Louis Pasteur, a man who saved millions upon millions of people, was born on December 27, 1822. If he lived in today's world he would probably have thousands of people on Twitter demanding he be imprisoned because he "ruined their milk freedom".

Devastating. With the efforts to make Sunderland a cultural epicentre, it is a surprise the Glass Centre doesn't fit in with it. Glass made the city what it is and deserves celebration. Don't forget the artisanry and training that will be lost too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
