I remember when even most scientists didn't think that homo sapiens had been around more than 50,000 years
Really? I've always thought 100,000 was a conservative figure.

16Human origins pushed back further into the past
by fulltimestudent inscience is a self-correcting journey.
any error in thought will be corrected by later research or discoveries, so the common concept that we humans (homo sapiens) developed something like 200,000 years ago is undergoing a major correction.
the discovery of fossilised bones of at least five individuals have been recovered from an old mine in morocco.

Exit polls suggest Conservatives might lose as many as 17 seats. They will still be the biggest party but without an overall majority.
SNP have not done well if the exit poll is correct. It shows them losing 22 seats!
Theresa May's gamble may have backfired badly.

Scotland had a referendum and made a decision to stay in the UK.
We were told it was a once in a generation decision.
The SNP are obsessed with independence. It is small-minded nationalism and anti-English bigotry. Now that the polls show a decline in interest in a second referendum in Scotland Sturgeon has spent the entire campaign trying to avoid the subject. If she gets a good result tonight she will be back on her favourite topic again.
Her understanding of what the word generation mean is as bad as the Watchtower.

McDonnell is a self-confessed Marxist.
Abbott stated that Mao did more good than harm (45 million civilian deaths in four years) and stated that a victory for the IRA would be a victory for everybody - a statement she still refuses to disavow.
Corbyn sees a moral equivalence between IRA murderers and the British peace-keeping soldiers in Northern Ireland.
The level of stupidity, twisted ideology &/or ignorance required to take these positions disqualifies them all from public office.

However attractive their vision for a fairer society I cannot trust Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott.
It is shocking that the Labour Party has put forward such a dreadful alternative to the Tories.

Very strange incident. It will be interesting to see what the motive was.
I just discovered there is a town in England that actually ends in and exclamation mark - Westward Ho!

Police are not ruling out the possibility that it was a religiously motivated hate crime.

They genuinely believe they are the seven most important men on earth since the days of the apostles.
Millions of people hang on their every word.
All their material needs are taken care of in abundance. They travel the globe in style to speak in front of adoring crowds.
Apart from that I have no idea what they get out of it.
