    An estimated 50 million years of human life could be lost in the UK if action is not taken to reduce air pollution
    emm that is 1 year per human, which way higher than previous suggestions
    And the context is that UK pollution has fallen drastically in last 40 years, apart from idiotic moves like increasing wood burning ,

    The report claims the magic solution is to follow the Climate Change act.

      Gotcha Guido.

      As for Abbots’ ‘divide and rule’ comment, many years ago, before the term multiculturalism was coined, I drew attention to how it was employed by the Colonial Office during the 1930s.

      It was known as the ‘woad policy’ whereby natives would be obliged to retain their traditional culture and subject to this form of identity politics would be directly ruled by traditional leaders who would be guaranteed protection from the colonialists.

    So, the little lad Alfie has passed away. Do the media let the story go and leave the family to grieve ? of course not, not content to have it as the lead story, the newsreader says “……. and now over to Alder Hey for further reaction”. FURTHER REACTION ????? wtf ? a child has died, so what more of a ‘reaction’ do they need ? our media organisations need to take a long hard look at themselves, because they disgust me; especially with their pueril journalism i.e. “how do you feel ? ” “what was your first thought?” “how did you react?” – I always thought reporting was based on the premise of what, why, where, how – not the emoting of bystanders.

      Completely agree. The puerile angle on BBC breakfast was pathetic…How the little chap had deteriorated and despite the best efforts of our amazing NHS he just slipped away. Our state broadcaster encouraging us to sympathy and empathy, rather than leaving the poor family alone and investigating the facts which led a family to Rome and a child’s picture on newspapers throughout the world.

      The real story (omitted of course) is this case highlights once again the worrying control the state actually has over our own children. They effectively controlled the manor and place of death of this child and enforced primacy of decision-making in direct conflict to the grieving parents’ wishes.

      The state will never bury or grieve for this child and the state extinguished hope (no matter how futile this may have been) using the full force of the law, something completely anomalous to most people around the world.

      There’s something very rotten at the heart of our nation and every now and then it bubbles up. This case is just the latest example. Of course, that’s where the BBC steps in; signposting elsewhere (usually puerile emotion angle) while the carpet is lifted.

      Our state broadcaster could never bring into question the very foundations of our state, our law and the NHS; it’s part of the same establishment. Precisely why I, and many on here, would see it fall.

        There are both scientific and ethical issues that the BBC did not discuss, which is sad given the millions they pay out to activists posing as experts.

        There is the matter of the state overruling parental rights. which has astounded many people in other countries. Sure, the state has a case when deciding if parents who may be Jehovah Witnesses should be allowed to refuse a life saving blood transfusion for their child. But this was a case of the state upholding a diagnosis that therapy was futile and that somehow it was accepted that the child’s best interests would be served by being dead and having no interests at all.

        Futility is a difficult concept to handle, and it is questionable whether it refers to treatment that will not cure or treatment that will prolong a life that some – not the parents in this case – considered not worth living.

        Few doctors, including many deemed to be specialists, fully understand the mechanisms associated with death and it is wholly wrong for the law – especially judges who divide their time between the law and activism is support of euthanasia – to accept contestable evidence from the doctors regarding a prediction of death. Exactly how much brain function had the infant lost? You won’t find out from the vague utterances of the BBC.

        On life and death medical issues the BBC have an agenda – usually in favour of euthanasia or accelerated death. I recall a BBC interview I did in relation to a similar situation. As a warm up question I was told that as I would not worry about killing a dog, so why should I object to euthanasia for a terminally ill human. When I replied that I would be very much worried about killing a dog and would expect in some cases a second veterinary opinion the interviewer stopped recording, listened to my argument and left to find a colleague who supported euthanasia. That it how it
        works.

        I am surprised at the silence from the Government on what has become an international issue.

          Some health professionals get so fixed in their opinion that common sense flies out of the window. Many years ago I attended some seminars in Cambridge on measuring “Quality of Life” for patients. In one report being dead scored 3 on the Quality of Life Index. Most of the professional there couldn’t see the illogicality.

            There’s much mixed feelings about the parental rights of a sick child, but if it wasn’t for the bravery of the parents of Ayesha King who in 2015 ignored the doctors diagnosis at Southampton General, and fled the country, its doubtful that little boy would be alive and free of cancer today. Yes, the NHS is wonderful when it works, but adults who can afford it, go abroad for more progressive treatment, so what parent given the opportunity for their child wouldn’t also do it.

            The dramatic headline at the time for Al Beeb ……. so much for him being ‘in danger’, when 3 years later he’s running around playing football.

          G.W.F.,

          Few doctors, including many deemed to be specialists, fully understand the mechanisms associated with death…

          You evidence for this is what exactly?

          and it is wholly wrong for the law… to accept contestable evidence from the doctors regarding a prediction of death

          There was no “contestable evidence”. Alfie Evans’ parents, in their desperation, were taken in by little more than a couple of snake-oil salesmen from Bambino Gesù Hospital.

          You might find it useful to read the judgment of the recent court case:
          https://goo.gl/9xZj2d

          judges who divide their time between the law and activism is support of euthanasia… the BBC have an agenda – usually in favour of euthanasia… why should I object to euthanasia… left to find a colleague who supported euthanasia

          This case had nothing to do with euthanasia, and you’ve admitted to knowing virtually nothing about it; “Exactly how much brain function had the infant lost?”.

          So perhaps you should stop trying to politicise it for your own personal aims.

          Just a thought.

    The state takes the welfare of the child is paramount . But when that child is 2 and in the condition of young Alfie – Why do the uk medics win over others – like the Italians – especially when the parents wanted treatment ?

    Because al Beeb supports. Wimmins rights they support abortion. Once they support abortion other areas can come into play as life is no longer the priority. So the Liverpool pathway can continue – medics can kill off nuisance patients without relatives through euthanasia…. hiding behind sainthood of the blessed NHS- which never really does anything wrong – according to al. Beeb. Two fat state organisations seen as wonders but in fact are not.

    Al Beeb loves vicarious grief after the princess Diana death show

          I used to describe documents like this as a form of etiquette, rather than an ethical guide. But most GPs have problems with etiquette and never move on. As for ethics, what frequently passes for ethical decision making in the ethics councils is usually a form of cost-benefit analysis, which can never resolve incommensurable problems. eg. consider lying to patients in experimental therapy . How does one achieve a balance between a successful scientific outcome and irreversible loss of confidence in the medical experts?
          Most doctors cannot handle complex ethical issues and dream of a professional life where all problems have a clear solution.

          And this kind of thinking could be exposed in the Alder Hey fiasco if the medical experts were not protected by the courts.

          Fed Up. I note you follow the Roman Catholic teachings on these issues. I am not a follower but reason from ethical principles and theory and empirical observations. Sometimes opponents from the utilitarian standpoint describe me as a Jesuit. I am not, but the pursuit of truth and objectivity brings together conclusions drawn from different starting points.

    He played a clip of Trump : “That Para-olympics was great and inspiring, I watched it , it’s a little tough to watch too much”
    Nolan “Now , what do you think he meant by that…here I ask a famous Para Olympic athlete I have on the line”
    … I just offed the radio
    … If Nolan seeks to make outrage out of that , he’s pathetic.

    Whilst Trump was supposed to be a certain disaster, when he comes to office , but since he came into office it’s not him that’s failed standards, but rather a lot of the other world establishment politicians who being involved in scandal, low standards and stupidity like Corbyns “Oh I didn’t know that was antisemitic “,

            It’s like explaining things to a five-year old. Here goes:

            Trump uses that arm movement when mocking many people – he even used it when quoting himself. It was nothing new when he used it for this particular reporter’s stupid comments. More than very doubtful he even knew there was something different with this reporter’s hands as he would have been looking at his face.

            It was a fake story dreamed up by the lift and repeated as nauseam as they do when they think they’ve got something to have a go at Trump, real or, like this, fake.

            This accusation was shown to be fake very quickly but the extreme left, like yourself, wouldn’t let go of it because the truth was largely ignored in the alt-left controlled MSM. I’m sure you knew all this already but like them you don’t want to admit the truth because it puts you and your lies in a bad light.

    @BBCR4Sunday prog “Muslim PR Agency says that UK businesses risk missing out on the opportunities of Ramadam”
    ..ah is that how pro-Muslim bias happens ?
    … that there are Muslim PR agencies funded by crates of Saudi money, that have influence over the media ..thus getting them to drop Muslim negative stories, and carry Muslim positive .

    I have heard the BBC mention it’s the Sikh new year

      Next was Radio Leeds where a guest was making a claim he was worried for his Pakastani community just like Windrush.

      Lets be clear, the reason why immigration has to be tough is cos of all the cheats, we know there are lots of cases ,,yet somehow the media has a fatwah on reporting them
      I’m guessing that for every ONE case of HO being over hard against a Windrusher, there are FIVE cases of Jamaicans etc falsely claiming they have a right to live in the UK.

    The BBC’s supporters routinely complain about a lack of ‘plurality’ in the UK media and try to pretend that the BBC’s broadcasting hegemony is excusable as it somehow confronts a barrage of ‘Right wing’ opinion.

    Ignoring the fact that a substantial portion of the print media is Leftist in orientation, as are all the broadcast channels, just how much real divergence from the BBC’s version of events is there?

    Take the Salisbury ‘poisoning’ of the Skripals. This story has more holes than a cheap cullender but has been D noticed (one assumes) off the pages. And even before Mrs May’s lawyers waded in with the sock full of wet sand, threatening impromptu dentistry to any editor who dared cross the line, the fact is that the British press had already bought her story. It was Vlad what done it, so there.

    The same applies over Syria. Another Left/Government narrative (‘evil Assad gasses his own people, think of the children, boo-hoo’) is unravelling like a cheap sweater and yet, on RTV the few British hacks who could be bothered to turn up when the Russians presented evidence that the ‘attack’ was yet another White Helmets tribute to George Lucas, were shown openly mocking the Syrians who dared present contrary testimoy.

    Diversity? Plurality? The UK’s media are more locked into a single point of view than at any time since WWII and the BBC’s pretence of independence is a fraud.

    Someone, somewhere, is having a laugh. Quite literally at our expense.

    More on how hatey libmob Projection, maybe it works this way
    #1 Our FakeNews media poisons their brains
    so they get a monsterised image of political opponents like Trump/Farage/TommyR/Tories which falsely portrays them as “hostile & hatey”

    #2 this winding up gives the libmob licence cos, they think they are fighting someone “hostile & hatey” they themselves behave super “hostile & hatey” ..lashing out like an angry terrier, but then running away instead of standing ground to fight.

    … How to deal with this on Social Media ?
    I guess before calling them out of specific arguments I would point out they are being hatey & although I can debunk all their arguments, I’m not going to go down a rabbit hole, where I use logic and reasoning and they react with namecalling & shouting whilst getting more & more wound up.

    People noticed that when @BBCNewsbeat mocked the near-deaf MP Alec Shelbrooke, they apologised but didn’t even noticed their own previous tweet : “You may not realise YOU ARE a bully”

    Hatey No Hopers like Brendan Cox & BlackLivesMatterMore think they are really fighting hate ..even when they are the onse wearing balaclavas, being intimidating & throwing smokebombs.

    I read “Please Let Me Go” by Caitlin Spencer, which has been mentioned by other contributors here. It is a powerful book, thoroughly enraging and upsetting in equal measures throughout and not at all easy to read; very graphic in places concerning what she was subjected to.

    It is about a British girl who was enslaved into prostitution, initially be a British man but who soon ended up under the control of Muslim rape gangs.

    The book confirmed to me something which I have long suspected, that the inaction of the police; children’s homes and others was not solely caused by political correctness and fear of racism accusations. There were police who protected these gangs and what they were doing, because they were being bribed to look the other way, either with money or “services”.

    The recent Cliff Richard case against al Beebus demonstrated one thing to me: the best place to get these verminous police; councillors; social workers etc is under oath, in the witness box, in a court of law.

    That is why I regret that not one of these girls has brought a case, or had one brought on their behalf, against these awful b@st@rds. Yet lawyers fall over themselves to try and prevent immigrants from being deported, or bring prosecutions against British military personnel for crimes they’ve allegedly committed, whilst serving their country in foreign wars; all being funded by the UK taxpayer through the Legal Aid system.

    Perhaps the most absurd yet totally ignored aspect of the ‘Windrush generation’ and immigration in general, is the downright lie – one which has been fostered for decades and in particular by the BBC/Guardian Soviet – that immigrants were vitally needed to replace losses to the UK workforce after WW2.
    Even if you include civilian casualties (67,200) which would naturally embrace a large proportion of non-working women and children, total losses were 450,900. And a grievous loss, no doubt, but considerably less than the 700,000 UK losses, almost exclusively of working-age young men, after WW1.
    Despite the Depression and mass unemployment of the 1920s, no political party would have dared to suggest importing massive numbers to take more jobs from the UK workforce, so what was different about 1945?
    Anthony Wedgewood-Benn and Anthony Crosland, to name but two Labour government ministers who formed a coalition whose main aim in life was to destroy both the Establishment and the Empire. Their joint venture to bring in large numbers of West Indian workers was pernicious enough, with hindsight, but the masterstroke was to add even larger numbers of Pakistanis, following partition in 1947.
    Much time has been spent recently analysing Enoch Powell’s apocryphal and sadly accurate words on the subject. One day, perhaps, the roles of Attlee and Gaitskell will be exposed as the most significant factors in the creation of the social multi-uncultural catastrophe we currently enjoy.

    Now, here’s a true story – straight from the ‘horse’s’ mouth.

    Recently in Rotherham, a white business man was travelling by taxi and engaged the driver in conversation. The driver – a Muslim had forsaken his visits to the mosque because of what he was told to do. His wife is unable to conceive, so was told to divorce her and find another wife who was able to give him the required family of 8 children ! The t/driver loves his wife and would not do this, hence his non- attendance at the mosque. He also revealed that it was common teachings to promote having large families, as this was the non violent way of getting ‘the vote’ within two generations in the UK.

    This is confirmation of what we have long suspected, and needs addressing now, because in less than 100 years time the UK will be no better than Iran, and where will all the Muslims then disappear to for a ‘better life’ when there are no white Christians left to subsidise their life style.

      Brissles – a very interesting anecdote.

      The Muslims always vote en bloc and that is why they are pandered to by the mainstream parties. In a town where say 20% of the population is Muslim, who all vote, and in council elections where only 35% of the electorate turn out; they can determine the outcome.
      The Muslims wield huge political influence: they know this and the politicians know it. The larger the Muslim population, obviously, the greater their political power.

    Surely it can’t be right that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is given free rein to trash the business models of the likes of WH Smith’s and Kellogg’s via the BBC?

    On the one hand we have the BBC that never promotes any business, (unless it is Disney, Apple, Virgin, Last Minute Dot Com, Friends Reunited etc., rich American corporations or mates wanting to sell shares), and on the other rich ‘celebrities’ that are allowed to use licence fee payers money to destroy the pension plans and jobs of the plebs.

    I for one enjoyed the sound of them tiptoeing around the minefields and painting them to look like tulips. To hear OFSTEDs chief girly, that scourge of the umma Dame Louise Hard-Casey and all manner of assorted(anonymous) people “raising concerns” in the form of a white flag was very funny.

    BBC news article says Trump does not deserve credit for Korea peace talks. Just an almighty coincidence that they happened just after Trump came to power and rattled his sabre then is it?

    Korean politicians have been openly thanking Trump. Could they not just give him this one? They only toxify their reputation further by denying the truth. Would Obama ever have threatened fire and fury? He was more likely to fellate another world leader than threaten them.

        If I am correct I think the cabinet is over 75% of those who voted remain with only 6 or 7 leavers.
        The 3 top jobs were held by remainers.

        Wouldn’t mind J R-M as PM although I think he would be wasted in that job. Much better as a Brexiteering on behalf of the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ought to run a tight ship.

        Only problem I would have with him as Chancellor is whether he is still tied to some old Tory economic and fiscal dogmas that have been proved to be way out of date.

        Hopefully, he would be more flexible on those and have his priorities right.

      She had to go for misleading parliament (although she’ll argue she had no knowledge).
      I think the hostile policy has evoked conversation on migration in general. From conversations had, I’ve heard right wingers (Ukip,Tory voters) say that Windrush deportations were a non issue (which i dont get) and conversely lefties arguing that any deportation is wrong. As a traditional leftie, I sympathise with many of our causes, but this one I miss entirely. I cant see a choice to be had here, either a HO that incompetently deports UK citizens on one hand and on the other people that advocate open borders.

        “The Windrush row” is just smoke and mirrors to divert public opinion from Brexit and the need to stem the mass immigration into this small country.
        80% of the British people want the invasion stopped, that’s why we voted out of the EU!

      Re this letter’s words
      ” I will be reallocating £10m (including from low level crime and intelligence) with the aim of increasing the number of enforced removals by more than 10% over the next few years: something I believe is ambitious, but deliverable.”
      .. it doesn’t seem to me she has lied
      #1 It’s not specific, but vague “over the next few years”
      #2 It’s NOT a target, it is an aspiration
      #3 A proper target would be “Within 3 years we will deport 99% of illegal immigrants”

      Now she and the gov are useless at immigration, at PROPER environment (instead of Green dreaming)
      And the woman is a Remainer
      I’d prefer it if their was a proper Brexit Gov not all these soft-libs
