Immigration again being demonised as the underlying problem of Britain today. What about all the benefits that immigration brings? Immigrants support the NHS, social care, higher education, agriculture & so many other industries. Inequality is the heart of the problem.

One of the early reviews of my book says that the writing is 'too simplistic'. I write how I speak & think- and maybe the way I express myself is in simple language, but it's the way I process and translate (for myself) a complex world of ideas and data. www.penguin.co.uk/books/458539...

The biggest modern con is politicians convincing people that their lives are harder because of immigrants. Instead of the increasing number of billionaires & wealth concentration at the top. Politics too often about protecting the billionaires instead of normal people.

Egg prices are directly linked to avian flu- H5N1- spreading on poultry farms with high lethality in chickens. If you want cheaper eggs, then deal with the disease. That requires science, public health & vet experts.

After building a career pushing anti-vax views, Robert Kennedy said today (at his confirmation hearings) that all his kids are vaccinated. Don’t look at what he says (anti-vax is a lucrative position)- look at what he does.

Egg prices in the States- which became such an issue during the election- continue to rise because of bird flu- it’s killing off chickens & spreading on poultry farms. If you want cheaper eggs, then deal with avian flu first.
