Yialousa, I am a person of the World; it is just I see no point in Forumers forever posting meaningless negative threads whatever the topic; what does it achieve? It fails to inform, it fails to interest - it morphs into propoganda - and I have seen enough of that in my own country!

If you want a happy life, time for you move from the wretched UK and move to Cyprus and then you can tell us how wonderful Cyprus is

Lana, you should just ignore Yialoser, you make him so happy when he gets your attention!

Yes, if he posts again, I will publicise his secret occupation at the Olympic Games.....

Major pensions inequality exposed in UK



Directors of British companies are eating into the pensions of their staff to make room for increasingly more sizeable pension pots of more than 20 times those of their employees for themselves.


Britain’s umbrella unions’ group Trades Union Congress said in its annual PensionsWatch report that the average pension for 351 directors from the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 major companies is currently 24.4 times more than the average pension for ordinary workers.

Based on the research, the directors gain an average pension of at least £240,000 a year while the figure is £9,828 for occupational pension.

The TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said the pension gap is scandalous.

“Companies continue to chip away at the pensions of ordinary workers while awarding their directors solid platinum pensions worth hundreds of thousands of pounds a year,” Barber said.

“Top executives already enjoy huge pay packages that go up every year irrespective of the success of their company or the state of the economy. These salaries alone guarantee lucrative pensions so the generous packages uncovered are an insult to the vast majority of workers who are denied such favorable terms,” he added.

The PensionsWatch found that directors at Britain’s largest companies have raised their retirement savings by an average £400,000 to £4.3 million.

The report also said that the chief executive of gas company BG Group, Sir Frank Chapman, is leading the pension pots with a saving of £19.4 million that puts him on an annual retirement income of £1 million a year.

Alan Davies faces being sued by Lord McAlpine after naming him as a paedophile on Twitter

Jonathan Creek star among thousands that could be sued in what is thought to involve the largest number of defendants in British legal history
Lord McAlpine's lawyers have found 1,000 original tweets and 9,000 retweets
Former Countryfile presenter accuses BBC of being out of touch with public

Jonathan Creek star Alan Davies could be sued by Lord McAlpine after posting a Twitter comment mentioning false child abuse allegations about the Tory peer.

He is among thousands of Twitter users who could face legal action, including the Speaker's wife Sally Bercow, in what lawyers said could potentially involve the largest number of defendants in British legal history.


Lord McAlpine announced last week that he is taking landmark legal action against internet gossips who falsely branded him a paedophile after BBC's Newsnight broadcast the wrong claims.


Lawyers for the Tory peer warned Twitter users ‘we know who you are’ and urged them to come forward voluntarily or face being pursued through the courts.


His action is intended to stop so-called ‘trial by Twitter’ and, if successful, could radically change the way the internet is policed and make those using social networks more directly accountable for defamatory comments.


He has agreed a £185,000 compensation settlement with the BBC – funded by licence-payers - for the botched broadcast.

His lawyers have hired a team of experts to collate the offending Twitter messages, including those that have been deleted and 'retweets', which is when a user republishes a message posted by someone else.

They are reported to have found 1,000 'original' tweets and a further 9,000 retweets.


One of those is Davies, 46, according to the Sunday Times today.

Sally Bercow in more trouble for branding Lord McAlpine's lawyers 'big bullies after they threatened to sue her for tweet that falsely identified peer as paedophile


Davies, who appears on BBC2 panel show QI, asked his 440,000 followers on Twitter: 'Any clues as to who this Tory paedophile is...?

The message was retweeted 12 times and 'favourited' six times by his followers. He then retweeted a response from a user called ToniKZ naming Lord McAlpine.

About 40 people have approached the peer's legal team to apologise, it was reported.

His lawyers plan to make each of them pay a nominal amount, possibly as little as £5 each, and will donate the money to a prominent children's charity.

Sally Bercow, the wife of the Speaker of the Commons, and George Monbiot, a columnist for the Guardian are also among those who could be pursued by Lord McAlpine for tweeting his name.

Mrs Bercow apologised to the Tory peer after she wrote to her 59,000 followers on November 4: 'Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *innocent face*'.

She confirmed she had received a letter from the peer's lawyers, and accused them of being 'ambulance chasers' and 'big bullies'.


The tweet, posted at 11.10pm on Friday read: 'Thanks @itvnews. Yes had letter from Lord McA. His lawyers ambulance chasers tbh #bigbullies. My tweet not libellous but...'

But she removed it and the message that remained read: '... I don't have money to contest a multi-millionaire. Lord McA falsely accused but not by me.

Loving my trial by tabloid, mind. I never said Lord McAlpine paedophile – just noted he trending. Nor did I tweet about *that* Newsnight.

This is totally politically motivated, I tell you. And I don't do conspiracy theories as a rule.'

She added: 'Night twitter. off to cuddle up with my lovely husband who takes so much **** (often on my behalf) #poorjohn #topspeaker #greatmanontoast.'

The Sunday Times reported that among those making reference to the false claims included a reporter for Al Jazeera, the television network, a freelance writer for The Guardian, the managing director of a public relations firm and a former barrister.


The newspaper said that the peer was expected to take a tougher line with 'principal tweeters' such as Mrs Bercow.

Meanwhile former Countryfile presenter Miriam O'Reilly has accused the BBC of being out of touch with licence-fee payers.

She wrote in the Sun on Sunday: 'The decision by the chairman of the BBC Trust, Chris Patten, to give the outgoing director-general, George Entwistle, his entire year's salary of £450,000 for just 54 days of work highlights how divorced top BBC management are from the people who fund them.'

Ms O'Reilly, 55, who won an age discrimination case against the BBC last year, claimed the BBC is too management-heavy and needs restructuring.

MY TERROR AT HANDS OF PAEDOS
By Jerry Lawton

THE whistle-blower who exposed the Welsh children’s home sex abuse scandal has cheated death in a suspect car smash ­after his brakes failed.

Police have seized care boss Malcolm King’s motor to see if it was sabotaged.

The car, a regularly-maintained Volvo S60, careered across a busy A-road and was hit side-on by an Alfa Romeo.

Afterwards Mr King, 68, who suffered a broken leg, found his brake pedal unattached and lying on the car floor.

The outspoken former boss of social services in Clwyd, where much of the abuse took place, told the Daily Star yesterday: “I guess I’ve pissed a lot of people off over the years.

“My friends tell me I’m crazy not to be more suspicious about it, but I can’t live my life being ­paranoid.

“If a man could die from paranoia I’d have been dead a long time ago.”

Labour councillor Mr King blew the whistle on a ­paedophile ring ­operating at north Wales children’s homes in the mid-1980s.

It allegedly ­involved shamed TV star Jimmy Savile and other ­celebrities, politicians, police chiefs and judges.

Mr King, a county councillor and former chair of North Wales ­Police ­Authority, was one of only 12 people given copies of the 1996 Jillings Report, which named ­every abuser.

The married dad-of-two’s brake pedal mysteriously failed on the A525 near Ruthin days ­after the ­scandal blew up again two weeks ago.

Mr King said: “I pushed my foot down hard on what I thought was the brake pedal but nothing happened.

“I’ve no idea whether the pedal was attached at this stage or not.

“The car flew across the junction and a car coming from my right smashed into my side.

“If I’d shot across the junction a split-second sooner I’d be dead because it would have hit where I was sitting rather than the bonnet. It doesn’t bear thinking about. My car, which is a write-off, is now in the hands of the crash investigators.

“It’s a good car and I’ve always maintained and serviced it regularly at the best garage in town.

“The police officer at the scene told me they’d examine it very thoroughly. They said they’d go over it with a fine-tooth comb.’’

The Jillings Report was so explosive insurers ordered it to be pulped but a copy has been found in council archives.

Mr King has renewed his campaign for a fresh probe in the wake of revelations about Savile’s depravity.

“I’m someone who speaks his mind,” he said. “If I know something is happening that I don’t like I will always speak out and try to change things.

“I spent a lot of time when the allegations first surfaced being incredibly paranoid.

“I didn’t know who to trust other than family. It was a terrible time.”

A North Wales Police spokesman confirmed officers are investigating the cause of the crash.

Clwyd County Council leader ­Dennis Parry, 64, said the controversial report should be made public.

Pigs blown up, guinea pigs poisoned and marmosets given anthrax: Campaigners expose 'cruel' secret military experiments at Porton Down

Campaign group uncovered details of the 'cruel and grotesque' research projects at the Porton Down labs in Wiltshire
Experiments involved substantial suffering and led to the death of the animals
Pigs were anesthetised, blown up by bombs, then drained of a third of their blood before being resuscitated
Marmosets infected with highly dangerous chemicals

Pigs have been blown up, guinea pigs poisoned and marmosets given anthrax in germ and chemical warfare experiments at the top secret British military research base, it has emerged.


The campaign group that uncovered the details of the 'cruel and grotesque' research projects by scientists at the Porton Down labs in Wiltshire said that in some cases it appeared the animals had been given nothing to ease their pain.


Many of the experiments involved substantial suffering and led to the death of the animals, the British Union for Abolition of Vivisection's investigation found.




The charity's chief executive Michelle Thew said: 'Although supporting the need to ensure the safety of soldiers and civilians in an increasingly dangerous world, the BUAV is opposed to deliberately causing suffering and death to animals in such disturbing and cruel experiments.


'We believe it is totally unacceptable to treat animals in this way.'
The Ministry of Defence, which last week was forced to explain experiments in which pigs are shot for military surgeons to operate on, said animal research is vital if it is to protect Britain and members of the Armed Forces safe.


The BUAV highlighted six pieces of studies published in medical and scientific journals since 2010. Some were funded by, or carried out in collaboration with, US defence agencies.

In one of the most graphic experiments, pigs were blown up by bombs before being resuscitated. The researchers wanted to find out the best way to treat soldiers when there is a delay in evacuating them from the battlefield.



Highly dangerous bacteria and biological weapons were tested on marmosets, like the one pictured above




Many pigs died in the process of testing explosives

The animals were anesthetised and placed on trolleys eight feet away from explosives that were then detonated remotely.


They were then drained of a third of their blood before being resuscitated.


Eleven of the 28 animals died, despite the researchers' efforts.


The researchers later wrote that the information they obtained will be of profound significance when treating wounded soldiers in the field.


Two other pig studies involved the animals being forced to inhale chemical warfare agents, including mustard gas.


In research into anthrax, marmosets were infected with the highly dangerous bacterium which can be used as a biological weapon.


Four died and those that were still alive at the end of the experiment were killed and dissected. The BUAV was unable to find any evidence that monkeys were given any sort of pain relief.


A fifth experiment involved testing a treatment for VX, a nerve agent and chemical weapon that causes fits, breathing difficulties, coma and eventually death.


The poison was applied to the animals' shaved backs before the treatment was injected into their muscles.


Eight died within the first two days and dissection revealed their guts had twisted.


Finally, scientists reaching a vaccine against bubonic plague injected mice with the bug behind the devastating disease.


Dr Katy Taylor, the BUAV's senior scientific advisor, said: 'In addition to the ethical objections of using animals in such severe experiments, it is questionable that this type of research actually saves lives. This is because it is difficult to extrapolate findings from other animals to humans.


'Also, some of these experiments were attempting to replicate some of what we already know from human and other animal studies, which challenges the conviction that the high level of suffering inflicted upon these animals is justified.'


An RSPCA spokesman said: 'Animals too often pay the price of man's inhumanity to man. The military should use and invest in alternative, non-animal training methods.'


The Ministry of Defence's Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) at Porton Down said: 'DSTL is proud of the research undertaken by its staff and believes that the remit to provide safe and effective protective measures for the UK and its Armed Forces could not, currently, be achieved without the use of animals.'


A spokesman added that international collaborations cut the need for the duplication of animal experiments and all work is approved by the Home Office, which also inspects the labs.


'All the research projects that involve
animals are licensed by the Home Office.

As part of the licensing process, the researchers have to convince the Home Office that the work is required, that the results cannot be obtained without the use of animals and that every step has been taken to minimise pain and suffering to the animals involved.'

Perhaps you had better move out of Britain if you are so concerned and live somewhere where such matter are not reported: mind you, it will still be happening where ever you may live , just that it is not reported, as I doubt the proportion of rapists peados and the like is any different in any other population: its just your racism that makes you think the brits are worse.

I'd actually go so far as to say its probably more a sign of a healthy society not a sick one that matters such as sex crimes or corruption reported in the press, as by and large it means things are being or will be done about it: i'd be rather more concerned if they were not written about, since it is rather more likley to mean people are getting away with such crimes.
