Scientists in Sweden have discovered what they are calling “an entirely new mechanism” for fighting cancer - by “exploding” cancer cells.

Politicians here and elsewhere have made their name by attacking bankers' greed, other countries’ mistakes, globalisation, deregulation, central bankers' blindness, too loose monetary policy, you name it-except usually themselves.
