Food waste NGO
"the waste equates to one in every ten chickens(that's 86 million uneaten chickens) bought and costs households £660 million a year, almost £30 for every home in the country"

24 million house holds in the UK probably spend £80/week each on food
Context is that waste is probably quite small ..compared to nature

"The Committee is exploring the impact of the stockpiling of recyclable material and whether there is enough storage capacity to handle that material."

Classic!

Q. Why do we need to stockpile recyclable material?

A. Because nobody wants it.

Q. What currently happens to all this unwanted recyclable material?

A. It catches fire under mysterious circumstances, and burns, leaving Taxpayers to pick up the bill, whilst all the grants and subsidies pay for holiday homes and expensive cars.

Some newspaper stories claim
Brixton Road in Lambeth which breached its annual legal limit for air pollution already this year
Others say "Nitrogen dioxide levels in Brixton Road, Lambeth, have exceeded hourly limits 18 times already this year "
..fishy stats
I'm guessing you get a foggy night and the NOx doesn't clear

I used to live on Brixton Hill which is the same road a mile further south.
Often cycled that road.

Putin's Greens have got control of UK policy
and basically turned UK into a Green-Banana republic

.. why would anyone invest in the UK when the gov, does crazy thing like changing the rules to fit green dogma ?
..and doesn't allow safe things like fracking.

Y Post and fracking : pg 7 whole page
- A king of factual report , then one item on the only Resident who has publicly backed fracking "I run a BnB, so get threats from the activists", also a kinda -pro paragraph from MP, and another stating company's line.

pg 13 is a complete page : The Bernhard Ingham article on LHS vs Activist on RHS
then Letters page has a 8 letters : 6 against, 2 pro

Their online poll is showing 17% support for fracking 83% against

Warning also given: organic milk has ~50% less iodine; soy, almond, coconut et al fad "milks" contain none.

Too much iodine is not good for you. People who eat a lot of seaweed are most vulnerable.

Crispy fried seaweed, as served in UK Chinese reataurants, is normally a non-marine brassica such as cabbage or kale.
