A clean-out of a lecture hall at the University of St Andrews in Scotland led to a discovery of what may be the oldest surviving wall chart of periodic table, which appears to date back to 1885.

Two rather sad articles in today's Guardian by Corbynite outrider Owen Jones (Owen, the very last thing that Norway wants is for the UK to join EFTA - ditto Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland!) and by Cambridge academic Chris Bickerton whose arguments for resisting a second referendum can not only be described as
tendentious but dangerously specious. The majority of people who voted Leave in 2016 were seriously misled. In short the referendum must be judged as both flawed in design and fraudulent in execution because of the involvement of hostile, non-UK actors. Shame on the Guardian for not allowing readers' comments on these two articles.

Poorer pensioner couples will lose more than £7,000 a year, under a cut “sneaked out” while MPs are preparing for the showdown Brexit vote.

Absolutely not. Indeed precisely the opposite! The point is that most sex workers believe in self-respect but May doesn't!

Not really. Most sex workers will turn down some punters for a variety of reasons (including keeping safe and for the sake of their children or other members of their family). The truth is that Theresa May is willing to go with any punters politicallly for a deal!
