HSE Lead restriction extension

I remember a tv program, horizon possibly.
I remember it saying some plastic molecules resemble female hormones.

But don't worry, stopping us shooting lead will soon transform the human health for the better, in fact probably to well but thats nothing a good pandemic cant fix👍🏻
I, as you will almost certainly too, look forward to the resulting end to endemic cretinism which will no doubt be the first of many startling and unexpected benefits of lead free game, consumed by the populace for breakfast lunch and supper! 😉
 
For those looking at statistics.

My father’s side.
Grandfather got a Bolshevik bullet in his elbow, lived until he was 89 and died of natural causes
My gran lived until she was 96 and died of natural causes
My dad died of prostate cancer aged 87. Probably smoked 20 roll ups a day and drank way too much but understandable with what he went through the war.

My mum’s side
Grandfather died of cancer (not sure which type) aged 91
Gran died of natural causes aged 95
Mum’s still alive at 88 but with early set of dementia.

I got a gall stone at the age of 51 with severe complications.
The docs reckon it could be a result of drinking too much cola.

So there’s statistics and there’s statistics.

And ultimately a weasel faced goody goody two shoes will find some way of twisting it to look like you're doomed!
 
There is a very odd attitude I've seen in recent years that I don't remember seeing when younger. It seems if there is something else that is "a bigger deal/ worse/ more common/ doesn't affect me" then it must be wrong/ condemned. And to try and better the situation that is within our gift or to even discuss it, is met with hostility or childish remarks that detract the entire situation. This seems to be the way of the world and if definitely a change for the worse in my opinion

You are correct.
In my opinion its because many of us have become cynical. Many of us have good reason to no longer trust anyone in authority large or small. Couple that with modern underlying narratives in mainstream media just adds to the distrust.

Basically its fear, as a famous much loved apostle put it..." There is no fear in love, because fear casts love out and fear restrains us..."

You may well be right, even looking through other social media, or even normal conversations in person out and about people seem ready to argue instead of discuss constantly these days

Look at all the science backed issues that were supposed to be for the greater good.

Thalidomide
DDT
Plastics
The scare of Salmonella in eggs
BSE

Then we have

Weapons of mass destruction
PPE buying during Covid
Partygate
Post Office scandal

These are just the high profile ones I can rhyme off the top of my head.

Was Brexit a pack of lies or did the Political establishment just refuse to allow it to work because the common free thinking peasant (us) dared to excercise their democratic rights? Will it matter when Mr Putin cones knocking (Other than for tfe fact that we won't have the French selling our secrets for us, it will be done by British civil servants)?

Maybe. I don't know. What I do know is that pretty much everything I hear from London and other seats of power and them that court them is utter BS.
