Pictures of drought-stricken land, higher temperatures, water restrictions and dying suburban gardens have become part of the voter's psyche.

With an election expected next year, Howard's team are devising an environmental platform based on water policy, rural land care and alternative energy sources.

They cry, “Tory Tory Tory! Banzai! Die for Empress Thatcher,” to borrow the words of Conservative MP Boris Johnson.Back in the real world, the harsh...

As the years went by, the psychic researchers themselves passed on to the next world. Predictably, spiritualists reported that some of them started sending back "messages" from beyond to old friends. Or perhaps even that was just another spiritualist charade. In the field of psychic research, the Big Questions always ended in the realm of the Big Maybe...
