You're not planning on becoming a judge any time soon are you ?

Seems to me like this country is turning into a re-enactment of The Lord of The Flies and it's down to one thing, benefits. Rewarding people financially for breeding was always going to result in cases like this as they care more about the money than the children. Makes you wonder many more are producing offspring for the free ride.

MEP actually

He's been a Lord since 1998 hasn't he, why speak about race relations, immigration and the "white working class" now if it were not for the fact that an election is just round the corner? Also, tell me when this man showed an interest (apart from his anti semitic rants) in anyone but himself and the Muslim community.

Is there an election coming up? Anyone who believes the crap spouted by this Government these days are truly deluded. As for Lord Ahmed, Just a fashionable minority given power but not by the public.

That doesn't sound right. According to the Bectra site there was a scheme that ran in parallel to the Home Access pilot in 2008 that helped "Looked After Children", I assume that's the PC term for disabled kids and those in care. The latest announcement is targeted at low income families who may not be able to afford a computer or the internet, no mention of prioritising for disabled kids and those in care.

Nothing but that's not the point. The Government are lacking in backbone and are desperately trying to keep a lid on the powder keg that sooner or later will inevitably explode in a spectacular fashion. Is this why they were banned???

The BNP doesn't seek world domination, Islam does. I'd have allowed the march to go ahead, it would have fun watching them getting their teeth kicked in

It isn't just laptops... The value of the Home Access Grant to certain low income families will cover the cost of an package (£600) which includes a computer or laptop; basic software; internet access for one year; and three-years technical support. Any parents wanting a higher-specification can 'top-up' the grant to cover the cost. http://industry.becta.org.uk/print.cfm?resID=39686 For those who want their blood pressure to rise even more, details how to apply here... http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/ Anyone know if the flood victims in Cumbria have received their one million yet?

I think they over-egged it a little, we need to start emitting more carbon and fast. brrrrrr

Well, not sure what they did in Copenhagen but it certainly did the trick didn't it? Cold outside innit?

From 20 March 2000 Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past lol According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event". "Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said. another lol David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually "feel" virtual cold. and finally... The chances are certainly now stacked against the sortof heavy snowfall in cities that inspired Impressionist painters, such as Sisley, and the 19th century poet laureate Robert Bridges, who wrote in "London Snow" of it, "stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying". lol

Realistic info from the BBC, you having a laugh? Government sponsored propaganda and spin more like. I notice that a lot of comments have been deleted on there, wonder why, perhaps they only want people to read what's "on message". This one seemed to make sense though.... As to global warming, http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/01/05/december-uah-global-temperature-anomaly-down-by-almost-half/#more-14851 clearly shows that yes, there has been warming since 1979 (when satellite data started being collected, and this warming has, globally averaged, been around 0.16 C/decade. Considering that 1850 is acknowledged by anyone with a brain who has done any research whatsoever to have been the end of the "Little Ice Age", one would thing that "warming" from 1850 to present would be not only a natural thing, but a good thing as well. People were not particularly comfortable during the "Little Ice Age". Also, if you look carefully at the graph of globally-averaged satellite temperature data, you can clearly see that from about 2002-2006 no additional warming occurred whatsoever, and from 2007-present it has been cooling significantly, although we are still at +0.28 C temperature anomoly, so if you believe folks when they tell you what the temperature "should be", then we are theoretically 0.28 C above that point. If anyone is seriously worried about being +0.28 C "above normal", and if anyone seriously believes that the activities of man have had anything whatsoever to do with that "anomoly", I would strongly suggest you study the available geological time-scale climate data. There have been MANY times in the history of the earth when it was quite a bit warmer globally than it is now. Geologists call these warm eras "climate optima". Why would they call the warm periods "climate optima"? Perhaps because a warm earth is extremely pleasant and prosperous for its inhabitants? 0.28 C above what it should be eh? And here's me without me shorts on

Views in relation to what exactly? If it's a local election it's not a question that you would be asking is it?

The Star website states that the charges have been reduced due to the recession which is fair enough so I take it they will be going back up at some point and by how much?
