I think it is wrong to take handcuffs off ANY prisoner, to pray. This is obviously the risk you take. Now he is on the loose.

The appartment was not treated as a crime scene, consequently it seems unlikely charges will ever be brought.

What do you think?

That the Government and The Financial Authorities are worried that we are going to spend too much on our Credit Cards.
The Bank of England is going to help out the poor struggling Banks today to the sum of £10 billion.
Here is a thought why doesn't this corrupt incompetent Government help out the consumer? Is it any wonder we are having to use credit for Christmas when we are taxed to the hilt so much, Nobody has the money for Christmas Due to all the Tax this government takes off us.

Your thoughts on this please.

We read with disgust that serial child neglector and McLiar Gerry McCann now has delusions that he is also and expert in dog handling. Gerry has taken to watching video's of dogs sniffing vehicles and believes he knows how it should be done. Upon watching a video of a British cadaver dog sniff his car, Gerry is said to have 'open-mouthed', To Gerry it looked like the dog was being encouraged to react in certain places of relevance... or in other words doing its job properly.

Has the ol' serial Child Neglector once again lost the plot ?

without any regard for proof?

Seriously, with the net being as worldwide as it is, a person's reputation can be torn to shreds by one vindictive nutter.

Are there libel laws in place to avoid such occurances?

We read dismayed that a key witness to the activities of the infamous child neglecting 'Tapas 9' gang has gone on the run in fear of being victimised by members of the gang. Such is these bullies reputation.

Isnt it about time the Police acted to ensure the safety of genuine witnesses in this sordid and high profile child neglect and child disapearance case ?

There is no moral judgment against piracy as a way of life. In fact the pirates seem more moral than the British Empire. What are the implications of this in society?

Crazy isn't. To my understanding, we could have a recision. Thier is a big housing burst, and most people can not afford Holiday gifts this Christmas (or at least not the gifts they would like to have.) The National Debt is a high as the sky- 9 BILLION and counting. Please, for the love God and this wonderful country, why oh why does George Bush think the economy is doing fine?

GAZA CITY -- The batteries are the size of a button on a man's shirt, small silvery dots that power hearing aids for several hundred Palestinian students taught by the Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children in Gaza City.

Now the batteries, marketed by Radio Shack, are all but used up. The few that are left are losing power, turning voices into unintelligible echoes in the ears of Hala Abu Saif's 20 first-grade students.

The Israeli government is increasingly restricting the import into the Gaza Strip of batteries, anesthesia drugs, antibiotics, tobacco, coffee, gasoline, diesel fuel and other basic items, including chocolate and compressed air to make soft drinks.

This punishing seal has reduced Gaza, a territory of almost 1.5 million people, to beggar status, unable to maintain an effective public health system, administer public schools or preserve the traditional pleasures of everyday life by the sea.

"Essentially, it's the ordinary people, caught up in the conflict, paying the price for this political failure," said John Ging, director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, which serves the majority refugee population. "The humanitarian situation is atrocious, and it is easy to understand why -- 1.2 million Gazans now relying on U.N. food aid, 80,000 people who have lost jobs and the dignity of work. And the list goes on."
