So interest in Synthetic Folic Acid peaked around the world on Google except in the UK where it is being mandated into all our flour where it fell. Really ? I think we are being played and I am questioning as to why the petition is for a full Parliamentary debate on the mandate is not increasing faster. Please sign the petition and let’s stop the mandate
How odd. Searches for folic acid took off globally. At the same time as they fell through the floor in the UK. Google trends:

Day 23; no idea💡 how to convince you to sign or how to beat the althorighims and the censorship on this campaign But we do know that every single person on this planet was born from a "MOTHER" Yet it's being deleted quicker than we can have a hot cuppa tea ☕ sad ain't it 😭

This is absolutely horrific, you may not want to watch. A man whips a little girl. Iraqi women tell me this is common, the violence against women and girls is astronomical in Iraq. This is a feature, not a bug. #ضد_قانون_الاحوال٢ #ضد_قانون_الاحوال

Is liar one of the words on @ZackPolanski's banned list?
"Polanski said his family 'fled the Nazis'. But all four of his grandparents were born in Britain - long before the war When Zack Polanski told the heart-rending tale of his ancestors fleeing the Nazis, it earned him applause at last year's Green Party conference. But the Holocaust story has raised questions after family history research found his grandparents were all born in Britain long before the Second World War" dailymail.com/news/article-1…

What this barrister said ... We've no hope, no hope at all
He sexually abused a defenceless woman admitted to hospital after her drink had been spiked. He made her relive her experiences in a trial. I know that the defence barrister has a job to do, but the statement he made in mitigation sums up one of the main problems with the justice system - trying to minimise and garner sympathy for rapists. He said:- “The effect on his wife and children will be “significant if not catastrophic. “It’s going to cause damage to lots of things – institutional reputation, a whole community, to a wife and family. “Though this offence is horrible, a breach of trust and in context a disgraceful situation, it could be opportunistically perceived as a one-off, a transgression, an out of character action. “There is no suggestion of this sort of activity in his past. This is somebody who has been a good work colleague and a good and supportive father and partner”. The report said that he “is LIKELY to be deported after serving his sentence - not that he WILL be”. He’s been sentenced to 7 years in prison.

Why is the response/service from the NHS at any one time, so worryingly variable? Is either @andyburnham or @YvetteCooperMP in any way willing to acknowledge that it is, and do anything useful to address it? Tuesday’s care for me was seamless. Today? Bizarrely & worryingly bad.

I surprised myself with an ambulance trip yesterday, to A&E in another town. My question today is: If Omeprazole is to be taken before breakfast, and Prednisolone to be taken with, what is/should be, the required time lag between the two?

Young women and women from lower socio-economic backgrounds are not taking the recommended folic acid supplements ahead of, and during the first trimester of, pregnancy, the government says. Their solution? Add folic acid to everyone's food. Men. Elderly people. Children. Women whose child-bearing years are passed. Women who are or are about to be pregnant and who ARE taking the supplements and don't need more in food. People with cancer, or heart stents, or undiagnosed Vitamin B12 deficiency who, by the NHS's own admission, may well be harmed by supplementation. And they have no idea what dose people will receive from food, including the young women being targeted. Nor do the people receiving it. Food labelling does not show how much folic acid in each product, and who is going to keep a running total of their folic acid consumption every day? I'm sorry to go on and on about this. Actually I'm not. This is outrageous. It needs to stop! This is a massive overreach by government. Please sign the petition in the comments. Share it not just on X but on facebook, mumsnet and whatever other networks you're on. Send it on whatsapp or by email to your friends and family. Write to your MP, and to your supermarket, and the manufacturers of your favourite baked goods, asking them to push for the government to abandon this bad, bad policy.

Check how your MP voted on the Assisted Suicide Bill and send them an email tailored to that vote, asking them to now focus on improving palliative, hospice and social care. It takes just seconds! righttolife.org.uk/ah2k

“Babies are not goods to be ordered” “Pregnant women are not factories” Perfectly expressed.
Speaking against the loosening of surrogacy regulations, suggested by a parliamentary petition. The government rightly rejected it. Babies are not goods to be ordered. Pregnant women are not factories.

PLEASE SHARE If anyone has seen a man in Little Lever today, described as an Asian man, around 35–45 years old, wearing a stripy shirt and blue jeans, please let me know or contact the police. A woman was standing at a bus stop when she heard someone shouting she turned around thinking it was someone she knew and this foreigner shouted at her “Oi, you!” He then walked quickly across the road shouting “Wait there, I’m gonna stab you up, fucking slag.” She ran into a sunbed shop where staff locked the door quickly . Please if you see him do not approach call the police immediately Greater Manchester Police call 101 or 999

It looks like @elonmusk’s moral arbiters have reverted to the bad old woke days. And yet the post to which I replied, which made a similar point to mine, hasn’t been flagged as hateful, or at all.

Drugs, which all come with warnings, should not be in our food! Folic acid is a drug. Folate is vitamin B9 and is a different molecule. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Dr Clare Craig @ClareCraigPath is doing her level best to stop the insanity of mandating the addition of folic acid to flour in the UK; please do your research and support her petition if you agree with her rational arguments. This isn't just an issue about folic acid, though: it begs important, general questions about the role of government in our society today; I find the patronising, 'we know best' attitude, abhorrent. These clueless clowns we call 'politicians' listen to those they choose to believe are 'experts' and then impose the concomitant, agenda-driven nonsense on the masses. We thus end up with endless policy decisions that are not in the best interests of the latter but simply serve the vested interests of the entities that most influence these so-called 'experts'. I don't give a rat's arse if a government official wants to add a toxic substance to the flour he or she consumes: if they can't be bothered to do the relevant research to inform them that it is a bad idea, that's their problem ... but the notion that he or she should be allowed to impose the consequences of their ignorance on the general population is fundamentally wrong. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

For disabled people, the return of this bill is an existential threat. Can you ask your MP to vote against the new assisted suicide bill on September 11? action.notdeadyetuk.org

A thing of nightmares 👇🏼 Females in Cheltenham - stay away from this specimen (which you most probably would in any case). Victor Valentine is a self-proclaimed misogynist and online incel who poses a risk to women. So concerned were police, they have successfully applied for a strict five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order despite the 29-year-old having no convictions for sexual offences. It follows a history of unprovoked public violence towards women. The court order severely restricts his internet access, bans him from incel forums, and prohibits him from entering or loitering near female-only spaces like toilets and changing rooms. Under the terms, Valentine must also hand over his sole internet-enabled device to police for inspection upon request and keep his location data turned on at all times. Police secured the order as a preventative measure to monitor his behaviour and protect women and girls in the community from harm. Running until August 25, 2031, any breach of the strict conditions could see Valentine arrested and facing up to five years in prison. Source UK Database.
