JSO said prosecutors struggled to prove that they intended to cause criminal damage, because they would not have realised how difficult it would be to clean the paint from the specialist pitch. Dr Hart, a GP from Bristol, said: 'I told the jury that I am taking the most effective action I can, on the best available evidence, to protect the health of my patients. To put it simply: I am doing my duty as a doctor.'

Experts found the rise in popularity of tea was linked to a fall in deaths across England during the Industrial Revolution, when sanitation was poor. They believe this is because boiling water to make a cuppa killed bacteria and parasites that caused fatal illnesses like dysentery. Professor Francisca Antman, of the University of Colorado Boulder, said: 'The nice thing about this setting is that it occurred before we knew the importance of clean water.'

She has been a staple of Countdown's dictionary corner for more than 30 years and is one of Britain's most respected etymologists - someone who studies the origins and history of words. Now, national treasure Susie Dent has revealed the long-lost words she'd most like to see back on British lips. Susie claims that hundreds of words are 'waiting to be revived magically' while talking exclusively to MailOnline.' Despite being coined hundreds of years ago, many of them, from 'hurkle-durkle' to'mumpsimus', are just right for today's society. So, how many of these ancient words do you know?

A mathematician produced a simplified version of the pandemic's simulation, which showed that more than 80% of people will be infected with no restrictions. According to a separate new report, only around 20% of the UK population would be affected in a single wave. Dr Samuel Johnson, a professor at the University of Birmingham, developed a scheme that accounted for the fact that people had a different number of contacts. For example, some people are more sociable or come into contact with large numbers of the public through their work, while others see hardly anyone.

There are 66 male prisoners who were jailed in the late 1800s for crimes ranging from pick-pocketing, rape, house breaking, and bicycle theft. Each criminal is shown both head-on and side-on in the police photos. Their crime is also shown on the black and white photos, as well as their initials and a crime reference number. Although some of the crimes merely sparked police suspicion today, some of the suspects were jailed for more serious offences such as robbery, violence, and forgery. Both of the ne'er-do wells are white men aged 20 to 60. The majority of them have beards and they are all photographed wearing what seems to be the same black coat. They were discovered in the library of late William St Clair, a scholar and senior research fellow at the Institute of English Studies, who died in 2021. When they go up for auction at Swan Auctions in Tetsworth, Oxfordshire, they are expected to sell for £2,000.

The three-page letter, which was thought to be lost by experts and dates back to about 1783, was discovered alongside others in a Gloucestershire country house's library. He was writing to Sophia Thrale, the daughter of his close friend and a rumoured love interest, Hester Thrale, who died later. The elderly lexicographer, who died in 1784 at the age of 75, reassured the child that she was 'not going to lose' his favour and lauded her math skills, which he referred to as 'arithmetick.' Dr. Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language was first published in 1755 after the author spent seven years compiling it.

Samuel Johnson has shared the bizarre symptoms he suffered after a horrific car crash in June 2021. In a column for Love Your Sister's website, the actor, 45, admitted that he'spoke with a Russian accent for several days' and then assumed he was a 'Japanese schoolgirl.' 'I admit, I was a bit wonky straight after the crash.' For three days, I had a Russian accent. I was a Japanese girl aged eleven for a day and a half,' he said.

In recent coming-of-age television shows such as Euphoria, Heartbreak High, and Skins, sex, heroin, teen anxiety, and high school drama are all recurring themes. However, the cast of Year Of, Stan's most recent teen drama series on Stan, has stated that the show is not to be similar to others. Samuel El Rahi (Mo), Joshua Hewson (Gus), Tharanya Tharan (Priya), Ira Dawson (George), and Samson Alston (Tully) told Daily Mail Australia how different the series is from Emmy-winning HBO drama Euphoria.

Indigo Rumbelow (left) on The News Agents told podcast that if her mother was refused from attending the hospital by the group, she would'personally comprehend' protesters' behaviour. "So we're disrupting ordinary people's lives, and I'm happy to say that doing so [is] a] difficult and difficult thing to do." When asked by former BBC journalist Jon Sopel whether she would take such action if it were her own mother who was detained, she said, "I would personally understand why there are Just Stop Oil demonstrators blocking the road." And if it's my mother,' he's still a virgin.' "Which is because we're talking about coming down the line in my lifetime," she said. Ms Rumbelow, whose father told MailOnline that she 'couldn't be more proud of her,' also reiterated that Just Stop Oil has a 'blue lights policy,' meaning they will never block a road if an emergency service vehicle with blue lights must pass by. The activist, who once glued herself to the M25 in Insulate Britain and was Extinction Rebellion's arts coordinator for North East London, had to refuse being a 'hypocrite,' having enjoyed breaks in Sweden, Lithuania, Croatia, and other beauty spots around the world before returning to activism full time.

Two Just Stop Oil activists were charged with criminal injury and aggravated trespass for allegedly causing a stoppage in play during Saturday's Gallagher Premiership final in Twickenham. On Monday, Wimbledon Magistrates' Court learned that Samuel Johnson, 40, of Reydon, Suffolk, and Patrick Hart, 37, of Brislington, Bristol, invaded the pitch midway through the match between Saracens and Sale.

Following an incident 24 minutes into the match between Saracens and Sale yesterday afternoon, Samuel Johnson, 40, and Patrick Hart, 37, have been charged with aggravated trespass. Fans booed the guys for a brief period of time, but stewards were able to escort the protesters off the field shortly after, with play returning shortly thereafter. Johnson and Hart have been placed in jail and will appear in Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday. The Metropolitan Police Gold Commander for London on the day, Commander Kyle Gordon said, "To date we have seen 102 slow marches throughout London by Just Stop Oil, which have caused significant disruption and anxiety to those trying to do their work in the city, leading to 51 arrests to date.

The United Nations General Assembly in Antwerp is a United Nations body. WILSON: To believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead - that is the Easter faith. However, such faith is still prevalent in Britain today, and sneers and derision are common. The vast majority of liberal opinion isn't simply dismissive of the Gospels; rather, it is vehemently opposed to Christianity. The majority of newspaper pundits, television comedians, satirists, and opinion makers disagree that Christianity is not merely a load of tosh, but that it is responsible for many of society's most common vices. The many benign aspects of faith are ignored by these agnostics and atheists, who are boasting about how logical they are. They see it simply as a sinister agent of control, particularly over women who are'subjugated' by the Bible, or even as a sinister anti-gay sect.

Forgetting is often seen as a personal loss. We blame ourselves for trying to recall an item of information but can't come up with it. Forgetfulness is especially worrying because the fear that our memory loss may be a result of a degenerative brain disease such as Alzheimer's.

Samuel Johnson has taken to social media to encourage his followers to help bring the aspirations of a woman with terminal bowel cancer come true. Keely Marinaccio, 35, of Australia, had received the devastating news that she had only 'days' left to live on Facebook. It was Keely's last attempt to raise $10,000 for his Love Your Sister charity, which was dedicated to 'vanquishing' cancer.
