Thanks for the info Heidi - I have a slight scar on my arm from where I got the BCG - from memory it was preceeded by a skin tests to see if you were allergic


Perhaps one for the drawing room, but sadly the rise of TB is yet another unintended consequence of mass immigration in the last 10 years . . . . . .

As i understand it this is the same jab but new research shows that the BCG is most effective when given as soon after birth as possible.

I think it may have something to do with the government stopping the universal immunisation at 13 and the rise in levels of child poverty including overcrowded and unfit homes.

It's to do with all those things.


That BBC link is quite old, Quids, more recent data (last year's figures) can be found here and actually show that numbers are no longer rising.


Migration is a major (probably the main) factor, but coincided with the withdrawal of the vaccination programme in teenagers (which was premature in my opinion) and a widening gap between the haves and have-nots that leaves more people, particularly the vulnerable, living in poverty.

I know Anna, I just felt the previous post was being a bit PC rather than factual, and your figures suggest there was some truth in that, although I'm glad to see levels have stabilised. Incidentally, as you're good at stats (I'm guessing) a widening gap in poverty doesn't neccesarily relate to an increase in actual poverty as it's a measure of differences with the average not an absolute measure - the rich could just be getting richer qucker than the poor. I don't mean that as tritely as it sounds, but that's the way the stats are collected. If Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Donald Trump all became UK citizens tomorrow child poverty as we measure it would also increase.


Finally on a lighthearted morbid note if it wasn't for TB I wouldn't be here as my grans' first husband died of it shortly after they married, so she ended up with my grandad a couple of years later. But I'd like it if we could eradicate it now.

And I know what you mean, both about the poverty gap (about which you are absolutely right) and the previous post. At a glance the HPA figures do support immigration as the main contributor - 72% of cases in those born outside the UK.


Anyhoo, that's probably enough family room time for me, I have a feeling the OP wasn't after an in depth breakdown of last years HPA stats.


ps to get into the nature/nurture/genetics/would-Quids-be-the-same-if-he'd-had-a-different-grandpa debate would really be taking the thread off topic, but I'm grateful to TB for bringing us the Quids we know and love/argue with.

    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet £100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
