I'll only post a link to it as it's quite a lengthy article with pictures and video (the first photo does show a deceased man). Some quite unbelievable scenes, must have been horrific, especially for the children you can see clinging on to their parents in the stands. Judging from the article the PM is not messing around and appears to be demanding answers and rightly so. Mail Online - Egypt Football Riots

Thought i'd post this up, sad story but it seems the 'Freemen' movement originated in the states and the idea is slowly making its way over here, interesting so well worth sharing. Seems the Americans have a much more radical freemen movement over there thats armed and very dangerous but I'm finding this is spreading over here at an alarming rate too, last week I came across my first wannabe freeman in the form of a seventeen year old girl (well she tried to spout freeman crap to me anyway ) Good topic to discuss and something thats well worth a look, im glad folk dont have the same access to firearms/automatic weaponry over here, if they did I can just see some of the…

The mother who sent her child to school with a Smartie sandwich http://www.dailymail...ting-drive.html i've heard of a piece and crisps... but a smartie sandwhich? and i dont see why they have to "compete" with local takeways with "special deals"... in my school we weren't allowed out of the school grounds at lunch, it was school food or starve and it never did me any damage, why cant they simply do that?

Here is a topic mentioned in several of today's papers: My link Have this child's parents gone too far? Yes, I think so. It is one thing to allow him to explore his world in his own way, develop his likes and dislikes and so on without being shoved into a "You are a boy and you MUST like X, and you MUST reject Y because Y is for girls..." mentality. However, we sometimes take that too far. My next door neighbour has a girl and boy aged 4-years apart. The little boy has inherited all his older sister's clothes and toys, as well as some hand-me-downs from cousins of both sexes, and I have seen him happily playing in his garden on a warm afternoon wearing a sundress. …
