So we can’t use Acton Magistrates’ Court to help clear the backlog because it was sold and is now a £1million+ development.

And we can’t use Tower Bridge Magistrates’ Court because it was sold and is now busy being a luxury boutique hotel.

Viruses are hoody-wearing hackers, but SARS2 is hardly the cleverest. My votes go to HIV, rabies, and herpes. Here are top 10 virus hacks (each a reason I love virology & science in general)... #1) many viruses employ signal jamming, preventing an infected cell from...
