For once (every rule has an exception), the eu could really interfere in a beneficial way. Ban whole herd preventative antibiotic use and make them prescription only in the whole of the eu. Then start applying pressure through the WHO globally. I think we might regret this more than climate change in a few decades.

Easy availability is a big problem; you can walk into a pharmacy in Africa and buy one or two tablets. People don’t see why they should buy and finish an entire course, which is a waste of their precious cash.

Anybody who fears the pharmaceutical industry will not solve the problem has no understanding of the money that’s at stake. An executive…[Read more]

Cheating at sport really does seem strange – but then cheating at anything seems strange to me.

With regards to “cheating” at sport I do laugh when I’m at a kids cycle race, see all the kids (under 10’s) rolling around the course on top of the range bikes, light as a feather, yet all within the approved guidelines – I do then wonder where it will…[Read more]

If Britain boycotts the world cup and no one else does, then if will make Britain look isolated not Russia.

At the moment no other country is likely to boycott the World Cup, especially since the UK is one of the main routes for dirty money leaving Russia, and three premier league teams are owned by Russians with good links to Putin.

I don’t think there are any winter sports to roll out to the inner-city masses – maybe ice hockey?

Otherwise seems a shame to abandon a major international get-together for the sake of £28m – compared to about £20bn we spent hosting the summer olympics.

You seem to know more about the Aguero incident than the rest of us??? Much more than you could possibly have taken from the television pictures.

I think I consider myself independent. I think my soon to be ex OH always found that a bit difficult to be honest. So maybe it does affect relationships. Sometimes I have been the major earner, at others not – but I do not consider independence to be just a financial thing, more a viewpoint.
I think I am too old to change though, and to be honest…[Read more]
