Coleen Nolan: I do need to lose a LOT of weight … but there’ll always be a fat girl trying to get out
Breaking down in tears live on TV, Coleen Nolan wished the ground would swallow her up. TV medic Dr Christian Jessen had broken the news to the viewers of ITV’s Loose Women that she is three stone overweight – and Coleen braced herself for even more. That she had diabetes, heart disease, or something even worse. “I was mortified to hear I was that overweight,” she says. “I knew it was coming, but I literally thought it would be a stone – not three. I nearly fell off my chair. “I was dreading him saying something even more horrific, that my lifestyle – being overweight and smoking 35 fags a day – meant I’d made myself sick.” Luckily the worse news never came. “Part of the tears were down to relief,” Coleen explains. “But I was massively embarrassed too.

Woman mortified after attempting to save sheep – but ending up needing rescuing herself
A woman who tried to heroically save a stricken sheep has been left feeling embarrassed after she also got stuck and had to be rescued when the RSPCA turned up to assist with the animal. The red-faced adventurer and her partner spotted the ewe stranded on a narrow ledge in a quarry in Ilston, near Swansea, South Wales, and without a second thought, the woman clambered 12ft (3.6 metres) up the rockface to try and save it. But after realising how high up she was and getting scared, the woman was unable to get herself back down the rockface and was left frozen in place until the RSPCA turned up to help free the farm animal . Eventually, RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Andrew Harris was able to get the woman to safety, while firemen were called in to save the sheep. The animal was unable to get itself out of the quarry ( Image: RSPCA/Triangle News) It was rescued by the RSPCA and firemen ( Image: RSPCA/Triangle News) Get the news you want straight to … [Read more...] about Woman mortified after attempting to save sheep – but ending up needing rescuing herself
Majority of Black British women suffer side effects from hair relaxers such as burnt scalp, study finds
Two thirds of Black British women have experienced painful side effects – including burnt scalps and hair loss – from using hair relaxers, new research has revealed. A study of 1,024 Black British women aged 25-44, conducted by feminist group Level Up and Black hair care company Treasure Tress, found that over 95 per cent of Black British women do not trust big beauty brands to sell them safe products. Some 97 per cent of respondents believe hair products containing lye – also known as sodium hydroxide – should be banned. The survey, the first of its kind in Britain, sought to understand Black women’s experiences of hair relaxers, uncovering some startling experiences of ailments developed following use of such products. Hair relaxers that contain lye, a harsh chemical used in drain unblockers, have been linked to a range of health problems among Black British women including breast cancer, hormone imbalance, asthma, fibroids and fertility problems. … [Read more...] about Majority of Black British women suffer side effects from hair relaxers such as burnt scalp, study finds
Breakthrough battery device absorbs C02 while it charges
Scientists have created a battery -like device that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding atmosphere while it charges. The supercapacitor, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, is around the size of a two-pence coin and can be built using low-cost and sustainable materials like coconut shells and seawater. It is hoped the device can be used to power carbon capture technologies, which currently require huge amounts of energy and are costly to operate. The supercapacitor is similar to a rechargeable battery, but rather than using chemical reactions to store and release charge it relies instead on the movement of electrons between electrodes. It is made up of two electrodes, one positively charged and the other negatively charged. By alternating from a postive to a negative voltage, the researchers were able to significantly improve the amount of CO2 it was able to capture. Recommended World record achieved for solar power … [Read more...] about Breakthrough battery device absorbs C02 while it charges
Forget the ‘Queenmobile’ – why doesn’t Her Majesty just use a wheelchair?
They’re calling it the Queenmobile – a staggeringly expensive piece of kit (think two brand new BMWs) – splashed all over the newspapers because it has been ferrying the mobility-impaired monarch around the Chelsea Flower Show . The driving duties are performed by a chauffeur in the obligatory peaked cap. Of course they are. Usually this sort of story has about as much interest to me as the identity of Khloe Kardashian’s latest squeeze. But on this occasion, the pictures got lodged in my brain and started nagging until they produced a question: would someone tell me what’s wrong with a wheelchair ? Or a mobility scooter ? Normally, those of us with disabilities are loathe to pass comment on the choices made by others when it comes to getting around. With good reason. We feel we get enough judgement from the able-bodied. To actually prove to the government that we’re disabled in the first place requires clearing more fences than the winner of the Cheltenham … [Read more...] about Forget the ‘Queenmobile’ – why doesn’t Her Majesty just use a wheelchair?
If the Catholic Church can’t stay out of politics, it should start paying taxes
This weekend, the Catholic Church made the news yet again over its views on abortion – this time concerning US House speaker Nancy Pelosi ’s ability to receive the sacrament of communion due to her pro-choice stance. While it’s no secret that the Catholic Church, and other churches, have been long-term vocal opponents of abortion , this move to block a sacrament from a politician is absolutely over the top. Religious organisations that involve themselves in politics in this way should lose their tax exempt status. Religious organisations are already not required to comply with rules that secular spaces must follow. For example, the Catholic Church has been blessed by the government with tax exemptions , as much as $3.5bn in government Covid-19 aid and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) bypassing . The requirements for these benefits are given to them under the condition of their religious organisation status. This status has responsibilities attached to … [Read more...] about If the Catholic Church can’t stay out of politics, it should start paying taxes
Henry Kissinger: Ukraine should give up territory to Russia to reach peace
Former secretary of state Henry Kissinger has said Ukraine should accept giving up part of its territory to reach a peace deal with Russia, and end the now three-month-long war immediately. Talking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday, 98-year-old Kissinger said that failing to restart negotiations with Russia and continuing to antagonize Moscow could have disastrous consequences for Europe's stability in the long term. "Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome," he said. "Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself." Kissinger, who served under the administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970s, warned against dragging on the war, and pressed for negotiations. The former secretary of state said Russia has … [Read more...] about Henry Kissinger: Ukraine should give up territory to Russia to reach peace
Tucker Carlson mocked for telling Democrats to “de-escalate the rhetoric”
Fox News' host Tucker Carlson has faced ridicule online after he called for the Democrats to dial down their rhetoric. During his show on Monday night, Carlson played a clip of former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, who spoke on CNN on Saturday. Cameron said that Carlson had been "screaming fire in a crowded movie house". "The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theatre, the cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse," Cameron said. "That kind of stunt absolutely has to stop. Whether it is the anti-trust bill to take down and de-platform people who lie and put out falsehoods that cause damage and violent hate, there ought to be something done about it. "The administration is beginning to make a move on that, it has been way overdue," he said. A video clip of Carlson's reply to Cameron's statement has begun to go viral on Twitter and has been viewed over 580,000 times. … [Read more...] about Tucker Carlson mocked for telling Democrats to “de-escalate the rhetoric”
Ukraine May Use Lincoln Project’s Anti-Trump Tactics Against Putin
While tank movements, drone strikes, and conventional warfare have been key aspects of Ukraine's war against a Russian invasion, the online battle against disinformation and propaganda has been a hallmark of what many consider the first war of the digital age. Mike Madrid and Ron Steslow, known stateside as co-founders of the influential Lincoln Project, which they exited before it was hit by allegations and infighting, are among those who see the Ukraine-Russia war as part of a broader struggle between democracy and authoritarian forces. That's why the two men planned an under-the-radar 10-day trip to Ukraine in the beginning of May, aided by a Russian information specialist, to meet with three officials in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky 's administration to discuss the work they've done and how they can be of help. "We believe there needs to be a global coalition of activists engaged in the fight for democracy," Madrid, now back in California, told Newsweek. He … [Read more...] about Ukraine May Use Lincoln Project’s Anti-Trump Tactics Against Putin
