    Half of London is owned by people that don't even live in the UK. This is not mainly an emigration problem, but a problem of legislation - UK is one of the few countries that allows non residents to buy property. I am not entering into the reasons why and who benefits from it

    I have worked in the Gulf countries and South East Asia,, which use foreign workers across their economies. However, they don't give permanent residency, visas are for a specified period of time. These countries have very strict enforcement, unlike the UK, so migrants don't overstay their visas and employers don't employ illegal immigrants.

      Exactly, we're always told these immigrants are for economic purposes, but of that were true we'd allow in only economically productive people on work permits, and then they'd leave before they became net takers (I.e. when they start having children and using schools etc).

      @@jdg9999 they can be from leftist view (they dont think debt ever has to be paid back so in essence money is infinite) -> so more people allow some people to get share of tax revenue with some sort of "representative manner" (how socialist,communist systems work), ie I run some random NGO, so in essence I as chairman of that org get to decide say 5mn£ money and sugarcoated "Im doing good for these people". Same with company subsidies, city programs and many others. Thats how I see this. They need "people" to argue why they must get more money over some other taxpayer paid target. (people=number in excel, name in database; not organic person you would need to say hello to)
      Just most european countries have wokened after 20-30 years of socialist/"do good" policies and turned to more right wing coz money has run out. UK was close to bankcrupt september, though Im not sure Truss was to blame, it was theatric play... (but ingredients similar as 1992 Soros tried to crash pound+UK economy same way).
      If ya live in public sector bubble, money is "free" and you only need to care to keep your job and how to get more of this magical free money from some bureacracy sham system.

    Enhanced athletes should not be glorified by having their own games. Drugging is harmful for people and to encourage it is wrong. The guy with his excuses about people who eat too much sugar or drink too much caffeine has a spurious argument. Doctors discourage these practices the same way they discourage chemical enhancement through hormones or other means. Long term drug abuse, whether it's too much sugar, too much alchohol or too many hormones is bad for people for in the long run, even though the short term benefits may seem beneficial or "fun".

    Isabel Hardman is obviously not a science graduate and doesn’t know much about nutrition if she thinks that a calorie derived from avocado is equal to a calorie derived from jam. In fact calories are not fungible. What matters is the glycemic index or the speed with which the food results in an increase in blood sugar level. So it is a waste of time counting calories.
    Metabolic health can be improved by replacing carbohydrates by healthy fats , which are converted to ketones, which are a healthier source of energy than glucose.

    Enhanced games:
    1) I am not interested in watching a sport where the athletes are playing a game of chicken to see who is willing to poison themselves the most. The winner will be the athlete who keels over and dies only after reaching the finishing line.
    2) I am not interested in a sport where the winners are not people, but pharmaceutical companies. The winner will be decided not by an individual's hard work, but by which pharmaceutical company can come up with the best cocktail.

    Several pints about drugs and sport.
    1) Taking PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) is not necessarily dangerous if taken under medical supervision - easier to do if no subterfuge is necessary
    2) I would guess that in athletics, cycling and swimming the majority of Olympic finalists are using PEDs.
    3) Scientific advances are responsible for much of the current rash of world records in athletics - improvements (very considerable) in track surfaces and shoe technology.
    4) Many sports in the Olympics are not open to everyone because of the cost of equipment; how many medals in rowing and cycling are won by athletes from poorer countries?
    5) As many bike races have said; it's pointless telling us that PEDs are dangerous. They are no more dangerous than racing downhill at 60 mph or engaging in a bunch sprint on a narrow road!

    The health view seams to be upside down as I see it.
    The performance enhancement to me is sacrificing your future long term health for your current more short term health.
    And from the other side modern day food advice is to not eat (or eat less) nutrient's and to measure your intake with calories often sugar's or fast burning carbs.
    The problem is when your body has got enough glucose with is no effort at all to extract from the sugars and little effort from fast carbs it presume's the best place to store the more nutritious food is in long term storage.
    Witch manifests as extra body fat, even worse you glucose (metabolism) gets disorder't, witch eventually can lead to diabetes.
    The good thing is the solution is not complex, limit blood-sugar in amount as preventative or as fracture of your full day with limited damage, and you start to call it (intermittent) fasting when you want to refers the damage already done.
    Every body and nutrition intake is individual witch makes the solution hard to asses unless you know when your body makes the switch form a glucose to a ketogenic metabolism.

    Id want organic sports and 'juiced' sports to be partitioned, relay I like small local sports. Big sports are for the 0.001% with near perfect genetics, even juiced athletes at a high level will end up being the 0.001%. Local sports are for normal people, it what id want to see pushed more.
    The main problem as always is the general public un educated use of juice, there can be a lot of side effects when used un supervised use. As with the war on drugs it ends up helping crime and not paying tax as people move to illegal ways to get what they want. The change in America on legalization has shown the tax benefits, it also gets people clean stuff.

    THE ZOE PROGRAMME - MONITORING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS: I think Isabel has missed the point here... I dont know about the Zoe programme and Im unlikely to pay into that but eating low GI (slow sugar releasing foods) do help you lose weight. Knowing what foods to eat to sustain good blood sugar levels (so you dont have a sugar spike and then a dip and yoyo & later in life end up with diabetes) and therefore energy levels is good for having a productive day and helping to lose weight. (See Tom Watson's book, 'Downsizing', he used much of Michael Moseleys research on this and it included slow sugar releasing foods (low GI)).
    Yes your blood sugar does naturally spike after you have eaten but there are degrees to this. So if for example the obvious one is refined sugar, it goes straight into your blood stream, causes a serious spike to blood sugar and an insulin rush and then you will come crashing down pretty quickly and be hungry again.. First class protein (meat, eggs, milk) say if eaten with refined sugar will slow down the sugar rush. The sugar in an apple goes into your system slower because of the fibre is designed to slow it down (nature knows best :-) ) and covering it in peanut butter adds fat and amino acids (some elements of protein, first class protein has all 26 amino acids, peanut butter doesnt). Not that that is something I would want to do !! 🙂
    So i think monitoring blood sugar level is going to help some people to keep steady energy levels and therefore help lose weght and have more energy for their daily tasks. It is something that would interest me, dont think i would pay £200 for it though...
    Im no nutritionist but have read up on nutrition a bit in the 1980's (some lady i cant remember) and in the 1990's, influenced by a guy called Patrick Holford who is still around today. Back then learnt about healthy oils, healthy gut bacteria before it was really public knowledge. I would say that today I dont look my age because of knowing a bit about nutrition and applying it to some extent.
    The other thing that is interesting that Holford said back in the 1990's is that there was hardly any evidence of statins stopping heart attacks. They lower blood cholestorol but there was no evidence for them stopping heart attacks. However they have serious side effects, effecting peoples strength and balance, causing many falls in the elderly. At the time my friend took her parents (aged in the 70's) off of them and their quality of life improved significantly and they stopped having falls.
    Recently i asked my doctor if the above was true and she said yes, there is no evidence of Statins stopping heart attacks...
