Immigrants 'cost UK 2bn a year'
Britain's generosity is being 'abused' by immigrants who now cost the country 2 billion a year, Tory leader Michael Howard will say. Town hall spending on asylum has risen thirtyfold since...
Guardian Unlimited
Much like US conservatives, the Tories appear to be playing the fear card and using immigrants as their pawns.
Shipman's youngest victim identified as four-year-old girl murdered in hospital Independent
This is just the craziest story! This doctor apparently may have killed as many as 250 people during his tenure!
Murdered schoolboy 'not bullied' Guardian Unlimited
A very sad story about a young boy who was stabbed as a result of peer pressure and 'not bullying'. Well, if this isn't a case of bullying, I don't know what is.
Student Sally 'unlawfully killed' BBC
A bizzare murder case where a woman was leaving NYE festivities and her apparent killer jumped to his death hours later, before it was decided that she had been murdered. Her last few texts indicated she was in trouble, but weren't received due to the delay because of the excessive volume of NYE texts.
'Say no until you're ready' is sex health message to children The Scotsman
Again, similar to the policy being promoted in the US and Minnesota, but I don't think it is the right focus. There's something missing, perhaps education? Kids are exposed to so much more and growing up faster, if you will, and need more that "Just say no" message.
