That'll be down to avian flu. Think RFK can handle that? 

 

Shhhhh! Don't mention bird flu!

 

That's not my input. That's official government policy. Just don't talk about it, and it'll probably go away.

Egg price went up by £2 a tray since COVID only because wheat price 2 years ago.

 

But unsurprisingly the eggs price hasn't come down, and yes I buy a full tray every 2 weeks from the butchers.

Avian flu could be a big problem. 

 

Lack of eggs is a problem, my mate can't get his Creon medicine, for pancreatic cancer, due to the egg shortage.

I recommend growing them at home, I'm taking half a dozen to my customer tomorrow because I have too many.

Not sure how I'd turn them into Creon medicine to be honest, but at least if we cover some of the culinary side of production, that'll leave more for medical purposes.

Any more knowledge on the subject?

Me thinks it might be a bit more involved that making moonshine in your potting shed.

MAGA caps may as well have skulls on them

 

The rightwing are obessed with ladyboys etc......

 

 

I think its a topic with  100's of others of more importance, though I can see it might be impotant if you are LGBT etc & as now they are gonna be  very likely, increasingly  persecuted.

 

 

& then whos next.....

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

 

Well worth reminding the MAGA, especially on this of all days.

 

I imagine that if LGBT people were around in such numbers at that time they would definitely have been on the list. Before or after gay folk or Roma? Not sure. Probably green folk and "Climate Zealots" and Wokers wouldn't have stood a chance either.

 

It all started with "othering" of groups of people they didn't like/understand/envied/felt threatened by, etc. Subtle othering at first and then less and less subtle. Just like we're seeing again these days. I think we do actually need to be very careful at this juncture, people need to wake up to what's going on in the Western World.

100% 42, 

Next they will be enforcing restrictions on public gatherings, shutting pubs and places where people gather to socialise. Keeping families apart. Stopping people travelling, restricting kids education, state sponsored propaganda encouraging the use of experimental  vaccination in the name of restoration of personal freedoms. Silencing those whom disagree with the state line. Utilising the full weight and power of the state to enforce draconian measures in the name of “ public safety” 

Yep you have to be aware of what’s going on around you  as you say, strange you have just mentioned it since Trump won 👍

I believe that we are witnessing the beginning of a sharp deterioration in the morality of western society, but with the US being the focal point for the time being. 

 

as they say, when the US sneezes, the world wipes their noses. Which is what is worrying, and can be seen above in this thread how idolising The Rapist is blinding people to repeat of history.

 

I don't go down the Nazi / WW2 path often but on the anniversary of 80 years of Auschwitz it is a fitting lesson to look back at history and the rhetoric of the Nazi party.. to how it started.. divide and conquer... and how it ended.

 

Preventing that is a fight worth fighting. To me this stems from a basic respect that a person is a person regardless of race, colour, religious, sexuality wealth or birthright. No one is born better or worse than any other. We're just born. Hatred is a thing we learn, and is a thing we pass on to our children.

 

just a lesson to look to history to see our future.

Nah ND. You've failed to understand as per usual.

 

Guess you're on about Covid yet again.

Either you've misunderstood history or you're seeking to make political capital again by equating the horrors of the Holocaust with your own little bugbears. Seriously? I'm sure you stated recently that you were compassionate beyond belief.

 

If you still think that Covid, (the world's response to it specifically), is the greatest existential threat that we face then I'm afraid that you are very much mistaken. Again. You should look back over your reams and reams of "contributions" on your threads. Much of it is perceived very much as "othering", of the unsubtle variety no less. That way lies horror.

Well SP it’s looking like Kissinger is in our midst. Talking of division and hatred between people, I’ve done two tours of NI and a UN tour on the green line between the Turkish and Greek parts of Cyprus, very little of what I see nowadays bears any resemblance to what I saw there. Your speech references Trump right at the beginning, you were more than happy with divide and conquer when Biden was the president or when ludicrous rules were being enforced here. Imo the subject is way way too complicated to understand or comprehend here but there’s a lot of politicians over the last 20-30 years up to present day who have enforced ideological, social and economic policies over a variety of countries that combined with recent mass immigration into Western Europe,  post destabilisation of the Middle East etc has contributed significantly to the divisions we see today. The Likes of Merkel and Blair etc are not without blame. You may be right and things may well kick off at some point, I’d suggest you and a few others get around a bit more then you will realise this is one of the most tolerant countries in the world. But people will only have the piss taken out of them for so long before it starts to chafe a bit.
