Trio's Horror at Flood Scene

A STAITHES lifeboat volunteer called to help rescue people stranded by the Cockermouth floods has called the scenes that greeted him "unbelievable".
Lee Jackson, along with Staithes colleague Adam Robertson and Whitby's Howard Fields, were part of a swift water rescue team sent to help with the evacuation.

The Cumbrian town they found upon arrival on Thursday night was like something out of a disaster movie after heavy rain saw water levels reach 2.5m (8ft) in the town centre

100,000 Signatures but Heartbeat is gone!

A PETITION to save much-loved ITV drama Heartbeat from the chop has attracted 100,000 signatures from all over the world.
The petition was started in February this year by Brian Taylor, postmaster of Goathland Post Office, after ITV bosses announced the 1960s police drama was being mothballed.

Signatures have flooded in via the internet, but an incredible 60,000 signatures have been made in person at the post office and at Whitby's Grapevine cafe on a spin-off petition run by owners Mark and Tracy Witherington.

LITTLE-USED red phone boxes in Scarborough have been saved after councillors backed a motion to keep them up and running.
BT offered to sell the boxes to local authorities for just £1, with the authority then contributing towards their upkeep.

Eco Loons - From the Sublime to the Ridiculous

Posted by Old Holborn

Just spoke to their press officer (07847 204469)

OH: So you're not a charity and you're not a company. Who paid for the ad?
PlaneStupid: A donor
OH: Who?
PlaneStupid: Not at liberty to say. But someone who wants to protect the world from "catastrophic climate change".

Call me old fashioned, but if you are going to ram something down my throat, something I have not requested or something I don't believe in, then I want to know who is backing it. And why.

Getting the Whitewash Ready

Posted by Ranting Penguin

Sir John "Buggins Turn" Chilcot, who was part of the Butler Whitewash, is busy getting the gallons and gallons of whitewash ready in advance of the Iraq War Cover-Up.

Despite being in it up to his glass-eye, McCavity will not be questioned, which makes a travesty of it as it was the Scotch Cunt whose penny-pinching ensured our troops were placed in harms way with as little as 5 fucking bullets and a pair of skis.

A Challenge to the Politicians

Posted by Anna Raccoon

I don’t doubt that X-Factor is important to a lot of people, 12 million of them on average. I don’t doubt that a lot of those people are potential voters.

I am curious as to how or why the PR strategists at 10 Downing Street manage to connect those two pieces of information into a strategy that dictates Gordon Brown telephones the Priory to enquire of the health of Susan Boyle, or go onto This Morning to tell us that he is backing Stacey Solomon to win this round.
