It is now 18 months since the European boss of Fujitsu, which supplied the crap Horizon system and whose officials lied to sub-postmasters and to courts about it, accepted moral responsibility and said the company would cough up. Yet it still hasn’t handed over a bean.

I read it for the articles.

Later generations were taught that streetcar service declined because passengers preferred to drive. Transportation experts have patiently explained this cause to me.

But primary sources reveal that a small minority of motorists degraded the transit modes that the vast majority relied upon.

Unfortunately there are a lot of female Drs with the same training and attitude. I've had at least one!

Riushed a friend into hospital who was screaming in agony. I've never seen anything like it. They told her it was atypical period pain and sent her home. Turned out to be ovarian torsion caused by a 10cm cyst. She had emergency surgery but they don't know if the tube will ever recover

Damn, I believed the ball myth

The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads

Damn. This is like the late season of a show where the heros have to team up with their arch nemesis to defeat a worse dude

Wait for real?

I will iron your sheets when you iron out the inequities in your labor laws.

The National Survey of Family Growth data shows that in 2002 the most sexually active top 20% of American heterosexual men had 12 lifetime sex partners while the top 5% had 38 partners.3 Ten years later, in 2012, the most sexually active top 20% now reported 15 lifetime sex partners and the top 5% of men reported 50 lifetime sex partners. There was no change in the median number of sex partners.

Using the Gini index, it is found that the distribution of the number of sex partners both for men and women throughout their lifespan is as unequal as the distribution of wealth among the most unequal countries in the world (South Africa Gini 0.63 in 2014 and Namibia Gini 0.59 in 2015).

Just as in the US, conservative media is whipping up a ‘crisis of men’ as an excuse to blame the left for the entirely foreseeable consequences of right-wing policy. You think Tories are gonna do shit about underfunded education and falling wages?
