EU Stay Or Go
Referendum June 23
RR By Jill Lawless
RR By Gregory Katz
David Cameron made the announcement May 19, even as he declared his
belief that the UK would be safer and
stronger if it remained in the 28-nation
bloc.
Cameron spoke in front of his 10
Downing Street office after holding a rare
Saturday Cabinet meeting and winning
its agreement to recommend that Britain
remain part of the EU rather than strike
out on its own.
Despite that support, some Cabinet
figures will back the leave campaign
that wants Britain to carve its own
path outside of the EU bureaucracy in
Brussels.
REFORMS
Cameron said if Britons decided to remain in the EU, he would seek continued
reforms to address their concerns about
job losses and benefit payments to EU
migrants seeking work in Britain.
I dont love Brussels, I love Britain, he said, emphasizing that Britain
can have the best of both worlds if it
remains in the EU under a reform deal
he reached last month with EU leaders.
The June vote will come as the EU
struggles to deal with a sustained immigration crisis that last year brought
more than a million people fleeing war
and poverty to its shores.
Cameron is poised to lead the campaign for Britain to remain in the bloc in

ROOTED
He says the brothers politics are
rooted in the post-war Brooklyn where
they grew up, the children of staunch
New Dealer parents. Their father, Eli,
was a Polish Jew who came to the United
States when he was 17, their mother
Dorothy the New York-born child of
eastern European Jewish immigrants.
We were not poor we had
everything we needed but our parents
argued, and what they argued about was
money, Sanders said in the kitchen of
his modest, century-old house not far
from Oxfords historic city center.
I think a lot of politicians, if theyve
come from financially secure backgrounds, it doesnt really resonate what
it means to have
these arguments
and to have this tension. And Bernard,
without wanting to
have it, has it, and it
hasnt gone away.
Bernie Sanders To Sanders, his
brother is always Bernard, never Bernie,
which just doesnt sound right.
Larry Sanders studied politics at
Brooklyn College, where he was involved with the Young Democrats, and
discussed political ideas with his younger
brother, a good-but-not-great student
and a top track athlete.
I dragged him to some meetings,
Sanders said. He found them incredibly
boring, but he came.
SURPRISED
Larry was surprised when Bernie
announced his first political campaign,
a run for high school student president.
He didnt do very well he finished
third out of three, Sanders said. But
he was the only one who had a serious
platform. The others talked more about
prom stuff, but he ... (said) the school
should raise money for scholarships for
Korean orphans.
Later, Larry watched as Bernie
charted his own political path first
as part of the civil rights movement in
Chicago, then in Vermont, where, as
an independent, he served as mayor of
Burlington, congressman and senator.
Larry moved to Britain with his late
first wife, becoming a university lecturer
in health and social care and serving for
a decade as an Oxfordshire county councilor. Last month, he was named national
health spokesman for the Green Party,
which has thousands of members but just
one lawmaker out of 650 in Parliament.
Sanders plans to return to the US for
the Democratic National Convention
in Philadelphia in July. He has allowed
himself to daydream about watching his
brother take the presidential inauguration oath and about visiting him in the
White House.
Its said to be a very good B&B, so
well take advantage of it, he said. I
wont insist on the Lincoln bedroom.

APPARENTLY, after looking at the image below and recognizing one thing or another, a
psychologist can tell you a lot about yourself.
Psychologists believe a persons answer
could tell us a lot about how their mind work.
Its not necessarily a case of which we
see initially, but how easily we are able to
switch between the two animals.
It is thought more creative people will be
able to see both more quickly than those who
notice one and then find it more difficult to
pinpoint the other animal.
The optical illusion, called Kaninchen und
Ente in German, is more than 100 years old
and first appeared in a German magazine
around 1892. It gained more popularity in
1899 when US pyschologist Joseph Jastrow
used it to illustrate his theory that people see
with their mind as well as their eye
It was shown in an experiment that participants who found it very easy to flip between
rabbit and duck came up with an average
of almost five novel uses for an everyday
item. Those who couldnt flip between rabbit
and duck at all came up with less than two
novel uses.
This suggests that the ease with which
you can flip representations is a clue to how
creative you are. The moment when you flip
between duck and rabbit is like a small flash
of creative insight. Its when you notice the
world can be seen in a different way.
Highly creative people often display this
talent for finding new uses for an existing
object or by making connections between
two previously unconnected ideas or things.
Interestingly, when testing children at different times of the year, the results change.
During Easter, they are more likely to see
a rabbit first. In October, seeing a duck first
is more common.
Some people may only see a rabbit, some
only a duck, and others both repeatedly can
see both back and forth.
How did you do?

Starman
David Bowies
life was a tale of
several cities really but he was a
Londoner, born in
the not-so-smart
south western
suburb of Brixton
in 1947. David
Robert Jones had
a difficult early life
in Brixton before
the family moved
eastwards to Bromley. It was at Bromley
Tech School in this leafy London borough
that he acquired his alien-like, permanently
dilated pupil in a playground fight something
which he always felt added to his mystique!
As well as a dodgy eye, he left this school at
16 with one O level in art.
London was very much the back canvas
to his early career. In Denmark Street, just
off Charing Cross Road and famous for its
guitar shops, you can still eat in what was La
Gioconda Caf, where in the sixties, Bowie
could be found sipping coffee with his pal,
Mark Field (later, Marc Bolan). Then, also
in the West End, Bowie moved into a flat
near Pollocks Toy Museum in Scala Street.
Well-known for the clowns, Victorian prints
and other circus memorabilia on display, this
influenced the art-loving, fertile mind of the
yet-to-be discovered star.
A glitzy, jump suit clad Bowie announced
to the world that Ziggy Stardust was born in
Heddon Street, off Regent Street in 1972 and
a wall plaque marks the very spot. Sadly it
was a short life and Bowie announced the
death of Ziggy on July 3rd the following year
to a shocked and distraught fan base at the
Hammersmith Apollo in West London!
Meanwhile the Blitz Club in Great Queen
Street, near Covent Garden was where,
in 1980, Bowie recruited the hippest new
romantics he could find for the video he was
making to accompany Ashes to Ashes.
The Starman who astonished the world is
missed in his home city but not quite gone.
in 2018/2019.
However, Londoners have paid a heavy
price. There have been enormous ground
level construction sites with accompanying
trucks and vehicles clogging the streets for
years. Historic buildings have been demolished and the anticipation of better train
routes has pushed up house prices in some
areas that were, previously, more affordable
to ordinary working people.
There is a huge potential upside of course
but even before the first project is up and
running, Transport for London is considering Crossrail 2 with a north to south axis.
Again there are high hopes for the practical
benefits this will deliver but the battle lines
are drawn with people up in arms about the
disruption and destruction (part of the plan
is to demolish Wimbledon town centre!). The
consultation process is underway and even if
it gets the go ahead, Crossrail 2 will not open

In 1874, serving Metropolitan Police Officers set up The Black Museum at Scotland
Yard with items seized from criminals and
crime scenes with the intention of assisting
officers investigating future crimes. This
macabre collection of thousands of items
has remained locked away, hidden from
public view and only seen by invited guests
and officers. Until now.
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, saw no
reason to keep these things hidden and working with his own office for Policing and Crime
in the capital, has, after a five year struggle,

gene editing.
Gene editing involves deleting, repairing or replacing bits of DNA inside
living cells in a biological cut-and-paste
technique that scientists say could one
day lead to treatments for conditions like
HIV or inherited disorders such as muscular dystrophy and sickle cell disease.
A team led by Kathy Niakan, an embryo and stem cell specialist at Londons
new Francis Crick Institute, received the
OK to use gene editing to analyze the
first week of an embryos growth.
ENHANCE
The research will enhance our understanding of IVF (in vitro fertilization)
success rates by looking at the very
earliest stage of human development,
said Paul Nurse, director of the institute.
None of the embryos will be transferred into women. They will be allowed to develop from a single cell to

If we vote to leave the EU and subsequently say goodbye to Scotland too, it would
surely be an unmitigated disaster.
Cameron looks close to a deal with the EC
that he can present to the nation in June this
year. He has criss-crossed his way round
Europe for the last three months or more.
All the time he is huffing and puffing about
how hard he has fought to ensure we get a
deal he can recommend to the nation. It is all
smoke and mirrors. No-one in Europe wants
us to leave, our government doesnt want us
to leave so whatever Cameron achieves must
look like a tremendous victory grudgingly
conceded to us by Europe.
In truth its a referendum that should never
have been offered. To be perfectly honest, I
havent the slightest clue whether Britain will
profit or not from leaving the EU. But our last
40-odd years have been bound up in Europe
and you cannot predict what will happen if
we turn away from the continent. Will they
be pleased to ensure that life outside the EU
will be as comfortable for us as life inside?
I think not.
COMPLEX
The whole issue is far too complex for
anyone to understand what will happen. I
mean what happens, for instance, to the
half-million pensioners who have left the
UKs shore to settle down in the EU? Can they
have an assured future? And what about the
900,000 Brits living and working the the EU?
Such questions need to be answered. But
more than that, will someone also please tell
us what sort of Britain will it be if we come
out. I fear no-one can answer that question
and it is why I am adamant we should vote
to stay in.

CARLAS IN hospital this month after a breakin at the Bistro. When the electricity goes off
at the Bistro and all the staff are sent home,
Robert stays on to work. Carla finds out hes
there on his own so she pops in to have a
word about keeping their under-duvet activities quiet. Unbeknown to them both, Tracy is
hiding in the kitchen hoping to surprise Robert
with a bit of hows-your-father in the dark.
As Carla and Robert chat at the bar, Tracy
overhears everything about Robert sleeping
with Carla. Robert leaves and Carla stays,
getting smashed on a bottle of red wine. As
Carlas drinking, Jamie and a pal come into
the Bistro hoping to get revenge on Steph for
turning them into the police over the revenge
porn pictures that Jamie took of Steph. Its
been a complicated plot, but bear with me!
Stephs not there, theres only Carla inside.
Jamie decides to nick Carlas handbag and
in the melee they drive off. Now then, Carlas
not a woman to be parted from her handbag
and she hangs on for dear life as her bag is
driven off the cobbles in a car at top speed.
Out on the street, Kev and Phelan see
whats going on. Phelan jumps in front of the
car to stop it, just as Kev pulls him out of the
way of the speeding car. The thugs speed off
and Carlas taken to hospital where shes got
broken bones and internal bleeding.
Gails granny flat proves to be too cold
and she calls in builder Jason to give her
a quote for underfloor heating. When David
and Kylie find out whats going on, they put
a stop to Jason lifting the carpet in fear of
secrets and a dead body buried underneath
- being revealed.
This month we see the return of Pat Phelan
whos one of the builders working on Kevs
new garage. Hes as sleazy as ever, divorced
from his wife now and bankrupt too. He gives
Anna the glad-eye and she does her best to
avoid him. Phelan tells Kev that he and Anna
have history but he doesnt give him all the
history, just selected highlights. She leaves
out the bit about how she slept with Phelan
to pay off Owens debts.
Sally decides to stand as an independent
councillor for Weatherfield Council, much
like Deirdre once did in the past. Audrey
reminds Sally that she was a Weatherfield
Councillor once and that her Alfeh was the
murr. You were only in it for the perks,
Sally remembers, quite rightly too.
Rita gets on the internet this month when
Sophie shows her how to use her new
tablet. She even joins Facebook. Whats an
app? she asks in the Rovers. Youll need
to know your apps from your elbow, quips
Tim. And whats a widget? she asks. You
can get cream from the doctor for those,
he replies. Rita signs up to Facebook and is
over the moon when one of her old school
friends gets in touch. Then she gets another
message from the past which doesnt cheer
her at all. Its from Jenny Bradley and Rita
agrees to meet her, against the advice of
Norris. Rita ends up taking Jenny in, to live
with her in the flat.
Mary mopes about the house in tears
after she finds out that lover Brendan is really
married. In the pub later, Mary opines about
her mother, who by all accounts is a bit of a
prude. There was a time when she wouldnt
even be seen eating a banana in public.

tity. The withholding tax in cases where the
ARCHEOLOGISTS working at
Must Farm in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, recently discovered a
3,000-year-old wheel that has been
completely preserved. It is the first
and largest example of its kind to be
discovered on the isle. The wheels
completeness and relative size
will likley shift views about how
people may have travelled during the
Bronze Age, especially since it was
found at a site located near a river.
This remarkable but fragile
wooden wheel is the earliest complete example ever found in Britain,
said Duncan Wilson, chief executive
of Historic England, announcing the
discovery. The existence of this
wheel expands our understanding of
Late Bronze Age technology and the
level of sophistication of the lives of
people living on the edge of the Fens
3,000 years ago.
Must Farm has been dubbed
Britains Pompeii because, like
Pompeii in Italy, it is remarkably
well-preserved from a fire that occurred at the site approximately
3,000 years ago. The site contains
some of the best-preserved historical
evidence about Bronze-Age Britain.
It was first discovered in 2006 and is
now the subject of a 1.1m excavation project, which has unearthed
wooden houses, bowls, and tools.

THE LAST Land Rover Defender, the famed 4x4 off-road vehicle that has been made for almost seven
decades, has rolled off the production line in Britain.
More than two million of the boxy vehicles have been produced at the plant over the past 68 years,
and fans range from farmers to the Queen, who has been photographed driving them over the decades.
Dozens of workers at the Jaguar Land Rover plant near Birmingham in central England cheered January
29 as the last one was presented with its lights flashing and horn blaring.
Jaguar Land Rover did not say why the model is being discontinued. Jim Holder, editorial director of
motoring magazines including Autocar, said it could be because the model can no longer keep up with
emission and safety regulations.

UK Reverses Decision
To Stop Printing Laws
On Animal Skin
BRITAINS vellum is not vanishing
after all.
The government has reversed a decision to end the centuries-old practice of
printing official copies of laws on parchment made from goat or calf skin.
Some lawmakers expressed dismay
when it was announced last month that
future laws would be printed on archive
paper instead, a move expected to save
80,000 a year.
Paymaster General Matt Hancock
told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that
Britain should keep vellum to safeguard
some of our great traditions.
The oldest vellum law in parliaments
archives dates from 1497, and even older
vellum copies survive of documents
including the 1215 Magna Carta.
Paul Wright, general manager of
vellum producer William Cowley, said
last month that retaining vellum would
ensure future generations had the
opportunity to touch history.

doesnt include provision for separate
conduct matters by the US Department of Justice and various US State
Attorneys General, though the bank
acknowledged such costs could

COMPENSATION
More money was also set aside for

sold payment protection insurance.
The bank also wrote down nearly half
a billion pounds in respect to private
banking.
The bank was bailed out at the
height of the 2008 financial crisis and

including an ill-fated global expansion
drive that briefly made it the worlds

OBITUARIES
Academy Award-nominated
UK Actor Frank Finlay
FRANK FINLAY, 89, British actor
who was Academy Award-nominated for
his work alongside Laurence Olivier in
Othello, has died aged 89.
Finlays family said he died of heart
failure last month at his home in Weybridge, southern England. In a statement,
they called him a wonderful father, loving grandfather and a damn fine actor.
Handsome, deep-voiced and capable
of both charm and menace, Finlay was
a founding member of Britains National
Theatre company, played the lothario
Casanova in a 1971 television series of
the same name and starred in the TV
miniseries Bouquet of Barbed Wire, a
portrait of a damaged family that was a
scandalous hit in 1976.
He played Iago, nemesis to Oliviers
Othello, onstage and in a 1965 film adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy, for
which he was Oscar-nominated as best
supporting actor.
Other film roles included Porthos in
Richard Lesters big-budget 1973 take on
Georgy Girl
Author
Margaret
Forster
MARGARET FORSTER, 77 the
author of Georgy Girl and more than 20
other novels, has died in London after
suffering from cancer in the back and
spine..
Her husband, Hunter Davies, said
she died Monday at a hospice in London.
The couple spent much of their time in
Englands peaceful Lake District and
also in London.
Davies, also an author, said she underwent a double mastectomy 40 years
ago and recovered fully, but the cancer
returned to her back 10 years ago.
I thought she was a goner, he said
of her initial bout with cancer.

The first Grand Slam of 2016, the Australian Open at Melbourne, January 18-31,
witnessed Andy Murray reach his fifth final in
the Australian heartland, but for the fifth time
he remained unsuccessful. Facing old rival
Novak Djokovic, who he has beaten only nine
times in their thirty career encounters, saw a
series of events play on his mind beside tennis, as the Serb captured his sixth Australian
title winning 6-1, 7-5 7-6, (7-3) Murrays
concentration was off kilter, as wife Kim, was
expecting a child (they had a baby girl)and
was near the due date, while father-in-law
Nigel Sears, who coaches Ana Ivanovic,
suffered a seizure watching his protg and
was rushed to hospital. A disappointed Murray headed immediately for the airport eager
to catch the first plane home, after completing
his media responsibilities. Murrays victims
included Bernard Tomic (Aus) David Ferrer
in the quarters, and Joao Sousa of Portugal
in the semi-finals.
Brother Jamie Murray, and partner Bruno
Soares of Brazil, claimed their first Grand
Slam mens doubles crown beating Daniel
Nestor of Canada and the Czech, Radek

First Round
France 23 Italy 21
Scotland 9 England 15
Ireland 16 Wales 16
ALL CREDIT to Italy for getting to within one
lousy drop goal attempt and beating France.
The last-minute chance fell to Sergio Parisse
who had already scored a try in this match.
Backrow forwards, alas, are not the sort of
people youd turn to for a winning drop-goal
and Parisse predictably made an awful mess
when he could have waited for another few
moments to give his flyhalf the chance.
Later in the afternoon, England took a
great step forward up at Murrayfield where
they comprehensively blunted the Scotland
attacks, restricting the home side to three
penalty goals. Their success was by no
means spectacular but they scored two
tries based on their forward dominance. One
man stood out Billy Vunipola at No 8. He
rightly earned the Man of the Match award
for his outstanding ball-carrying, defence
and driving.
The England game under their new coach
Eddie Jones is anything but exciting but these
days you dont see much of the ball since
it spends most of its time surrounded by
massive forwards.
Ireland had to overcome the absence
through injury of a good third of their peferred
team but despite that raced into a 13-0 leaving Wales clearly puzzled. But back came
the boyos and their powerful scrummaging
was rewarded with a try for Toby Faletau and
Fed Cup
Britains women competed at the Federation Cup in Eilat, Israel, in the Europe/Africa
Group 1, where skipper Judy Murray was
forced through injuries to bring in 16-year-old
Kate Swan; born in Bristol, lives in Kansas.
Heather Watson and the doubles duo of
Jocelyn Rae and Anna Smith completed
the line-up. The format was two singles and
a doubles match. Britain beat South Africa
3-0, and then Georgia 2-1, with Kate Swan
winning both her games. A 2-1 loss against
Belgium, with both Watson and Swan losing,
ended Britains progress Venus Williams
claimed her 49th career title winning the Taiwan Open, February 14, after beating Misaki
Doi of Japan, 6-4, 6-2.

Ireland succumbed to appalling weather
and brutal French tactics in Paris. The reigning champions couldnt add to their single
point from the draw with Wales. Jonny Sexton
put over three penalties before a heavy tackle
side-lined him and France scored a try under
the post to give them a narrow victory.
Scotland are no good at beating Wales, it
being 2007 when they last won. Wales went
off like a rocket and scrum-half Gareth Davies
ran in a fifty-metre try. But Scotland then
looked the likelier winners as they dominated
the middle half of the game.
