A society cannot have suicide prevention and state-assisted suicide at the same time.
@MartinKulldorff has clarified via email.
I went back to the Jacobin interview and reading it again does suggest the following: that Martin **IS** ALIGNED WITH THE LEFT in Sweden but is **PERCEIVED** to be aligned with the right in the USA - which, in his words, "is weird" - implying that his true ideology is left. https://jacobin.com/2020/09/covid-19-pandemic-economy-us-response-inequality
However, from his email, it appears that the former (re: Sweden) was a PERCEPTION ("we were 'aligned' with the left in Sweden while 'aligned' with the right in Florida"). In the Jacobin interview, the quotations around the words "aligned with the left" obviously don't show up. He made it clear in his email that he has not disclosed his political views to anyone.
I have therefore removed his name from Book 3. https://sabhlok.open-ph.org/Docs/PublicHealthReview-Book3-draft.pdf
cc. @gbdeclaration - I would like to hereby correct my previous comment. Btw, I don't have Sunetra's latest email ID (the Oxford email bounced) but her statement about her ideology is unambiguous enough: https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/covid-forecasters-neil-ferguson-sunetra-gupta-b949855.html
@FrijtersPaul - for your info.
Recent figures show:
240 churches attacked.
Nearly 900 church robberies.
Around half of the 240 were arson attacks.
Now look at the funding.
UK has roughly:
40,000 churches
1,900 mosques
450 synagogues
Recent security funding works out at roughly:
£20,000 per mosque
£60,000 per synagogue
£80 per site for churches (shared pot with Hindu and Sikh sites)
Two Tier Kier Strikes again!
People don’t mean some mystical, eternal entitlement when they say a country has a “right to exist.” They mean the obvious: you don’t get to wipe a people out — they have the collective analogue of basic rights like life, security, and self-governance. Walsh is pretending not to understand a common shorthand and then declaring it meaningless.
Bear - this is still happening all over Britain. Everywhere.
If the nhs thinks anyone other than females can get pregnant, women will feel very unsafe. Legally a child has a ‘mother’ registered when that mother gives birth not ‘person’ - stop with this one way word salad rubbish. It’s not done to men.
NHS isn’t keen !
side effects - Who can & who can’t take it -Pregnant women get many chances to take Folate with GP or midwife - folic is synthetic btw - we don’t want it ! Mass medication

I don't want to be medicated by the state thank you. I am never going to be pregnant again and neither are a very high percentage of the population. It should be a choice for all, not mandated by the government.
UK COVID-19 inquiry|23 Feb 2026

The UK's biggest ever ''whitewash'' public inquiry (under a media blackout) continues to reveal the shocking truth about lockdown.
Significant disruption’ for breast cancer screening.
Delays in diagnosis and treatment.
91% drop in cervical cancer screening.
30% reduction in prostate cancer diagnosis.
Menopause services disrupted.
60% increase in wait times for Gynaecology.
‘‘When men were presenting (with prostate cancer) it was later stage because of the preventative screening efforts being suspended.’’
‘‘Gynaecology was the most disrupted in terms of wait lists...with waiting lists now of over a year.’’

Normal maternity care significantly disrupted.
An increased risk of harm for pregnant women and babies.
70% of NHS trusts limited birth parner interactions.
‘‘Women weren’t getting the same level of care arguably than they were prior to the pandemic.’’
‘‘One of the concerns if the impact this might have both on the physical health of mother and baby but also on the post natal challenges that many woman face..and might experience POORER OUTCOMES as consequence of this lack of engaged care.’’
‘‘Women were having to give birth ALONE…it sends shivers down my spine.’’🆘

There was a big campaign before it became law. Lots of people objected, but it went through the Houses of Parliament and the Lords. Other people don't care, or think it's a good thing. It's highly unlikely to be reversed. 😔
and not good for many people too - crazy uk Gov meddle with our food like this We don’t want or need Folid Acid added to our flour !

🚨Ed wants to bury 30 MILLION tonnes of CO2 per YEAR! It’s never ever been done at that scale before.
These are dead animals! … Caused by the 1986 Lake Nyos explosion, when a sudden release of only 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ killed 1,746 people and 3,500 animals.
That’s just 4% of the CO₂ the UK plans to store EACH YEAR.
Pure madness from the same people who ban fracking because it’s dangerous 🤡
Teenage suicide is lower now than it was in the late 1980s and 1990s.
There isn’t credible evidence to suggest social media has led to more teen suicides than there would otherwise be.
There has been an unusual rise in suicide of one demographic: men in their 40s and 50s.
Keir Starmer parachuted into Gorton but won’t meet with constituents out in Public with tiny select group
Then says outright there will be ‘hostility’ if Reform wins. Is this a threat? Is it inciting violence - or terror? What does he mean? That some voters in Gorton don’t accept democracy ?
This is dire dangerous desperate stuff
Labour minister admits that they are deliberately charging higher debt repayments to graduates who work, in order to pay higher benefits to people who do not work.
So basically he’ll do just over a year in prison and come out to a lump sum of £233,000.
In cases like this, the perp should have to pay every penny back. Strip them of every asset then deduct 50% of their income for life until double the full amount plus interest is repaid to the victim and their family.
The state applies no real punishment anymore.
For thousands of years this permanent pasture has been ridge and furrow to aid drainage and has not been built on because it always floods.
Work has now just started here on a huge new Didcot housing development and immediately it floods.
Why as a country are we getting thicker?
If someone dies within 30 days of an operation that becomes a coroner's case.
Why is it not the same for an elective medical therapy?
It is useful to note the context in which my findings re: capitalism should to be placed: in the context of RELENTLESS ATTACKS ON CAPITALISM BY "PUBLIC HEALTH".
Here's an example of an entirely incoherent but peer-reviewed publication: https://academic.oup.com/phe/article/13/2/176/5909219
What public health is currently doing is to DESTROY THE VERY FOUNDATION OF WEALTH CREATION ON WHICH LIFE EXPECTANCY HAS SO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED. This attack can't be stopped by downplaying the role of capitalism. We don't need to over-do it, either, merely place it in the proper proportion.
McKeown didn't mention capitalism but "improved living conditions" - and that's because of his rather limited knowledge of the institutional drivers of modern economic growth.
I hope to bring much more clarity to the topic than McKeown did - so that PH "experts" stop attacking the goose that lays the gold egg.

In case anyone wants to know what's happening in Brazil... One newspaper just broke out the news that in Brasília, 86 male inmates that claim to be women were sent to a female prison.
16 of them are rapists.
85 of them hadn't claimed to be women before their convictions.
The Huffington Post believes that caution is warranted before cutting off your dog's balls, but not your teenage sons 🙄
The ppl that are convinced they are our moral superiors are absolutely insane.
Yep, that'll do it. Call the angry, let down, newly-politically-homeless, totally fed up and conflicted voters who are turning to other parties in despair 'racist' 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Good point.
If you thought this was OK but ICE are out of control, your morality is a MESS.
Call me picky but why did he get plain clothes & 1 car and I got 5 uniformed police & 3 vehicles including a paddy wagon?
I copied & pasted incorrect info & added “if this is true” to a tweet and he erm … is suspected of misconduct in public office.
🚨Peter Mandelson has been arrested.
Two weeks ago, I published The Switchboard — tracing the direct line from Epstein’s network to Mandelson on to the political operatives who built CCDH and the censorship apparatus used to silence American voices.
Read it now with fresh eyes.

In January 2024, The New York Times published an article in their Climate Forward Newsletter highlighting the lack of snow in parts of the U.S., including NYC, suggesting that this is the new normal.
Today, the Northeast is under a Blizzard Warning. They are getting hit with their second major winter storm in the past four weeks. New York City (Central Park) has accumulated 15.1 inches of snow as of 7:00 a.m. EST; it's still snowing. They just had 11.4 inches on January 25th.
Mother Nature continues to refuse cooperating with prophecies of doom, and it will never get old laughing at these headlines.
There's some truly excellent Community Notes floating about today
🇮🇴WATCH: Chagossian First Minister Misley Mandarin has - from the new settlement on the Chagos archipelago - given Donald Trump formal permission to strike Iran from Diego Garcia.
He says: "We, the people of the Chagos Islands, give our blessing for the United States to use the base at Diego Garcia for strikes against the Iranian regime – in defence of the Iranian people."
His full statement:
"Today, I stand not in exile, but on our own soil, as the democratically elected head of government of the Chagos Islands.
Let the world hear this clearly.
We are here.
We govern here.
And we decide what happens here.
For too long, decisions about Diego Garcia were made in distant capitals, without our voice, without our consent. That era is over.
Diego Garcia is not just a military base. It is a pillar of stability in the Indian Ocean. It protects trade routes, deters aggression, and helps preserve global security. These are dangerous times and so I must be absolutely clear ....
If the United States decides that action is needed to defend international order, then as the elected Government of these islands, we give our permission for the use of Diego Garcia in defence of peace, secured through strength.
Once again, to be clear …
We, the people of the Chagos Islands, give our blessing for the United States to use the base at Diego Garcia for strikes against the Iranian regime – in defence of the Iranian people.
This is our sovereign decision.
President Trump understands the strategic importance of this island. He understands that peace is preserved through strength, not hesitation.
To the President of the United States, I say this directly:
You have our partnership.
You have our co-operation.
You have our permission.
We hope this partnership will be mutual.
If our homeland stands as a shield for America and its allies, then America must stand as a shield for our people. We seek formal recognition of our government, binding guarantees of our right of return, and permanent protection of our indigenous lands.
The Chagos Islands will not be a bargaining chip. We will not be spoken for. And we will not be silent. We stand with those who defend stability. We stand with those who defend our common values. We stand with those who stand with us. God Bless the United States of America."
It’s of little surprise to me that so many of the people attempting to demonise John Davidson for having an involuntary outburst, due to coprolalia, had nothing but vile abuse to spew when Jennifer Melle was racially abused, multiple times, by a transgender p*edophile prisoner, then suspended from her job for ‘not respecting his pronouns’…
This is horrific.
A suicidal woman in Spain became paraplegic after jumping from a building in a failed suicide attempt.
That paraplegia made her eligible for euthanasia, so she can be killed anyway.
What happened to suicide prevention? These are worrying times.
The Act was passed in October but comes in force on 1st May- giving landlords the opportunity to turf out no fault tenants against the intention of the legislation. @Keir_Starmer @EmilyThornberry
I grew up in Iran. Every day before class, we were forced to stand in line and chant “Death to America.”
My little brother, six years younger than me, once told my mother he didn’t want to go to school anymore because he hated saying it. He was in second grade.
The irony is that, now we Iranians, have to explain this reality to americans like Ginny Robinson!! who don’t understand the nature of the regime they’re defending. This government does not believe in “Long live Iran,” or even genuinely in “Long live Palestine” or “Long live Islam.”
Its doctrine has always been “Death to America.”
If it hasn’t harmed you yet, it’s not because it didn’t want to. It’s because it didn’t have the means.
That may not always be the case.
In the 2023-2024 matriculation cycle, 56% of US applicants to medical school were rejected despite good MCAT scores/GPA.
Instead of cultivating American talent, Texas Republicans pass a law which ensures their replacement with foreign doctors.
There are 9000 people who have already been subject to the puberty blocker experiment.
How are they doing?

This is the problem a lot of Muslims have with Christianity. Because we don’t deal with things like they do (via theocratic, authoritarian polices) it means we either don’t believe or don’t take it seriously. This is a profound misunderstanding.
This sort of campaign is not the product of a healthy well integrated society.
Labour are planning to abolish juries in half of all trials before the local elections.
Starmer and Lammy have doubled down on plans to restrict our ancient right to trial by jury, pushing legislation through within two months.
This is a sinister move that has already faced significant backlash from lawyers, Starmer’s former chambers, opposition MPs, Labour MPs and victims of crime.
Labour rebels have called the plan anti-democratic and warned it will increase racial discrimination within the criminal justice system. At least 60 MPs are thought to be preparing to rebel against the government, which is set to introduce legislation this week. The deliberately compressed timetable appears designed to avoid scrutiny, as Starmer seeks to cement this as a legacy policy before any potential leadership contest.
Under these proposals, juries would no longer hear cases involving assault, most drug offences, burglary, non-violent theft and some violent sexual crimes.
Vice President of the Law Society of England and Wales, Brett Dixon, has said: “The government’s proposals go too far in eroding the longstanding right to be judged by a jury of our own peers, by allowing a single judge to determine guilt in serious, life-changing cases.”
“There is no clear evidence that removing jury trials will do anything to resolve delays.”
The Free Speech Union’s research shows that those charged with a speech related crime are almost twice as likely to be found not guilty in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one.
Lammy’s plan will not cut the backlog. It will, however, see more people prosecuted for exercising their right to free speech.
