This headline caught my eye as I have recently read an omnibus of HG Well’s fiction and was fascinated to find out he was a biologist by training. His writing was influenced by his knowledge of science, in the Island of Dr Moreau, vivisection is described and for a student in the late 1800’s it is fascinating that he should take on the mantle of someone who thought that this was unnecessary and cruel.

So it is with interest that I read that this trillionaire combo of Chan and Zuckerberg wish to cure or prevent all disease as their main philanthropic goal using AI technology. They’ve made their experts in Education and Social Justice redundant and will be recruiting new experts in Biology.They wish to go all in on AI-powered biology for their future philanthropy of which they intend to spend 99% of their future earning power.

In truth curing all disease and preventing anymore disease seems a pretty dystopian goal to me. We are cellular beings and cells misbehave and by natures path there will always be an adaption or perhaps an error that will produce perhaps something unwanted. That is life . In the same way that Chan and Zuckerberg have a goal, nature has a goal too and it isn’t always what humans want.

Sad to say at Westminster Magistrates’ Court six border officials – from Berkshire, Kent, Surrey and London have been charged with thefts of property from migrants arriving at Dover between August 2021 and November 2022. They have been bailed ahead of a further hearing at Southwark Crown Court on 26th February 2025

The case follows work done by the Home Office Anti-Corruption Investigators.

Shocked? I was. Not something that has a high profile in the News, didn’t even know that the Home Office had a department of Anti- Corruption Investigators. Are they still getting funding?

Beechings cuts of the 1960’s of local railway lines and stations in the British Isles has had a devastating effect both on the environment and the way of life of British towns and villages.

There is a little light being made in a very dark tunnel where a local Labour MP Amanda Hack is looking for funding to restore what is called ” The Ivanhoe Line” which connects Liecester and Burton-upon-Trent through North West Leicerstershire and South Derbyshire.

There is an existing line to carry freight , so a passenger line would make a lot of sense reducing congestion on the roads and buses.

The money was made available by the previous Conservative Government, but due to so called savings that the new Labour Government wanted to make the improvements were cancelled. This is so short sighted it is painful. There is an opportunity to do a small right to the big wrongs of Beeching, this is absolutely a no brainer. The money could be funded by HS2 as they have housing stock which once the work on the high speed train is finished the houses will be sold. Why not for the “Ivanhoe line”?

There is a Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage known as the Vienna Convention, which the African Country Burkina Faso’s transitional assembly has voted to sign.

This paves the way for Burkina Faso’s first Nuclear Power Plant which is being supplied by Russia. This will give energy security and boost energy capacity for the Country.

It’s important to know that this is one of 20 nuclear energy partnerships that the Russians have signed across the African Continent to date. Africa, clearly doesn’t that think the fossil fuel route is a good one.
