HOSPITALITY SECTOR IN RECESSION

Featured in this video, radio today the Hospitality sector in the UK is facing the most closures in 2024 and it is the tip of the iceberg. In my experience locally, a lot of venues haven't recovered from the lockdowns and with the cost of living crisis, many people can't afford to spend while their energy costs have gone up again. Plus there are far too many bars and especially cafes. One business that I used to frequent, no longer open for lunch, they don't even open until 4pm. They say its no longer cost-effective to provide lunch, they stopped providing lunch in 2023. 

Retail sector has shrunk, it contracted in 2023 due to the cost of living crisis. Plus a lot more people buy from charity shops and on-line. What I noticed in 2023 in charity shops, it was clear that people weren't changing their furniture and soft furnishings has much as they were in previous years. Hence, there was a lot less choice available. 

This guy gives advice on house purchasing. Mortgage rates have dropped because it is a very competitive market because the housing market is very slow. When I was looking at an area for a friend, my advice was when it is cheaper to buy than rent, it is time to buy. Also in that rural area, the local estate agents were saying that it is taking much longer to sell first buyer homes because a lot of first time buyers don't have the deposits saved up enabling them to purchase. First time buyers really require a minimum of 5-10% deposit plus legal fees. 

They also said that family homes were selling the fastest. So it is a good market for first time buyers that have saved up their deposit and fees. Especially, if you are able move to a cheaper area and you have a mortgage lined up and a secure job. There is a lack of bungalows because house builders haven't been building them. Hence, elderly people are finding it difficult to move to where they would like to move too. If there were more bungalows available for elderly people, that would free up more family homes. 

When it is cheaper to buy rather than rent, then that is a good time to buy if you have a secure job. Although for first time buyers I recommend that you buy a 2 bed has a minimum because if you do then get into financial difficulty, you have a room to rent out, until you have overcome your situation. 

Charlie says that the housing market is a falling market, and gives advice on the best way to buy in this market. I don't think prices are falling in areas where properties are a lot cheaper than elsewhere. 



ANDREW BRIDGEN REJECTS WEF

Nice one! Andrew Bridgen MP was invited to attend DAVOS on the same day that he is speaking in parliament on excess deaths. WEF are clearly courting MPs in the UK. 




NO! DR MEGAN ROSSI

Not all doctors are up-to-date on the science of nutrition and Dr Meghan Rossi is one of those doctors. Rossi would have you all on a high oxalate diet that is the major cause of degenerative conditions and chronic disease. Be careful who you listen too, a lot of influencers are pushing a plant-based diet that is high in oxalates. Is the NHS Eatwell Guide any better? Nope!

I highly recommend that all medics read Sally K Norton's book on oxalates, it's titled "Toxic Superfoods". Sally has degrees in Nutrition and Public Health.

UK BEEF FARMING

British beef farmers should be celebrating, Irish and Scottish beef farmers too, the UK enjoys almost perfect growing conditions for grass-fed yet the UK media keep on blaming our farmers for climate change. This farmer shares the facts in response to a CH4 attack on beef farming. 


Has Jesus said, "Don't Worry". The food stores this Christmas said that our people chose beef this Christmas instead of Turkeys. Also at least 10% of dog owners in the UK feed their dogs with raw meat, bone and offal too. 


UK ECONOMY SERIOUS TROUBLE

An Australian's view of the UK economy being in serious trouble. Instead of increasing highly skilled people in the UK, we are shedding them. While this is happening, mass migration is having a huge impact. For instance, recent European research has proven that non-western migrants are costing each country billions each a year, there is no benefit from non-western migration of unskilled workers. 

Plus 48% of people living in social housing in London, have been given to people that weren't born in the UK. 82% of babies born in Brent in one year were also born to foreign nationals. Only 15% of the people that come into the UK are on work visas with the intention to work, and it has been proven that we are not importing highly skilled workers. So again, a cost to the economy. 

Mass migration has cost the UK economy a fortune, no wonder the UK is trillions in debt. Maggie Thatcher was correct when she warned parliament that they planned to make the poor, poorer, they certainly did. Salaries in real terms haven't increased since the 80s, while the rich get richer on the backs of the poor. Scripture is also correct. 

These are tiny Islands, that are densely overpopulated, with a sewage system and infrastructure that can't cope with all of the extra people. Farmers told the Daily Mail in 2023, that they're feeding a population of 100M, sewage workers say the same on population. 

Mass migration is a drain on the public purse and has to be stopped. In the 70s the trade unions were against joining the EU because they knew that there wouldn't be jobs for everyone in this timeline, they knew open borders would have a very detrimental impact upon our work force, standard of living and quality of life. Then there is Ai to contend with and that technology will reduce the size of the job  market too. Changing times are not always beneficial or prosperous for British families when the rich are lining their own pockets.

KIDNEY FAILURE/OXALATES

This article is from Sally K Norton on how Kidney Failure was stopped on a low oxalate diet. Sally K Norton is the author of "Toxic Superfoods", a book all about Oxalates and the harm they are causing. 

In this case the Kidney Failure was due to weight loss surgery. 


Key Points for Kidney Health

Minerals are lost from foods and the body due to high oxalate content of our diets. 

Oxalates causes gut damage, and damage to other organs too. 

Spinach has a lot of soluble oxalate in it. 

Bacteria that degrade oxalate are in short supply, cannot be replaced with probiotics and can only do so much to protect us from high oxalated foods. 

A low oxalate diet can be perfectly nourishing and safe. We have no nutritional requirements for any high oxalate food. 



Medical paper on the impact of Oxalates on the Kidneys/Kidney Failure. 


Dietary Oxalate Intake and Kidney Outcomes 


Oxalate in Kidney Disease. Harvard research. 


Oxalates don't only impact upon the kidneys, oxalates received by consuming high oxalate foods are involved in all degenerative conditions and chronic diseases. Bear in mind that one medium sized potato is nearly 80mg of oxalates and women only excrete 30mg per day in their urine. Men excrete 40mg in their urine per day. Children can't excrete oxalates at all. 

Animals also suffer from high oxalate diets e.g. dogs that get degenerative conditions and chronic diseases. One of the reasons that I have stopped giving my dog any sweet potato and have reduced the amount of carrot that he is allowed to have. Pumpkin is a good alternative if you make homemade treats and so is swede. I also ground up pumpkin seeds to put in his treats too.
