The "hissy fit" doctor(s) concerned (the treatment would be of no use anyway), the Portsmouth council officials who went to the courts attempting to stop the parents taking Ashya to Prague, the judge who granted extradition application, the CPS and police who with almost maniacal vigor pursued and persecuted the parents across half of Europe, some elements of the media who embarked on a campaign of condemnation and demonisation of the parents with little or no justification other than their own warped agenda's, should all read this story and feel shame at their attitudes and actions at the time. Ashya King is in remission now and may that continue. His parents have been vindicated for their actions in doing what ever may be ne...

The headline from this MSN, introduces an article which, ostensibly, is to report on the American initiative to "normalise" the relationship between Havana and Washington.The article of course does nothing of the sort, and soon sinks to the depth of yet another criticism to add to the list of criticisms leveled at Cuba and Fidel Castro in particular, over the last 56 years.The piece of journalistic nonsense, goes the way of all the rest and seeks to explain away the Cuban revolution as just another failed exercise in the "Marxist" experiment of economy management and ignores, as is often the case with American versions of history, the "Why" and the "How...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/clocks-go-back-remember-to-change-yours--for-possibly-the-last-time-ever-9817740.html The clocks go back, so remember to change yours – for possibly the last time ever The Persistence of Memory - Salvador Dali British Summer Time (BST), officially ended at 2 AM this morning, which means that we are now all on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and will remain so until sometime in March of 2015. This ludicrous practice of changing the clocks by one hour twice every year, was originally a wartime measure designed to boost production. Even after the war the practice has continued apart from the short experimental break during the period 1968 two 1971. The experiment did not continue beyond this time as it was considered that darker mornings would somehow provide a more dangerous environment for schoolchildren and early-morning workers.An argument that I have never really understood or accepted. Notwithstanding all the available ev...
http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/woman-to-spend-three-days-putting-5000-clocks-back-an-hour A most futile and pointless practice. I woke at my usual time this morning. My usual time that is according to my body clock, which for many, many years, has determined that I should wake (all other things being equal) at any time between 04:00 and 05:00 every day, including weekends.. This morning, I woke at 04:15. I knew it was that time, because the little traveling clock, which has served well for a number of years, indicated such when the button on top was pressed to turn on the light to illuminate the digital face. Apart from the sound of rain against the window, and the beginnings of the winds promised for later today, it was very quiet and peaceful. Suddenly a cold and very disturbing feeling came to mind and I looked at the clock again. It now showed 04:22 and then I realised what had taken place over night. Some faceless shadowy set of bureaucrats or "admini...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/kate-middleton/9878818/Hilary-Mantel-portrays-Duchess-as-a-shop-window-mannequin.html Novelist Mantel criticises Duchess Hillary Mantel I am no great royalist nor do I join in the euphoria surrounding the the Cambridge's and the expectancy of the new heir. However, I do recognise that this Hilary Mantel person (until today I had never even heard of her), is a sad and it se ems spiteful example of a warped mind carried away with a delusional view of her own importance. Had a man made the same remarks, there would be an outcry of indignation with screams of "sexist", "chauvinist" etc. from some elements of society. To redress the balance slightly, perhaps the sad ugly specimen of Mantel could loose some weight, get her teeth fixed, and crawl off into obscurity and do something useful, like knitting baby mittens for example.
