Here are the answers to last week\u2019s quiz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was some confusion this week regarding the quiz, because it assumed you would know that the UK tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mail, is a hotbed of extreme right-wing rhetoric and the continuous pushing of anti-European thinking.\u00a0 It was very close to the very centre of the campaign in favour of Brexit.\u00a0 Those of you lucky enough to have lived this long and not come across it will lose several points this week, the week that was, but gain a life less stressed, less horrid and more lovely, so, swings and roundabouts really\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
