Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

In a series of co-ordinated atacks on commuter trains, without any none warnings, terrorists have killed more than 85 people in Madrid.

It is believed at the current moment that the ETA were behind the attacks.

Will it be possible now for those political party who support the political wings of ETA, to dissassociate themselves from ETA terrorism?

In particular Sinn Fein. It was widely assumed that Sinn Fein would sit with the representatives of ETA within the European Parliament if they had any MEPs elected. Hopefully, they'll condemn the attacks and acknowledge that the murder of innocent commuters going to work achieves nothing, and cannot be considered part of any 'struggle'. ... read full story / add a comment
