Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Good post Olga. Astonishing that plutonium was found in all the children. Are there any international comparisons? Back donkeys years ago, even before Carnsore Point became famous, I recall a Windscale spokesman explaining that thyroid cancer wasn't really a problem if you took iodine tablets. The idea was that by taking the tablets, it would reduce the amount of iodine your thyroid gland takes up. And anyway, if you get thyroid cancer, the thyroid can be removed. (Whoops, they have just privatised our glands and sold them to BNF.)
Governments took this up, and as a result we now have large amounts of iodine put into our food chain. The excuse for this is that if we don't get enough iodine, we may get an enlarged thyroid, ie goitre. But iodine is not good for the body, in excess, it is a poison, causing a range of health problems.
It is hard to get the truth about iodine levels and the health consequences of too much and too little. But the atomic industry was worried that there would be a significant epidemic of thyroid cancers, which would damage their profits. So we all have to eat iodine, right?
There is no mention of Thyroid cancer in the article, only that radiation targets the thyroid gland, from the thyroid gland it is then taken up, and distributed through the blood to all other lymph glands, including the bone marrow.
Although most of the survivors of hiroshima and Chernobyl, went on to develope thyroid cancers.
Potassium Iodide tablets are standard issue in cases of radiation leaks around nuclear plants, they block the thyroid glands uptake of radioactive iodine, and substitute it with potassium iodine.
From the research based on 3000 Northern Ireland, scientists conclude that plutonium had entered the irish food chain.
Flouridation has similar effects, because it is taken up by the thyroid gland instead, of iodine, both chemicals are closely related if you look at the periodic table. The thyroid gland craves iodine
but will take up floride instead mistaking it for iodine. Drugs such as prozac contain flouride which is readily taken up by the thyroid gland causing mood changes due to altered thyroid function.
Similary with mobile phones powered by lithium batteries, lithium is closely related to radium in the chemical periodic table and has similar properties. Radium is carcinogenous and a cancer causing agent, it causes cancer by causing body cells to vibrate, vibration alters the shape of human body cell walls, causing mutation.
Lithium is a heavy duty standard treatment in mental health care, used to subdue, those with mental illness because it also targets the thyroid gland, causing primarily cognitive, neurological and co-ordination alteration, by slowing down the metabolic rate.
If you observe someone on lithium they walk as those they're walking on the moon, everything is slowed down, occasional permanent irreverisble nuerological damage occurs after treatment, and patients are left with parkinson disease like tremors.
