A doctor has been struck off the medical register after it was found that he had proscribed puberty blockers to a nine-year-old after a ten-minute skype session. Dr. Michael Webberley has had his name scrubbed from the medical register after it was found that his treatment of 24 patients constituted a “catalogue of failings”. One of these patients was a nine-year-old who supposedly wanted to be a boy, with Webberley proscribing the child puberty blockers after a Skype consultation that lasted only ten minutes. According to a report by The Telegraph , Webberley ran the extremely controversial “ GenderGP ” online clinic, which used legal loopholes to get EU doctors to proscribe British children with sex-change drugs, with seven of the 24 patients reviewed by a tribunal being related to the service. A consultant gastroenterologist, the tribunal found that Webberley has acted “outside the limits of his expertise” in his actions, lacking the necessary qualifications … [Read more...] about Doc Loses Licence After Giving ‘Trans’ 9-Year-Old Drugs on Skype Call

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the West to stop playing around with Russia and impose tougher sanctions on Moscow to end its "senseless war" in Ukraine, adding his country would remain independent, the only question was at what price. Mr. Zelensky's criticism of the West has mounted in recent days as the European Union moves slowly towards a possible Russian oil embargo and as thousands of Russian forces try to encircle two key eastern cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk. Meanwhile, United States officials say the Biden administration is aiming to lead the international bloc opposed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into a broader coalition to counter what it sees as a more serious, long-term threat to global order from China.

Three-homes Rishi Sunak today said he "doesn't need" up to £1,200 in energy bills help from his own government - and will give it to charity. The Tory Chancellor admitted he is borrowing another £10bn for a £400-per-household discount from October that the wealthiest do not need. People with second homes will even get £800 and people with third homes £1,200 - if they pay all those homes' energy bills. But instead of denying them a payment, Mr Sunak challenged them to "set an example" and donate the money to charity. Mr Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty have entered the Sunday Times Rich List as the 222nd-wealthiest people in Britain with a joint £730m fortune - mostly thanks to his wife's shares in her father's firm. They are thought to have three UK homes - a listed manor with a swimming pool in Yorkshire, and a flat and townhouse in London. The Tory Chancellor admitted he is borrowing another £10bn for a £400-per-household discount that the wealthiest do not need ( … [Read more...] about Three-homes Rishi Sunak ‘doesn’t need’ bills help and will give it to charity

Jamie Oliver ’s heart is clearly in the right place but his antennae for reality would appear to need a service. The celebrity chef led a march on Downing Street last Friday to protest against a government decision to delay banning buy-one-get-one-free (BOGOF) offers on fattening junk food. So far, so fair enough. Trouble is, timing is everything and during a cost of living crisis the last thing the kind of people struggling to eat want to hear is a celebrity chef with a small fortune who doesn’t want for very much telling them how they should eat. For those people, a BOGOF meal eases the pressure on their finances and is, perhaps, a lunch meal on a day when they otherwise wouldn’t eat. So it really is no surprise he is suffering a backlash. Oliver strikes you as a down-to-earth sort with a grasp on the way real people live. The lending of his voice has helped to force child obesity to the top of the government agenda. The chef protested after the government dropped an … [Read more...] about ‘Jamie Oliver should try to force prices down, not lecture struggling families’

Children in England are being prescribed sex change drugs by foreign doctors over the internet without any parental consent, an investigation by a British newspaper has claimed. In the UK, the prescription of puberty blockers to children under the age of 16 has been mostly barred since December, unless expressly signed off by two specialist doctors and later approved by a court. However, an undercover investigation by the Daily Telegraph found that Europe-based online clinics are using a legal loophole to skirt the regulations. Despite Brexit, pharmacies in Britain are still accepting prescriptions — with a few exceptions — from doctors within the EU, allowing online clinics in Europe to prescribe English patients over the internet. In the investigation, a reporter posed as a 15-year-old girl who was seeking gender reassignment therapy. The online clinic, GenderGP, was reported to have prescribed the ‘child’ testosterone, after just two consultations over Skype and … [Read more...] about EU Doctors Prescribing Sex Change Drugs to British Children Online
