Nasty experiences change your DNA.
I commented on another post on this Loop that whole families are often screwed up and that it was hard to tell what`s genetic and therefore passed down, what`s learned and what`s the direct harm caused by crushing poverty and/or nasty experiences such as war or abuse.
I had heard that it`s not just intelligence levels and physical and personality traits that can be inherited but that trauma can somehow be passed on via genes. It`s relevant to arguements and discussions we have on SL IMHO!
So I looked for and found an article about it. It`s called epigenetics ......

Musk has repeatedly described the UK as a police state while using his own platform to amplify misinformation and incendiary rhetoric. That is not a defence of free speech. It is reckless posturing from someone who appears to confuse accountability with oppression.
Now moving on to that other bastion of integrity Nigel Farage. He endlessly recycles the claim that Britain is silencing dissent while enjoying wall to wall media access, protests, political platforms and paid speaking tours. A man who can say almost anything on national television is not being silenced. He is being challenged and he does not like it.
The UK is currently having serious and necessary debates about protest policing public order and the balance between rights and safety. That is what democracies do. They argue in public. They scrutinise power. They adjust the law. None of that equates to the absence of freedom. -

Nigel Farage’s two-day trip to Davos cost more than £50,000, documents reveal
Reform UK leader received two guest passes from Iranian-born billionaire and declares attendance at event on register of MPs’ interests
Nigel Farage’s two-day trip to Davos cost more than £50,000 after he was given two guest passes by an Iranian-born billionaire, documents show.
The Reform UK leader officially declared his attendance at the conference on the register of MPs’ interests, after giving speeches at the Switzerland summit in which he pledged to “put the global elites on notice”.
Despite previously having dismissed the World Economic Forum as a jaunt for “globalists”, Farage also accepted £1,100 of luxury hotel accommodation from the conference organisers.
The Guardian revealed last month that Farage had his trip to Davos paid for by Sasan Ghandehari, which the Reform UK leader refused to confirm at the time. He was registered at the forum under the banner of HP Trust, which is the family office of Ghandehari and describes itself as having a portfolio value in excess of $10bn (£7.4bn).
HP Trust said Farage was an honorary and unpaid adviser since about 2018, but the Reform UK leader disputes that he has ever worked for them and declared no role for the firm on the register.
Since Farage’s funding from Ghandehari emerged, questions have been mounting for Reform about a £200,000 donation from a design firm, Interior Architecture Landscape, which counts the Ghandeharis as a major client.
The firm is officially owned by a John Richard Simpson, a conveyancer from Potters Bar, and the company insists that the Ghandeharis had no influence on the donation being made.
In response to questions about the £200,000 donation, an Interior Architecture Landscape spokesperson said: “We confirm that the company has, in aggregate, approximately £15m in active contracts, including maintenance, refurbishment, and fit-out works, in relation to several properties across the United Kingdom.
“We further confirm that members of the Ghandehari family are clients of the company. We can also confirm that all members of the company’s management, its decision-makers and its clients are British citizens, and that the company conducts legitimate business activities within the United Kingdom. Accordingly, any political donations made by the company are fully compliant with applicable electoral law.
“Separately, the company’s management made a commercial and values-based decision to donate to Reform UK, reflecting the company’s view that Reform UK is seeking to improve the sectors in which the company operates.”
Little is known about Ghandehari, but his family is believed to derive its wealth from his late mother, Hourieh Peramaa, who has previously been described as a Kazakh-born Iranian investor who was a refugee before making billions through property.
She first appeared in the UK about 2008 when she bought one of the most expensive properties in London for £50m. The Ghandeharis are now known as art collectors, and he is the representative of a firm suing Christie’s auction house over the provenance of a Picasso painting previously owned by someone convicted of a drugs offence.
During his trip to Davos, Farage appeared at several events and said he would tax banks. He was also interviewed by Rebel News, a Canadian media outlet that platforms far-right contributors, whose reporter questioned Farage on whether he regretted comments about the far-right agitator Tommy Robinson, who has threatened to sue him for wrongly saying his criminal conviction was in relation to violence against a woman.
Farage said he was “sorry if he got it slightly wrong” about Robinson’s conviction and added: “I don’t wish to have a fight with him. He does what he does, I do what I do. There we go.”

Not a lot of people know this about Nigel Farage, and he doesn’t like to shout about it, but many years ago he spotted a young boy crying on Clacton Seafront. He asked him why he was so upset, and it was because his mum had given him a pound to go and buy a 99 but just as he approached the ice cream kiosk, a seagull had swooped down and stolen it from him before flying off towards the amusements.
Without a single moment’s hesitation, Nigel gave the boy another pound to get a 99, and then he bought ice creams for every single child on the seafront that day. Inspired by his kindness, the child hugged him and promised that he would never forget his act of generosity.
That little boy grew up to be Whitney Houston. -

💷 £200,000 seized from criminals available to community groups to support local policing priorities
Matthew Barber, Police & Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, and Jason Hogg, Chief Constable for Thames Valley Police, have opened the first round of this year’s Community Fund.
The Community Fund ( https://www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk/get-involved/community-fund/ )
helps to prevent crime and keep communities safe. Money for the scheme is created from the proceeds from the sale of items seized from criminals that cannot be returned to their rightful owners.
Community organisations across Thames Valley can apply for a grant of up to £10,000 for projects that support one of the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan key priorities:
Protecting Communities (including anti-social behaviour and road safety)
Protecting People (including domestic abuse and the night-time economy)
Protecting Property (including cybercrime and fraud and retail crime)
Organisations are eligible to apply if they have not received funding through the Community Fund within the last 12 months. Further information on eligibility to apply can be found within the guidance document.
https://www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk/get-involved/community-fund/
In the previous round, organisations received funding for a variety of projects including:
Programmes for young people working to build self-esteem and independence, providing early intervention support to prevent anti-social behaviour and offending
Projects for young men that break the cycles of isolation and offending
Vehicle activated speed road signs with the aim of improving road safety
Anti-spike drinks covers to improve safety in the night time economy
Purchase of CCTV in order to reduce anti-social behaviour and crime
The closing date for this round of applications is 12pm (noon) on Monday 23rd February 2026 and applications will be considered jointly by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Chief Constable.
Successful applicants will be invited to attend a presentation event, hosted by the Police & Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable, in May (date/location TBC).
Further information, including a link to the application form and guidance document, can be found on the Community Fund webpage.

The Grift that keeps on giving
Copied from facebook so not personal to anyone on scooploop
The grift that just keeps on grifting!
Convicted fraudster Yaxley-Lennon before the Unite the Kingdom rally promoted a linked crypto coin called UKT.
If anyone was stupid enough and yes there were some stupid enough, to invest £1,000 in his grift your £1,000 would now be worth a whole £2.50!
Don’t let that put you off though as he has another grift just for you his gullible supporters to help him carry on living in his luxury lifestyle.
It’s what’s known as a pyramid trading scheme for his supporters that’s he’s been pushing on his Twitter account, he says it guarantees a profit because he knows as he’s invested too! If you believe that you will also believe Trump isn’t a paedophile!
What it basically is spread betting and CDF’s and official data shows that people who fall for this lose between 70-75% of any money put into it.
Guess who will make money out of it though?
Yaxley-Lennon for every one of you schmucks who signs up he gets a healthy percentage.
So tell me again how this ex con, convicted fraudster is looking out for you?
I’m really interested to know.
I’ll wait.
In the meantime for someone who has no visible means of income, lives in a lavish luxury house in Spain, drives luxury cars, has multiple holidays every year and allegedly has a seriously expensive habit. All the while you fools struggle to make rent each month! -
