Gays in the Armed Forces? Pah! Here in the UK, we have Satanists, too. 12:37:24 PM    comment []

How the mighty are fallen My local team, Brighton and Hove Albion - strugglers in the second tier of football here in the UK - met the former giants Leeds United today. Leeds were relegated from the top flight last year, after a nail-biting ever-so-near-escape. Surely tiddlers like Brighton couldn't overcome the recently great Leeds? Final score: Brighton & HA 1 - Leeds United 0 And it was an own goal, too. Ouch. 12:57:47 AM    comment []

The difference between the future and the past (Minutes from the No. 10 Lobby briefing of journalists) "Asked if the Government remained committed to a draft Bill on [corporate manslaughter laws], the Prime Minister's Spokesperson said that it would be inappropriate to comment on the contents of the forthcoming Queen's Speech. Put to her that she had commented in detail on the Gambling Bill, the PMS pointed out that the Gambling Bill had been included in last year's Queen's Speech." 12:17:12 AM    comment []
