Mmm earlier it said £94, the extracted body text said "X and X" and now it's £19.

For a few years now I've thought that the food industry will feature as the next controversy as tobacco has been. Years ago I read an article about High Fructose Corn Syrup, its history and its negative effect on the liver. I can't find the original but this one comes close. Ever since I've avoided HFCS.

We then have hydrogenated fats that are considered bad for the body.

The bottom line is that these ingredients are produced to make food production cheaper but at the expense of a healthy diet. Industry sector lobbying helps these ingredients to the market.

Nasty Party targets the poor and vulnerable again. It's a shame that they don't show the same efforts in going after the corporates avoiding tax.

This is a remarkable turn around of two years ago when Macron warned about not to humiliate Putin.

Go for it Germany.

Russia comes across as the playground bully smacking kids in the mouth and then cries when they find out that one of the kids is ready to give them a smack down.

Fuck off Russia.

Biden has stepped up to the plate and then some more. Credit to him.

Yeah right. We've had next to no wage increases over the last 15 years but workers still carry the can. Totally ignore the energy companies raising their prices significantly based on costs yet still make huge record profits. Ditto supermarkets.

Mmm I wonder why...

That's one hell of a distance for a drone to fly from Ukraine.

Let's hope so. I look forward to a few Portillo moments. The Tories have caused so much damage to the UK in two words Brexit and Corruption.

That's what the British car industry said in the 60s and 70s about Japanese cars. Everyone bad mouthed anything made in Japan as being poor quality.

The Japanese succeeded through good products and their domestic rivals (in Britain) being arrogant, xenophobic and letting standards slide thinking they were great and couldn't be beaten.

I've a Japanese Honda CRV (ironically built in UK) and a Chinese built MG5 EV. The EV is best built car I've owned in 35 years.

Many established car brands are going to disappear Tesla, I believe, being one.

Who would have ever imagined the US appearing as a pro-Russian country by the Republicans? It truly is jaw dropping.
