On Wythenshawe (again) and other thoughts
Rather interestingly, it has been revealed that neuroscientists have apparently managed to find the conscience within the brain.
They believe they have found it in the neurons of the lateral frontal pole. I however do not believe this, as past psychological evidence has demonstrated that our conscience is formed by our perceptions, our cognitive abilities, our reaction to social situations, and our neurological development. Thus, most of the cerebrum is involved in forming our moral conscience, and that the lateral frontal pole is only a key part of that. Also, in neuropsychology, insecticides similar to DDT have been linked to higher incidences of Alzheimer's disease in those who use them. DDT was banned in the USA in 1972 and many other nations shortly thereafter, but as the onset of Alzheimer's dementia generally does not occur before the age of 70, it is worth mentioning here as the patients studied clearly used it long before it was banned.
On Wythenshawe and Sale East's by-election, now that nominations have closed, I can reveal who exactly which opponents we now face:
John Bickley, UKIP
Captain Chaplington-Smythe (not his real name), OMRLP
Daniel Critchlow, Conservative
Mary Di Mauro, Liberal Democrats
Mike Kane, Labour
Eddy O'Sullivan, BNP
Pity there were no independents or new minor party candidates coming forward at the last minute, as has happened in a few past by-elections of this parliament. Interestingly, our UKIP opponent lives furthest away from the constituency, albeit in Eddisbury,Cheshire,not too far from Manchester but still not in Greater Manchester where the rest of the candidates (ours included) live.
