Either I'm having a massive irony bypass or that's the singularly dumbest thing I've ever read.


I shit out bacteria and that's passed to others how exactly?

You know when 'others' don't wash their hands after said shitting etc. And when you touch the same door handles etc as them. Or when your favourite pub/reastaurant doesn't have soap. Or when the kids that festoon ED pubs etc fill their nappies. The list is endless.

There were 9042 cases of TB last year. Not one was caused by raw milk. You've more chance of getting it from salad.


To add to that, no-one has caught TB from retail raw milk for decades - to sell it you have to jump through hoops, the hygiene is scrupulous

Middle class luddism and its food fetish exclusivity as a choice does nothing to assist the current malaise within the food commodity markets- it is uneconomic, ego driven and divisive. The nutritional benefits are negligible if at all.What is sold as the anti consumerism choice is a strawman - its is an essential part of the capitalist model- breeding exclusivity to sell more products. it allows a few to participate, yet often uses more valuable rescources to produce,deliver and market.


innit

Im sure your numebrs are correct, as I am sure there have not been any cases of TB from milk for years- but you need to ask yewrself why are there no TB cases from milk any more ? the raw milk sample/ market share is too small to have any significant relevance here I would have thought

Good thinking LL, I'll order my fag to scrub down the 'Rrari while huffing down a Marby Red.

That's me focused.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
