I've always found the local honey trick to work, but the honey has to actually be local as in made in the same town from the same types of crops that are causing you problems, not just organic / homemade.

The Conneticut study that debunked it, as far as I can tell was comparing 'locally' produced, unfiltered honey vs. nationally produced filtered honey vs. artificial corn syrup. But it doesn't seem to have tested the locally produced stuff on people from that area.

It seems to have missed the point, which is the idea that (for example) honey produced in north-east Oxford near rapeseed fields is going to be beneficial to people who live in north-east Oxford near rapeseed fields.

It's worked for me the last 10 years anyway. I've gone from a sputtering mess of phlegm every time I leave the house to zero episodes, except if i'm in a dusty area or the missus kicks up a load of clothing fibers.

My dad and I swear to god this is true went to see a witch doctor in Sri Lanka about his hay fever and he was told to wear a pure woollen jumper a size too small for him (he had a 70s sleeveless cricket jumper at home) and god drat it if it didn’t work.

Western medicine people say it would be because the wool catches a lot of pollen, and the jumper being too small slightly constricts breathing which would also help.

He does, but he should really know the matter is closed when the press decide it is, and considering most didn't even have a chance to print a story on it today, it is far from that.

I’m sure someone popped in a year or so back to say he was okay and just not posting. I think anyway. He definitely at one point moved out of my ‘people I’m worried about’ section and into my ‘people who are okay’ section.

That's the same tactic they're using for all this culture war poo poo so I guess it works.

Not in the slightest. He's trying to frame the issue in a way the general public - many of who are sick of social distancing, not being allowed to hug grandkids - etc will hear and agree that, yes they also hate social distancing, and really it shouldn't be a thing and and and...

George Galloway combining the CPGB and the ummah, we're back in the early 2000s.
Is a bit weird how the Islamist-inspired terrorist attack focused on gay people in Reading last year became a random terrorist stabbing, and the orientation of the victims was, if mentioned, consistently in the passive voice.

What pisses me off is that Labour are now calling for his resignation, after insisting that it's necessary for him to stay in office for continuity or whatever following his shameless corruption.

Like idgaf if he's having an affair, of all the poo poo rich people do that one's way down the list. Gross incompetence leading to the deaths of thousands, the actual crime of misfeasance in a public office, those are the things he should be forced out of office for. Not some loving schoolyard gossip poo poo.

It's also weird how it became an Islamic terrorist attack when the perpetrator had a crucifix tattoo and attended mass.

He did shout "God accept my jihad" in Arabic at the time and idolized the trappings of certain types of radical Islam though, so Abrahamic terrorist attack maybe?

Possibly. I'd say "extreme religious far right inspired" because for the fringe theocrat weirdos they all merge to a singularity of providing a framework to excuse antisemitism, homophobia, violence, and hatred.

That's why it looks unusual but is completely unsurprising when you find out that, say, a former hardline Calvinist Afrikaner nationalist tried to set up a branch of Islamic State in Mozambique, or that David Myatt exists. No matter which ideology they switch to, it's always the poo poo extreme fringe version.
