In the same way any boys who ask for "penny for the guy" next year are taking a risk (particularly if they use a sign).

To be fair anyone could be locked up for 28 days whether or not they display a "penny for the guy" sign.

The Violette Szabo museum is also taking a risk as is anyone playing a videotape of "allo allo".

I accept entirely that the Attorney General may decide that prosecuting such people is not in the public interest, but before I dress up in a Guy Fawkes costume I would wish to get an agreement from the CPS not to prosecute.

Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin...
