http://www.richarddawkins.net/foundation_articles/2013/3/10/sexual-apartheid-in-university-college-london

An incredible event happening just behind the corner, and not just in London but during a scientific conference organised at the University College London, in the UCL premises!!!!
How long will religion still hold back humanity to someplace around the middle-age?


Women are probably the only chance this planet has to survive us.
Let's get them out from the religious hell all over the world.

Gove is hailed as a raising star: but he does not deserve it.

Mr. Gove is a news editor who has shown the maximum possible disregard for evidence-based discussion, a deep ignorance of basic reading of stats and also an exceptional hubris. Why is he taking decisions about what the whole country ought to learn? Why?
