DAILY MIRROR: “MOTHER OF PURE EVIL” – In the rush to damn, the Mirror seems to be calling Shannon Matthews “PURE EVIL”. And that’s harsh.

COUNTER-TERRORISM POLICE today rounded up hundreds of Britons suspected of membership in organizations described as “irritating” to Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The exact number was not released, but police officials said that many more are expected, “depending on the Prime Minister’s mood this morning.”
“Our sole purpose is to keep citizens safe from the threat of international terrorism,” said Thomas Ayckroyd, a spokesman for the Home Office. “While these detainees may all be British citizens, they were clearly engaged in treasonous acts designed to destabilize Her Majesty’s government by embarrassing, irritating, or otherwise inconveniencing the Prime Minister.”

Ps And Qs: David Cameron Joins The Baby P Debate
BABY P. No rest yet. The court case has yet to be played out. The mother, step-father and lodger have yet to be sentenced.
Children’s Secretary Ed Balls has seen a report into the case. He has made his views know. But as is the fashion in modern politics, no-one makes a decision and moves on, they only join the debate.
His lack of a firm hand and inability to deliver a final ruling allows papers like the Sun to emote and start campaigns. They join the debate. We all join the debate. And nothing gets done. Not really.

Life In The UK Is Lonelier Than Ever Before
THE research has been done and the BBC can confirm that “Life in UK ‘has become lonelier'”.
Researchers from the University of Sheffield had planned to speak with hundreds of people, but once they knocked on the door of widow Mrs Linda Hartle, and she answered, they felt unable to leave, staying for a spot of tea and to look through countless photo albums of life as it once was.
When Mrs Hartle began to cry and plead that it was too late for the researchers to go home, and what with the icy roads and hoodies too dangerous, they decided to stay a while longer…

In Living Colour: A Short History Of British Television
BRITAIN was the first country in Europe to provide regular colour television broadcasts.
Early experiments in the 1950s led to the announcement in March 1966 that a fledgling service was planned. (A live colour feed was provided for the World Cup final, but, as with numerous other broadcasts, no one appears to have considered it worthy of keeping.)

Robert Fisk Leaves Indy To Write For The Daily Star
ROBERT Fisk writes for the Daily Star:
MODEL agencies are turning down sexy Miss England Laura Coleman because she is too fat. The blonde has gone up a dress size to a perfect 10. But Laura, who will take part in Miss World in South Africa next month, has found most agencies have a problem with her new curves.

Sadistic Police Give Freezing Cold Drunk Women Flip-Flops
IN Devon women are being handed flip-flops by police in large black boots. It’s a woman’s right to shoes, says the Mail:
Drunk women who stagger about in high heels are to be protected – at public expense – from twisting their ankles. They will be handed flip-flops to wear by police outside nightclubs as they wend their way home. The scheme is part of a £30,000 drive by police and councillors to prevent ‘alcohol-related harm’.
It’s sub-zero in Devon. And the local police – sadists – are giving girls in miniskirts flip flops.

Nicolas Sarkozy Feels A Little Prick
ONE of the more marketable things about Nicolas Sarkozy is that he is pocket sized. And this is good news for voodoo practitioners, who have fashioned a life-size replica of the French President.
One proviso to sale is that the voodoo dolls should carry a label saying they are offensive to him, rules the French judiciary.
How the stuffers of the Petit Sarkozy must rejoice at that, a badge of dishonour from the Beaks should multiply sales.
