I would support an inquiry if an equal amount of money was spent on helping young people who are going through this right now. -
Is North Cross Road the High Street now ? 😅 Shame that this wasn't publicised wider and earlier IMHO -
BBC News - NHS plans to DNA test all babies to assess disease risk https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1ljg7v0vmpo I'm in two minds about this , on one hand it may help eliminate life changing illnesses as a child grows up, providing the gene therapy is available and free to all. On the other hand, the unexpected consequences could be that the data is sold / shared or lost and if insurance companies get it they could increase premiums or refuse cover due to the higher risk. Equally if an employer gets it, could they discriminate based on likelihood of needing more time off? If the data is anonymous and secure, possibly not a problem but even the NHS was hacked recently. Years ago I watched Gattaca , where a similar system resulted in upper class "perfect" citizens and the underclass of the "Imperfect" and whilst it was fiction, this could be how it starts 🤔 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/

What planet is this man from? June 21st it literally the height of summer, from tomorrow the days get shorter. If people are looking for a 'first day' the general choice is either 1st May ('hooray, hooray, the first of May, outdoor f***ing starts today') or 1st June (assuming the summer months are June July and August).
