One of the reasons we have high youth unemployment is Blair. He sent so many kids of to waste their time in Uni and rack up a lifetime bill. Those that were academic did well, the dentists etc. Most didn't, many got qualifications in the likes of 'media studies' then left and looked for a job in a flooded declining market
Now they cannot get into their chosen vocation, doing any ordinary job is beneath them. Some of the wealthiest, happiest people I know, started on the tills of Woolworths or filling the shelves in Tesco and teat gave them the drive to better themselves and start their own business with the recently earned work experience.
Starting and owning your own business used to be something that recessions stimulated in many people. That stimulation has faded, it has been snowflaked out of many young people, betrayed by Blair.

This is an intentional foul and it’s very obvious that the VAR didn’t recall the incident.

🚨 Manchester City, supposedly the highest-earning club in world football, with revenues even greater than Real Madrid, are STRUGGLING to sell out their Champions League clash against back-to-back winners PSG tonight. 😭
You'd struggle to find another English club that wouldn't sell out its stadium for a European night against opposition of that calibre.
Yet somehow, City are having trouble shifting tickets for one of the biggest fixtures of the season. 🤦♂️💀
Tonight, a state-owned club accused of breaking the rules for over a decade to dominate the Premier League faces a state-owned club that has breached UEFA's financial regulations on its way to dominating French football and eventually dominating Europe.
Both Qatar and the UAE entered football with the same ambition: to win, whatever the cost, while using the sport to improve their nations' images and reputations on the world stage. In doing so, they've driven a coach and horses through regulations designed to protect fair competition.
PSG spent more than £200M on Neymar and £160M on Kylian Mbappé in the same summer, helping fuel an explosion in transfer fees and wages that the rest of football has been desperately trying to keep up with ever since. The knock-on effect has been devastating.
Ligue 1 is now in a financial crisis, while the Premier League, although in a much stronger position, has seen the integrity of more than a decade of competition called into question by Manchester City's financial misconduct.
Pep Guardiola will even be there to support his former side.
This is the Champions League tie Manchester City deserve after their guilty verdict. Two clubs whose rise represents everything wrong with modern football, facing each other on Europe's biggest stage.
This fixture is a microcosm of everything that has gone wrong with the beautiful game.

Here's a radical idea.
What if we allowed people to decide what goes into their own bodies?
Synthetic Folic acid is being added to non-wholemeal wheat flour in Britain, whether you want it or not. This means it will start to show up in potentially hundreds of every day food products and baked goods.
The intention is to protect babies from serious birth defects. An important goal.
But since when did a good intention mean the public shouldn't have a choice?
Public health should INFORM, not simply IMPOSE.

People keep asking why I'm questioning folic acid being added to flour, but not thiamine or niacin.
Here's why.
Thiamine (B1) and niacin (B3) are processed through different metabolic pathways. The body processes them differently.
Synthetic folic acid (B9) requires conversion by an enzyme called DHFR, which works relatively slowly and varies in activity between individuals.
What we KNOW: Unmetabolised folic acid can circulate in the bloodstream.
What we DON'T KNOW: Whether its presence causes long-term harm at normal dietary exposure levels.
Folic acid supplementation is advised around conception to reduce the risk of serious birth defects. Mandatory flour fortification is intended to extend that potential benefit across the population.
And here's another important distinction.
Thiamine (B1) and niacin (B3) occur naturally in wheat. Much of both is stripped away during the milling of white flour, so they're added back to replace nutrients lost in processing.
Natural folate is also lost during milling, but the new synthetic folic acid requirement has a different primary purpose: increasing population-wide intake to help prevent neural tube defects.
Replacing nutrients lost in processing and deliberately increasing population-wide exposure are not quite the same thing.
So what about cumulative exposure from flour, other fortified foods, packaged foods, baked goods as well as supplements? It seems to be added to almost everything packaged. And should everyone be exposed regardless of individual need?

What I don’t get is why Folic Acid is being introduced into a huge amount of food that we eat when it is deemed not safe for cancer patients & people with stents.
As we are being told that One in Two of us will get cancer in our lifetime this appears to be a very dangerous move.
So why are they doing it 🤔

40+ new Tesla Semis spotted at their factory in Nevada today. Still feels surreal to finally see this thing in mass production.
Tesla Semi Factory Ramping!
Let's take a look at the Tesla high-volume semi factory and try to ascertain where they are in terms of ramping up to full production.
As a reminder, full production would be around 50 semis per day, 6 per hour assuming a 24 x 7 schedule.
We also play the speculation game on what the white A-frame object is for.

Every second breath you draw comes from the ocean.
While forests are frequently hailed as the “lungs of the Earth,” they are not the main source of our planet’s oxygen. That distinction belongs to the ocean—specifically to the countless trillions of microscopic marine organisms drifting in its sunlit upper layers.
Phytoplankton, along with cyanobacteria and other tiny algae, perform photosynthesis just like land plants: they harness sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into energy, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
Though individually invisible to the naked eye, these organisms are extraordinarily productive. Together, they generate an estimated 50–80% of the oxygen present in Earth’s atmosphere.
This massive oxygen factory operates across the world’s oceans, largely out of sight. From space, satellite imagery reveals their seasonal blooms as swirling, paint-like patches of color—vivid evidence of the hidden engine that keeps our air breathable. These blooms respond sensitively to shifts in sea temperature, sunlight, nutrient availability, and ocean currents; scientists continue to study how climate change and other pressures may reshape these patterns in the coming decades.
This does not lessen the vital importance of forests. Trees lock away carbon, support immense biodiversity, regulate local climates, and provide countless other benefits. But when it comes to producing the oxygen we breathe, the ocean—not the rainforest—is the dominant contributor.
