Johanna Campbell, my great great grandmother's sister and housekeeper to Queen Victoria at Glas-allt...
My great great grandmother Jane Clark Campbell died at the age of 22, having had a son with one Alexander Calder.

Johanna Campbell was born at Khantore, Crathie in 1852, the daughter of a labourer. ...

Meet James Walker-Gurley, newly elected Councillor for Reform in Nottinghamshire and cabinet member for economic development and asset management. Now watch the above video, courtesy of Political Custard. This has to be one of the most stand-out car crash interviews in recent history.

It is long-standing tactic by governments through the ages when faced with serious rebellions, making changes without altering the thrust of the legislation. The Guardian reports that leading rebels told the paper that they had been promised significant changes to the planned cuts that could cost the government several billion pounds over the next few years but look set to ...
