Malema mobilising:
Old Julia is at it again. On IOL this morning: “Why should athletics in South Africa suffer because they (Nedbank) hate an individual? They mustn’t use Chuene as an excuse.We must expose their real agenda: and that is that Nedbank is disappointed because medals were won by three Africans.”
Who’d have thought he has space for yet another foot in his mouth?
I missed this one before - he puts his foot in it by saying Caster is ugly:
Milking it:
Only after a public outcry, Nestle decided they will not be doing business with Mugabe anymore. See the IOL article here, and from this BBC article (via email, fanks mom) it seems they will be sidestepping the issue by buying from the Zim government. Of course the Zim government will NEVER buy from Mugabe…..
Just another case of a big corporation doing as they please until they get caught out.
About the birds & bees:
via OCA:
“Imidacloprid, marketed as Merit by the original manufacturer Bayer, is well documented for its toxicity to bees, as well as birds, worms and aquatic life. Many beekeepers, environmentalists and scientists — though not all — feel that imidacloprid is the root cause of colony collapse disorder (CCD) of bees.
France has long-since banned most applications of imidacloprid ever since the synthetic nicotine compound was blamed for wiping out its bee-keeping industry during the 1990s. The Bayer Corporation reportedly paid French beekeepers $70 million to rebuild the beekeeping industry, but as recently as Sept. 15 a representative of Bayer claimed to the Boston Globe that imidacloprid has “no connection whatsoever” to colony collapse disorder. Widespread evidence and common sense suggest otherwise.”
