@bethanyshondark One way of thinking about this problem is if your best friend came to you really upset about something that happened to them, would you leave them alone in a room until they learned how to conduct themselves properly?
@bethanyshondark IMHO Children need adults to co-regulate their emotions alongside them. The behavioural approach being advocated here is common but misguided. It’s not discussion they need but empathy to be able to regulate & gain the skills to deal with strong emotions. Check out John Gottman.
@michaeljswalker This strikes me as the ‘Big Society’ idea of the Sunak ‘era’. Back of an envelope stuff just before an election, pretty meaningless (& won’t happen) and kind of red meat for the Tory base (plays on conscription tropes that are so popular in certain corners of British society).
@lizctucker @TranspariMED @DrNancyOlivieri @eturnermd1 @FructoseNo @RxISK @woodymatters @SarahJPharm @jen_unwin @LDLSkeptic V. interesting. Pity that campaigns against ‘the war on drugs’ and movements for safer prescription drugs, including calls for reduction in antibiotics, exist in separate silos. I can see why they are viewed differently but I would like to see a unified campaign. Anyone agree?
@LeifBersweden These resemble colour photographs by the German artist Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932), who I call an accidental photographer, as he simply captured images of nature for his students to use as still life forms and ended up creating a collection of lasting value and beauty.
@GeorgeMonbiot Genuine question: meat is not a novel part of human diet. The toxic food culture that surrounds us is. Overeating, processed carbs & SUGAR now everywhere and chronic ill health. Is meat getting the blame for what highly processed food does?
@Brock69460928 @SizweLo I grew up in South Africa in the 1960s & 70s and I witnessed this first hand and found it disturbing at the time and have thought about it a lot since then.

@CigsMake So was this. From 1960s South African recipe book.
@OU_Williams I have invited it, to some extent. Interesting to view the outrage that ‘the markets’ control policies and amusing to see the anger about the media controlling’the narrative’ ( I mean, who knew?)
@MattGubba A process of dismantling state institutions and the integration of (global) commercial interests into the public sphere began over 40 years ago, brought about by Conservative forces. This recent debacle is the logical outcome of a polity supported by Tories for decades.
@YairWallach Yep, it is unusual to have someone speaking in RP saying something out of the ordinary. Refreshing really. That's why he stands out and we know his name, I guess. I'm old enough to remember Paul Foot, declaiming poetry while eviscerating the establishment in Oxbridge tones.
@YairWallach That goes for a lot of people in the British public sphere. Sounds like you don't like what he says. Do you want to be more specific?
@zoeharcombe Never before heard Conservatives complain about it before, mind. This is new.
@zoeharcombe Have you seen what Marx and Engels had to say about this in 1848? The Communist Manifesto: “The executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie". ‘In office but not in power’, in common parlance.
@darrengrimes Evidence for this has been around since at least 1848. Marx & Engels in the Communist Manifesto: “The executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie". Welcome to the concept of ‘in office but not in power’.
@wordsbyjayj As @VoltefaceHub noted Labour’s 2019 manifesto represented a sea change in Labour policy, taking a health based approach. The Royal Commission route may have been timid, but it was a start. That probably wasn’t headline news as the attack on Corbyn was focused elsewhere.
