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.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
