“Equal partners” Theresa May, Tories
A ‘more equal union than anywhere in the world” BetterTogether
A “Union of equals and partnership” Johan Lamont, Labour.
If England decided it wanted to vote on becoming independent, do you think it would have to ask Scotland’s permission first?

So, when US citizens start arriving on our shores trying to claim asylum, how will our politicians react, do you think?
Will the reaction depend on the skin tone of the asylum seekers, or their sexual orientation or gender expression?
Hmm...

So many good people from down south and they just do not see how poor their political system is or that the UK is a forced union. Actually they don’t care. Easier that way.
Any country can vote to leave the EU but only English politicians get to decide who can vote to leave their union.

It's with great sadness that we report the death of legendary British arachnologist, colleague and friend, Peter Merrett. A former BAS president, Peter edited the Bulletin (now Arachnology) for a remarkable 37 years. He published widely and was the ultimate judge of all our ID difficulties.

If, like me, you are hunkered down as #StormEowyn rages, then here is a hopeful pic of Purple Saxifrage, one of our earliest flowering mountain plants, to help get you through! Stay safe out there.

The only reference to patients dying in corridors was in the English NHS sample. The only reference to a miscarriage in a side room was in Yorkshire. /->
