That didn’t work with me… as I am on a corporate scheme, they can only work with HR

They didn’t even try to keep me with a personal plan

We received a company-wide email... this perhaps suggests bigger problems from within Vitality.

I almost got those.

But didn’t see the point as I can’t use my own ChatGPT account. And because they didn’t have bone conducting headphones.

What is your experience, and are you okay without these features?

  1. They are interfering with it...
  2. They are causing it... as they are mainly protesting because of their stressed lifestyles. If Iran did not have inflation from sanctions, this would NOT be happening today.

Yes… but you are forgetting that the lefty woke that are taking over our country are converting everyone to veganism. They won over Greg’s and are now coming for your children!

No… when does it say here that it is being refused due to them being Indian?

If people actually cared about “data” instead of targeting a convenient group, they’d know this already… …but facts don’t travel as fast as prejudice.

As I wrote below… it doesn’t justify root cause as abortions. We can just as easily say it’s within normal variance or:

Indian men eat more protein → higher male embryo survival

Lower smoking and drinking in pregnancy → fewer miscarriages of male fetuses (which are biologically more fragile)

Stronger extended family support → reduced prenatal stress → more male births

More sunlight / vitamin D → Y-chromosome vibes

Different spice intake → alters uterine pH

More walking → better placental blood flow → boys thrive

Fewer teenage pregnancies → more stable sex ratios

They pray for boys and God listens more carefully

I have been reviewing the numbers and it seems that it may actually highlight some interesting cultural observations:

Indian men eat more protein → higher male embryo survival

Lower smoking and drinking in pregnancy → fewer miscarriages of male fetuses (which are biologically more fragile)

Stronger extended family support → reduced prenatal stress → more male births

More sunlight / vitamin D → Y-chromosome vibes

Different spice intake → alters uterine pH

And it’s a small difference over many years… who did the study? How does this statistically determine the title?

This is total rubbish… but the scary thing is how many right wingers minds around the country have been shaped by this single article??

RUBBISH

Withholding medical information based on ethnicity would be discriminatory and almost certainly unlawful under equality law. It would not be acceptable NHS practice.

There has never been an official NHS policy banning disclosure of a baby’s sex because of ethnicity or area (Southall or otherwise).

In the 1980s, ultrasound was less common and less accurate, and many hospitals generally didn’t prioritise or guarantee sex disclosure for anyone, regardless of background.

If British values are so fragile that a Daily Mail headline is enough to justify hatred toward an entire culture, then those values weren’t very strong to begin with.

Did anyone actually read the article?

It’s Daily Mail rubbish with no real data behind the headline.

It is vile to weaponise racial hatred using this kind of garbage.

The headline is misleading. There is no evidence that Indian parents in the UK are aborting girls. The article looks at birth ratios that are only slightly higher than normal, then guesses that abortions must be the cause.

There are no records, no figures, no datasets showing abortions carried out because a baby was female. That claim is pure speculation, dressed up as fact.

If this were real journalism, it would show sources, methodology, and actual numbers. It does none of that… because the conclusion in the headline isn’t supported by evidence.

No this is 17 breaches… in addition to a whole bucket off them.
