The thigh’s the limit. Femoral tubercle on 7 million year old Sahelanthropus tchadensis suggests these were our oldest bipedal ancestors. More fossils and less researchers needed. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...
Fresh bone analysis makes case for earliest ‘ancestor of humankind’, but doubts remain
Scientists argue ape-like Sahelanthropus tchadensis that lived in Africa 7m years ago is best contender but more fossils are needed

If only this was the British government’s watchword
Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

The hope brought by 2026 comes from Polanski here in the UK and Mamdani, AOC and the new left wave in the USA. Not Starmer.
The PM has promised that the change he vowed to make in his 2024 manifesto will finally arrive in 2026.

Farmers were always a fifth column, untitled landholders, greedy and self centred, entitled and endlessly complaining. They would ride the devil’s horse if they thought it would carry them faster and further.

Not satisfied with the Tories digging Britain’s reputational grave, Starmer and Mahmood now bang nails into the coffin of our moral status. They campaigned on a pledge of change but instead the just tighten the screws at every turn.
A vulnerable child was groomed and trafficked and then subjected to the most shocking experiences imaginable including the deaths of her babies.

Instead of taking responsibility the British establishment stripped her of her citizenship and dumped her like old rubbish.

Farage’s rate of appearance on the TV is a reliable measure of how gloomy Britain feels. More Farage, more gloom, less Farage more sunshine.
Nothing says “future” like posting a screenshot of an article in the Daily Mail.

Nigel’s going to be passing around the snowballs later to celebrate.

If you are a pub landlord and a nationally renowned racist trouble maker with criminal convictions for violence comes in you can ask him or her to leave. It’s your responsibility to ensure your pub is a safe place for customers and staff. No question, no debate.
Tommy Robinson got kicked out of a pub in Bedford and threw a massive tantrum.
Not everyone supports teeny tiny tommy 10 names. Great to see him being barred from this pub.Kudos to the landlord. But sad to say followers of rancid robinson have been posting horrendous reviews about the pub. Something should be done about this.
