If the ISPs choose not to do so, they could face legal liability.

8 Invented Diseases Big Pharma Is Banking on
Since direct-to-consumer drug advertising debuted in 1997, pharma's credo has been When The Medication Is Ready, The Disease (and Patients) Will Appear. Who knew so many people suffered from restless legs?

But pharma's recent plan to move from mass-market molecules into more lucrative vaccines and biologics did not see the anti-vaxer movement coming: millions of Americans saying You Want to Vaccinate Me -- and My Child -- with WHAT?? and condemning vials of H1N1, rotavirus and MMR vaccines to sit, well, way past their expiration dates. Nor were fears of an international vaccine conspiracy helped by former CDC Director Julie Gerberding resurfacing as President of Merck Vaccines in December. (Nice revolving door if you can catch it.)

Now pharma is back to creating new diseases, patients, risks and "awareness campaigns" faster than you can say thimerosal (the vaccine preservative that started the backlash.)

Greece Welcomes Its New IMF Overlords With Day Of Rioting And National Strikes
“Papandreou is caught between a rock and a hard place,” said Jacques Cailloux, chief European Economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. “The market has zero confidence in what the Greeks are saying, and any further austerity measures pushed for by the IMF could be the ones that break the camel’s back if they are deemed unfair by the population. He doesn’t have any option though.”

Real U.K. Unemployment is 5.5 million, the Jobless Economic Recovery?

'Debt explosion' fears: IMF puts pressure on G20

We cannot ignore Labour's debt crisis
"The interest payments alone on Britain's debt will soon be more than £60 billion a year. That's nearly twice the entire annual Scottish budget - double what we spend on schools, hospitals, the police, local government and more, every year in Scotland.

The Global-Warming Tax
Damn the data; full speed ahead!

Climategate, Copenhagen, Snowmageddon in the nation’s capital, the EPA ruling that CO2 endangers us all, and Senate Republicans pushing for a global-warming tax. Has it been a great run-up to Earth Day, or what?

Never has a public-policy agenda been pursued with so little regard for scientific fact or public opinion. In March, 48 percent of Americans agreed that global warming, while real, is exaggerated. When Gallup first asked this question in 1997, only 31 percent thought the threat exaggerated.

Deeper Double Dip Recession as Keynesian Fails
The case for a secondary recession rests on several factors: a double-dip decline in the residential real estate market, the accelerating decline in the commercial real estate market, the unresolved losses in bank balance sheets, the narrow focus of the profitability (earnings), which has been limited to bailed-out banks, and the threat of rising long-term interest rates, i.e., a decline in the bond market

Numerous institutions, traditions and prejudices function as modes of oppression and prevent us from collectively addressing the tragedy of the commons.

Taken as a whole, they manufacture a society in which worldviews are intentionally constrained, warped, and self-defeating

In Brussels, they're crossing their fingers for Nick Clegg

In Brussels, they're crossing their fingers for Nick Clegg

As Dan Hannan points out, a vote for the LibDems is a vote for the EU. They are eurofanatics and proved as much with their support for the hated Lisbon Treaty, which dissolved our sovereignty - and their enthusiasm for the European Arrest Warrant, which has just claimed another innocent victim.

The LibDems are not a cuddly, anti-politics party - they are part of the very establishment we all hate.

A vote for the LibDems would herald another term for Labour, and further erosion of our civil liberties.

Don't even be tempted. And don't waste your vote; if you want to cast an anti-politics vote, vote for UKIP or one of the other small parties or independents.

Airspace lockdown could stall UK food supplies
There is growing concern that the ongoing airspace lockdown, after the volcanic eruption in Iceland created a volcanic ash cloud, could impact upon food supplies to the UK. The food chain is a very complicated issue even though consumers only see the end result and an increase in travel time, cost and lack of availability could filter through to create upwards pricing pressure on UK food imports. This would then have the potential to impact upon the rate of inflation and could, if the situation lasts much longer, become a major problem

Public sector job cuts of 500,000 probable, CIPD analysis warns

Global water crisis 'will see food prices rocket'

Food crisis on the horizon
There was a shortage of food during the 1960s prompting the then Prime Minster, Lal Bahadur Shastri, to the appeal to people to forego food once a week. They did obey his genuine appeal. There was no significant number of hungry people then as we have now, with 250 million Indians going to bed without food. The level of poverty and hunger has multiplied several-fold in the last five decades, so much so that India ranks 66th among 88 countries in the hunger index. A loud warning bell has been sounded by Ban-Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the global food crisis. The failure of the World Food Summit held in Rome in November 2009 was unfortunate. It showed the least concern of many governments to the serious problem of food crisis and hunger around the world.

What's going on-from ukws

Many thanks to those that took the time to email with links and encouragement and offers of help. Incase your getting confused what we want to do is create a UK based and focused Independent news outlet/aggregatorweb site.

The change in the blog format was simply to demonstrate the kind of format we want for a website and just to gage the reaction and to see if we can get some help in setting it up.

Blogger could never host a decent site as it doesn't have the graphic tools to make it look good and as a result will always look amateurish. We cant even seperate the sections using enclosed boxes and so everything looks mixed up and without definition.

We've had some financial offers of assistance but I don't have a bank account so we need someone we trust with a paypal account to set up a donate button and collect donations and pay for the hosting. It's only about £4 a month but without that we can't do anything. so please get in touch if you can help with this.

I want to stress that this project is completely voluntary and not for profit and any money left over will go towards advertising. Not one single penny will go into anyones pockets.

Unfortunately we have a problem. One of the initial contributors set up a uknewsnetwork.com and .co.uk site but then froze the rest of us out of it and won't reply to emails and is posting 'news' so we have lost the name and will have to think of a new one. Any ideas?

I can tell you that put us back a bit and caused a great deal of confusion for a week as nobody could work out what was going on. I want to make it plain that http://uknewsnetwork.com/ has nothing to do with what we are doing here and you can use your own imagination as to why somebody would want to do that. We wish him the best of luck.

Hopefully the next thing you will see on the site is a donate button so please consider trying to help us a little with costs. 10p per vistor for a few hours would probably do it.

News posting will continue as normal and we apologise for the amateurish look and feel of the blog.

How not to defend science

Bishop Hill is doing a great job of following the various inquiries into the climate emails.

The unthoroughness, biased membership and gullibility of the Oxburgh and Russell inquiries has the effect on a lukewarmer like me of driving me further into the sceptical camp. If the case for man made global warming needs this much flagrant whitewashing, then maybe, I begin to think, the exaggerations and mistakes are not just the result of sloppiness, but are part of a deliberate attempt to camouflage the truth to keep the gravy train on the track. If the science was any good then it could stand proper scrutiny
