Let’s save 7,000 lives a year: That’s what could be achieved if prostate cancer received the same funding as breast cancer.

A tip of the hat to the Daily Mail for posting a piece on its front page yesterday, following the revelation that prostate cancer deaths had overtaken breast cancer deaths. Another tip of the hat for covering prostate cancer again today, in pieces taking up the front page and the whole of another page – here.

A third tip of the hat to Amanda Platell, a columnist for the paper, for her comments on the subject – here. Also for these two short pieces, when you scroll down:

Perhaps they should remove the curator of contemporary art, Clare Gannaway, who devised this ridiculous stunt.

Radio 4’s Today Show

Radio 4’s Today programme has introduced a new item on their show, Puzzle For Today.

It’s devised to tax our brains with difficult teasers.

Such as: Name someone who had ever seen or heard of the BBC’s equal-pay crusader Carrie Gracie before her resignation as China editor.
