    Don’t start ‘thinking’ or I’ll organise an intervention.

    I must admit, one of my guilty pleasures is watching from the sidelines when someone plays the 'free speech card' insisting that what they've said on social media is not libellous when it clearly is actionable. It's a classic example of people thinking they know best when they very obviously, and in Barton's case quite expensively, don't.

    Why couldn’t they just be ‘sex people’ like other bored middle-aged folk?

    To be fair, if it wasn't for him, that would have been a tory seat.

    Former ‘Television Producer’ Richard Hall is being sued in a civil trial by two victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. Hall, a prominent conspiracist, has claimed in videos and in print that the bombing was a hoax and that those suing him, a man and his daughter who were severely injured in the blast, have no injuries. Hall went as far as secretly filming them.

    Hall appears to have dismissed the first rule about conspiracies, which is that to have any chance of being true they must have a small, coherent group of conspirators. That’s not 22,000 spectators, the entire emergency services of Greater Manchester, plus Ariana Grande and her band.

    On this occasion, I see his point. That there were 22,000 people wanting to go and see Ariana Grande live is quite hard to believe, which throws the whole thing into doubt.

    This sort of malicious conspiraloonacy needs squashing. It's a branch of the same tree those nutters I posted about yesterday fell out of. Although arguably this guy's a notch above because he's clearly one of the ring leaders doing the radicalising rather than a sad sack just believing it all.

    Some late September consprialoonacy going on currently about having to register any live chickens from 1 October. The agency responsible says “By registering their Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) will contact you with updates and guidance if there’s a disease outbreak (such as bird flu) in your area. You’ll help prevent the spread of disease and protect all kept birds, including back-yard flocks.”

    Naturally the same saddos are at it again, dribbling on about it being Orwellian, part of a plan to control domestic food supply, government overreach, ‘why are chicken registered but not illegals?’ etc etc until your brains dribble out your ears from exposure to the complete stupidity of it.

    They seem to be trying to crash the government registration website today by registering their store-bought chickens. Absolute helmets the lot of them.

    "There's nothing there to say we were there to injuriously kidnap or harm [Lincoln Brookes]," the defendant said.

    "The warrant wasn't to kidnap or imprison anyone, I don't know where you got that from.

    "There was no violence from us, we wasn’t there to be violent - we do everything by the pen."

    @Keighley throw away the key!

  27. Well well.
    "Among those raising concerns has been Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe, who said on X that he had asked the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs to carry out an urgent review of the additive."

    Not sure what counts as the conspiracy theory part. I mean, Bovaer is real and Arla is adding it to cattle feed. It was developed by a Dutch company, DSM, which sponsors one of the World Tour professional cycling teams.

    The bit in dispute is whether or not it's safe for human consumption – and whether reducing methane in the atmosphere can have an impact on climate breakdown.

    There's definitely growing awareness of food production processes and a sense that chemicals are a part of that process when they need not be.

    In terms of PR, though, Arla have had an absolute shocker. Literally a how-not-to-do-it example of communications.

    I mean, the Bill Gates / WEF / population control angle (only part of which the BBC article refers to but all of which I've seen on X) probably qualifies as the conspiracy theory bit?

    That and the fact the same people promoting this are also the vaccine injury, vapor trails, Project 2030 gang.

    Rupert Lowe just has to read the EFSA report: https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.2903/j.efsa.2021.6905

    And the UK report from ACAF: https://acaf.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023-04/RP1059_3NOP_CommitteesAdvice_Final.pdf

    Sorry to spot the fatal flaw in your argument - but no humans are ever going to consume it via a bovine route. It either inhibits the enzymes in one of the cow's stomachs or is reduced to 1,3 propanediol as part of the digestive process.

    It's not my argument! My point is that the people who are upset about this are asking, and casting doubt on, whether it's safe for human consumption or not. The scientists say it is, but that's not satisfying everyone – at least not on social media. And there's some information knocking about that says it impacts male fertility, which people are interpreting as meaning it's not safe to drink milk from cows fed Bovaer.

    If you eat the cattle feed then there would be a risk. Drinking the milk or eating the butter/cheese has zero risk. I think that is the subtle difference the conspiracy theorists fail to understand.

    Who is disputing this??? - methane is a greenhouse gas with an effect 85 times greater than CO2 over 20 years.

    Yeah - lets stick to the perfectly natural process of keeping cows lactating permanently and using their milk to put on our cereal.

    So it's they're not OK with neither 3-NOP bovine metabolism nor humankind's influence on the climate but they are OK with mobile-phone operation and internet data packet sharing?

    A bit 'pick and choosey' these "experts".
