  • We're in this together-You must be joking!
    The schoolgirl lover of Jeremy Forrest has denied that the shamed teacher is a paedophile revealing how 'she groomed him' before he took her virginity. The teenager cannot be named for legal reasons. - She claims that the pair had sex every other day last summer in hotels and in his car. They were caught out when they returned to school for the new term last September. In an interview with The Sun, she vowed to wait for him while he serves a five-and-a-half year sentence for abducting a schoolgirl and five child sex charges. A wealthy crime tsar with two houses has been given a taxpayer-funded allowance so he can stay overnight nearer his office. Tony Hogg is the £85,000-a-year Tory Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall. He is receiving £650 a month in public funds for accommodation to make his drive to work from HJelston to Exeter shorter. He is a former warship captain and he has chosen to bed down at a Navy camp where staying Monday to Friday would cost only £340 a month – but his office insists he is not profiting from the arrangement. Meanwhile, UK Taxpayers picked up a £35,000 bill when Prince Charles used the Royal train to visit the castle where Harry Potter films were shot and an RAF station. This 550-mile three-day trip was reportedly the most expensive in 2012-2013, costing £63-a-mile. We discussed this waste of public money when The Prince journeyed from Kemble - the nearest station to his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire - and onto Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, before heading to Alnmouth, Northumbria. In Spain there are moves afoot to get rid of the Ombudsman in the autonomous regions as Rajoy deepens the austerity measures and there's trouble brewing in Gibraltar

  • Blow the Whistle
    THE girl abducted by teacher Jeremy Forrest has vowed to marry him when he is freed. Her dad said she would wait for Forrest to be released from his 5½-year jail sentence. Meanwhile, Stuart Hall who is now convicted of paedophile activities received just 15 months for his crimes dating back to the 6os Meanwhile at a hospital in Furness there are stories of covers-up . The hospital boss at the heart of the NHS cover-up scandal offered a grieving father £3,000 ‘hush money’ while he was considering legal action over the deaths of his wife and newborn son, it was claimed yesterday. Carl Hendrickson, whose wife Nittaya and son Chester died in ‘horrific’ circumstances at Furness General Hospital in Cumbria, was visited twice at home by Tony Halsall, the local trust chief executive, and told that he should take the money and move out of the area. A BENEFITS cheat who fleeced nearly £168,000 has been given 110 YEARS to pay it back. Rachel Aspinall, 39, from Birkenhead, Wirral has to return just £126 a month to taxpayers. She had been robbing taxpayers. for nearly a decade. This mother of four pocketed income support and housing and council tax benefits after failing to inform authorities that she was living with her partner, who had a job at a car factory. Neighbours said Aspinall regularly went on exotic holidays and always took taxis before her arrest. Jailing her for ten months at Liverpool Crown Court, Judge Mark Brown said: “This was a cynical fraud. The public is sick and fed up with these cases. The world is changing and Brazil is now suffering riots. In Spain, the cuts are biting but the Government claims the medicine is working. Howevder, the top executives everywhere seem to be well re4warded as they still receive their perks whilst the rest of us suffer the cuts.

  • The UK- a Fatherless Society
    Neil Colbourne is back from a very sad bereavement and joins Vince to discuss the issues of the day starting with an argument in Spain over a pizza. Peter Hitchens writes in The Mail Online that ...."by the end of his or her childhood, a British boy or girl is much more likely to have a TV set in the bedroom than a father at home." He adds....."almost 50 per cent of 15-year-olds no longer live with both their parents. Although the figures are only an indication he states that that 79 per cent of children aged between five and 16 have a TV in their room. In almost all cases the absent parent is the father. There is no doubt about the facts here. He writes, "The cost of our wild, unprecedented national experiment in fatherlessness is now £49 billion each year – more than the defence budget." He gives us a figure..... costing each taxpayer £1,541 per year is rising all the time. Where does this money go? Hitchens informs us that the money partly goes on handouts and housing, which an old-fashioned family with a working father would not have needed. Partly it goes on trying to cope with crime, disorder, truancy, educational failure, physical and mental illness and general misery, which are so much more common among the fatherless than in those from stable homes. One in three marriages ends in divorce, while many who would once have married never even bother. About 300,000 families of all kinds separate every year. There are now three million children growing up in fatherless homes. What a picture of glowing hope for the future. The podcast clearly shows how life works in circles and that the fatherless society is heavily influenced by the lack of male teachers in Primary schools and the influences of pop idols. Can the G8 address these issues? No chance as Syria and Turkey are still encountering problems and we are now wondering whether David Cameron's priority is to send arms to the rebels. Maybe his problems are closer to home?

  • Money always at the root of all Evil
    16 people, 14 Romanians and two Spaniards, have been arrested from a group which exploited women from Eastern Europe.The operation was led by a Romanian citizen who captured girls in Romania and Moldova offering them a ‘well paid’ place of work such as a waitress or cleaner. Meanwhile, the world has been promoting a number one song called "Blurred Lines" feat. T.I. & Pharrell Williams and these are the words the world is singing....I know you want it, know you want it, I know you want it, You're a good girl......You the hottest bitch in this place.....I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two. Does anybody else think these words are pornographic? Viola player Natalie Holt ran out on to the stage of the Britain's Got Talent final armed with eggs last night. She then threw an egg at Simon Cowell, hitting his suit jacket, while the two confused opera-singing brothers performing in the final sang their song. Was this a stunt to help the ratings? MILLIONS of less well-off families not on the internet are to be offered computers for just £24. The offer also includes broadband from £2.99 a month, so Brits can get a PC and a year of web access for less than £60in is the latest push in the government-backed Get Online@Home initiative — aimed at the 10.8 million people without home web access. The scheme is the brainchild of web expert Baroness Lane Fox, the Government’s Digital Champion and founder of lastminute.com. Does she have a vested interest and do all citizens need to be online? Shameful greed of America's Deep South: Hundreds of US companies file new, even more spurious claims for damages, using BP blaze to grab money unfairly. As usual, money is at the root of all evil....

  • Who can we trust?
    Barbara Baker from the Costa Blanca stands in for Neil Colbourne who is in the UK on an errand of mercy. AS he staggered off the pitch at the Parc des Princes last night, David Beckham looked an emotional wreck. His career had scanned three decades but it was time to say a tearful adieu to Paris — and professional football. With nine minutes remaining, the fourth official indicated that it was time for Becks to leave the field and nearly 45,000 Frenchmen rose to salute this guy from the other side of the Channel. The alleged price fixing in the oil markets and the alleged evasion of taxes by Google are seen from a female perspective. Is it still incredible that people are around who do not use the Internet? Barbara is one of the few who still have a resistance to the modern technology. A British father, 53, has become the first man in the world to have his prostate removed to beat cancer the dreaded flaw which struck Angelina Jolie. It was discovered he was carrying the BRCA2 gene during clinical trials at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London. Hollywood actress Angelina had a double mastectomy after testing positive for the rogue BRCA1 gene which is linked to breast cancer British cleaners and Portuguese manual workers are among new suspects in the Madeleine McCann investigation, The Mail on Sunday has learned.

Meanwhile, a couple have been imprisoned after police uncovered a crime ring involving the smuggling of babies from Morocco into Spain for sale. The married couple were sentenced to two years prison and fined €3,240 for their involvement in the purchase of a baby from Ceuta. Could there be a link?

  • Prince Harry saves the day!
    In the Uk we saw the pageantry and splendour of the State Opening of Parliament which the Queen handled impeccably. It's easy to see how England is respected abroad. Legendary soccer manager Sir Alex Ferguson has retired after a wonderful career. A sex offender teacher was spotted acting in EastEnders by his former pupils, it was claimed. Rob Turner, 39 - a former music teacher who admitted sexual activity with a young girl at Basildon Crown Court in Essex four years ago - said he was on the popular BBC soap for six months.An EastEnders spokesman said its supporting actors are booked through agencies that have undergone ‘an approval process with the BBC. All this whilst the BBC celebrities scandal rolls on. In Spain, thousands of students and teachers took to the streets to in protest against educational reforms. Soaring unemployment has driven a record number of Spaniards to leave the country with Germany proving a star attraction. Finally, Prince Harry has never been one to stand on ceremony and as he played a game of sitting volleyball today, Prince Harry fell flat on his back with a decidedly unroyal hoot of laughter. The prince was opening the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs on the third day of his so far hugely successful US tour.

  • Algeria, Lance Armstrong, Spanish Families and UK Immigrants
    In Spain. families are cutting back on their food bill due to the financial crisis, according to government statistics. Popular items such as meat and fish are being dropped in favour of cheaper alternatives like pasta, rice and cheap meats. Spending on food per person fell in three consecutive months, with September witnessing a 2.3% fall and a decrease of 1.8% in October. In Algeria, fanatics have attacked workers at a gas plant. The outrage — ordered by Mokhtar Belmokhtar — killed 23 hostages and 32 militants over the course of four days at BP’s In Amenas gas plant, according to the Algerian government. It is believed 11 fanatics linked to al-Qaeda executed seven hostages before being killed by Algerian special forces in yesterday’s bloody desert showdown. After Lance Armstrong decided to open his heart to Oprah Winfreh, star cyclist Mark Cavendish fears no one will believe pro cyclists are clean again. Vavendish, the sprint ace, says the shamed star was so convincing in the past when lying about performance enhancing drugs, the TV revelations will leave the public wondering if cyclists are telling the truth forever more. Last night he said: “He was a hero to anyone wanting to be cyclist when I was growing up, but when he was asked in the past if he was cheating he was so adamant, so convincing. “I get irritated when people question if my success is through hard work, but after seeing the interview, I can now understand why people have a problem with believing us today when we say we are clean. “They could think ‘if Lance lied so well, so could they’.” BRITAIN’S top union boss has been accused of brainwashing after launching a secret bid to sign up schoolkids. Unite leader Len McCluskey has set up a team of “union tutors” to target every 15-year-old in the country. The hardline Left-winger has ordered his hit-squad to visit secondary schools as part of a campaign to “educate, agitate and organise”. A MIGRANT mum thanked the UK yesterday for letting her claim £14,500 a year in benefits. Natalija Belova, 33, told The Sun how she spurns full-time work — yet can afford foreign holidays and buys designer clothes. The Lithuanian said: “British benefits give me and my daughter a good life.” She has milked soft-touch Britain for £50,000 in benefits and yesterday said: "I simply take what is given to me." Overjoyed Natalija told how she lives a life of luxury thanks to our “strange” system, declaring: “It’s important to have nice things and good holidays.”
