IOE’s Drama Studio has been renamed Punnett Hall in honour of Margaret Punnett, Vice-Principal of the London Day Training College (LDTC) from 1902-33. The LDTC was established in 1902 before becoming the Institute of Education in 1932. #WeAreIOE

Replying to @TheUnionUCL
@theunionucl during the sad duty of clearing my late sister's house I found this photo belonging to my father, William Duncan Parker (1919-94) (Chemistry at UCL 1938-40). He was a sprinter of some ability and I have marked where he managed to appear in the picture three times!

Bypass adoption requirement criteria and buy a baby from abroad instead. Surely all children should have the same safeguarding standards applied to all forms of state sanctioned parenthood? #surrogacy
