Ok this isn't as scientific as an Ipsos/Mori poll, but traditional polls aren't exactly doing very well, so why not listen to a goat? I was, and still am sceptical about this animal's psychic ability, but it chose Clinton to win, and that's enough for me. It turns out that Boots the goat is a professional psychic that predicts political outcomes. The 3-year-old goat from Jedburgh, Scotland, beat many pundits by correctly asserting that the United Kingdom would vote to...
The savage cuts that have blighted the UK’s poor and lower middle class have “systematically violated the rights of disabled people,” concludes a UN study. The highly critical report, published in Geneva on Monday afternoon makes 11 recommendations to improve the circumstances of people with disabilities across the UK. The Conservative Government immediately rejected the claims. However, the level of cuts prompted many Tories to raise serious concerns about the impact it would have on the less well off in society....
By Tim Baros I’ve been watching the circus from afar and I’m kind of sorry to see it end. What circus you might ask? The circus that is the race for the presidency of the United States! I’m American and have lived in London for 13 years, and I’m getting asked quite a lot about what my thoughts are about the election. And I’m honest when I tell people that’s it’s extremely embarrassing and shocking how this election has played out....

Until recently, I was under the impression that the link between ‘gluten-free’ and flavour was strictly forbidden. Over the Summer I took part in a six-week low FODMAP research diet, completely eliminating gluten (amongst other things) from my day-to-day life.
