The Pistorius wailing reminded me that we are never too far away from our basic instincts. When I heard the wailing I hoped someone would come along and put a stop to it.

The Royals down under.
On balance I support the concept of the UK monarchy...just.
However, not impressed with Prince William. His efforts at public speaking make me cringe -even worse when he attempts to crack a joke. Very wooden and weak.
Stupid, pointless and irrelevant comments - trying to convince the masses how in touch they are.
Glad I've got that off my chest.
Still got GP's and Hillsborough to go though!

So I imagine it will be turned into an upmarket Chinese Bazaar with a sideline in tacky sports clothes and trainers.

Lets hope he does a good job. (not)

25 schools in Birmingham are being investigated, pupils were seen being segregated, and the preachers have stated that it is a Jihad, and all methods are valid, the ultimate goal is strict islamic education. Skynews.
Instead of trying to change the system in the UK, why don´t the parents move on to a country where the education of their children is more in keeping with strict islam .
