech that they claim to be! Maybe Farage can reference this when he appears before Congressional hearings on free speech next month!
