LET’S be clear. This week did not see the first-ever MAN give birth to a baby. What happened was a woman who took enough male hormones to grow a beard got pregnant and had a daughter. This was possible because the mother, who wants to be known as Thomas, still kept all her reproductive organs. It’s obviously not a straightforward case ...
ON Wednesday we read about a South Yorkshire part-time postman who, faced with debts and the rising cost of living, went into his garage and hanged himself. Others, all over the country, must be feeling similarly desperate as, suddenly, income can no longer keep pace with the spiralling cost of food and petrol. And there’s no ...
FRIDAY night. ITV’s big birthday tribute gig. We’re only minutes into the show. But already we have the first big foot-in-gob horror as a backstage microphone is shoved in front of gusset-flashing, boyfriend-bore Amy Winehouse. "I love it, I love it. Blakey’s back in two weeks." Nelson Mandela: Happy 90th Birthday. Hardly the place to be name...
FOR once Cherie Blair is right! Anyone can be a victim of her and her husband’s stupid human rights laws and Labour’s tough-as-a-tissue crime policies of the past ten years.
I don’t know how she manages to suppress a laugh as she pontificates on knife crime.
Do you think she really is concerned about your kids or more concerned with the ...
A FRIEND of mine, a plasterer, has just been forced to take a ten per cent pay cut. Another guy I know in the building trade hasn’t worked for two months. Remember when the "experts" said that our house prices wouldn’t fall like America’s. And where are we today? In full-scale collapse with worse to come. Unfortunately, it will be the same for ....
HELPLESS three-year-old Tiffany Hirst died of pneumonia due to severe malnourishment while living in "squalor, filth and degradation". She hadn’t been fed for more than a week, was covered in insect bites and had been dead for two days before her "parents" — and I use the word loosely — even bothered to check on her. The...
ACRES of newsprint and much verbal incontinence are being expended this week on the 60th birthday of that great and unique British achievement – the National Health Service. It is without doubt the most popular, and most criticised, institution in the country. After six decades, it is hardly surprising the bones are beginning to creak and...
SNUG in his tiny custom-made hammock, ship’s cat Kilo takes his ease shortly before three laughing yobs throw him into the Thames to drown. When I wrote a few weeks ago about the senseless killing of HMS Belfast’s loveable little mascot, I received one of my biggest mailbags. The general feeling was that if kids think nothing of .....
'GORDON should go,' a key Labour figure insists privately. 'But who will tell him?' The question is haunting Labour — from humble MPs facing the election axe, right up to and including Tony Blair who is monitoring every ripple and eddy in the party he so recently led. The ex-PM is keeping well clear of any plotting — and believes Gordon will .......
WITH a family like hers, poor little Shannon is far better off with local authority workers — because her mum clearly doesn’t care. Karen Matthews is a disgrace and an insult to mums everywhere after allegedly admitting she knew where Shannon was "from day one". There are claims of a twisted plan to have the nine-year-old ...
