I know a manager in Tesco's says the thieving is on industrial levels
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Aye I said to the lady removing the tags that they must be good stuff and she said they can't keep up with the thieves.

I can't help but think  that there's going to be  a serious  amount of side effects down the line with these  injections

Was reading   some comments below in that article.  One said  the government should open up  NHS gyms. Would  probably be cheaper than  continually handing out   these jabs

going down the US route here.

There should never be an incentive, financial or otherwise for proscribing drugs to a vulnerable patient in your care.

Looking at the wider picture and how much obesity, poor lifestyle and related conditions like heart disease, diabetes etc cost the NHS taxpayer, maybe it's not a bad thing to try and shave a billion or two off that annual bill?

I'd agree. I don't think GPs are desperate for 3 grand but if these drugs are effective at reducing obesity related pressures on the NHS then they're well worth it.

Campaigners have hijacked the term "genocide" to demonise Israel, in a "moral inversion" designed to "tear open the still gaping wound of the Holocaust", the Chief Rabbi has said.

They still keep saying 'genocide' in the hope it'll somehow become true. Ireland's antisemitism problem is a shameful stain on the country

No, Israel isn't committing genocide
The charge goes unchallenged on the BBC. But it is a depressing rehashing of age-old anti-Semitic tropes about Jewish blood lust

ZFA President Jeremy Leibler said, "The allegation that Israel is committing genocide is baseless and a blatant attempt to besmirch Israel's reputation. There is no genocide or attempted genocide occurring in Gaza [and] anyone who says otherwise is either lying or ignorant".

Latest footage from Gaza's markets: stocked stalls, food on display, crowded streets. Is this what "genocide" looks like?

It's time this guy dropped the false & fraudulent genocide shtick that he has narrated since October 7, 2023 to appease, receive applause and electoral support from Israel haters whose objective is Israel's demonisation, delegitimisation & eradication

Nineteen months into Israel's slaughter of Gaza's children, moral ghouls like Simon Schama and Simon Sebag Montefiore are still being given a platform to smear as 'antisemites' opponents of genocide

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/10/israel-isnt-committing-genocide/
Data scientist Professor Abraham Wyner of the University of Pennsylvania appears to show that the civilian death toll is statistically impossible: "The daily totals increase too consistently to be real", rising daily "with almost metronomical linearity

John Spencer, professor of Urban War Studies at West Point, argues that "Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history – above and beyond what international law requires and more than the US did in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – setting a standard that will be both hard and potentially problematic to repeat."
And the IDF's Civilian Harm Mitigation Cell tracks the presence of civilians in real time uses that to drive its operations to minimise the risk of civilian casualties.

As always, novelist Howard Jacobson gets to the heart of the issue: "There is a sadistic triumphalism in charging Jews with genocide, as though those making it feel they have their man at last. The sadism resides, specifically, in attacking Jews where their memories of pain are keenest. By making them now the torturer and not the tortured, their assailants wrest their anguish from them, not only stealing their past but trampling on it."

Ephraim Mirvis says the "spurious" allegation that Israel was perpetrating a genocide in Gaza was "the ultimate demonisation of the Jewish state".

 Ephraim cites the legal definition of a genocide as acts committed with "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".
He adds: "It should be obvious that if Israel's objectives were genocidal, it could have used its military strength to level Gaza in a matter of days.

The list has enough information to cite 68,800 deaths. Hamas has lost 25,000 fighters, which leaves 44,000 war deaths to account for. Included in that 44,000 are about 10,000 natural deaths. The remaining 34,000 would include civilians killed by Israel and those killed by Hamas and associated militant groups—either by execution, rocket misfires, turf wars, and the like. The result is that even when using Hamas's numbers, Israel's civilian-to-combatant death rate is close to 1:1, an unheard-of accomplishment in an urban war setting, let alone one in which much of the territory has been turned into Hamas human shields. Given that Hamas started the war, refused to surrender, and fired at Israel from civilian homes, the terrible tragedy of Gazan lives lost is laid at Hamas's feet. " By

HAMAS , the terrorist themselves just gave their statistics & nobody.nobody including those animals aren't claiming any Genocide took place or is taking place. Approximately 25,000 Hamas fighters were klled. Roughly 34,000 civilians died — from Hamas misfires and executions as well as tragic IDF mistakes. Around 14% of Hamas rockets land inside Gaza. Overall the civilian-to-combatant ratio is about 1:1 — within modern war norms, especially given Gaza's conditions. APOLOGIZE NOW for perpetuating lies towards Jewish people & Israelis

Israel has not committed genocide. False accusations of genocide against the Jewish state are baseless, intended to associate Israel with the world's worse crime to generate public pressure.
Those peddling this dangerous lie and blood libel are lying and distorting the facts to push a nefarious anti-Israel campaign which must be rejected outright

Our carb heavy healthy plate recomendations are the root of it. We all get to a point where we cant outrun it no matter what training you do. The wholemeal story is nonsense also. You can only store fat when insulin is raging though your veins so why does it not occur to anyone to not provoke it so much, unless you are addicted of course.
Too many docs just follow the basic standard of care as if we are all cardboard cut outs. Anecdotally, an 85yr old relative of mine was found to have slightly elevated blood pressure, the GP immediately precribes 2 BP lowering drugs.
3 weeks later they collapse getting out of bed, 3 days in hospital, taken off 1 of the drugs and monitored. Seen by another GP who took more than the 5 minutes and deprescibed the 2nd BP drug. Also saying they were in amazing shape for 85! Lets say there was a resulting hip fracture to deal with as a result of this, the statistics would point to game over.
So Iatrogenic harm is a real issue and if you place all your trust in the current medical system you'd better tread carefully.

Israel has admitted killing 70,000 people.. most likely as they could no longer deny it and the number is believed to be much higher.
Is there a specific number to define it as genocide?... Photos of Gaza, the forced starvation, denying aid getting in as well as independent journalists and the targeting of local journalists... sure looks like genocide.
The UN Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide certainly define it as such.

An American trauma surgeon who worked in Gaza says it is 200,000 dead and 70,000 children murdered.
