Russia today on adoption in the UK

This links to a radio programme (in English) about forced adoption. Note the story recently in polish express.

I am not commenting on Friday's events as yet beyond what I said in The House. I had been assured by people that the government would allow the bill to pass, but this did not happen.

The bill seems quite reasonable although I'm not too keen on the grandparents' bit. Where can I find your commments in the House?
Thanks.

The bill was more than reasonable and covered a lot of issues that would make for a better family justice system.
There were a few comments made in the house that questioned parts of the bill and questioned whether making things more complex would hinder matters. I don't think those in the house quite understood that you are not seeking to make things more complex, rather more transparent.
Please do not give up on your draft bill John, it is sorely needed to help address issues in the UK Family Justice System ...

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
