Is anyone else fed up with being gaslit, asks Rebekah Barnett. The latest example is the lying about the Olympic Last Supper. Instantly recognised by literally everyone as a Da Vinci parody, the lies started within hours.

Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5This company is responsible for many deaths and many children being born with deformities in Vietnam. Dow is the creator of AGENT ORANGE wich was sprayed in abundance by the American Military. To this day vast areas of Vietnam are still contaminated, as the chemical has entered the water tables and soil, fish and vegetables are still poisonous.
Why are Tony's Courgettes that is to say Mr Adams Zucchinni not being affected by the contaminated manure? Before launching myself off on a quickish internet background search, I must admit all sorts of theories crossed my mind to be quickly dismissed as the evidence was considered. Could it be the other victim veggies grew underground like carrots and potatoes? Ah! but Tony listed tomatos and beans amongst the vulnerable. Could it be the courgette plant has a different or peculiar kind of veggie metabolism when compared to the others? Hmmmm, well both the courgette & tomato are swollen ovaries of the kind of plants which many a generation of the curious in general and toddler in aspect have pondered (often loudly, persistently & without satisfying reply) to be vegetable or fruit. For in truth they share aspects of the one and appearances of the other. Indeed the ambiguity also includes cucumbers and aubergines & stretches even in this day far beyond the inquisitive intellect to the hard realities of fiscal policy & international trade tariff aplications. A tomato when whole is a veggie when squeezed into a can it is still a veggie yet when squeezed into a carton it is juice and juice doth not come forth from veggies. Or at least that's how the matter is seen in many parts of the USA, where probably evolution is unpopular and they round pi off to 3.1 and leave it that. Closer to the home of civilisation we know that squeezed tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes can coexist quite tastily in the same carton and get called cold soup such as gazpacho & never be thought of as juice.
Anyway, before I went and google and wolfram searched for aminopyralid I had come to the dangerous obstinate state of the "near set idea" & decided Tony Adam's courgettes weren't anamolous but somehow most of the evil shite had been absorbed from the manure by the other foodstuff before his zuchinni had a chance to swell their ovaries. On the net I found an illustration of one gardener's courgette patch which as you can see shows the damage caused by aminopyralid to that plant. I also found a petition taken up by those concerned with the UK's government approach to the problem of this chemical which was withdrawn from the market yet thanks to the lobbyists might appear again in the future. The campaign is live and it seems been building steam since summer 2009

not all courgettes were as a lucky as Tony's. Aminopyralid kills. Fruit, Veggies & no doubt is bad for humans.
Yep, that's why we all need to invest time in gaining access to land and learning/teaching basic and vital skills in growing food and working within our ecosystems including compost making, seed-saving, plant identification and bio-remediation (using living organisms to detoxify our environment).
Running alongside that we have to be making links within our neighbourhoods and communities, growing trust and understanding and maintaining a positive attitude and a sense of where we're going so that no matter what gets thrown at us we have the resilience and resourcefulness to rise to the challenges.
The people behind the GM/Codex agendas want to appear all powerful to us. They are if we give them that power. It's important to be aware what they're up to but spending too much time looking at their side of things can, in my experience, have a hypnotic effect that distracts us from the practical and above all joyful work of creating our own versions of events.

I notice that you mentioned the problem of contaminated manure on your website .My website http://glallotments.co.uk has collated lots of information on this subject with manure pages linked from http://glallotments.co.uk/ACManure.aspx just wanted to update you with the fact that the problem is still affecting gardeners this year. I have added details of reports sent to my website on this page http://glallotments.co.uk/Manureistheproblemback.aspx
As this problem is likely to be with us in hopefully lessening degrees it is very important that as many of us as possible keep reminding gardeners of the need to be cautious when obtaining manure to try and avoid as many gardeners as possible from the heartache of losing their crops and ornamental plants.
I hope you will help keep the problem in gardeners minds
