THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

 

Four people were killed when Khalid Masood drove a hired SUV along the sidewalk, mowing down pedestrians and leaving three with deadly injuries. He later smashed into railings outside the Houses of Parliament, left the carrier and stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death as he stood on sentry.

Four days following the assault that shook London, women from diverse backgrounds came together in solidarity to denounce the horrific wrong and display solidarity in the face of fear. Several of those present were Muslim, wearing blue as a token of hope and peace.

As visible Muslim women, they understand that it’s necessary to display solidarity with the principles that they all hold dear, the principles of plurality, diversity and so on. When there is an assault in London, then it’s also an assault on them.

It’s an assault on all of them. They stated that Islam completely denounces brutality of any kind and that violence is offensive to them. The feeling of what occurred in London on Wednesday is very overwhelming.

They were thinking of the regular people who were in London and were mowed down, so being there, that was pretty powerful. People from a variety of backgrounds participated in the event, organized by Women’s March On London.

Ahmadiyya Muslims stated they needed to add to the reproach of the violent crimes and stand defiantly in the light of terrorism. They were there to present in a calm way that they will continue to go where they want and do what they want in London.

This is their city, and it’s a pretty small display but then the world is made up of small gestures, and at least their standing up. We stood up long ago, it is only now that we have a voice. They are also standing up because they also condemn the attack like everybody else, not to defend their faith since they have nothing to prove.

Myriads of Muslims from across the globe met in the United Kingdom for a gathering where they renounced extremism and brutality of terror organizations such as Isis. More than 30,000 members of the Ahmadiyya Islamic movement gathered at Oakland Farm in Hampshire for a three-day assembly, the 50th time the annual event has taken place.

On the last day, attendees were directed by the global Caliph of the movement in a promise of peace and a pledge of allegiance to their home nations. The only thing the revolutionaries are doing is to simply dishonor the teachings of the Holy Koran and the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

They are not following Islam, rather it appears as though they have created their own hate-filled and destructive beliefs. The Ahmadiyya movement has 129 hubs across the United Kingdom covering the Baitul Futuh Mosque in south London, the biggest in Western Europe.

The movement was established in India in 1889 with a heavy importance on peace over violence and tolerance over extremism.

30,000-plus people from across 90 nations gathering at the convention come in the spirit of fraternity, and to give gratitude for the protection and liberation they have encountered in Britain.

Many have escaped oppression in other nations and together, they will reaffirm their commitment to support the real teachings of Islam, that are teachings of peace, and to showcase all kinds of extremism and intolerance.

They have much to be thankful for in Britain which has enabled their community to succeed and contribute to British life for more than 100 years. They count themselves gratified to call themselves British Ahmadi Muslims.

The true saying of the movement is “Love for all, hatred for none”.

Organizers of an anti-Isis march in London talked about their disappointment following mainstream media outlets that declined to cover the demonstration. Myriads of people took part in the yearly UK Arbaeen Procession, organized by the Husaini Islamic Trust UK.

While Shia Muslims take part in the march each year to mark the Arbaeen or mourning, the anniversary of Imam Husain, a seventh-century leader who strived for social justice, this year organizers chose to use the occasion as a floor to condemn terrorism following the recent Isis assaults in Paris, Beirut and elsewhere.

There were hundreds of placards which were essentially declaring no to terrorism and no to Isis. A pretty applauded message. For them, it was a controversial move to go political. Usually, they don’t combine politics with mourning.

With what occurred recently, they believed that they had to make sure they as a population completely disassociated themselves with what’s occurring elsewhere in the world. The demonstration, however, declined to accumulate attention in the mainstream media because of stereotyping.

It is the oldest yearly Muslim event in London but sadly, it is quite hard to get any media coverage because of stereotyping. People view the whole Muslim community as one community. The Muslim community is a pretty diverse community, with the vast bulk of them appalled by Isis.

Because Islam and Muslims are getting labeled all over the globe owing to the number of a percentile, no other culture or faith is treated in this way, therefore certainly it is astonishing and requires media coverage.

However, it’s Muslim’s getting the blame, when it’s the radicals creating the dilemma. It’s astounding as this culture and religion are all seen as all being identical. This solidarity proves they are not and these ladies are as offended by these actions as you and I and are not scared to confront and show it.

We should applaud them. Well done ladies!

If we can’t say anything nice, then we shouldn’t say anything at all. Muslims are Muslims and extremists are different, nevertheless, Muslims should unite with the UK people and get to know us and not be against us and vice versa.

We should not have to censor our faiths but should stand with a nation that is working to support us to make a better life for ourselves, and our families. Nevertheless, we should not protect the agitators, the zealots, however, we should understand there is a distinction between Muslims and extremists.

After all, we have no difficulty going to our corner stores that are operated by Muslim families, most of who are really friendly people, nice and polite.

My corner shop is operated by a Muslim family, they work extremely hard, and open up real early and finish rather late. They bend over backward to accommodate me when I go over there, understanding that I am disabled.

If they don’t have a commodity I want in the store, they will go and obtain it for me, even if I am the only person that needs that merchandise. They open up on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s day, which is very helpful for me, and I appreciate all they do.

They have been in this country for a really long time, and work extremely hard, they are grafters, and we would be lost without our corner shops, and when we use them we ignore the reality that they are Muslim since it suits us to buy from them.

Nevertheless, if we didn’t require a corner store, see how fast we would abuse those folks that work in them now.

We are not an especially peaceful society and we manage to separate from other people’s needs, and nonviolent doesn’t appear to be in our lexicon. We appear to have a hard job existing collectively which forces us against one another.

The intensity of that produces multiple conflicts which have multiple outcomes which make us crash and burn. People think that we can’t live together in peace but that’s not really correct because we could put an end to all hostilities, it’s called compromise.

We are the engineer of our own future, we are the masterminds behind any conflict that goes on, and when it comes down to it we are really not very clever people at all. We are human beings with very limited intelligence at all because as human beings our animal instincts are still there, so when it comes down to it, we have not evolved very far.

We are driven by servitude and we are the doormats of the elite and the mass media and we are deceived all the time. The news is repressed all the time by the media and we don’t scrutinize what the elite and media don’t want us to know.

We must prevent prejudice of any sort since hatred is a kind of bullying and we should have a ban on this. We must defeat any manner of conflict since there is only beauty in the universe, we simply have to look around us to understand and appreciate how brilliant it is, however, we appear hell bent on punishing each other, but life is not a contest.

We should never discount a person’s beliefs and feelings merely because it does not match in with ours, and we should never scrutinize at a glance or overlook the reality that we are all diverse, that’s what makes this a diverse planet.

The problem is, we are entirely motivated by fear, and most of us are followers similar to sheep, and we are chauffeured by the familiar sheepdog. Suddenly there is this eruption of terror which the government describes as terrorism and it’s like a whack on the chops and it doesn’t matter whether they are revolutionaries or not, they are still identified as subversives.

There is no life to be seen in violence. Each introduction of violence brings us nearer to heaven or hell, depending on what you believe in. Whether it’s the mundane brutality we do to our bodies by eating noxious food or drink or the sheer brutality of child molestation, domestic hostilities, life-threatening hunger, alcoholism, or state terrorism.

Generally, nobody desires to wage war on one another, however, we do it so effortlessly, and we expect conflict before its even here because like Chinese whispers the government make us desire, like an extreme itch and it’s an element of our daily life.

We first encountered the infidels in the name of our faith, then Communism, and presently in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our reasons for global control forever alter.

We don’t require justification to wage war, we simply make one up as we go along, like fools that rush in and all because of hardened rebels, Muslims, however, not all Muslims are revolutionaries, though there are some badass insurgents out there.

Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people, and it makes people very highly strung but governments use this to their advantage along with media coverage. It’s utilized as a warning to people that they are at risk, but we are in danger each day, wandering across the road, taking a trip on a plane, in fact, we are seemingly less inclined to get killed by a revolutionary than anything else.

This fanaticism is what encourages terrorism, and this is exactly why Muslims need to play an actual part in fighting hate speeches and stimulus to terrorism and extremism in their mosques and it’s now obvious that not all Muslims advocate subversives, and it’s imperative that those that don’t should make a stand.

When a person is suicidal, it’s not always what people imagine. Being suicidal doesn’t suggest that they have a plan to hurt themselves. Nevertheless, it can still indicate that you feel suicidal, and for some people, it can be a permanent burden.

People consider things like suicide in such black or white terms. Nonetheless, much like all else, we are so keen to place it into categories, and for some being suicidal plunges into a shaded area.

People who are suicidal can be having the greatest day of their lives, but yet, the suicidal feelings will hover. They don’t have to be in a bad frame of mind to be suicidal, and they will still have those feelings even if they are surrounded by the people they love, or even if they are doing anything that they are enthusiastic about.

They arouse most mornings thinking they’d be better off dead but might be quickly interrupted by a family member or friend, but they still feel it, but try not to give power to it. During the day they are confronted with trials that immediately transform their mind.

Either the suicidal feelings get louder, or they don’t. Occasionally, being suicidal is different than suicidal feelings. It’s an exact feeling. The feeling that you have an itch you can’t scratch, that a dark cloud is covering you. It’s fear and panic, it’s a diverse state.

You’re dying, there’s no air, and coming down from that feeling takes so long you believe it’s futile. You have blinders on and you don’t know what’s going to transpire next. You just have to force through.
And while this reaction is happening, you go through your day, as normal as you can, without feeding the feeling.

Some days are worse than others when you’re not feeling great, and you wake up believing that your family is better off without you. The way people feel isn’t a representation of reality. They know they have something to live for, and they know everything will get better.

They know the feeling will pass.

People with a mental disorder live in obscure areas and gray regions. It’s not something that shuts off and on, it comes in waves, it climaxes and it disappears. However, these reactions are never gone.

They wish more than anything in this world that they would die. No one who hasn’t experience suicide will understand the emotions, it’s difficult to describe to other people, that each and every day, even if everything is great, they still feel suicidal.

Being suicidal is not the same thing as just wanting to die. Of course, if you’re suicidal, you do want to die or, more accurately, to end your misery through death but, if you really want to die, you may not be actively self-destructive. Wanting to die and being suicidal are both dangerous and serious, but they are not the same.

Wanting to die is passive and being suicidal is active. Therefore, being suicidal is considerably more serious. Not to say that a passive desire to die can’t harm you, it can, but being actively suicidal is more of an emergency situation.

The distinction between suicidality and wanting to die? The difference is how a person expresses their emotions. For instance, when you just want to die, you don’t believe that you’re in immediate danger, but you know the feeling and understanding pattern could be a stepping stone to a full-blown suicidality, so need to deal with it and certainly not overlook it.

If on the other hand, you’re actively suicidal, that’s the time when a suicide safety plan needs to be put into place and even a trip to the hospital may need to be arranged and both cases must be identified and dealt with, it’s essential to understand the distinction between a pressing dilemma and a crisis state.

Regardless, if you are feeling both or one of these things, you need to know the treatment benefits. That might be speaking to your therapist or doctor, but unquestionably, speak to an expert. Hopefully, you can successfully talk about your particular situation and your professional can evaluate your current risk for harm and get you the relief that you require.

If you think you may harm yourself or somebody else, call emergency services, if it comes down to your life or a three digit number, your life wins every time. That is what emergency workers are there for.

Everybody feels down at times. The breakup of a relationship or a poor grade can lead to a low state. Sometimes depression comes on for no obvious cause. Is there any distinction between these shifting feelings and what is called depression?

Anybody who has encountered an event of depression would probably respond with a yes. Depression, versus normal sadness, is defined by prolonged and profound moods of sadness and the appearance of specific characteristic manifestations.

This difference is significant since in severe cases, depression can be life threatening, with suicide as a potential result. Depressed people can further fail to live up to their potential, doing badly in school and staying on the social perimeters.

Depression is often overlooked or untreated, the condition usually stops people from taking measures to help themselves. This is sad, as adequate relief is available. Yet, countless professionals get it wrong.

You start off by feeling terrible, and it’s just getting worse. You can’t concentrate, or sleep properly and your appetite has diminished. You feel low-spirited, anxious, weepy and completely worthless. Everybody, even your canine, seems to sense your depression, your doctor has passed it off as a virus.

Diagnosing depression isn’t as simple as you might imagine and it’s as much a dilemma for the doctor as it is the sufferer.

If you have a past history of depression then those problems probably won’t apply to you. In fact, a potential problem, in this case, is that those somewhat obscure physical manifestations that may indicate an illness are wrongly seen as signs of depression.

This is much truer if you don’t present with a temperature or rash or some other obvious physical symptoms. Nevertheless, the focus of this is more towards people who have no prior history of depression.

From the perspective of the patient, it isn’t at all unusual for them to miss the depression objective altogether. A number of the manifestations of depression appear very physical in nature and even if they aren’t we seem hard-wired to look for solutions for the way we feel in a physical form.

Anybody who has experienced, say, the flu or a virus will know how it pulls your motivation and spirits into your boots. It stands to reason that if you can’t recognize an obvious reason for changes in your emotional mood, you’ll begin to look within yourself.

So, you get yourself off for a consultation. You wait and finally, you get your 10 minutes or so. You tell the doctor how you feel. They take your blood pressure, question whether you’ve been feverish, question how long you’ve felt like this, how it’s affecting your work and everyday life.

It seems like they are on to something. Then they state the obvious, something like you must be a little run down, or, that you might need a rest, then perhaps they might take a blood sample, and before you know it you’re thanking them and traveling home.

At home, you think on what’s transpired. Perhaps you’re relieved that your symptoms weren’t recognized as a warning of some unfortunate condition. Maybe you feel a little better because you’ve managed to see a health professional and say things previously unsaid? Or maybe you feel frustrated because the very thing you were conscious of, your mood, appears to have been overlooked and you feel no better.

The chance is that your doctor has comparatively limited practice in identifying and treating depression. Well over a quarter of patients seeing their family doctor will experience some form of depression, anxiety or both, and despite your doctor’s professional training, the role of personal opinions could still have some bearing in the way your symptoms are seen or acknowledged.

Now we factor the patient into the equation. With no previous history of depression, they have given a menu of reasonably common manifestations that could compare as much to depression as to some viral ailment, or other probabilities like thyroid deficiency, hormonal upsets, iron deficiencies and so on.

Quite appropriately, the doctor has taken a blood specimen and sent it for examination. This will serve to rule out likely physical causes for signs of depression. Maybe where the system sometimes disappoints is the presumption that in determining a physical condition, the mood will lift.

It may, but then again what’s preventing a patient with depression further having a physical problem? In such circumstances, the depressive manifestations may be rejected as a kind of collateral damage rather than as manifestations in their own right that need treating.

There are many ways for a doctor to screen for depression but expert opinion is still a powerful force that can work for or against the patient. Nevertheless, the use of standardized questionnaire methods is more popular now.

The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), for instance, is supposed to be receptive to differences in the severity of depression. This indicates once a determination of depression is made and treatment starts, the HRSD can further lead to the effectiveness of therapy.

Tools such as this and the popular Beck Depression Inventory, which shows the severity of depression, all have their place. Ultimately their use comes down somewhat to the preference of the doctor to apply them and the information given to the doctor by the patient that may influence them.

Some doctors have a finely tuned understanding towards mental illness whilst others don’t seem to or have not as yet acquired the skills, and as patients, we have no real internal tool that states, this is depression, so, therefore, it isn’t so shocking that the physical manifestations seem to take precedence.

After all, countless people communicate with their doctor because of their physical manifestations, not the psychological one’s that accompany them.

Hence, the evaluation of depression isn’t fundamentally clear-cut and can require a little trial and error until a resolution is reached. Nevertheless, many people believe that their psychological manifestations are being ignored, maybe since they display with both physical and emotional manifestations, therefore they must speak out, or even contemplate changing their doctor.

Doctors can be pretty oblivious to their patient’s feelings, and frequently the patient gets overlooked since the doctor thinks that they know enough to make a judgment, however, that is nonsense and complete drivel because it is the patient that is suffering, and they know their manifestations better than anyone else.

Numerous people go into their doctors with an ailment that requires consideration, and they get told they are depressed when really are not, but they can also go to their doctor with depression and their doctor will just brush it off.

If a person goes to their doctor because they feel ill, then obviously there is a reason they feel this way, it could be because they are depressed, or that they simply feel sick, and any sensation of not being well should be examined, not merely swept under the rug because the doctor just does not have the time or tolerance to dispense with it.

How doctors warrant sending their patients home with a pill for depression is beyond me, particularly when you’ve gone in there feeling like you’ve been run over by a truck, and I know that a doctor’s surgery can get really congested and that every consultation a doctor has with his patient is timed, but actually that’s just crossing the line.

Doctor’s might not be able to ridicule the patient, but they can unquestionably ridicule their illness and sprinkle the patient with despair because they can’t get anyone to listen, particularly their doctor who should be the one supporting to help them.

It appears these days that we can scream as much as we like, but we are never heard or taken seriously, whilst other people whisper in the darkness stating that the person is not genuinely sick, they are just pretending.

People with depression don’t fake it and doctors should conduct themselves in the proper way when dealing with a patient that has depression. The point where a patient goes to their doctor and says they are depressed, sirens should be sounding in that doctor’s eardrum.

I don’t think any of us want to be depressed. Depression is more than just feeling miserable or fed up for a few days. Most people go through phases of feeling down, but when you’re depressed you feel persistently down for weeks or months, rather than merely a few days.

Some people believe depression is a minor thing and not a legitimate health condition. They’re wrong, it is a genuine illness with genuine manifestations. Depression isn’t a mark of vulnerability or something you can snap out of by pulling yourself together.

The good news is that with the right approach and help, most people with depression can make a full recovery. Depression affects people in many ways and can create a broad assortment of symptoms. They range from constant feelings of sadness and hopelessness to losing enthusiasm in the things you used to enjoy and feeling quite teary.

Many people with depression further have manifestations of stress. There can be physical manifestations too, such as feeling constantly worn out, sleeping badly, having no appetite or sex drive, and many twinges and pangs.

The symptoms of depression scale from moderate to severe. At its mildest, you can just feel persistently low in vitality, whilst severe depression can make you feel suicidal, that life is no longer worth living.

Most people encounter feelings of fear, grief or stress throughout hard times. A low frame of mind may get better following a brief time, rather than being a sign of depression. It’s important to seek assistance from your GP if you believe you may be depressed.

Many people wait a long time prior to asking for advice for depression, but it’s best not to delay. The earlier you consult a doctor, the sooner you can be on the way to recovery. Occasionally there’s a trigger for depression. Life-changing events, such as death, losing your job or even having a child, can bring it on.

People with a family past of depression are more prone to encounter it themselves. Nevertheless, you can further become depressed for no apparent reason. Depression is somewhat prevalent, afflicting nearly one in 10 people at some time throughout their life. It affects men and women, young and old.

Investigations have revealed that approximately 4% of children aged five to 16 in the United Kingdom are anxious or depressed. Medication for depression can require a blend of lifestyle modifications, talking treatments, and medication. Your suggested treatment will be based on if you have moderate, mild or severe depression.

If you have moderate depression, your doctor may recommend waiting to see if it changes on its own, whilst watching your progress. This is perceived as watchful waiting. They may further recommend lifestyle measures such as exercise and self-help clubs.

Talking treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are usually applied for mild depression that isn’t changing, or moderate depression. Antidepressants are also sometimes prescribed.

For mild to severe depression, a mixture of talking therapy and antidepressants is frequently prescribed. If you have severe depression, you may be assigned to a professional mental health unit for intensive specialist talking treatments and prescribed medication.

Many people with depression benefit by making lifestyle adjustments, such as getting more exercise, cutting down on alcohol, giving up smoking and eating healthily.

Is it fair that we retain monkies as pets, or in fact any animal, that could mean your dog, cat, pet budgie to name a few? Should we be permitted to keep any animal as a pet, particularly if it’s locked up in an enclosure.

The human-pet timeline is still being put together but it turns out that man’s best friend might also be his oldest. Pets have been harnessed to humans for perhaps tens of thousands of years.

Regardless of when pet ownership sprung up, our deep affection for these animals is still going strong. Americans own some 78 million dogs, 85 million cats, 14 million birds, 12 million small mammals and 9 million reptiles, according to pet industry statistics.

No connection that humans have is actually like the love we form to non-humans. Many of us live with or have lived with an animal at some time or another. Currently, according to the American Humane Society, 39% of U.S. householders have at least one dog, and 33% have at least one cat.

You view hundreds of really delightful and charming video’s and photos of monkies on sites such as Facebook and other similar localities, but animated, smart, eerily human, monkeys are among the countless, animals on our planet.

That’s why monkeys would appear to make charming pets. However, unlike dogs or cats, primates (all monkeys and apes) have not developed over thousands of years to live compatibly with humans. Monkeys are not domesticated.

They are wild creatures ill-equipped to adjust to the unusual world of their human relatives. Keeping primates fit and strong in captivity is hard, costly and time-consuming.

As you consider bringing a monkey into your home, please think about the following:

Never overlook that a monkey is a wild creature. Similar to raccoons, their infant cordiality decreases as they approach adulthood, when they become aggressive and can attack with the slightest provocation.

Most monkeys you view on television or out in public are quite young, adults are seldom seen outside of an enclosure. Even hand-rearing a baby primate does not prevent this actual shift in behavior. In fact, denying a baby monkey of a healthy bond with its mother and family group can result in a lifetime of neurotic behavior.

All monkey homes share something in common, broken lamps and housewares, torn curtains, exhumed house plants, not to mention the distinct smell.

Young monkeys, like all newborn primates, are sweet-natured and loving. However, be prepared for a total transformation of character when your monkey reaches sexual maturity. All monkeys become temperamental as they grow older.

Owners need to be quite sympathetic to their moods, for primates will attack even their primary caregivers, usually with no indication. Similar to humans, every monkey has a diverse nature, some don’t trust newcomers or kids, whilst others will quickly change their loyalty from one family member to another.

Decorating baby monkeys up like dolls can seem compelling. However, as they grow older, most primates decline to permit themselves to be adorned. Those obtained as substitute children are soon discarded when they don’t live up to expectations.

Furthermore, if you’d like to teach a monkey to do tricks, disregard it, except if you are a licensed animal handler. Even then, trainers oust their primates once they reach sexual development and become dangerous, most are developed by the age of four.

Lastly, don’t overlook that monkeys are uninhibited animals who engage in natural pursuits that may upset you, including genitalia performances, masturbation, intercourse and same-sex mounting.

No matter what you may be assured, all monkeys bite. Biting is a primate’s expression of anger and nothing you can do will alter that. Discipline is normally taken as a threat and can have severe results. Furthermore contrary to common knowledge, spaying or neutering your monkey will have limited or no impact on controlling hostility.

Teeth extraction is not only harmful and cruel, it doesn’t eliminate the threat, a toothless monkey can still produce severe injuries. For the stability of both the monkey and people, you need to keep your primate from contact with any and all newcomers, that covers friends of your children, neighbors, and relations.

In many cases, health authorities will kill a monkey that has bitten to examine it for rabies. You should further invest in liability insurance, people who are bitten can prosecute. Furthermore, make sure you have some kind of comprehensive health insurance for you and your family. A bite on the hand from a grown-up monkey can put you out of commission for weeks.

It’s all really delightful to see monkey’s jumping and bouncing about on Facebook video’s and other localities, but what you have to recognize is the circumstances that they have been taken from, and what conditions they might be living in with their masters, and also how they have come to be having a monkey in the first place.

You also have to remember that every year in the United States more than 105,000 primates are confined to laboratories, where they are injured and killed in invasive, disturbing, and terrifying experiments.

Whilst it is well known that nonhuman primates are sensitive, smart beings who share various major biological and psychological traits with humans, these powerful characteristics, sadly, make them choice game for experimenters, who use them as if they were disposable pieces of laboratory apparatus.

Primates violated in tests are raised in government or commercial facilities, born in laboratories, or caught in the wild countries such as China, Cambodia, and the island of Mauritius. Babies born in laboratories are violently ripped from their shrieking mothers and permanently sequestered from them, normally inside three days of birth.

Various studies have found that in order to seize primates from their habitats in the wild, hunters usually shoot mothers from trees, drug the animals with dart guns, and then apprehend the babies, who adhere, panic-stricken, to their mothers’ corpses.

Some wildlife dealers catch entire primate families in baited snares. The animals are crammed into small crates with limited to no food or water and are taken to dirty holding stations, where they wait for the long and terrifying excursions in the cargo containers of passenger airlines.

Their destination, laboratories like Covance or Charles River Laboratories, laboratory dealers like Primate Products, Inc, or primate breeding stations.

After suffering a traumatic parting from their families and/or habitats, primates in laboratories are normally restricted to barren steel pens, a far cry from the green woodlands and savannahs where they would otherwise live.

In their natural environments, nonhuman primates can travel for miles, searching for a variety of foods, socializing with family, ascending hills, swaying from vines, swimming in rivers, running across fields, and playing with their mates.

In laboratories, these animals have hardly enough room to sit, stand, lie down, or turn around. The vibrant days full of sensory stimulation that they should be encountering are substituted by days that are void of color, scent, and nearly every other kind of environmental enhancement.

At most, the primates in laboratories are given inexpensive molded toys, damaged reflectors, and the rare wedge of apple or banana.

The study reveals that 90 percent of primates in laboratories display unusual habits that are created by the physical injury, psychological anxiety, social segregation, and barren confinement that they are made to endure.

Many go crazy, rocking back and forth, pacing endlessly in the pens, and engaging in repeated movements such as back-flipping. They even engage in acts of self-mutilation, including tearing out their own hair or biting their own body.

Beyond having their most basic needs and wants that are being ignored, primates confined in laboratories are subjected to severe and traumatic procedures, including the following:

Pharmaceutical experiments:

In these experiments, thick gavage devices are forced up primates’ noses or down the animals’ gullets so that experimental drugs can be pumped into their bellies, even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that animal experiments have a shocking 92 percent failure rate in foretelling the safety and/or effectiveness of pharmaceuticals.

Chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys are given communicable diseases and then utilized as test subjects for experimental vaccines. Even though decades of these tests on primates have failed to create adequate vaccines for humans, monkeys are still contaminated with HIV-like diseases that cause them to experience severe weight loss, significant organ malfunction, breathing problems, and neurological disorders before they die excruciatingly agonizing deaths or are destroyed.

In recent tests carried out by the military, primates were exposed to anthrax and contaminated with botulism and bubonic plague. In antiquated chemical casualty training exercises that were stopped following objections from PETA, squirrel monkeys were infected with nerve agents that made them convulse, even though human-patient simulators exist and produce more efficient training.

These remarkably harsh studies started more than five decades ago when Harry Harlow infamously removed baby primates away from their mothers, giving them only rag dolls or offensive wire mothers as replacements.

Even though we know the adverse implications of separating babies from their mothers, related tests are conducted today at places such as the National Institutes of Health, Oregon National Primate Research Center, Wake Forest University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Washington, where baby monkeys are ripped from their mothers in order deliberately to create psychological trauma and explore the harm that occurs.

In some new extreme studies, experimenters studied the association linking maternal need and if the baby monkeys grew right-handed or left-handed or how it influenced the animals’ alcohol-drinking habits later in life.

In disturbingly common trials at universities across the land, including the University of Utah, the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of Washington, monkeys have holes drilled into their heads, metal restraint devices twisted into their heads, and electrodes implanted into their brains.

Experimenters at Columbia University created strokes in baboons by removing their left eyeballs and utilizing the hollow eye openings to clamp crucial blood vessels leading to their brains. Some animals have parts of their brains destroyed or removed to reduce their cognitive capacity or cripple them.

These sensitive, smart animals then have their bodies immobilized in restraint chairs and their heads locked into place as they are forced to do a variation of behavioral tasks and their brain activity is recorded.

In order to coerce the monkeys to cooperate, they are sometimes denied water for up to 24 hours at a time. When the tests stop, most of the animals are euthanized and their brains are extracted and dissected.

A clandestine network of wildlife traffickers trading baby chimpanzees has been exposed by an investigation. The small animals are taken from the wild and traded as pets. The investigation revealed a notorious West African core for wildlife trafficking, identified as the blue room, and led to the liberation of a one-year-old chimp.

His black hair is disheveled and his dirty nappy rubs the concrete floor as he inches towards the familiar figures of the men who have been holding him captive. The infant chimp torn away from his family in the wild is the victim of a profitable and cruel smuggling operation, exposed by an inquiry spanning half a dozen nations.

In demand as pets in rich homes or as performers in commercial zoos, baby chimpanzees hold a price tag of $12,500, a little under £10,000, but sometimes more. Each acquisition of a live infant like this one imposes a shocking loss on chimp populations.

The common tactic adopted by poachers is to kill as many of the adults in a family as possible. This stops them from opposing the acquisition of the baby and their bodies can then be marketed as bushmeat.

To take one infant alive, up to 10 adults are typically killed. Once caught, these baby chimps then enter a complex chain that extends from the poachers in the jungles to brokers, who arrange fake export licenses and transportation, and finally to the clients.

The animals are in high demand in the Gulf countries, southeast Asia and China, with clients prepared to pay high prices and extra expenses to help bypass international authorities. Furthermore, whilst they may be well looked after whilst they are young, chimpanzees soon become too strong and potentially violent to be kept in a home.

It’s a kind of slavery and when chimps stop being adorable infants, they meet a gruesome end.

They still have 90% of their life before of them. They get locked in some pen and perhaps even destroyed in some circumstances since they have outlived their serviceable pet stage.

The infant chimp found by the BBC had been purchased from a poacher, according to one report, for 300 Euros (£257). However, it was freed en route as a consequence of their investigation, leading Interpol officials and Ivorian investigators to reveal a major trafficking group.

After months of work building connections with merchants across a number of nations, the team hunted down the smuggling leaders to a residence in Abidjan. Acting as proposed customers, clandestine reporters established the baby chimp was at the home before informing Interpol and local police who were waiting nearby.

During the police operation, a tiny opening about the size of a shower cubicle was located, furnished with small blue tilework. Inside it, they found a small chimp cowering in a wooden cage.

The discovery was not just a moment of freedom for the small animal, but also a significant turning point in a lengthy exploration by wildlife campaigners to hunt down the notorious blue room, known to be used as a holding enclosure by traffickers and regularly restocked.

For years, when traders had distributed videos displaying confined infant chimpanzees available for purchase, the same distinguishing blue tilework was visible. Understood to be in West Africa, no-one knew which country it might be in, let alone which city, until the research directed police to it.

This discovery gives new insight into the possible measure of loss sustained by large apes, including chimpanzees.

A predicted 3,000 great apes, including orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees, are lost from the wild every year as a consequence of illegal enterprise. They are either sold, killed during the hunt or die in captivity.

About two-thirds of the apes lost are chimpanzees, an endangered species. Western chimpanzees, like the one freed in Abidjan, are found to be particularly vulnerable and are categorized as critically endangered. There are no more than 65,000 left and apparently far less.

Some 1,800 apes were taken by officials in 23 nations whilst being trafficked amid 2005 and 2011. A quarter of those apes freed were chimps. Though it is unknown how many smuggled apes reach their destinations undetected, the total is almost determined to be greater than previously believed.

The illicit sale in great apes is made feasible by the determination of the dealers and the ease with which international regulations on purchasing and marketing imperiled species can be deceived. Selling of compromised wild animals and plants is tightly regulated under the Cites agreement, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which tries to protect all wildlife under threat.

Under the legislation, chimpanzees, which are given a considerable level of protection, can only be sold overseas under a very restricted number of exemptions. For example, the animals require to have been bred in captivity, which is not known to occur in West Africa, and selling overseas and buying from abroad organizations require to be registered with Cites.

In spite of this, examination exposed that with the appropriate money and the proper links the bootlegging networks can circumvent these controls. Faced with proof, the secretary-general of Cites, stated that whilst he wasn’t disturbed by the efficiency with which false licenses for the exportation of baby chimps were obtained, he was dismayed.

Whilst it is believed the permit system was safe and sound overall, there were cases, particularly in West and Central Africa, where there was an exploitation of permits.

Law enforcement attempts, nevertheless, appear to fall far behind the percentage of illegal trade. Just 27 arrests were made in Africa and Asia in connection with the great ape trade between 2005 and 2011, and one-quarter of the arrests at no time led to prosecutions taken to court.

At Interpol, which facilitates international law enforcement collaboration, animal smuggling is a prime concern, nevertheless, national governments have specified that the funding and investigative attempts should be concentrated on the highest-profile threats, such as the killing of elephants and rhinos.

Interpol’s Environmental Security Unit admitted the district of West Africa had not been a prime concern, and nor had the smuggling of great apes. Since such offenses do not threaten the financial well-being of a country or its political stability, it did not force governments to respond, and the resources are clearly not there.

With the lack of funding, nothing can be done. So with primates, sadly, the facts are not as strong as it could be. States should step up and provide the vital financial funding.

We should be horrified by the way these primates are being treated, after all, they are the closest descendants we have to ourselves. Most of us would not behave towards our own youngsters like this, so why would we behave towards primates in this way?

Primates are worthy of a life of liberty in their own naturalness. They were born in the wild in their own natural environment, with their own parents, and it is revolting that they are taken away from their own natural environment to be locked in enclosures.

If somebody such as poachers were attempting to do that to our youngsters, and our children were being left in solitary confinement in barren enclosures, we would not be thrilled about it but wait, those poachers would have murdered us, the parents, just like they are murdering the parents of these primates.

Nevertheless, we all feel the need to go onto Facebook and glance at images or videos of small sweet monkeys being bathed by youngsters, and it all looks extremely sweet. I am culpable of doing the identical thing, I am one of those human beings.

These monkeys that you see are not contented monkeys, their parents have been murdered by poachers and they are left in barren pens where in the end they will be tested on and then killed for bushmeat.

This is the pattern of their life, not so nice, is it? Therefore, you can entertain yourself and stimulate yourself, looking at a video that seems syrupy and mushy, so take a peek and have a think about what goes on in numerous laboratories.

Now take a stand, since nothing is always what it appears, and you might be drawn to such videos, yet the end result is this primates demise. I estimate that’s not as fragrant as you first believed since I’m certain your wish is not death to these poor primates…

 

Processed foods in America contains substances that are banned in Europe. Mountain Dew and Fanta actually contain flame retardants, and the same additive seen in Pop-Tarts is further used in antifreeze.

These ingredients have beef burgers with growth problems, organ damage, birth defects, seizures, schizophrenia, so why are these additives permitted? The FDA maintains these chemicals are safe in small doses. Nevertheless, it doesn’t end there. It’s up to the companies to determine whether ingredients require government permission.

As a consequence, thousands are on the shelf that the FDA hasn’t studied. Meanwhile, in Europe, regulators would sooner be safe than sorry. All ingredients need government endorsement before use and they have a greater standard for what’s permitted. A chemical which induces cancer has been detected in a broad array of household name food commodities from sliced bread to crackers, beefburgers, and cheese.

The Food Standards Agency declared a warning about some foreign-made Chinese soy sauce commodities which were above recommended safety levels for the chemical 3-MCPD. However, it has now surfaced that a vast number of other processed foods, made and sold in Britain, are above the same boundary.

The discoveries have come from an independent watchdog, the Food Commission, which alleges that the British authorities have deceived the public. Comparatively high levels of the chemical were detected in popular labels such as Mother’s Pride, Jacobs crackers, John West, Kraft Dairylea and McVitie’s Krackawheat.

The same research further observed relatively large levels in a variety of supermarket own-brands, including Tesco char-grilled beef burgers, Sainsbury’s Hot ‘n Spicy Chicken Drumsticks and digestive biscuits from Asda.

 

The chemical concerned has been linked to liver cancer and is thought so serious that it has a safety limit of just 20 micrograms per kilogram (mcg/kg).

That limit has so far been confirmed only for soy sauce commodities, however, the same figure is anticipated to be implemented to other foods as the additional investigation is carried out.

Last month the FSA ordered stores to rid their racks of 18 labels of soy sauce and related merchandises, mostly shipped from China, Hong Kong, and Thailand, which were above the 20mcg/kg threshold.

However, the Food Commission is concerned that the FSA has not taken the same action upon the multitude of other foods which contain 3-MCPD above the same limit.

Asda’s 50 percent less fat cream crackers contained 134mcg/kg, which is more than six times the threshold set for soy sauce. Tesco’s similar brand had a reading of 107.

Other high readings came from Jacobs Continental Pecan Toast, at 88, McVitie’s Krackawheat at 87, and John West Flat Fillets of Anchovies in olive oil, at 81.

A number of the commodities are unlikely to be consumed in great amounts on an everyday basis, nevertheless, the presence of the chemical in Mother’s Pride bread is more disturbing.

The Food Commission named 26 everyday commodities which contained the chemical at more than 30mcg/kg from a study led by the FSA, the Government’s watchdog.

If any of these commodities had been soy sauce they would have been withdrawn from sale.

It is thought that soy sauce is responsible for around 20 billion micrograms of 3-MCPD in our diets, bread, crackers, and burgers solely are responsible for almost 50 billion.

There is no reason to hit on soy sauce companies, making one rule for them and different for somebody else.

In the United Kingdom commodities should be regulated as heavily as shipped merchandises, so that customers are shielded from harmful manufacturing methods wherever the food comes from.

The Food Standards Agency announced there was no need for public fear or any menace to the safety of customers.

Of course, there is a threat to the safety of customers, particularly when consuming them, we are putting one foot in the grave. It shouldn’t matter how much of what is within the feed and we are not psychic when we put the food into our mouths, consequently, it is imperative that companies put, what components are in the food on the front of packages.

How businesses have the balls to sell us this complete crap is way past me, but of course, we don’t have to consume it, however, it’s in almost all of our foods, if not all of our foods and it’s gradually destroying us.

We are not visually impaired, of course, we know what’s going on with our food, but its been going on for such a long time now that we can’t even recollect when it began to be bad food, that’s because we were never informed.

As human beings, we actually don’t pay much thought to what we eat, so long as it looks good, and it tastes good, it must be good to eat, how mistaken we are! Consider what goes into your burger at Mcdonald’s, a 100% beef patty that’s seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, covered with melty cheese, tangy pickles, minced onions, and, of course, ketchup and mustard. Duh

 

But what’s really is in a McDonald’s hamburger? I’m so happy you asked.

The McDonald’s hamburger deconstructed

What’s actually in a McDonald’s hamburger? You may not want to know. Let’s take a swift look at what’s in a McDonald’s hamburger as described in their nutritional information. It gives a somewhat inoffensive ingredient listing:

100% beef patty
regular bun
pasteurized process American cheese
ketchup
mustard
pickle slices
onions

Despite what countless Americans believe, generally, people don’t see hamburgers as their average junk food villain. Under normal conditions, I am completely game for a true hamburger. And by real I mean that the beef is grass-fed, the cheese isn’t processed, the bun is sourdough or sprouted, and the condiments are not full of harmful stuff.

Not too surprising, but the McDonald’s hamburger isn’t actually so real. In fact, you have to scroll down their 30-page nutritional information guide to get the complete scary facts.

Let’s get to it, shall we?

What’s really in a McDonald’s Hamburger: The Ingredient Breakdown

100% Beef Patty:

Ingredients: 100% pure USDA inspected beef, no fillers, no extenders. Prepared with grill seasoning, salt, black pepper.

Thankfully, McDonald’s and many other chains recently quit using the pink slime in their beef. However, the vast bulk of fast food beef comes from CAFO (concentrated agricultural feeding operation) cows.

Not only is this awful for the animals and the environment, but eating meat from infected animals will only make you ill. Eat a McDonald’s hamburger and you might be getting a mouth full of antibiotics, hormones, and dangerous bacteria.

Regular Bun:

Ingredients: Enriched flour, bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or canola oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, wheat gluten, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (may contain one or more of the following: sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide), sorbic acid, calcium propionate and/or sodium propionate, preservatives, soy lecithin.

Where do I begin? How about we simply look at the length of this ingredient listing. All of this for a bun? Did you know you can make your own bread using only flour, salt, and water? The extra 20–30 ingredients here are components your body doesn’t require.

Let’s look at just a few of the above ingredients:

 

Ammonium chloride, appears delicious right? Did you know it is also an ingredient in fireworks, safety matches, and contact explosives?

Eat up.

 

Ammonium sulfate is used most commonly as an artificial manure for alkaline soils. It’s further in flame retardant materials. Ammonium sulfate stimulates yeast, therefore it helps to get industrially manufactured bread to rise.

The soybean and/or canola oil used here are most likely GMO. There are further foods we should generally dodge for a number of reasons.
The high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), for, is not natural.

Furthermore, since it’s in so much of our processed foods, not only is it difficult to dodge, but it can be doing significant harm to your well-being. Enriched flour seems inoffensive enough. However, enriched simply indicates that all the nourishment was taken out in the first place.

Processed flours are also difficult for your body to digest, even before the mixture of substances are added to it.

I can’t even get through this entire list. However, I believe you get the point. Nothing very normal or real here.

Ketchup:

Ingredients: Tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, salt, natural flavors (vegetable source)

As if HFCS isn’t enough. Let’s combine some regular corn syrup to the process. Not to mention that most corn is GMO. Did you know that recently the first long-term research on the impacts of GMO was released?

You can see it here. The part that should freak you out, massive growths in rats who are fed GMO corn for two years. What do I mean by massive? Check this out:

That’s after two years. GMOs have been in our market for 20 years.

Let’s discuss the natural flavors. What does that actually imply? For me, it’s Frankenfoods. The phrase natural flavors can be applied for a number of not-so-natural and definitely not-so-healthy ingredients covering stuff like MSG, Aspartame, and insects, yes, insects.

Mustard:

Ingredients: Distilled vinegar, water, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice extractive.

These items might seem familiar. Except for perhaps spice extractive. What does that mean? Read this and try to figure it out… a little iffy for sure.

Pasteurized Process American Cheese:

Ingredients: Milk, water, milkfat, cheese culture, sodium citrate, salt, citric acid, sorbic acid (preservative), sodium phosphate, color added, lactic acid, acetic acid, enzymes, soy lecithin (added for slice separation).

Let’s just begin with the name. I mean, come on. Cheese is milk’s opportunity for continuity and pasteurized processed American cheese really sounds gross.

Why are we messing with something so great? Pasteurization destroys existing enzymes. Though in this case, it’s plausibly beneficial because it can also remove the dangerous material that comes from milk from sick cows in horrific factories.

With all the combined colors, preservatives, and other goodies I think I’ll skip the cheeseburger.

Pickle Slices:

Ingredients: Cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, alum, potassium sorbate (preservative), natural flavors (plant source), polysorbate 80, extractives of turmeric (color)

 

Another handful of chemicals. Let’s just highlight the polysorbate 80 for a while. Overall, this chemical is deemed safe and well tolerated. Though a tiny number of people may be sensitive to it, and it may be detrimental to people with Crohn’s disease.

However, don’t despair, that only affects between 400,000 and 600,000 people in North America. Damn.

Onions:

Ingredients: Chopped onions.

Lastly, an ingredient list we can get behind. Of course, some may favor organic veggies, provincially produced is even better, to bypass pesticides. However, so far the onions are your protected bet.

So, what’s the conclusion about what’s actually in a McDonald’s hamburger?

Well for an ingredient list with 50+ questionable items, I believe many people will pass on the McDonad’s hamburger, permanently. Furthermore, before you presume I have anything against McDonald’s, understand that this list will resemble somewhat comparable for any fast food hamburger.

Remember, food is what nourishes your body and helps it grow. Feed your body infected food and imagine how you’ll end up? Infected.

Finally, though, it’s not McDonald’s we should be angry at. Nobody is forcing us to consume this rubbish. What we want is to help teach people and let them know what they are putting in their bodies. I believe Joel Salatin states it well:

Help to empower people with knowledge to make healthier decisions. Distribute what you know and be ready to change. Your body will thank you.

If you want to eat better, but are worried by all the information out there, then you’re not alone.

It can take years to figure out this entire healthy eating thing, and that’s because the world is full of misleading information. Each expert is telling you something different, and it appears the lists of shoulds and should not eats are developing quicker than we can keep up with.

We have to be really cautious when choosing and eating foods from the supermarket and even elsewhere. We are simply buying from our supermarkets on the assumption that since it is on the rack that it is safe to consume.

Let’s face it, if it’s on the rack at our regional supermarket then it must be safe to consume, and are we being negligent by thinking this, well, I guess we are since you can’t believe anybody these days.

Everyone is out to make a buck even if it does mean that it’s going to kill a few hundred people here and there in the meantime, who minds, well, the people that got killed off, I imagine!

We need to be making wise decisions when eating food, and to understand what is going into our food that we eat, and to pay attention. The supermarkets are not accountable for what we purchase, they do not put a gun to our heads in an effort to purchase their food.

Nevertheless, they do promote them on TV that they are good and delicious and that we should purchase them, which is all misleading advertisement.

They are not safe for us to eat, and you don’t need to be an expert to realize that if you don’t understand what’s on the label, and it seems all pretty scientific then somehow it can’t be safe to eat.

When I look on a package or a container at my regional supermarket I think like I’m on the set of “Big Bang Theory”, and I’m looking about for Sheldon to come and give me a lesson on what I’m really putting into my body.

Of course, Sheldon is just a fictional character and not real, and neither is the food that we are eating, but then you don’t need to be a brainiac to realize that, yet we still eat it.

We require a climactic shift in the way that our food is marketed and sold, and to make certain our food is not tainted with deadly chemicals that are obviously dangerous to our body and even sometimes deadly.

The people are the scapegoats for these inept businesses that make us victims, and they make their food engaging and pleasing to the eye so that the public think that they are safe enough to eat. Their ads are effective, where they engage on a singular audience to scapegoat.

Everyone has been misled into thinking that this food that we consume is harmless and these companies have no integrity, it’s a genuine shame, however, you have to admire them for trying. Nevertheless, now the cat is out of the bag and their reputation is in tatters, now that it has been determined that this food that they are feeding us is tainted with all sorts of chemicals.

Try saying “no”, well, that is difficult to do since the adverse effects on our well-being have already begun, and have been for a long time, additionally if we do not eat what’s in our supermarkets, what else are we going to eat?

It’s advantageous for these businesses since they know that the only food we can purchase is on the racks at supermarkets all around the globe and they realize that we have twigged onto what they are doing, who is going to bring a lawsuit upon these businesses in a court of law?

Furthermore, who do we really blame, the businesses that market this food, or the corporations that created GMO’s in the first place?

 

The polysorbate 80 and GMO companies are BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Dow Chemical Company, Monsanto, and Syngenta. They are so called since they control the agricultural input market, that is, they dominate the world’s seed, pesticide and biotechnology enterprises.

Our survival is questionable, and there needs to be some kind of retort and somebody needs to acknowledge themselves for this complete and absolute war on food.

The danger that this food is causing, and it’s not only foods, it’s in everything from foods to what we wear, plastics and even UPVC, it’s in absolutely everything we consume and touch, now that can’t be good at all.

Nevertheless, without these things how do we endure? We need food to remain alive, but the problem is, we are not surviving, not like we should be, and it might have come to our notice that this is going on, but we are powerless to do something about it.

It takes 30 seconds to inform the FDA that you have the right to know what’s in your food, and we should be telling our governments that we demand to support forced GMO labelling.

 

Eat fresh, since whilst most food is genetically altered, most GMOs are discovered in processed foods comprising soy and corn. Eat more fresh greens and unprocessed foods. Your body will thank you and you will shun genetically modified foods.

Bypass the five commodities that are most likely to be genetically modified (GMO), except if they say that they are not made with genetically modified ingredients or have a valid claim such as Non-GMO Project Verified, or they are USDA certified organic: Corn, Soy, Canola, Cotton, and Sugar made from beets (sugar from cane is NOT GMO).

Look for the USDA Organic sticker and purchase organic, The National Organic Standards prevent the utilization of genetic modified.

 

Download the True Food Shopper’s Guide from the Center for Food Safety for a list of names with produce that maintain to be made without genetic modification. Or check out Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Shopper’s Guide to Avoiding GE Food.

Spread the word and urge your friends and family to comment on the FDA petition, talk to Congress, and share on Facebook and Twitter.

When uncertain, question it. Ask the company of your favorite foods and demand if they include genetically modified products. This way you get the information you want and you can let the company know how you feel about GMO foods.

The United Kingdom is usually seen as having a prohibitive approach towards genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and crops, nevertheless, lately there seems to have been a gradual change toward a greater approval of them.

Genetically modified (GM) crops are currently not grown commercially in the United Kingdom, but they are imported. These crops are essentially utilized in animal fodder and a few food commodities. There is no general ban on the farming of GM crops, and farming them is only allowed if a robust risk assessment indicates that it is safe for people and the environment.

The government has said that if GM crops are commercially produced in the United Kingdom, it will implement pragmatic and proportionate measures to segregate these from conventional and organic crops, so that choice can be exercised and economic interests appropriately protected.

In the past, there have been remonstrances when GM crops have been seeded, and anti-GM organizations often damage such domains. There are stringent labeling laws in place that demand the revelation of GM commodities if they have been adopted.

The main idea of the United Kingdom’s law and management program is the stability of the people and the environment. Especially, when the government says that it will only agree to the planting of GM crops, the release of other types of GM organism, or the marketing of GM food or feed products if a robust risk assessment indicates that it is safe for people and the environment.

All application for GM commodities is defined on a case-by-case basis and involves consideration of all scientific data accessible, with the stability of public well-being and the environment being the main priority.

Newspaper articles frequently describe the British people as opposed to the use of genetically modified crops and food commodities, with newspapers portraying Britain as a nation that is impenetrable by biotech corporations involved in developing and marketing GM products.

This powerful opposition emerged in the late 1990s when there was a move to introduce GM crops into the country. The people was not open to these crops and, over concerns of cross-pollination, scaffolded protests, and even pulled up known GM crops out of the ground to halt work.

 

GM crops grew widely known as Frankenfoods, and the British people was actively opposed to their growth, marketing, and consumption. A newspaper article reflecting on this time noted that the opposition was mostly directed at the big multinational companies that were perceived as heavy-handed in their approach to the public’s interest as to the safety of eating such crops.

Some newspaper reports even refer to this time as the GM wars, as activists, started on at least one time, by a government minister, supplied themselves with lawnmowers to destroy crops whilst farmers fought back by using their tractors as battering rams.

2007 and 2008 witnessed comparable moves when two fields planted with GM crops were subsequently attacked overnight by activists, who uprooted the plants despite twenty-four-hour protection watchdogs, fencing, and court orders.

More recent GM crop cultivation has been faced with some opposition, but not quite the outrage that was observed in the 1990s. When anti-GM groups in 2012 threatened to pull up the experimental GM crops of public-sector scientists, the scientists recorded a video appeal to the radicals, urging them to not destroy their work.

In this example, the media were sensitive to the scientists and denounced the activists’ threat to pull up the crops as an act of vandalism. Since public sentiment in both Britain and the EU continues to be generally opposed to GM crops, large biotech seed producer Monsanto stated that it was withdrawing all applications for the European Union (EU) support for its GM crops as the EU today is effectively a conventional seed market.

The resistance of the UK to GM crops has been scrutinized by the government’s former chief science adviser, who predicted that Britain has expended about £4 billion (approximately US$7.2 billion) worth of funds.

The prevailing government, headed by the Environment Secretary and Science Minister, is reportedly driving to push the UK towards consuming more GM foods, with the prevailing policy report on GM foods showing support.

Government policy says that, provided it is handled carefully, GM foods could be a means with which to address global food safety and climate change and assist with sustainable agricultural security.

The regulations that dictate the environment and the use of GMOs are essentially based on EU legislation. As stated before, the central part of the national law that controls the environment is the Environmental Protection Act, which gives the Secretary of State with the authority and ability to manage the intentional discharge of GMOs in England.

At the EU level, the central EU directive that controls the discharge of GMOs across the Member States is Directive 2001/18. This was executed by the national authority of England through the Genetically Modified (Deliberate Release) Regulations 2002.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is the leading government department in England for preserving the environment.

England is not shielded from impairment in the United Kingdom, and GMO’s are dangerous, it doesn’t matter what way you put it, or what semantics you tell it in, it’s representative of these corporations to pressure the people into believing that what they are consuming is safe.

Furthermore, they disparage the people by telling them untruths, however, making them look as if they are genuine. Increase that deception and you can then see the austerity of it all. We are in jeopardy of shifting into a nation of controlled Frankenstein’s, to go along with our Frankenfoods, a programmed and controlled civilization of drones, and be careful folks, there might be one just around the corner!

 

Amusing footage has surfaced revealing SNP MP Mhairi Black telling a Conservative MP in Parliament: “You talk s***e hen” as she annihilates the government’s housing benefit cuts.

The clip, which was taken from a parliamentary assembly on Tuesday, reveals the 22-year-old MP criticize the removal of housing benefits for 18-21 year-olds, a move proposed by the government.

She begins off by stating: “The Scottish Government cannot reverse the cuts, or provide an exemption for Scotland.

“Does the minister agree that it is simply ridiculous that young people should suffer purely because this government is obsessed with imposing austerity.”

Tory MP Caroline Nokes responded back by stating: “The Scottish Government already has a wide range of powers which would enable them to alleviate the changes being proposed here.”

 

Black, the junior member of the House of Commons, can be seen in the background seeming troubled and mocking at the MP’s reply.
The video has since gone viral, firing mass discussion on social media as to what the Paisley and Renfrewshire MP really said.

This is the moment SNP MP Mhairi Black allegedly tells a Tory minister: “You talk s***e hen” as they discuss housing benefit cuts.

The clip, taken from a parliamentary gathering, shows the 22-year-old MP criticize the UK government removing housing benefits for 18-21 year-olds.

Well done to Mhairi Black, she’s only telling it how it is,
we want more realistic politicians like her. She’s a good woman. telling it as it is, we could do with more like her because the Tories are destroying the poor daily.

Parental Responsibility is a legal name that implies having all the legal rights, responsibilities, authorities and duties for a child, a child is a person under the age of 18. The meaning and acquisition of Parental Responsibility alter according to where in the United Kingdom your child lives.

Having Parental Responsibility for a child indicates that you are bound for, and have the power to be discussed, the child’s well-being, and education. Parental Responsibility is only lost when
the child approaches 18 years of age (16 in Scotland).

However, sometimes there is tension in the family unit and frequently children leave home earlier than when they should. This appears to be somewhat of a nuisance for the government since it appears to be less than the perfect situation, particularly when the government is having to pay out for teens housing benefit.

This is not a fictional situation, it occurs all the time, kids and parents become estranged from one another and children end up languishing on the streets, where they are often frozen, starving and helpless.

It might look insignificant to the government, but then they don’t have to agonize over their children if they have any kids at all and those that don’t have children are often happy to rent boys out for sex. You see it in the papers all the time, whistleblower and former Conservative party activist Anthony Gilberthorpe states he provided child prostitutes for a sex and drugs party with top politicians.

The more young children under the age of 18 that end up on the streets will be fair game for characters like Anthony Gilberthorpe and any associates like him. Where Tory cabinet ministers take children off the streets and use them for sex parties.

 

Margaret Thatcher knew this was going on 25 years ago, she was also given the names of those involved. There were allegations that saw top Tories having sex with boys and there was a big cover-up.

 

Trawling seedy streets during a Tory conference, Gilberthorpe states he was asked to locate underage rent boys for a private sex party at a prime hotel.

More than three decades later, he maintains he was operating on the orders of some of the most senior figures in Margaret Thatcher’s government. It seems that this is still going on as Keith Vaz faced sleaze probe over rent boy shame as Theresa May reminds citizens must have confidence in MPs.

Makes you question who you can trust in government with all their sexual relationships with rent boys, it’s like Caligula’s tea party, with all their brutality, cruelty, indulgence, and sexual perversity, exhibiting them as mad dictators.

This government is so absorbed with an indulgence that it simply needs to command everybody and everything, while the needy of this country merely continue to exist.

They need to put an end to these absurd cuts in housing benefit particularly when playing with a person’s life, and it might seem macho to prance about like they control everything, however, most of them are limp-wristed master bates…

A student from Eton College was found with more than 2,000 indecent images of kids and inspired them to strip for him on webcam.

Andrew Picard was 17 years old at the time, and he was cited for making pornographic images of children at the renowned private educational school near Windsor, Berkshire.

Attired in a suit with a blue lined tie, Andrew entered a plea to 12 counts of child molestation.

The revolting instance of pedophilia by Eton undergraduate Andrew Picard who took photos of kids as young as two, being sexually violated and coerced into acts of bestiality has sourced indignation.

In spite of being found guilty of making and downloading 2,000 pedophile pictures, he was allowed to walk unimpeded by sicko judge, Peter Ross, because he’d been working through his problems with doctors.

 

Scumbag Peter Ross, what a joke, and of course, many judges are pedophiles too and work in the secret courts of law, where thousands of children are purloined each month by the state from innocent parents.

These children often go missing and are not allowed to stay in touch with their parents. In fact, have the police force even tracked down the several hundred victims that Picard filmed whilst they were being abused?

Who were they and how the hell did he find them all?

In yet another offensive travesty of justice, Andrew Picard was allowed to use his mother’s maiden name of Picard during his trial.

Nevertheless, the former Eton College student avoided jail despite making and sharing shocking indecent pictures of youngsters and bestiality film snips.

Andrew Picard, from Westminster, London, was found with more than 2,000 lewd pictures of minors on his PC at the popular school near Windsor, Berkshire.

The 18-year-old son of a top lawyer sat in his college room sharing the photos in chat rooms and was just 17 when he was discovered sharing material with a covert police officer.

Picard, who was arrested at Eton after his IP address was hunted down, and he owned up to ten counts of child indecency, and at Oxford Crown Court was given a ten-month prison term, suspended for 18 months.

He was let off getting a prison sentence after being lauded for his work with doctors in the past year to address his offence, but, this was declared a fringe benefit of his advantaged position.

The violations dated from January to February last year when Andrew Picard made pornographic pictures of children and shared them through chat messages on Skype.

Myriads of pictures and snips were found on Andrew Picard’s PC and hard drive that showed acts so revolting that Judge Peter Ross could not bring himself to describe them. Others revealed children as young as two being sexually raped and coerced into having sex with dogs.

The covert officer joined a teen chatroom, for those aged between 13 and 19 years, on February 9, 2015, when he was contacted by a user named ‘AP16MUK’, standing for Andrew Picard, aged 16, male, from the United Kingdom.

Andrew Picard communicated with the covert officer inquiring if he wanted to view images of boys and girls his age, naked? Boasting of having hundreds of videos, Picard added the officer on Skype and shared dirty pictures of a boy aged ten and girls aged eight and 14 years.

Asking the covert officer for proof that he was aged 14 years as he stated and not some old man, Andrew Picard finally shared a video of his own appearance.

His IP address directed police to the Eton school in Berkshire where the staff was able to identify him as a student. He was then taken into custody from school on suspicion of distributing indecent images of kids.

Andrew Picard admitted one count of possessing vulgar images of children, one count of making indecent photographs of children and eight counts of distributing lewd photos or recordings of a child. Detectives obtained 1,185 indecent photographs and videos on his PC and on hard-drives taken from his school room.

They further discovered chat accounts from the chatrooms where Picard bragged about the quality of his videos and asked users who claimed to be as young as 14 to trade naked shots of themselves for improper videos he would provide.

It was this style of Andrew Picard’s offending where he would post photographs in revenue for the user to strip, showing him their underarm or crotch. There are exacerbating features where the kids are very young, in apparent torment and torture, and where a number of pictures were shared.

Dressed in jeans, trainers, and a navy jumper, brown-haired Andrew Picard pressed his eyes shut as Judge Peter Ross described some of the offensive Category A material discovered in his possession.

One of his videos showed a girl as young as three being sexually violated, whilst others revealed young children being made to have sex with dogs.

Sallie Bennett-Jenkins, QC related her client’s sincere regret and steered to the excellent work he had been doing with doctors in the past year, undergoing regular therapy with several doctors and therapists.

This was a young and very smart individual who hoped for a future. He was able to have this opportunity to solicit help and this was something Andrew solicited for himself, by himself.

Of course, he sought this for himself, because he was aware that if he didn’t he would either go to prison or an extremely high psychiatric unit at some institution. Therefore, he endeavored for the lesser option, that way he could look apologetic and keen to change his ways, essentially like a payoff.

Furthermore, it did pay off, the judge let it slide with a suspended sentence when this sick degenerate should have been given a prison sentence and it simply proves how corruptible people can be when they should be harsher when giving out punishment to such a sick person.

Saving Andrew Picard from jail, Judge Ross announced that a term of incarceration would destroy the excellent work he had done in the past year undergoing extensive counseling.

Picard should be in isolated confinement, just so that he can ponder on what he did to these poor children, and how this will affect them for the rest of their life. Has nobody given a thought about how this will affect these children, or does nobody care?

There being will never be the same, they have been burgled of a childhood that should have been a functioning pleasure and not the application of a sexual nature. There is a line you never cross when it comes to kids, there is no permission for this kind of sickness, whether it be with children or adults that do not give their consent.

Still, this man has been allowed to go free with some suspended sentence simply because he went to a shrink and talked about his difficulties like he was the victim, and that makes it all right. Is it okay that these kids have to go through their whole life reliving the moments for the rest of their lives?

It was stated that the accused Andrew Picard was a privileged young person, and his parents were definitely wealthy enough to send him to school at Eton. Furthermore, how he found his way into this disturbing environment, the cosmos of chat rooms and trading this material, was not understandable.

There are lines that children should have when joining the cosmos of the world wide web, and that’s parent control. There are blocks for parents and schools to utilize so that their children do not use these kinds of sites, however, the stumbling block is that parents and teachers don’t always bother to make use of those restrictions and boundaries.

Simply because some people have money and are rich does not indicate that their children are inaccessible to the dangers of society, whether they be an outside force and power, but also through the web as well, both are just as bad.

Maybe we shouldn’t be too discordant on Andrew Picard, however, nobody put a shooting iron to his head. However, his parents and teachers should have been more mindful of what was going on in the life of this young man, particularly when using a PC.

What should bother us more is what was going on in this adolescent boy’s head when he was doing this kind of stuff, surely he must have realized in his head that it was illegal and morally depraved? Furthermore, if he did not realize it was wrong, will he in the future go onto other more dangerous stuff?

He was an apparently charming fellow in the first half of his life. An ordinary American who made his wealth by marketing hardware and software worth billions, growing into a global symbol and a living model of the American Dream.

However, in the second half of his life, he coupled up with the world’s elite/Illuminati and happened to decrease the world’s population by billions, and he meant business. He quickly became one of the most notorious depopulation activists, speaking on genocidal vaccines, conducting vaccination crusades that crippled and killed many people in third world nations, creating GMO mosquitoes that could carry and inject harmful diseases, and he’s continually gaining new ways of delivering his sick ideas.

We are, of course, talking about Bill Gates, the man who recently drove the population control agenda one step further, when he announced the development of a remote-controlled contraceptive microchip, which can be inserted under the skin and last up to 16 years.

 

The microchip Illuminati under the skin, it will begin to deliver a periodic dose of levonorgestral, which is a hormone utilized to inhibit pregnancy. According to the Gate’s Foundation, a woman can decide when to deactivate or reactivate the chip utilizing a wireless controller, however, viewing the Illuminati history of Bill Gates’ involvement in depopulation, we would be stupid to believe them.

In the subsequent TED Talk, Bill Gates demonstrates the increase of CO2 amount produced by a large number of humans being alive and breathing. The world now has 6.8 billion people. Now if they do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, and reproductive health services, they could reduce that number by maybe 10 or 15%.

The remote-contraception idea may appear fancy and cool at first until you recognize that the microchip can simply be inserted under the skin of millions without their awareness and permission, and used as a population control tool.

Even more troubling, several years ago in the Philippines, the powers that be didn’t even bother hiding their sick agenda, and coercively embedded RFID-like microchips into who-knows-how-many people.
Now, please attempt to visualize what the elite-Illuminati can and will do with this sort of technology, and the extreme compression of Earth’s population is one of their open agendas.

The chip that one day may dominate our numbers. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology said the implant would have to be encrypted to shield wireless data flow and keep it secure. The chip’s size is 20mm x 20mm x 7mm and reservoirs of the hormone are stored on a 1.5cm-wide microchip inside the device.

The birth control microchip would hold almost two decades worth of a hormone usually used in contraceptives and administer 30 micrograms a day, according to a report from the MIT Technology Review.

The concept germinated after a visit Bill Gates made to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) two years earlier, where he asked professor Robert Langer if there was any way to turn birth control on and off by remote control. This would save women the trouble of visiting the clinic to have contraceptive implants removed when they wanted to become pregnant.

Robert Langer attached the Gate’s Foundation with MicroCHIPS, a Massachusetts firm authorized to use a controlled-release microchip technology. Since then, the partnership has been active expanding the technology which could see a release as early as 2018.

Based on the evidence that innocent people had been quietly microchipped in the past, it is thought that this microchip has previously been inserted under the skin of many people, without their knowledge.

If you don’t think it is plausible, or even probable, I query if you have viewed his TED Speech. Bill Gates is not at all reticent about his population control objectives. The only questionable thought here is whether or not he would slip it on people unsuspectingly.

Like that’s never been done before right?

Would it be just out of the question for a billionaire with a save the earth from the terrible human’s environmental agenda to recognize it is doing the world a favour?

People have got to wake up and realize that these globalist chaps like gates and soros do in fact have a depopulation agenda, and the things they are supporting do serve that goal. They won’t acknowledge it openly because then people would see them for the demons they are.

Alternatively, they cover it as humanitarian services, like contraceptives, vaccines, and abortions. How dumb do you have to be to not see it?

The One World Government does endure, and their plan is to depopulate the planet to make it simpler for them to maintain and manage the lessened population. These are not ideas. Our government and other governments have been found doing these very things many times.

However, if you do not study it, they surely are not going to teach it in schools or put the info out there. Analysis just how many times in the last 200 years our government has diffused and/or deceived crowds of people to test out new biowarfare, on our own individual people. The records are there. It is happening.

Bill Gate’s daddy was an attorney and administrator of Planned Parenthood, he is satisfying his father’s dreams of killing millions of people. What a great offspring he is.

 

Those courageous people who enter into judicial actions normally do so because of the possible winnings, guardianship of their children, access to their family’s wealth, are so important.

Most people are uncertain about bottled water, however, it’s the improbable subject of a brutal judicial stoush amid sparkling water company SodaStream and the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), which represents labels including Nestle and Fiji Water.

SodaStream’s newest advertisement, named Shame or Glory, engages the aid of two Game of Thrones’ characters to convey a message that bottled water is harmful to the environment. The clip, which has more than two million views on YouTube, portrays a man purchasing bottled water from the supermarket, only to then find himself busted by Game of Thrones’ Shame Nun. He later gets a dressing down from The Mountain, performed by Icelandic actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.

“Why are you carrying shameful polluting plastic bottles? Don’t you know you’re hurting Mother Earth?” The Mountain asks the man.

“With SodaStream, you can make sparkling water at home, at the touch of a button … without carrying heavy plastic bottles and pissing off Mother Earth,” he says.

More than one billion beverage bottles are used every single day throughout the world, the overriding bulk of that plastic ends up in our landfills, parks, and oceans, according to SodaStream.

Millions of people are already using SodaStream and doing their bit to decrease ocean-killing plastic waste, that’s why SodaStream are the world’s biggest sparkling water brand, and they are hoping that everyone will join the rebellion.

However, The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) demands SodaStream now cease and desist showing the video, contending the ad makes false, misleading and disparaging declarations about bottled water.

Whilst maintaining environmental concerns regarding plastic bottles, the company’s video singles out bottled water products for criticism, but not less-healthy sweet beverages that are also packaged in plastic, such as carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, and juices.

In fact, bottled water has the lowest environmental footprint of all bottled beverages. In particular, the amount of water and energy utilized to create bottled water is smaller than any other bottled drink. Furthermore, all bottled water packages are 100 percent recyclable.

Nevertheless, plastic packages include numerous chemicals, some of which have been distinguished as possibly dangerous. There are two chemicals to keep away from, in particular, bisphenol A and phthalates. Both of these chemicals interfere with animal and human hormones.

Researchers have better distinguished the adverse effects of bisphenol A, pthalates are usually deemed harmless by contrast. However, better safe than sorry. Whether a plastic container has bisphenol A or phthalates in it depends on its type. You can distinguish the kind of plastic in a container by studying the recycling code number.

You usually see Type 1 plastic in bottles for juices, salad dressing, water, vegetable oil, and mouthwash. Peanut butter and pickle jars usually contain type 1 plastic as well. Polyethylene teraphthalate is light-weight, clear and smooth, its makers designed it for a single use only.

Whilst it does not include bisphenol A or phthalates, it does include antimony, a potential human carcinogen. Additionally, dangerous bacteria can build up in it as you reuse it. Polyethylene teraphthalate packages may have the symbol “PET” on them.

Milk bottles, detergent containers, freezer bags and plastic supermarket bags frequently include high-density polyethylene, a comparatively thick plastic. Type 2 plastic neither includes bisphenol A nor phthalates. It is not known to include other dangerous chemicals. High-density polyethylene containers may have the symbol “HDPE” on them.

Polyvinyl chloride contains phthalates that can create reproductive problems in animals and humans. Type 3 plastic can be plasticized or unplasticized, the former is clear and flexible, the latter is more rigid. Food containers usually made with polyvinyl chloride include fruit juice bottles, cooking oil bottles and clear food packaging. Plasticized PVC pipes and siding contain phthalates as well. Polyvinyl chloride containers may have the symbol “V” on them.

Frozen food packaging and sauce squeeze containers usually contain Type 4 plastic since it is pliable and repellent to solvents. Type 4 plastic does not include any identified toxic chemicals. Low-density polyethylene containers may have the symbol “LDPE” on them.

Polypropylene containers do not filter toxic chemicals into foods or liquids. They usually contain yogurt, medicine, drinks, ketchup, and medicines. Type 5 plastic is pliable, hard and semi-transparent and has high stability to solvents. Polypropylene containers may have the symbol “PP” on them.

You should dodge type 7 plastic containers since they may include bisphenol A that filters into their contents. Type 7 plastics usually have the symbol “PC” or “Other” on them. You will find polycarbonate plastics in 3- and 5-gallon water cooler bottles, solid, plastic reusable water bottles, and to-go coffee mugs. Companies use polycarbonate for these purposes since it is practically shatter-proof.

Some kinds of plastic water bottles contain chemicals that may filter into your drinking water. Bisphenol A, or BPA, is one of the most generally cited offenders, and is seen in hard plastic bottles labeled with plastic code “7.”

Other plastics further pose a possible health warning. According to CBC News, Canada outlawed the usage of BPA in October 2008 so the full health effects could not contagion further. Bottles containing BPA are further banned in Japan, according to Scientific American, as of 2010 they are still widely utilised in the United States and other parts of the world.

The BPA used in Type 7 plastic water bottles is linked to a number of possible complexities for expecting women and the fetus. According to CBC News, BPA acts as a faux-estrogen and can produce chromosomal irregularities.

These anomalies are tied to birth deformities and developmental disabilities in utero and childhood. Exposure to these faux-estrogens whilst in the womb can create early onset of puberty and increase the child’s risk of prostate or breast cancer as a grown-up.

It may further influence the eventual fertility levels of a female fetus. CBC News further details possible ties between BPA exposure and hyperactivity disorders and aggressive behaviors in young girls.

Water bottles containing BPA have further been linked to increased incidences of disease in adults. According to CBC News, humans with the greatest concentrations of BPA in their urine are three times more prone to suffer from cardiovascular disease and 2.4 times more inclined to have Type 2 diabetes than people with low BPA concentrations.

BPA exposure is further tied to breast, prostate and ovarian cancer, although further investigation is needed to fully investigate this matter.

Bottles labeled as Type 1 plastic are made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. These are the soft plastic bottles most generally used for bottled water. PET bottles contain no BPA or faux-estrogen but do pose possible health hazards.

These bottles are frequently linked to bacterial contamination when they are re-used. This is primarily owing to the bottle’s design, which makes it hard to properly wash the bottle for reuse. When used Type 1 bottles are tested for cleanliness, 13 percent are found to contain microbes from food or saliva while another 9 percent contain fecal matter.

Proper food storage is essential to keeping it safe to eat. Eating food that has been poorly stored has the potential to make a person ill, especially if that storage container is a plastic that contains hazardous chemicals.

Storing food in plastic bags, created just for that purpose, as essential to keeping food protected. Nevertheless, putting food in any plastic, both food storage bags or other plastic bags, can pose real risks to humans.

All plastic is made from chemicals that have the potential to harm a person’s well-being. The chemicals that make up plastic include BPA and DEHA. Grocery bags are made from high-density polyethylene or low-density polyethylene and are normally coded for recycling as a 2 or 4.

When food is put in plastic bags these chemicals can filter into the food and then be ingested. This also includes plastic wrap, which is made up of comparable components. Over time these chemicals have been linked to tissue changes, genetic damage, chromosomal errors, miscarriage, birth defects, early onset of puberty and hormonal alterations.

In children, chemical leaching can cause damage to their growing immune system and can result in disrupted hormones and behavioral difficulties.

Food in the cupboard should be stored in sealed containers to stop bugs getting into them, including insects and rodents.

Plastic grocery bags are not airtight and should not be used. Food storage bags can be torn into or bit open by insects. Using glass containers is the suggested method for storing food in the cupboard as chemical leaching can happen when food is stored in plastic containers.

When food is not stored correctly, it can grow dangerous bacteria that can make a person ill. Food must be stored in sealed receptacles in the refrigerator to stop bacterial contamination. That which is not wrapped properly can become infected with bacteria from other food in the refrigerator that has already spoiled and can spread it as well.

Additionally, meats that are not in sealed wrappings can trickle onto other foods, infecting them with food-borne pathogens like E.coli or salmonella. Plastic grocery bags and food storage bags can break or be torn when moving food around in the fridge, which generates conditions that can spread and grow bacteria.

The IBWA says people should not be shamed for making smart and healthy beverage choices, and they should be praised. Water is invariably the best and healthiest option for hydration, whether from a bottle, a filter, or the tap and seemingly people are making considerable attempts to select healthier foods and beverages.

Ah, but is this, in fact, true? We appear to be in a period of drinking from something that is obviously not healthy for us, and all that we drink from, appears to have some sort of contagion in it, or that purges from it.

Even the water that we drink from our household faucets at home has poisons in it.

Typical Tap Water Content:

Chlorine: Chlorine in Tap Water is Safe to Drink. There has been a large amount of press recently promoting new water filters for faucets, showers, and whole home systems. As a marketing strategy to increase selling of these products, advertisers have been overplaying an unconfirmed risk related to drinking water chlorination.

Fluorine compounds: Fluoride is one of the most poisonous substances known to man, yet based on its inclusion in virtually every brand of toothpaste, however, the American Dental Association believes it’s okay to use fluoride for preventative dental care. Other products, such as bottled water, infant formulas, and even vitamin supplements, now include fluoride.

Trihalomethanes (THMs): Trihalomethanes (THMs) are chemical compounds in which three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. Many trihalomethanes find uses in manufacturing as solvents or refrigerants. THMs are also environmental pollutants, and many are considered carcinogenic.

Salts of: arsenic. radium. aluminium. copper. lead. mercury. cadmium.

Arsenic poisoning is a medical disease that happens owing to raised levels of arsenic in the body. If exposure happens over a short span of time symptoms can include vomiting, abdominal pain, encephalopathy, and watery diarrhea that contains blood. Long-term exposure can result in thickening of the skin, darker skin, abdominal pain, diarrhea, heart disease, numbness, and cancer.

Barium: Barium carbonate does not dissolve in water, but does dissolve in the stomach, it can further generate damaging health outcomes. Eating or drinking excessively large quantities of barium compounds that dissolve in water or in the stomach can create modifications in heartbeat or paralysis in humans.

Water is good for you.

Water makes up about 60% of our entire body weight. 75% of our brain is water, 70% of our muscles, even our bones are 31% water.

Every system in our body depends on water. Water transports nutrients to your cells, it washes poisons out of your organs, increases our metabolism, controls blood pressure, protects and moisturises our joints, the list goes on.

When we don’t drink enough water, everything in our body slows down. Even pretty moderate dehydration can strip us of our energy and make us feel tired throughout the day.

When we drink plenty of water and we are well hydrated, it will give us more energy, lift our mood, assist is to lose weight and grow muscles, help us perform better at work, alleviate headaches, make us look younger with healthier skin, lessen the risk of cancer, the benefits really do go on and on.

It’s odd then how we are all so concerned about eating healthy food but give limited or no consideration to whether our water is healthy or not.

The fact is, most sources of drinking water, are far from healthy.

Although it’s better to drink this water than to avoid it and die of dehydration, but it’s a little unsettling knowing that with each glass you drink, you’re taking in hundreds of different unregulated, unfiltered chemicals and poisonous waste products.

Government and state laws in the United States don’t require any testing and haven’t installed safety goals for drugs in water. In 2008, the Associated Press began a wide-scale, 5-month study into pharmaceutical contaminants in drinking water.

They found drugs in the drinking water of 24 main metropolitan regions, comprising South California, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington DC, Tuscon, and Northern New Jersey.

Traces of drugs found incorporated antibiotics, mood stabilisers and anticonvulsants like carbemazepine, estrogens, metabolized angina medication and tranquilizers to name a few, and it’s correct that the concentrations of these drugs and chemicals are small, calibrated in parts per billion or trillion, considerably below a medical dose.

Water providers proceed to assert that these levels are safe, but the fact is, scientists, don’t yet know the outcomes of decades of exposure to low levels of multiple drugs. One thing we do know is that scientists are becoming more concerned with new studies which reveal startling effects on wildlife and human cells.

Numerous scientists think that chronic low-level exposure to these drugs and other poisons could be subtly bringing on allergies, creating nerve damage, hindering productivity and growth, destroying the brain and changing behavior, causing cancer and a number of other enigmas and conditions.

Within 1999 and 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey examined 139 surface waters everywhere in the U.S. They found that 80% of these waters contained endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chiefly estrogens. What’s more troubling, is the impacts these estrogens are presently having on wildlife. Fish, in the very waters we end up drinking, are changing sex owing to exposure to excess estrogen.

In 2004, researchers gathered and analyzed a specimen of white sucker fish in Boulder Creek, Colorado. Not only did they discover five times more females than males, but half of the male fish had a female tissue, and the whole population was unproductive.

It’s curious how we can see a comparable trend in humans, with decreasing sperm counts in men, lower testosterone levels than in past generations, increasing incidences of sterility, and more females being born than males. Although to date, investigation hasn’t revealed a straightforward connection connecting the water we drink and feminisation in humans, there’s lots of obscure data that implies estrogen in our drinking water is at least playing a significant part in our feminisation as a species, simultaneously with all the other sources of estrogen we’re exposed to on an everyday basis.

A lot of it comes from the use of the oral contraceptive pill by women. The pill induces women to pass large quantities of estrogen through their urine, which makes its way to our water systems. Depending on which country you look at, up to 60% of women in the West are on the pill, and numbers in the East are growing fast.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in older women is further to blame, and with people living longer and longer, it’s becoming a growing interest. In a 2011 investigation published in BMJ Open, researchers hinted there might be a connection linking oral contraceptive usage by women, and increasing percentages of prostate cancer (estrogen-sensitive cancer) in men, owing to the excess estrogen from women making its way into our drinking water.

Although women on hormone pills aren’t just the offenders. Estrogen is used almost everywhere now. Vast quantities further come from industry, agriculture, household commodities, and other pharmaceuticals.

The menu of many manifestations and conditions estrogen dominance can create, is enormous. Listed some of the more general effects below. For a more comprehensive list, go here.

In Men and Women In Men In Women

Low sex drive
Weight gain
Muscle loss
Migraines
Depression
Fatigue
Skin problems such as acne, dry skin, and psoriasis
Allergies
Memory loss
Headaches
Insomnia
Impaired fertility
Gynecomastia (man boobs)

Reduced sperm count & testosterone
PMS
Uterine fibroids
Breast tenderness
Enlarged breasts
Fibrocystic breasts
Increased risk of breast, endometrial and uterine cancer
Increased risk of miscarriage

It’s no accident that the above manifestations and conditions are becoming more prevalent over time as more chemicals are being pumped into the environment.

Tap water is far more controlled by the government than bottled water.
Under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, public waterways that equip you with tap water, have to submit annual quality reports that show references and levels of controlled contaminants, and their possible health consequences.

On the other hand, bottled water companies who market their goods to millions of people, are not obligated to make any of this public. With most labels, we have no concept where the water comes from, if or not it’s refined at all, and what level of contaminants the water carries.

In recent years there have been a number of investigations carried out by self-governing non-profit organisations, that have reported some startling truths about bottled water. In 2008, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) examined 10 leading labels of bottled water and discovered toxic contaminants in every label that was examined.

There was a total of 38 toxic pollutants, incorporating trihalomethanes, pharmaceutical drugs, caffeine, solvents, arsenic and radioactive isotopes. In a 2009 investigation printed in the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research, researchers discovered notable quantities of estrogen in 78% of plastic water bottle brands.

In addition to contaminants in the water itself, bottled water further contains phthalates, a class of plasticizer that drains into the water from the bottle itself. Phthalates act as potent xenoestrogens, and have been connected to many estrogen-sensitive cancers and other maladies in humans.

Although standards are gradually changing, you have to ask yourself, keeping in mind that bottled water costs 1,900 times as much as tap water, is it actually worth spending the additional charge for water that is at best, just as tainted as tap water?

It is not, therefore, in the public interest to dampen consumption of bottled water. One wouldn’t assume that it’s a safe, healthy, and convenient choice, but by far safer than bottled water.

SodaStream argues the IBWA is just concerned it will lose profits if people quit purchasing bottled water.

After all, everything that we consume or drink is a money making scheme, a method to make money and they are not interested what’s in it, or how it will affect you. It’s simply a plan to make you waste more money on a commodity that’s going to give them good profits.

We could assume that SodaStream is the better commodity to purchase in terms of hydration, and perhaps it once was, when SodaStream came with glass bottles, and not plastic ones. They are not seeking to protect the planet, they are striving to save themselves from going broke, there is no rescuing the planet, we have destroyed it all on our own with our indulgence.

I’m not telling you that SodaStream is the better choice. If you just want fizzy water, like myself since I can’t stand tap water, but if you just want purified tap water, you can do that at home in the comfort of your own kitchen, you don’t need to be going out and purchasing gallons of bottled water because you have been told its better because it’s not.

I don’t know what’s more insulting, the idea that a large corporate organisation believes it can quell a modest business or that the information they want silencing is that plastic bottles represent a genuine menace to the environment.

This is a profiteering group, whose monetary profits are a direct result of the two hundred million plastic water bottles their enterprise makes every day and wants to quell SodaStream from telling the
facts.

Even more disturbingly, the industry wants to persuade customers that there is something wrong with the high-quality, tasty tap water that is accessible in most homes.

I’m not certain about the high-quality, or delicious tap water, but its unquestionably a need in our daily lives, and there are loads of businesses out there that want to jump on it and make a whacking profit, but the even more alarming thing is that people believe them, and they go out there in their drones and buy it, bottles and bottles of it since they genuinely think it’s better for them.

I was previously in America visiting a colleague just outside of San Francisco. I had been to America before so knew that I could drink the tap water, however, when I cracked open my colleagues fridge it had bottles and bottles of filtered water in there, and precious little food.

When I questioned why they had so much bottled water in the fridge, my colleague was completely shocked that I’d directed such an inquiry. My colleague tutted and announced that she wouldn’t drink the tap water because it was full of contaminants.

That was about 20 years ago, and I suspect my colleague is still doing the same thing, crowding her fridge with loads of bottled water that she’s been absorbing for all those years, without any idea of how it could hurt her.

The reported and actual menace we face is from single-use plastic bottles, and if anybody is attempting to deceive purchasers it is the IBWA, not SodaStream in its crusade. So, why should they be silenced?

The video that I viewed was both really entertaining and put the point across very well, not so much the profanity, though… however, still pretty entertaining.

Hena Akhter’s last words to her mother proclaimed her integrity. Be that as it may, it was past the point where it was possible to save the 14-year-old young lady.

Her kindred villagers in Bangladesh’s Shariatpur neighbourhood had as of now passed harsh suffering on her. Liable, they announced, of having an unsanctioned relationship with a married man. The imam of the village mosque demanded the fatwa or religious law, and the penalty, 101 lashes conveyed instantly, intentionally in broad daylight.

Hena dropped after 70.

Bleeding and wounded, she was taken to a doctor’s facility, where she passed away seven days after the fact.

Amazingly, an underlying medical report pointed to no injuries and deemed her death a suicide. Hena’s mother and father demanded her body be laid uncovered. They needed the world to know what in fact happened to their little girl.

Hena’s mother and father hailed from rustic Shariatpur, mismatched by murky waterways that loan waters to rice paddies and lush vegetable fields.

Hena was the youngest looking of five children destined to Darbesh Khan, a day worker, and his meaningful other, Aklima Begum. They shared a home built making use of corrugated tin and decomposing timber and had a basic life that was abruptly destroyed a year earlier with the arrival of Hena’s cousin Mahbub Khan.

Mahbub Khan came back to Shariatpur from a spell working in Malaysia. His child was Hena’s age and the two were in seventh grade together.

Khan centered on Hena and started harassing her on her way to school and back, declared Hena’s father. He complained to the elders, who controlled the village about his nephew, three times Hena’s age.

The elders warned Mahbub Khan and ordered him to pay $1,000 in costs to Hena’s mother and father. Nonetheless, Mahbub was Darbesh’s elder brother’s son and Darbesh was asked to let the thing rest.

Many months later on a winter night, as Hena’s sister Alya described it, Hena was walking from her room to an outside toilet when Mahbub Khan suppressed her with cloth, took her behind nearby bushes and beat and molested her.

Hena attempted to get away, Alya stated. Mahbub Khan’s wife overheard Hena’s faint cries and when she discovered Hena with her husband, she pulled the young girl back to her hut, beat her and trampled her on the floor.

The next day, the village elders gathered to discuss the case at Mahbub Khan’s house. The imam declared fatwa, and Khan and Hena were found guilty of an illicit association. Her sentence under sharia or Islamic ruling was 101 lashes, Mahbub 201.

Mahbub Khan succeeded in getting away after the first few lashes.

Darbesh Khan and Aklima Begum had no option but to heed the imam’s request. They watched as the lash tore the skin of their young daughter and she fell motionless to the ground.

What happened to Hena is horrifying, and we all should be ashamed that we couldn’t preserve her life. It’s a vile loss of a life, and it makes your hair curl to think that another human being can do anything so dishonorable in the eyes of any god.

What spiritual being would approve of this kind of act towards another human being is beyond me. This is quite simply relentless harm on another human being, though not unusual in these lands, although, it is extraordinary that anyone could think that this sort of behaviour is normal.

I understand that people act in various ways in different lands, however, murder is murder however you look at it, and to then lie about it after is simply true evil.

Bangladesh is viewed a liberal and moderate Muslim nation, and the national law forbids the use of sharia. Nonetheless, activist and reporter Shoaib Choudhury, who reports such situations, declared sharia is still very much in use in villages and urban neighbourhoods helped by the lack of education and a solid legal structure.

The Supreme Court further banned fatwas a decade ago, though human rights monitors have reported more than 500 cases of women in those 10 years who were punished through a religious decision. Together with the not so many who have declared such decisions have been changed.

Last month, the court urged the government to describe what it had done to put an end to extrajudicial punishment established on the fatwa. It ordered the spread of information to all mosques and madrassas, or religious buildings, that sharia is illegal in Bangladesh.

The government requires making a particular legislation to dispense with such perpetrators accountable for extrajudicial execution in the name of Islam.

Sharia law or Islamic law is the holy law forming part of the Islamic culture. It is taken from the religious teachings of Islam, especially the Quran and the Hadith. In Arabic, the word sharīʿah relates to God’s divine law and is contrasted with figh, which refers to its learned explanations.

The method of its use in present-day times has been a topic of discussion among Muslim traditionalists and reformists.

The traditional hypothesis of Islamic law distinguishes four sources of sharia, the Quran, sunnah (authentic hadith), qiyas (analogical reasoning), and Irma (juridical consensus). Different legal schools, of which the most notable are Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali, and Jafari, developed methodologies for obtaining sharia rulings from religious origins using a system known as ijtihad.

The traditional law differentiates two principle branches of law, Ibadan (rituals) and mu’amalat (social relations), which collectively consist of a wide span of subjects. Its laws allocate actions to one of five classifications, obligatory, recommended, permitted, abominated, and forbidden.

Consequently, some areas of sharia overlay with the Western concept of law whilst others correspond more broadly to living life in accordance with God’s will.

Historically, sharia was explained by self-governing judges (muftis). Their legal opinions (fatwas) were taken into account by ruler-appointed judges who chaired over quadi’s courts, and by mazalim courts, which were controlled by the ruler’s council and administered the criminal law.

Ottoman leaders attained added control over the legal structure by declaring their own judicial system (qanun) and turning muftis into state workers. Non-Muslim (dhimmi) communities had legal autonomy, except in matters of inter-confessional conflicts, which fell under the jurisdiction of quadi’s courts.

The purpose of sharia has become a disputed issue throughout the world, and efforts to force it on non-Muslims have created inter-communal brutality in Nigeria and may have contributed to the breakup of Sudan.

Some Muslim-minority countries in Asia, such as Israel, Africa, and Europe still recognise the effectiveness of sharia-based family laws for their Muslim communities, and there are continuing disputes as to whether sharia is congenial with secular forms of government, human rights, freedom of thought, and women’s rights.

It is true that we should be allowed to follow what we want, however, it becomes improper and way behind the times when somebody is being mistreated and murdered by this process. It is old-fashioned and should no longer be an option.

It might have been given to the Muslim people through thousands of years of teachings via their holy pious text, however, presently it contradicts itself in the 21st century, and people of that society must begin by opening their sights and observing that sharia is way behind the times and that boundaries have to be built.

The United Nations predicts that almost half of Bangladeshi women endure domestic cruelty and many further frequently suffer molestation, floggings, acid attacks and even death because of the nation’s entrenched patriarchal system.

Hena might have quietly become another one of those statistics had it not been for the objection and media recognition that accompanied her death on January 31.

The doctors responsible for Hena’s first post-mortem now face prosecution for what a court declared a fraudulent post-mortem report to conceal the real cause of Hena’s passing.

Public anger sparked by that post-mortem statement induced the high court to request the exhumation of Hena’s body in February. A second post-mortem carried out at Dhaka Medical College Hospital reported Hena had died of internal bleeding and that she displayed the signs of harsh injuries.

Police are at the moment handling an inquiry and have arrested some people, including Mahbub Khan, in connection with Hena’s death.

Darbesh Khan can do nothing else but to ask for justice for his daughter’s death. He took a reporter to the place where his daughter was abducted, and the night she was sexually attacked, where he stood in quietness and took a long gulp of air, she wasn’t even old enough to be married.

Hena’s mother, Aklima, stared vacantly as she talked about her daughter’s last hours, she could barely get the words out. Her daughter was innocent.

Police were guarding Hena’s parents earlier this month because Darbesh and Aklima feared revenge for having spoken out against the imam and the village elders. They had given out the most stringent punishment for their youngest daughter, and they could put nothing past them.

The whole account puts an obnoxious taste in your mouth, and the people that did this terrible thing to this young girl should be penalised and held accountable for what wrong they have done. It will not alter the fact that this girl is dead, but hopefully, it will change things, and make this terrible law void, for good.

Jeremy Hunt has declared that from April this year the NHS trust will be constitutionally forced to verify the immigration status of patients and charge them upfront if they are not eligible for free treatment.

Nevertheless, there is one nurse that will be fighting against passport checks on her ward.

As a nurse, this makes her extremely sad, and as a career, nurses and doctors should be honoured for their personal sacrifice and commitment to an occupation that uses up unlimited hours and low rewards, as well as, the loving work they engage on an everyday basis.

Soon nurses will become figures of fear for people, without any right to good health.

No longer will it be the secure space, the non-judgemental labyrinth, with people who support you in your deepest darkest hour. It will first question your legitimacy to be there, inspect your identification, your history and your priority to health.

There is a particular brutality to a system that pits nurses against patients, that by design will support racial profiling and that will drive many migrant nurses to become border agents.

This nurse works in wards that caters for elective procedures for about 20 cardiac patients every day. The 2011 census information divulges that 17 percent of UK citizens do not hold a UK passport, which means nearly four patients every day are missing their treatment or being confronted with having to establish their acceptability to NHS debt agents.

That’s four additional patients a day who are in considerable danger of having heart attacks, who need a fresh battery for their pacemaker, or who seriously require treatment that will improve their breathing so they can stroll to the shops again. It means a lower level of life for many people, added A&E admissions, and further families destroyed by sudden and preventable mortality.

At the moment doctors are publicly declining to carry out checks and following public participation, and there are reports of a GP surgery in East London agreeing that they will at no time demand to see a passport.

In the meantime, organisations like Docs Not Cops and the Nurses Action Group at Guy’s and St Thomas’s are beginning to stand collectively against the constraints by educating migrants how to get GP services and by providing an information pack to support NHS staff in starting crusades in their own trusts.

As nurses, they can all assist. They can talk to their co-workers and make sure they know about the changes, they can lobby their administrators to vocally turn down the project and put up notices, putting the patient’s mind at rest, and they can make it clear that they will not be checking passports themselves.

There will be no doubt on the amount of bullying response they will get from the administration, nevertheless, if they help each other, they will have to listen. This isn’t the first time nurses will be standing up for the fate of the NHS. In 1983 nurses started a two-month occupation that opposed the closing down of Hayes College Hospital.

In 2004 nursery nurses in Scotland went on strike for seven weeks to end their penury incomes, and more recently, a long-running community battle preserved Lewisham A&E from closing down. For those who don’t work in the NHS, you can help your GP to ostracise passport controls, and get involved in your regional Clinical Commissioning Group and encourage them to do the same, and always decline to show your passport on demand.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege and we must all stand together just like they did in 1983, and in 2004 with the ongoing Lewisham Hospital crusade and to make sure it carries on that way.

The way in which they are handling this is preposterous, and the healthcare system will cave in miserably because of this. Not everybody in the United Kingdom has a passport, not everyone can afford one, and not everybody has been outside the United Kingdom, so would not need a passport.

How on earth are they going to manage this if somebody comes into A&E, are they going to demand to see everyone’s passport, or will they simply challenge the people that look like they are from a different country, who speaks a different language, or looks like they might be a revolutionary?

Consequently, what if you do genuinely live in the United Kingdom, but don’t have a passport, what, you don’t get treatment?

They clearly haven’t examined this extremely well at all, and this operation is laden with a bone of contention.

This country that we call the United Kingdom is filled with numerous people from various areas, particularly London, Birmingham and Manchester where there is a huge population, and these plans that Jeremy Hunt is going ahead with in April will unquestionably bring the NHS to its heels.

Most people have no idea of the actuality on the ground, they are misguided, to say the least. Immigrants don’t have access to the NHS except if they pay National insurance. One woman who can’t be quoted never got access to free health care.

Britons do everything in an extremely moronic way.

Get rid of Jeremy Hunt fast, as the person clearly does not have enough expertise to even clean a hospital toilet.

If you believe it’s not insulting to ask for a passport from a foreigner with a British National insurance card, then everyone must be very cold hearted. One could endure being asked for their National Insurance number, there is some reasoning behind that, but to demand a nurse play border guard is totally wrong.

So in order to get sick, you have to get a passport. Let’s pray children never get sick because you can’t put in an application for a passport until you’re 16 or over.

There was a time we were open with hospitality, and even then it was an extraordinary thing.

Presently, according to the government that we are stuck with, decisions still have to be made.

It appears clear that whilst emergency care should be given at the point of need, in chronic sickness preference should be given to people whatever the case.

This nurse appears pretty extraordinary as she bolsters for all mankind. Sadly, not all of us are a sympathetic gentlefolk.

The NHS has in general been considered as one of the most successful healthcare systems in the developed world. For example, a study correlating the healthcare structures of 11 nations between 2011 and 2013 found that the NHS scored highest on quality, access, and performance.

However, by 2016 the image was becoming quite different. Good access to services and high quality of care were in jeopardy, mainly because of inadequate funding of the NHS, who were presently undergoing the largest sustained decline in NHS spending in any period since 1951.

The NHS had once been modified for inflation, and spending on the NHS had been rising by only 0.9% a year on average, well below the 3.7% growth rate in the UK health service that it has been used to in the past.

Yet even worse, once inflation that is specific to the NHS comes into account, the actual boost in funding is only 0.2% a year.

A number of doctors working in A&E departments across the country were asked to describe how their departments were managing, and they said that they were overwhelmed by underemployment, and said that it’s been like an outright war zone.

The government at the moment, (not considering regulatory organisations), are disregarding the worst hospital conditions in memory.

One doctor on a shift walked into see patients that had been waiting four and a half hours to see a doctor. This means that each patient has failed the breach objective by the time they are seen, and a hard-working staff nurse asked a doctor to take a survey on a patient she was a bit worried about.

The lady was devastatingly sick with a perforated bowel and could have quickly become fatally unwell, but she survived thanks to the observational attention of doctors and nurses, and later the wonderful surgical unit.

The London ambulance service is likewise overwhelmed, they couldn’t give a doctor a transfer ambulance for an emergency case to an 11-year-old with a sight-threatening virus for at least 70 minutes, but the objective is eight minutes, it’s a wonder the child didn’t lose an eye.

Hospitals are decaying and are unsafe on a daily basis, and there were 75 patients in a department with 18 major’s beds, thirty-five of those were medical patients who were anticipating beds, but 20 patients hadn’t, as there were no beds to see them or no team to triage them.

Concerns had been orally communicated through formal emails to the trust, along with incident reports et cetera, but nothing could be done as it can’t be done elsewhere either, and medical professionals were debating whether to resign, because they were worried that soon somebody would have died on their watch and that things were getting totally out of control. Perhaps it had already occurred and they just didn’t know about it.

Lord knows what people are thinking about this nationally, and it frightens doctors and nurses because they have no idea what they are heading for, and when a family member got admitted to the hospital, this nurse was terrified, not because it was that grave but she felt they may not be safe in the hospital.

Hospital staff are getting annoyed that things are being overlooked and swept under the rug. They are vexed that they are left to pick up the pieces and have to atone for a system that they have put their heart and souls into, but not only that, have no authority over.

It has been terrible in A&E departments, there are no beds, and there are more than 20 patients lining up in hallways at any given time. Asking a pregnant woman who is having a miscarriage about her blood loss in a queue is demeaning, never mind asking her in a packed A&E which is packed with noisy drunks.

It’s really not fair to have to practice medicine in this way, but what choice do they have?

Patients are getting poor quality of care, and that’s a fact, not fiction.

So much for calling 999 in a crisis, and then having to wait ages for the ambulance to come, and then have to wait in hallways of the A&E to unload the patients.

Even once you enter the department with said emergency, the patient will be waiting hours for any type of evaluation or treatment.

The conclusion in this degradation is solely to keep patients as safe as imaginable, but errors are being made and this is not sustainable.

This nurse was on call at night for a week at a small district general hospital, and they had to put the hospital on divert.

There were 15 ambulances waiting admission and consultants were doing their evaluations on the back of the ambulances.

A four-bedded resuscitation unit is required to make room for eight patients, but a doctors who had left his shift, came back 24-hours later to discover that some of the same patients were still in resuscitation, and being in charge of the emergency department overnight with roster breaks, had requested a divert for a few hours to enable staff to catch up, simply to be informed that the plans had changed and that the capacity problem presently had to be dealt with internally.

In the A&E department were this nurse works, there is a provision to keep up to 12 people overnight in case the wards are extremely crowded, but there were 27 sick patients all needing hospital treatment who were retained in hallways and the laundry room.

It’s normal at the moment for 20 patients to be there overnight. They are having to send patients home they would sooner accept, with limited to no access to social care.

Everyone is petrified, and everyone is expecting something shocking to happen since no matter how laboriously they work, there are simply too many holes that are opening for patients to slide through.

Stafford is where everything went down several years ago, and in hindsight, we really don’t want that happening again, but it appears the same situation is presently happening, and it’s happening on a national level, and I really hope desperately that nobody that you love or care about needs to be admitted to the hospital right now.

The government won’t accept that there is a problem since it accumulates them billions of pounds in expenditure, and another elderly person that dies is more cash in their pocket, another expecting mother that has a miscarriage is yet another shortfall they don’t have to bother about.

We have to be conscious of the reality that each person that dies in the A&E department is extra money in the government’s pocket and the more people that die, the bigger the smile on their faces.

It’s just a well-mannered way of saying feck off, you’re not esteemed here since your not on the elite list, and we want an elitist culture, and everyone else that is other than elitist is simply riffraff, and not deserving.

We are just the dregs of civilisation, the dossers. Nevertheless, they are far from mistaken because we are human beings, not animals that they can just euthanise when it suits them because we simply don’t pigeonhole into a category that they want us to.

However, they do rank us and distinguish as something else, other than human, and if we are not worth a digit to them, we are not worth anything, and far better off out of the way.

That’s why we are put into social classes, but honestly, why do we need social classes, a pecking system where the elite can lay claim to everything that they want, and do anything that they want, and tell us that it’s socially unacceptable to demonstrate against the regime.

However, it’s all a bogus effort to make you frightened and that’s precisely what most of us are, fearful of the regime, whilst they produce a society of elite theatrical circus animals, that are merely pawns that dance to their master’s tune.

There are those that do, and there are those that converse, but what we must do, is to take part and fight against the government and prevent them from telling us stories that are not accurate, to end the hypocrisy and to assert ourselves, and to resist being told what to do like animals at the zoo, we are not pets.

We must start as we mean to go on, otherwise we will just disappear, or will simply be eliminated from society completely, and we must tackle the problem in the moment! We must remain resolute and challenge, infringe the rules, diverge from the norm.

There is simply not enough staff, and 12 ambulances regularly gathering in ambulance bays is sickening, and in A&E departments patients can wait for up to eight hours, although emergency cases do get examined first, as do strokes, and a triage nurse will pull the sickest from hallways, but sometimes they are still seen in hallways, plus a consultant is assigned to the hallway to assure safety, although I’m certain that some hospitals operate on another concept.

A consultant has been staying overnight, owing to safety concerns, but that is unsustainable, and these poor doctors are burning out, and no one is worried about there being a violation any longer.

The whole system is disintegrating, and on New Year’s Eve, nurses at a hospital requested for a divert when the delay was eight and a half hours long with just 14 ambulances left on the roads in Merseyside, but this is not unusual, and the divert was dismissed, since the delay was not the highest, and every other department was in the same position.

One registrar in one of the busiest emergency departments in the country stated that in the past week it had seen the most busiest day on record with almost 200 people waiting in the department at one point, and it was a five-hour wait to be examined, and a 14-hour delay for beds.

There were people queuing to get a space in resuscitation, and it invariably becomes critical because there is an everyday lack of beds, owing to poor movement of patients backing up the emergency department.

The patients are coming to harm, and there is unquestionably mortalities resulting from the prevailing state of emergency medicine.

It appears that we condemn foreigners for all that happens in this realm. We don’t have enough jobs, let’s condemn an immigrant, or we don’t have enough social housing, let’s condemn another ethnic minority. We don’t have enough beds in our hospitals, or staff, so let’s blame a terrorist!

It’s as if we have ultimately ruled that all our problems have been created by immigrants, with the emergence of UKIP, the gossip of immigrants taking all of our jobs, of engulfing our country which is already loaded and swamping our services.

This has been heard, on doorsteps, even in other locations which do not have many newcomers in the local communities, and of course, immigration, and all other matters related to people coming to the United Kingdom from overseas are legitimate topics of discussion, but it does not mean we all have to agree with it.

Some people are working themselves into a hysteria of hate and mistrust of foreign people, frequently founded on no proof, and this will do us financial damage and make us look and sound bigoted as a country.

Ordinary settlers coming into the United Kingdom did not create countless underhanded ways of lending and re-lending pointless loans to get wealthy people even wealthier, which we now are aware led to the banking cave in, and the near decay of our financial system, but you would believe they did, the way people are piling in.

Foreign students total about £8 billion to the UK financial system, and additionally, in the current climate, we could feasibly get a referendum to freeze them all coming here.

Review of numbers from the Office for Budget Responsibility predicts that if we reduce net immigration to the United Kingdom, it would cost the economy £18 billion over the first five years, and in the current political climate, we could get a majority to end all migration, even if it costs us billions, and sends us into a financial recession.

This is not all about prejudice, in spite of the fact there will be some of that. This is about numerous taxpayers expressing concerns about the concept of other people coming from elsewhere and using our resources when they have become so scarce.

It is, in some cases, about the dread of development in our communities, as people from various lifestyles move in, and it is in part the opinion of people who do not believe they have a stake in society and the political system.

However, like the suspicion of wrongdoing, it is usually not based on what is really happening, but I like that our country is made up of many cultures, and we profit from the strength of foreigners coming here and starting businesses and striving hard to give us services, but all this is getting lost at the moment in a yelling competition over migration.

That is not to say that there are no difficulties with services in areas, and some immigrant workers may well replace some UK taxpayers from some jobs, but the prevailing mood for the dispute goes far beyond a calculated estimate of what we must do, and it could cost our financial system dearly, and cost us our good name for open-mindedness.

If the law on immigration commands changing or rearranging to deter some people misusing it, then great, but we are well past the level of fairness, especially looking at what is actually happening, and people screaming the most vociferous on how much we don’t like outside people, and how we are going to teach them a lesson.

This is now turning us into a more narrow-minded nation, and this may well cause us financial impairment, and it is very wrong, and there are rules in place for the administration of hospitals to verify acceptability for treatment, so maybe, these really well-returned managers should actually do the work that they are compensated for because it’s not up to doctors and nurses to do their work for them.
