• Vaccines for swine flu 09:09am on 29 Sep 2009 It's not just the neuro-toxin mercury that we should be worried about in the vaccine. It's also the aluminium and the squalene adjuvant. Both are immuno-suppresants in their own right and therefore counter-productive to fighting infection. Why rely on artificial means to fight low-level infections like flu, when you can use commonsense and plenty of nature's ingredients (Vitamins D3 and C, elderberry extract, echinacea, goldenseal root, etc) to prevent and combat the lurgy.
• What really happened 00:26am on 20 Jun 2009 @SteveAustin87
  
  Yep, kind of reminds me of the BBC's coverage of 9/11 when they said WTC Building 7 had collapsed even though it was in shot in the background.
  
  The Beeb then went on to claim they had the lost the tape of that momentous occassion, even though copies of it were circulating the interwebs.
• Tesco: Not quite infallible 1:35pm on 21 Apr 2009 Won't be long now before we have a tesco value economy.
• Should the banks back Britain? 1:27pm on 07 Apr 2009 What an utterly stupid and pointless question.
  
  Of course the banks should back Britain; it was Britain, after all, which backed them.
  
  Where would they be without the British taxpayer?
  
  And where will they eventually be if no one in Britain has money banked with them?
  
  If the banks don't want to lend to Britons, then let them go under and arrest their bosses (making up some law to do so).
• How Dunfermline fell 2:34pm on 30 Mar 2009 Gwyrangon wrote:
  
  

  The forced collapse and takeover of the Dunfermline Building Society is political rather than economic. Less to do with 'toxic debts' than with the Scottish referendum on independence. At which time we shall be hearing from Westminster: 'How can you possibly expect to run an independent Scotland when you regularly have to be saved from your own mistakes with "English" money?'

  
  
  Spot on. The hand-ringing and fake indignation from the toom tabards and astroturfers has already started on The Scotsman's blogs.
• Will Obama pay Goodwin's pension? 11:25am on 25 Mar 2009 CA55ANDRA wrote:
  
  

  Apparently, someone has just vandalised one of Goodwin's houses in Scotland and smashed his merc. How terrible.

  
  
  It is indeed terrible. But you'd have to be living on Mars to think this wasn't going to happen. There are always glory hunters wanting to make a name for themselves, and so it was inevitable that an idiot or two would rightly or wrongly take it upon themselves to avenge the perceived misdeeds of bankers.
  
  Anyway, the Edinburgh Evening News is claiming to have received two emails from a group claiming responsibility for the vandalism. They don't give a name for the group, but they have published the email address from whence the correspondence came.
  
  I still, however, think it was some chancer and not part of an organised campaign. One thing is for sure; anti-terror laws will be used to arrest the criminals.

  If Freddie boy was knighted in 2004 for his 'services to banking' why has he not been stripped of this knighthood given that, with hindsight, he has provided no service at all?

  
  
  Perhaps because he really was of service all along. You presume that our World Leaders don't want the situation we now find ourselves in; after all, it gives the perfect opportunity to introduce their New World Order they're always banging on about.
  
  # Gordon Brown calling for an NWO
  # Tony Blair calling for an NWO
  # Gordon Brown calling for an NWO again
  # George H. W. Bush declaring his dream of an NWO in 1991
  # EU calls for an NWO
  # Kissinger calling for an NWO in 2007
  
  The New World World is not just a turn of phrase for them, it's a project and has been one for a long time. Whatever their prima facie political differences, they're all working towards the same goal -- a one world oligarchical government and a one world economy.

  I suppose that Stephanie F (TALF) and Paul Mason (E Europe) are covering the bigger stories better but surely Robert must have something worthwhile to say; or is he not the Business Editor any more?

  
  
  You could be onto something. After all, it's Stephanie F whom the news presenters turn to for an opinion these days.
  
  Did Peston do or say something to upset his Lord and Master Brown?
• Back to the nineteenth century? 7:06pm on 22 Mar 2009 What is an Anglo-Saxon economy?
  
  Is that one in which the main participants come from another country and henceforth start calling themselves British to the exclusion of the original Pretani peoples?
  
  After all, the British economy is a Celto-Germanic mix, not solely Anglo-Saxon, nevermind those other people's living here.
  
  I'm just puzzled, you see, because I don't understand how ethnicity informs the nature of national economies.
• The Goldman infallibility myth 1:56pm on 16 Mar 2009 bimthedandyandy wrote:
  
  

  But where has all this money gone?
  
  Is it the biggest con job in history? And who are the winners and losers?

  
  
  
  You can add GM to the list of people this question needs to be asked of.
  
  Not only have they received huge bailouts, but they're still going to declare bankruptcy.
  
  So why did the US Govt bail them out when it was inevitable anyway?
