| The rainbow in my lifetime has had quite a reversal, in the 1980s a common edition of the bible aimed at Children and people who are not native english speakers but want to read it in English was the "Good News Bible". The book was bound in a colourful cover for children. On the front was ... |

| Not turning up due to sleeping in too long sounds like lazy, almost any other excuse will be a better one to give. How about your car broke down, just make sure that you turn up for work on time in future. You need to turn up for work on time, depending on the type of job if you can make yourself in... |

| When I was a PhD student, during my last term I contracted into a catered hall for my dinners. Once when I sat down a group of students near me were getting extra glasses of water and acting strange. I gently asked them "is something about to happen ?" They said "yes". I picked u... |

| It does not make sense, the COVID virus is spread through very fine droplets which people inhale. While a surgical mask does not offer much protection to the wearer, some industrial respirators provide a lot of protection to the wearer against fine particles. During some of the worst times in the CO... |

The literature on radiation biology suggests that female fertility is very robust against radiation. Women who have been treated with radiati... |

| I shall graciously explain Marxism in much simpler terms. IT DOES NOT WORK! You are welcome. Very ture, Marxism and Communism do not work. Communism might sound good on paper but in real life it ends badly. There is a joke which sums up it well. " If a man is not a communist at the age of 16 h... |

| The question about the likelyhood of blood cancer in children is not the important one. If the doctor made a mistake and diagnosed cancer when it was not present in a person then it would be a bit of a black eye for the doctor. The real stinker is that the doctor made either a false or reckless or m... |

| But I avoided a formal DX as I was coping in life. Your displayed age is 49. Hopefully that is old enough to have firmly established your identity such that a diagnosis won't become your identity. Your friends and family already know you are odd, with or without a diagnosis. And your work history w... |

| This is a bit of a shocking case of medical misconduct which was done for monetry gain. I think it is a vile fraud and something which the UK's medical authority rightly considered to be deeply wrong. What the doctor did was to make a false diagnosis of cancer in various children and then to sell th... |

| The problem is that the "modern left" is not homogenious, there are people on the left who deny science (these are postmodernists who deny that there is such a thing as a fact). "Feelings are more important that the facts." It staggers a rational mind. The Truth has become unfas... |
