Make sure you read the comments at the bottom

You'd only send someone to live in Glasgow - surely by far the worst city in Britain - if you truly hated them.. I suppose the sad Marxists that Labour hired to run the MoD and Foreign Office regard anyone who helps British troops to be beneath contempt and therefore fair game.

Street-sweeper sucks up dog

16 Jun, 2:39 AM

A dog owner in New York saw his pet sucked up and killed by a street-sweeping truck and was left holding just the lead.

Robert Machin, 57, had just finished walking his two Boston terriers in a Bronx street and was about to put them into his car when the truck appeared.

The retired public transport worker said he was suddenly whipped around and saw one of the dogs, Ginger, being swallowed by the sweeper's round bristles.

.....sorry

Flat cap 'a security risk'

21 Jun, 7:37 AM

A pensioner has had to take off his flat cap in a Staffordshire pub because it posed a security risk.

Staff at Yates's Wine Lodge in Newcastle-under-Lyme told 81-year-old Harvey Talbot to remove his hat because it could hide his face during a crime.

Mr Talbot, who lives in the market town, was dressed in a suit when he called into the pub for a pint on his way home from the shops.

It's just getting too silly now!!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Councils using the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) to spy on families to check if they live in the correct catchment area for school.

RIPA was pushed onto the statute books on the basis of being required to tackle serious crime and terrorism and now council officials can use it to spy on our kids.
