http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/news/Yob...il/article.html A YOB who broke a police officer's rib after ripping a number plate from a car has been given a suspended jail term.

Jobs range from grave restorers and lingerie saleswomen to equine dentists and falconers. Sixteen of the 31 Conservative shadow cabinet members have registered financial interests outside Parliament including William Hague, shadow foreign secretary, who earned around £200,000 last …

The head of Tayside police has apologised after being caught speeding on a hazardous stretch of the A9. Chief Constable Kevin Mathieson was travelling at 72mph in a 60mph zone near Kingussie last September. He accepted responsibility for the offence and was fined £60 and received three penalty points on his licence.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7836055.stm Burglars have snapped the neck of an elderly woman's budgie in front of her after she refused to hand over money.
