Humans are strange creatures for a whole host of reasons, and among the weirdest is the fascination with those who kill their fellow humans. According to the BBC, our fascination with killers is nothing new. When William Corder was executed for the 1828 murder of his lover, his misdeeds and ultimate fate weren t just fictionalized and presented to the public in plays and puppet shows, but parts of his body were on display, too. Thousands of people turned up to watch him die, and for weeks afterwards, a nearby London shop attracted customers by displaying a grisly piece of memorabilia: his ear and a piece of his scalp.
A CLASS of Year 5 children at St George’s C of E Primary School in Barrow have been awarded Blue Peter music badges. All 28 pupils in the class will receive the special badge for showing particular talent and enthusiasm for music, with some being delivered via post to the children’s homes this week. Prior to the national lockdown, the class worked on music projects. This included composing their own music, writing lyrics and performing for their school and community. Some of the class took part in the ‘Young Voices’ children’s choir concert at the Manchester Arena, with others singing in the school’s choir.

Let us resolve that we will build out of this Covid crisis, the lasting and positive legacy of a high quality, National Care Service, the first minister told MSPs.
That review - led by former NHS Scotland boss Derek Feeley - has spoken to more than 1,000 users of social care and experts to develop a blueprint for the future. So what does it recommend and will it happen?
