“Many years ago, there used to be something called ‘conflict of interest.’ No longer, I’m afraid. Today, we all bathe in the same river.” ― Gore Vidal, The Last Empire: Essays 1992-2000
When the hapless and ineffectual Therese Coffey resigned from her post as Secretary of State for The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs many people would have heaved a big sigh of relief. At last Rishi Sunak might appoint someone who could bring the river and sea polluting water companies to heel.
That pipe dream was shattered within 24 hours. Sunak has appointed Steve Barclay as the new Environment Secretary, the man who refused to talk to doctors and nurses during the NHS pay and recruitment strikes, leading to a massive increase in NHS waiting lists.
Although Therese Coffey was useless at controlling the polluting water companies, she at least had the advantage of not being in bed with any of them. Barclay can make no such claim as his wife is a senior executive at Anglian Water.
Anglian Water has attracted headlines like these:
“Anglian Water ordered to pay £156,000 for sewage pollution. The court found that negligence and a lack of maintenance were to blame." (GOV.UK: 13/09/19)
And
“Anglian Water has been fined more than £1.2m after admitting causing pollution in three counties.” (BBC News: 17/10/22)
And
“Anglian Water fined £2.65m after sewage discharged into North Sea. Largest ever fine imposed for environmental offences in the East region.” (GOV.UK: 28/05/23)
The Anglian Water annual financial statement for 2020/21 recorded group revenues of £1,351.8 million, with an increase in profits of £68.2 million. The Financial Times (21/06/22) reported that:
“Anglian Water pays £392 mn dividend to owners as customer bills rise.”
And in November of this year it was reported that Anglian Water:
“...paid its executives an eye-watering "£2,424.555 in pay and perks last year.” (Yahoo News: 14/11/23)
Maybe I am being cynical but I cannot see Steve Barclay doing anything that is likely to jeopardise his wife’s (and by extension, his family’s ) income, can you?

I have been reading stories about women complaining about doctors not listening to them for two decades.
The idea that it is in any way related to "gender ideology" or "wokery" is pure, unadulterated, fantasy bullshit.
This tool of a Health Secretary is going to spend thousands -- maybe tens of thousands -- of pounds to take the NHS back to the dark ages. And that is money that could actually be used to improve it -- money for staff salaries, money to fix buildings, money to improve services.
But no -- instead of actually doing something useful, he is going to spend it on a bigoted, transphobic agender because the Tory party wants to pander to the religious right and the racist, bigoted fucks in its own base.
There are literally no words to describe how fucked up this is -- the NHS is in a death spiral and they are going to make it worse.
What a bunch of dicks.

"Die Right Now": Health Secretary's Advice to the UK People During NHS Strikes
With NHS Nurses and Ambulances set for extended strikes beginning this week, Health Secretary Steve Barclay calms public concerns as to what this would mean for patients needing care, saying everyone will be unaffected, provided they all die right now.

My original theory for S2 and the Stalker has completely been obliterated, and honestly from all the new big names attached to it, and the smaller names, it’s a lot to fit in only 8 episodes.
The cast is very crowded for an 8-episode season. With limited time and “space” in the story, I feel like with Wednesday the only common thread and obviously will be in every episode, and Ortega herself saying each episode will feel like its own movie, I feel like most of the actors will actually only get one episode.
There’s also some indication that some of the students have already wrapped up their filming (specifically Joy Sunday via IG posts who is a top billed star), which is very short to me if true and insinuates to me that only one or two episode will be at the school. Which also supports the other rumours that the Addams estate will be heavily featured.
I would like it if some of the students got a significant B plot to explore their characters more throughout the season, but I don’t have confidence in the writers to explore anyone but Wednesday. So far, every other character is just a prop for her.
My new theory is that the season will start at the Addams estate. Maybe a funeral to intro many new Addamses. Then each subsequent episode will have her deal with different Addamses and the family lore.
She’s also supposed to be on a break, so starting at the Addams estate makes sense to me.
In no particular order, but what I think will be included in episodes:
1: We see Wednesday’s home life and more interaction and possible backstory to her friction with Morticia. This will include Morticia, Gomez, Pugsly, and Grandmama. I don’t think Pubert exists in this universe.
2: Uncle Fester centered episode which will also serve as a backdoor pilot to his spinoff.
3-6: She visits with various Addamses, really expanding the Wednesday universe, each with their own issues she has to figure out. So, each episode is more or less a procedural, horror mystery/ “Outcast of the week” This will include Noah Taylor, Billie Piper, Christopher Lloyd, Francis O’Connor, Haley Joel Osmet, Heather Matarazzo, Joonas Suotamo.
Besides just having something to do over break, perhaps Wednesday visits family to test the stalker’s reach, who is still sending her proof of being stalked. When back at Nevermore, she finally figures out who the stalker is because she has eliminated who it couldn’t be based on how they’re able to stalk her from family member to family member and then back to Nevermore.
7-8: Break is over and they’re back at Nevermore. Enid will heavily be featured to talk about her status as a transformed wolf within her pack. Maybe talk about some issues with Ajax because he’s not a werewolf and now she has more options within the Werewolf community. We’ll also see what happened to Tyler and Sheriff Galpin. And it’ll introduce the new faculty at Nevermore.
Maybe Tyler confronts his dad about what he knew about his wife being a Hyde, if anything, and what it means to have a half-outcast child. Galpin will talk his son into accepting his responsibility in what happened, and Tyler voluntarily turns himself in and Thandiwe Newton is his new therapist, perhaps at the same insane asylum his mother.
Wednesday visits him before he’s on a long absence to get his powers and mental health in order. They make peace.
New students Evie Templeton and Owen Painter will feature. I wonder if Owen will be Enid’s triangle love interest, as he has dark, pale features like Ajax. Perhaps she has a type. lol
Xavier, Divina, Kent, and Yoko’s absence will be explained that their families feel that Nevermore has gone downhill and they are pulled from the school to attend an alternative Outcast school.
Steve Buscemi as the new Headmaster will do something to spring into the 3rd season and we’re left with a question about something. lol

Double Whammy
According to Diabetes UK 4.3 million people in Britain have diabetes, 90% of these having the avoidable type 2 diabetes. Diabetes costs the NHS £10 billion a year, and in some hospitals over a quarter of beds are taken up by people with diabetes. The number of people with diabetes has doubled in the last 15 years and is continuing to rise.
The great tragedy of type 2 diabetes is that it is largely avoidable.
“Research shows that living with obesity is the single greatest risk factor, and accounts for 80-85% of someone's risk of developing the condition, and our previous data revealed that the number of people living with obesity in England has almost doubled in the last 20 years from 6.9 to 13 million." (Diabetes UK: 05/04/21)
One of the major causes of obesity is the consumption of ultra-processed foods such as mass produced bread, pre-packaged meals, breakfast cereals, sausages and other reconstituted meat products, yoghurts with sweeteners or stabilizers, chicken nuggets, frozen meals, crisps, soft drinks, biscuits, etc.
We may think we can avoid ultra-processed foods but the evidence suggests otherwise. According to the Guardian (02/02/18):
“Half of all the food bought by families in the UK is now “ultra-processed”, made in a factory with industrial ingredients and additives invented by food technologists and bearing little resemblance to the fruit, vegetables, meat or fish used to cook a fresh meal at home."
As bad as ultra-processed foods are for adult health, think how much worse they must be for the heath of developing children, yet
“Almost a third of baby and toddler foods sold in the UK are ultra-processed, risking children’s long-term health and development." (Guardian: 08/05/23)
This Tory government has known about the links between ultra-processed foods and the rise in diabetes for years.
“MPs have criticised the Department of Health and the NHS in England for being "too slow" to act in preventing and treating diabetes… Being overweight is the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes, and 90% of adults with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese.” (BBC: 22/01/16)
Despite this knowledge, the government, rather than introducing policies to wean people off ultra-processed food, is actively promoting its consumption. As recently as February this year Sunak’s Tory government was recommending ultra-processed food as part of a healthy diet.
“An app launched by the UK government, supposed to encourage healthy eating, has been found to be promoting ultra-processed foods.” (www.schoolfoodmatters.org:01/02/23)
The Grocer magazine (25/05.21) asked this question:
“Why is government incapable of saying ‘avoid ultra-processed food’?”
The answer is provided in Great British Life (18/05/23) when it reported:
“The Soil Association said it was “deeply concerned” about the influence of the food and drink industry on UK health policy as the NHS Food Scanner app continued to recommend biscuits, cakes, crisps, chocolate puddings and fizzy pop as “good” options for a healthy diet.”
The sad truth is, this Tory government puts corporate profit before public health. Our health, and especially that of our children's, is being put at serious risk so that the giant food companies can continue to reap massive profits.
“Millions of people in UK facing food poverty as supermarkets announce record profits.” (Sustain: 22/05/22)
But this isn’t just a UK problem.
“Top 100 Food and Beverage Companies for 2022: A Year of Succulent Profits. 2021 could be called the year of meat and soft drinks. All of the top companies in those two categories had blowout years, adding billions of dollars to their top lines and similarly handsome increases to their bottom lines.” (Food Processing: 05.08.22)
The food-processing companies and the big British supermarkets are both powerful and influential when it comes to determining government food policies. They are motivated by one thing only: profit. If the largest profit to be made is by promoting and selling ultra-processed food then so be it. To the supporters of neo-liberal free market economics the only duty of corporate management is to maximise profits for their shareholders. Any concern for the health or social consequences of their actions is in the words of Milton Friedman ”pure and unadulterated socialism” and no Tory government wants that.
But where is the “double whammy” of the title? It is in the insane situation whereby the government is now offering a “cure” for obesity by making a drug, costing millions of pounds, available on the NHS.
“THE UK should be "front of the pack" in dishing out weight loss drugs to obese Brits, Steve Barclay said today.
The Health Secretary last night announced a £40million two-year pilot that will look at ways to make obesity medicine accessible to patients outside of hospitals.” (Sun: 07/06/23)
Rather than curing obesity at source, by reducing the amount of ultra-processed foods we are being sold, the government is giving taxpayers money to the big pharmaceutical companies to produce weight-reducing drugs. The message is clear, people are to be to encouraged to go on eating ultra-processed food, and then be supplied with a drug to reduce the excess weight gain that results. It’s a win-win situation. The food-processing companies and super markets go on making massive profits, and the pharmaceutical companies go on making massive profits. The only losers are our children and the 28% of England’s population who are already grossly over-weight, but who cares about them? Clearly not Steve Barclay or Rishi Sunak.
