A man who choked to death while trying to swallow a package of drugs could not have been saved, a sheriff has ruled after a fatal accident inquiry. Andrew Aitken, 41, collapsed in the street in front of passers-by in Irvine, Ayrshire, in August 2010. The FAI was told PC Gordon Young tried to revive the father-of-two, saying: "Please God, son, spit it out." Sheriff Alistair Watson ruled PC Young did all he could and immediately summoned paramedics. The cling-film package on which Mr Aitken choked contained 11 wrapped street deals of heroin. At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, Sheriff Watson praised PC Young and passer-by Jon Gilfillan, who was trained in first aid, saying th…

I thought some of you may be interested in signing an e-petition which as of today stands at 84,000 signatures. Basically with the govt changing pension calculations from RPI to CPI means that when you draw your pension the rate of inflation protection is lost.
