The mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station if you drive out of range – Ani DiFranco

Nas Amir Ahmadi MD of Detox in a Box is a Barefaced Liar.

Nas Amir AhmadiListening to a Radio 4 interview with Nas Amir Ahmadi MD of Detox in a Box (pictured right) and Dr Ben Goldacre of Bad Science on the benefits or not of detox, Dr Goldacre asked Ahmadi about the claims on her company’s website.

One of the most complex detoxification functions is against heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadminum, nickel, arsenic, and aluminum.

Ahmadi claimed Dr Goldacre was mistaken and no such claims where made on her website, and indeed if you got to the page in question now the page has been changed to.

What a lying two-faced git, Nas Amir Ahmadi is, anything to sell her quack Detox in a box, avoid at all costs. Oh and the spelling mistakes are all her websites.

British Billionaires Pay No Tax

Listening to BBC Radio 4, don’t I always, there was a startling fact, that Britain’s 54 billionaires paid just £17 million in tax on their £126 billion of assets. Which OK isn’t exactly no tax but is barley 0.01% of their combined wealth. I’d feel pretty rich myself if I could pay tax at that rate, although the country would have gone to rack and ruin. I have to admit that I was unable to confirm these figures but an a Sunday Times article in December 2006 reported this regarding Britain’s 54 billionaires

According to accountancy firm Grant Thornton, the UK billionaires paid income tax totalling just £14.7m on their £126 billion combined fortunes, and only a handful paid any capital gains tax.

So isn’t it about time the rich paid their way?
