BTW Aspirin carries a greater risk than Paracetamol, which is one of the most stable and effective non-prescription drugs ever produced.

 

Aspirin is a wonder drug, no doubt and it has it's merits and more is being discovered about its general benefits in many areas but it increases a risk of severe haemorrhage which is why different drugs are now being used as an anticoagulant.

 

As a pain reliver I would go Paracetamol/Ibuprofen over Aspirin.

Doesn’t make sense 

If all sides on all subjects feel that the beeb is favouring their opponent then the beeb must be doing a reasonable job of being impartial/ even handed.

Ibuprofen and Aspirin are very similar and are both NSAIDs. They both aggravate the stomach lining and can cause severe issues. I can't take Aspirin or Ibuprofen because of my Colitis. 

 

It's Cocodamol or Paracetamol only.

Same for me on that bear,

Unfortunately the paracetamol we tolerate, the orange American medical expert says it will make us autistic.

Dumb rednecks innit?

 

Well actually it is. The same type of people that will religiously support Trump in whatever he says and does without regard to the actual truth will be the "redneck" equivalents in the UK that will absolutely believe whatever comes out of Reform's mouthpieces.

 

They are so blinkered that they can't see anything else other than that which supports their own narrow beliefs.

 

It was interesting the other day when I was driving through a large council estate, the numerous union and St George flags that were hanging from lampposts. And then once away from the area, even just by a few streets, there were no flags. :dunno:.

 

 

I've noticed many of the Union Flags (not Jacks, most certainly not in Leicester) are upside down. I'm not in the least bit patriotic, but even I know that there's a right way to fly it and which way that is.

 

Proof that many of these people have no idea, it's just mindless sheep herding.

Why do people follow what he does and listen to the absolute guff he comes out with?

 

I understand it affects world economies, but it's like reading the Monster Raving Loony Party manifesto and discussing it daily. 

 

He should be nothing but mocked and dismissed. 

Like a young child having a tantrum, but one that’s armed with a machine gun.

Is it hypocrisy for many countries that don’t recognise isr to demand that western countries recognise Peloton ??

 

if so, why don’t we ask that they reciprocate ??

I know its expensive but it does work

Is that mainly Arabic countries? 
 

Our issue is that our recognition is purely symbolic and doesn’t actually change anything. As long as America unequivocally supports Isr then nothing will change.

I saw a list of 28 which includes just under half of Arab countries with the remainder being Muslim majority nations. (And North Korea) 

 

occurred to me that we will soon reach the point where the same number of countries recognise both states. (28 v 36 )

 

as for our recognition just being symbolic, that’s true to a point but I believe that some laws now change (probably just technical ) as Palestine is now a ‘friendly nation’ plus as we’ve seen in the media, there is space for lawyers to try and make some dosh although I’d be shocked if they got anywhere given the UN involvement in post WWII events.

I thought the same with Truss but they just blame the establishment and carry on in their ways. 

For years one of the biggest problems has long been the moderates and soft right doing the whole “you’re overreacting, Trump/Farage are just grifters, they’re not that bad, stop comparing them to Russia/China/1920s Italy” etc. Or even the “they’re just 90s Democrats” meme that was around for a while.

 

Although there’s still some holding out, I do find most in the centre and centre-right have realised by now (although I fear they realised too late) that Trumpism/Farageism are authoritarian and fundamental dangers to democracy, peace, international order and they actively want the chaos, war and cruelty for the same reason producers of the Real Housewives programmes want constant fights and arguments - they’re reality tv stars in their heads and the more chaos, drama, death, destruction and insanity, the more people’s eyeballs are glued to them and that’s ultimately all they care about.
 

If you approach Trump and Farage from the position that they are just like Real Housewives stars who just want to be the most famous people on earth, and don’t care whether that attention comes from good or evil, pretty much all of what they do makes sense.

In other news, impressed by Ed Davey this week. He won’t get heard in the press, but it’s nice there’s at least one leader of a party in the uk at least still out there trying to defend and go out to bat for international law, institutions and western ideals

Decent people identifying a clear, legit and obvious threat to the future, only to be stymied by those who prefer a comfortable status quo (for them) and be told they're overreacting (or flat out lying) and ignore that threat until it's practically too late to stop?

 

That sounds familiar.

The government are legitimately to blame for stoking the fire on migrants, when completely dumb stuff like this happens - anyone with half a brain will see this as daft and a waste of money but also a bit of a storm in a tea cup in the grand scheme of things but why are we letting stuff like this happen - it will just give the union jack brigade ammunition.

I'm no fan of Labour but the objective reality is that that will be a system that originated under the Tories, which Labour have now identified (it's mind boggling that no data is being kept when it's an automated system) and plan to address, and the number of asylum seekers in hotels has almost halved since Labour came to power. 

But it'll be Farage who benefits because people have no desire to actually critique information anymore.
