The latest study I read from scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital was pretty damning when it came to health and dietary choices.
Every 3% increase in calories from plant protein was found to reduce risk of death by 10%. The research base was extensive with over 100,000 subjects and spanned 3 decades.
Men on a vegetarian diet are thought to live 10 years longer than those that aren’t, where as women can extend their lifespan by 6 years. That was found by researches at Loma Linda University in the States.
The statistics look absolutely clear on that. | |

Correct. The Hitler comparison is like the Savile one. Both can be considered evil and committed crimes against humanity that was a product of their own minds, not the product of the era and environment they lived in. 400 years ago, slavey was a way of life. | |

Why were there concerns over a jury made up from Bristolians, would ppl from Bath or Birmingham feel any different?
As Sir John pointed out, a jury can decide whatever it wants. If it feels that it was justified , then justified it is. | | | |

There are a few orators about who people assume talk sense because of the skill and eloquence of their prose, when in reality they just promote filth and bile.
Naming no names like. | |

What about statues of Winston Churchill ?, could they now be seen as fair game after this ruling, apparently they have been attacked in the past on numerous occasions, I think the last person was fined if that was so could he appeal in light of this latest verdict, what does our resident barrister think ? | |

I'm sure SirJohn has a far better handle on me than this, but my first reaction is no, the rulling won't make any difference to past or future trials.
The law has not been changed. New law has not been made.
It's a one off verdict from a jury trail.
It's not now fair game, it's not a slippery slope, its not the thin end of the wedge or any other of the Daily Mail type sensationalist sayings. | | | |

Who exactly is “fuming”? It’s been quite a calm sensible discussion so far. | | | |

I saw a documentary once about this young confused delinquent child who fell into the wrong crowd and cut the head off the statue of the founder of the town. The townsfolk were so angry running around with pitchforks and everything, in the end he returned the head to the statue and apologised and the townsfolk forgave him. | | | |

Possibly. I think they were all suffering from liver disease. | | | |

I think your general take might be correct, but as regards could Churchill's statues be seen as fair game after this verdict by people that might view Churchill as a divisive character is another matter as they might see this as something of a green light. | |

I would not fancy the chances of a Churchill statue in Rhondda. Equally Bristol has a strong black community, so perhaps why it is more than an issue in Liverpool | | | |

Here is the bleeding bloody obvious i.e. black lives did not matter to hypocritical Marxist/WOKE rabble and student activist types because they should not have gathered together with Covid out there... And not only that, it was extremely disrespectful to people of colour and NHS workers who had died and risked their own lives during the epidemic. Same applies to counter protesters also.
But hey these 'events' are sure a good excuse to attack the police caught in the middle! They get it from both sides! Every bit a farce just like the 'attention-seekingfest' that is the annual Swansea city centre 'White Pride V Counter Protest' that ends up as nothing more than an all day p1ss up for both sides united as one by means of belonging to the same self-indulgent drama queen charade.
They'd be gutted if South Wales Evening Post and the other side did not turn up, that would hit their ego's if no body gave two sh1ts about their willy-waving, that? Achieves absolutely s0d all other than wasting valuable police time!
REAL grown-up's with REAL concern do REAL things for black people e.g. Singleton Hospitals excellent clinical team(s) Gambia Project etc! You know the stuff, ACTION(S) that comes with REAL end product and REAL meaningful impact as opposed to a load of hot air! | |

I asked before on here if remember right if there was any statues of Churchill in Wales ?, nobody replied, I personally can't think of one, I would have guessed there would be (a few), but there again I don't look at statues. | |

I'm reminded of what Alistair Cooke,the journalist wrote on the 1950s when the equal rights legislation was being passed in the US, the opinions of those white people in the North and West are glib compared to the black man living in Alabama. | |

Could you imagine what the impact would have been if all these glib multimillionaire footballers and others had shown genuine care by donating a fraction of their wages to black Africa?
Far more impactive and preferable to empty, soulless zero-end-product attention seeking! | |
