Minced Veal?
Let him eat Scouse.

He's not on the front line, in fact very far from it, and nice and safe.
No harm in that per se, but don't keep pretending that you are a hero Ade, and try and get freebies from White Stuff for yourself. Shameful really.

I've ordered some Arla Skyr specifically because of Dr H. Looking forward to it now I've heard it's comparable to clotted cream! Grin

Me too! I thought Skyr was that acidic type of yogurt but if it’s an excuse to eat clotted cream for breakfast then I’m in Grin

I thought it was "that acidic type of yogurt" too! I have Crème fraîche with just about everything so I will give Arla Skyr a whirl for a change Smile

Lol at minced veal. If he thinks the women's rights threads are a den of vipers can you imagine him trying to justify that on one of the more hardcore Corona threads? Grin Carnage.

I already had some Arla Skyr but shall be savouring it this evening (with nuts, bananas & honey)

news.arlafoods.co.uk/cooperative/milk-price

"We take great pride in our democratic structure which represents farmer owners across Europe. Farmers are elected as district representatives at a local level as well as being elected onto Arla's Board of Representatives. Farmer members of these boards define the pricing model which is used to determine the farmgate milk price on a monthly basis.

As well as being paid monthly for the milk they provide, once a year, Arla distributes its profits between all of its farmer owners in its supplementary payment, known as the 13th payment. The 13th payment is equally distributed to all farmer owners; proportionate to the amount and quality of milk they supply rather than based on their equity investment in Arla."

VickieEadieofThigh and MigZig those dirty diggers down under have discounted that theory, for the time being at least.

Young people! Get your meds from a disgraced GP (Dr Webberley of Gender GP).

Parents! Your instincts are not always right.

Wow. Reeks of misogyny and control. Hopefully he can find something else to occupy him on Twitter soon.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g that's interesting about the X and Y chromosomes.

This article is also quite fascinating. www.wired.co.uk/article/coronavirus-death-men-women

"Women mount stronger immune responses than men – except during pregnancy to avoid attacking and rejecting the foetus growing inside them – which could be another plausible explanation for the emerging picture of male susceptibility to the Covid-19 disease. In a series of experiments in 2016 and 2017, microbiologists from the University of Iowa infected male and female mice with the coronavirus that caused Sars, and as had happened in humans, male mice were more likely to die. But when the team removed the ovaries from females, their death rates shot up suggesting that the hormone oestrogen somehow protected them from Sars."

(Just a reminder they are talking about mice, not people!)

SunsetBeech - that's worrying! Harrop says he is working from home dealing with calls to NHS 111 - that can't be as an initial call handler so presumably as a "Clinical Advisor".

Meaning that someone could call NHS 111 and Harrop could be advising them to pay for private health advice and services from an online company run by a pair of doctors who have both been suspended by the GMC and are not permitted to practice in the UK. Helen Webberley had already been barred from practicing in Wales before she was suspended by the GMC.

The Webberley's say that they use (employ? contract?) legit medics to provide clinical services but presumably the Webberley's are responsible for supervising those medics.

Why refer someone to the Webberley's, rather than to an NHS service or to an uncompromised private service in the UK?

WTAF is he even thinking of conducting clinical consultations and providing medical advice in public on social media!?

"i’d advise having a conversation with someone at GenderGP to see whether there is a safe compromise that can be reached, based on your previous results, current dosing, individual risk factors etc. - i’m sure they’d be open to discussing some alternative options with you."

What the GMC says

"14. You must not use publicly accessible social media to discuss individual patients or their care with those patients or anyone else"

I hope he does not have any "Conflicts of Interest" or that would be another breach of ethics

"19 When you post material online, you should be open about any conflict of interest and declare any financial or commercial interests in healthcare organisations or pharmaceutical and biomedical companies."

Arla Skyr? Great. I’ll start using it for my overnight oats.

Bought Cravendale - had no idea it was from a farmer's co-op, so, this is brilliant.

Been buying Skyr for a while now, it's lovely. Will convert to Arla products where I see them, and actively look for them.

Take that, Flora.
