These are the stories making headlines all over the world. So much information reaches us each day it is difficult to sift out what is and is not important.

It took eight guards to pull the unarmed offender away from the jeep who was within touching distance. After several seconds of struggling, security agents forced him to the ground.  The Pope was not hurt and did not even notice what was going on behind him. A Vatican spokesman said: "He was clearly deranged but did not want to kill or harm the Pope, he only wanted to draw attention to himself."

President George Bush keeps smiling while the ice caps are melting, which is tangible proof our climate is changing and worryingly, faster than predicted, causing some concern for scientists. George still cannot see the wood for the trees.

GLOBAL ECONOMY v CLIMATE

 

China announces policy on global warming ahead of G8 summit this week.  Hu Jintao released the core Socialist moral system entitled the Eight Honours and Eight Shames as a set of moral codes to be followed by the Chinese people.  It has been widely regarded as one of Hu Jintao's ideological solutions to the increasing lack of morality in China after Chinese economic reforms brought in a generation of Chinese predominantly concerned with earning money and power

The NHS hospitals trusts funding crisis and staff cuts

HEALTH SERVICE 7 JUNE 2007

 

Our deteriorating Health Service, is a cause of much concern to all those who've contributed over the years. Independent Trusts are moving the goalposts to suit themselves ........  Finances have never been in better shape, but it is heading for economic disaster. 

 

Morale among staff is at an all-time low. Contrasting visions of Britain's most consistently popular institution were presented yesterday by doctors and ministers. Yet their accounts were so far apart they appeared to occupy parallel universes. Vital administration personnel are being overworked and in some case constructively or unfairly dismissed to save the NHS money, with no thought for the health of those they are causing stress to facilitate early leaving.

There was a time when you had the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Now we rarely speak to our partners and have to schedule time to touch base on the important issues. No wonder the divorce rate is rising and no wonder our values are changing to reflect the disposable society we are creating.

 

Instead of helping our neighbours, some of them we fear, simply because we don't understand their culture and they ours. Whereas, the world is shrinking due to globalisation and free information exchange, much of which is achieved via the internet.

 

If you've ever fancied building yourself a dream house, or doing a conversion, and your council (or neighbours) start to give you a hard time, then this site may be useful to you. We reveal many of the tricks council officers get up to when enforcing as a result of neighbour complaints and the Old Boys Act.  We also reveals the inner workings of council chambers and committee rooms (see evidence transcripts) and how distorted or misreported facts can cause serious injustice.
