“There is happy news that
Prince Albert II and his South African wife Princess Charlene are expecting
their first child”
“It must come with enormous
relief to them. The camera does not lie”
“The pictures that have been
taken of Monaco’s reining Prince and Princess have shown great sadness in their
eyes”
“Even when they have been out
celebrating and on occasions where happiness was supposed to be the ingredient
there…”
“…the sadness was still there
in their eyes”
“As with all things in life
when one appears to have it all, it is often found that sadness and heartache
are at the root of many problems”
“They chose to hide it from
the general public, but the camera never lies and the eyes are the windows to
the soul and show up everything”
“We hope that this bundle of
joy brings to them the happiness they so much need”
“As with everything in life
where one can buy almost anything, babies are truly gifts from God and one is
so blessed to have them”
“Let us hope that this child
can restore balance to two people whose sadness appears deep indeed”

“Yet again there are horrors of
India and its caste system”
“There is outrage over police
inaction in a village in India, where two teenage girls were gang raped and
then hanged from a tree”
“The father of one of the
victims stated that he was ridiculed by policemen when he sought help in
finding his missing daughter”
“He was asked what caste he
was and, when he told the police, they ‘refused
to look for the girl’”
“At least three men,
including one policeman, have been arrested in connection with the incident”
“The victims’ families have
complained that police had refused to help find the missing girls aged 14 and
16”
“Violence is often used by
upper castes to assert power and instil fear in the lower castes”
“It has been learned that
instead of the police helping the father to look for his missing daughter…”
“…the police in fact helped
the accused, as both were of the same caste grouping”
“It is well known that police
discriminate against people from lower castes”
“Now the police have
suspended some constables, but things will not change as they too will
discriminate”
“It is time for India to
stand up for the gross inequality of its people”
“Justice is seen to be given
to the upper castes, but totally ignored to the lower castes”
“If India wishes to be
acknowledged in the world around them, then they need to get their justice
systems working for the entire nation”
“In case India has forgotten,
we, as humans, are made out of the love from the Great Creator and all are
equal in his eyes”
“Why should India think they
can be above God!”

“Ladies from the Lib Dems,
who have claimed they were sexually harassed by Lib Dem strategist Lord
Rennard…”
“…said he should be expelled
from the party”
“It now follows an apology in
which Lord Rennard, who denies sexual harassment, has however…”
“…expressed regret for
inadvertent intrusion on personal space”
“The Lib Dems want him back
as he is a good strategist and the party is failing badly now in the polls”
“The idea of his continuous
indecent behaviour towards ladies is of course secondary in all this. Politics
and votes matter, ladies do not!”
“All the abused ladies have
stated that Lord Rennard should be expelled from the party”
“His case is being considered
by the party. At present Lord Rennard is suspended from the House of Lords.”
“It is another headache for
Nick Clegg and will divide opinion, just when the party needs to unite if they
are to win back some support”
“If the party wants to make a
point that they are in fact decent and honourable, then they should expel Lord
Rennard”
“They must prove to the
general public that they stand for law and order and decency towards all people”
“Lord Rennard’s actions have
been going on for years and nothing was said about it”
“All turned a blind eye,
because of his power and influence within the party and because it suited them”
“He has the power to make a
person’s career or destroy it”
“Is this the type of person
the Lib Dems want in their party?”
“Is it now time that the Lib
Dems turned over a new leaf and brought in decent people to run for office?”
“We are also reminded of the
late Cyril Smith, who abused several boys in his own constituency of Rochdale”
“Nothing was done about it
and there was a complete cover up”
“Not forgetting the leader in
1970 by the name of Jeremy Thorpe, who had to resign due to sex scandals at
that time”
“It seems to be that the Lib
Dems are a Party of Misfits and should they be in power?”
“Are they a good
representative of the general public?”
“Should they not get their
own house in order first before they start thinking of being in power?”
“It is time that a complete
clean out of these Misfits was strongly taken into consideration…”
“…if they wish the general
public to have any faith in their ability to rule!”

“Man’s inhumanity to women
continues around the world – a Pakistani woman was stoned to death in broad
daylight outside a Lahore court”
“Farzana Parveen, who was
three months pregnant, was killed by her family simply because she married the
man she loved”
“Her husband said, “We were shouting for help and nobody
listened. The police stood by and did nothing to stop the attack””
“Farzana Parveen’s parents
had accused her husband of kidnapping her and filed a case against him in the
High Court”
“Farzana Parveen testified to
the police that she had married her husband of her own free will”
“Meanwhile her relatives were
waiting and tried to take her away; as she struggled to get free they dragged
her to the floor”
“They pelted her with bricks
and then smashed her head in. She died
on the pavement with nobody trying to help her or prevent it happening”
“Farzana Parveen’s father
later surrendered to the police, but other relatives who took part in the attack
are still free”
“The Human Rights Commission
of Pakistan says 869 women were known to be murdered in ‘honour killings’ in
the country last year”
“The true figure is believed
to be higher”
“The barbaric belief system
of these clans has no justification in today’s modern world”
“Until the laws are changed
in Pakistan and India then no women are safe”
“Women remain as chattels to
be bought and sold as their families wish”
“So many women escape, both
in Pakistan and India, from these arrange marriages”
“They cannot abide to be
forced to marry someone they do not love”
“It is seen as a financial
incentive to the families who arrange it – consideration for the woman is never
mentioned”

“Yet another case of Man’s
inhumanity to women continuing around the world”
“A man has been sentenced to
four years in jail in Niger, which is the first ever conviction for slavery in
the country”
“The pressure group
Anti-Slavery International has said a 63 year old man was convicted of having
what is known as a ‘fifth wife’”
“Men in Niger are allowed
four wives under the local interpretation of Islamic law”
“With a ‘fifth wife’, no
marriage takes place and the women are treated solely as property”
“Niger officially banned
slavery in 2003, but anti-slavery organisations say thousands of people still
live in subjugation”
“Anti-Slavery International
says ‘fifth wives’ are often girls of slave decent sold to wealthy men”
“These men view the purchase
of young women as a sign of prestige”
“The women face a lifetime of
physical and psychological abuse and forced labour”
“This case has been brought
to the court by the Anti-Slavery’s partners in Niger”
“Anti-Slavery International
said it was incredible to achieve a conviction”
“It’s been 10 years since the
law against slavery was passed in Niger & they have worked since to bring
perpetrators of slavery to justice”
“This judgement will serve as
a catalyst for more prosecutions as they are bringing many other cases before
the courts”
“In a landmark case in 2008,
the West African regional body Ecowas, found Niger’s Government guilty of
failing to protect women from slavery”
“The Government was ordered
to pay compensation to the victim”
“These charities do outstanding
work against all the odds & will continue to succeed against the horrors of
slavery committed against women”
“The world over now must
address these issues and all who go against common decency for women”
“Where women are disrespected
and abused all will see that the law is catching up with their abusers”
“The rights for women will be
imposed until the message has got home”
“Men no longer have the right
to do as they please and women’s rights, to live in peace and without fear, are
equal to men’s”
“Women are no longer the
chattels of men and their families. They are equal under the law, both in God’s
Law and Mankind’s”

“At last the new Government
in India is beginning to show the people that their intentions for right
behaviour are being administered”
“There will be a special task
force to find the illicit money or ‘black money’ as it is called”
“It is cash that has not been
declared or taxed and is mostly deposited in foreign banks”
“According to some estimates
there is as much as $500bn deposited in overseas tax havens as black money”
“To stop this happening the
country’s central bank announced the withdrawal of all currency notes printed
prior to 2005 from circulation”
“A retired Supreme Court
judge MB Shah will lead this inquiry”
“Unearthing black money is an
important issue for the new Government”
“It’s been stated that
illegal funds were often sent to tax havens like Mauritius, Switzerland,
Lichtenstein & the British Virgin Islands”
“These illegal transfers of
money have played a large issue regarding the widening of inequality in India”
“The former Congress Party’s
Government had been on the back foot regarding black money and corruption”
“The Supreme Court has also
chided them for not doing enough to unearth this illicit money”
“Now, with the new
Government, matters are being taken in hand and it will bring a new lease of
life for the people of India”
“With corruption a way of
life, it is time that India’s Government started to bring in a fairer, more
just, society”
“The people are owed this at
least”
“All who have been found
wanting regarding black money will see their assets not only squeezed but
confiscated”
“Many will be on the run to
avoid prosecution, which will be the next step in this saga”
“No one is above the law and
that means politicians who favoured black money”
“They are responsible for
their own avoidance of tax from their own people”
“Their days are now numbered.
An open fairer society can come about, as the people are demanding it by their
votes”
“The Congress Party had let
them down and so they are now out into the wilderness”
“They will have some hard
lessons to learn and not before time”

any headway regarding the violation of children by Catholic priests, he needs
to do something quickly”
“There is plenty of evidence
now and more is still to come out”
“It is no longer a question
of keeping the lid on it anymore. The boil needs to be burst and the extraneous
puss removed once and for all”
“To satisfy the public at
large of these horrific crimes against humanity in the sanctity of the Church
and its holy orders…”
“…the guilty must be punished
and named. Their removal from the establishment must be swift and decisive”
“All those bishops, who have
shielded these perpetrators, also need to be removed as they carry the guilt
through their knowledge”
“They are therefore complicit
to these crimes. They can no longer hide behind the Church’s secrecy laws”
“The Church, which has lost
all sense of credibility, can no longer take the moral high ground”
“They acting in a laissez faire manner to protect its own
skins”

congregations around the world”

Francis is able to bring about a peaceful transition to the Palestine/Israeli
dispute?”
“It is doubtful, but one
should never give up hope”
“It was to be President
Obama’s destiny to bring about this peaceful situation with its two-state
solution. He had not got the guts to do it”
“President Barack Obama has
failed his destiny!”
“The two-state solution is an
agenda that cannot be politically achieved anymore”

arbitrator who has no axe to grind with any allegiance to either side”

must be implemented to bring about peace, where it is so badly needed”

which he performed and saved that soul from torment”
“Perhaps Pope Francis is now
guided again to oust out the demons that prevent a safe and peaceful solution
to the Palestine crisis?”

hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay”
“One of the prisoners on
hunger strike, it is now known, will die if not fed”
“The lawyer for the detainee

“It’s also extremely painful
with detainees being strapped down while a tube is forced into their noses in
order for food to be passed down”

the ban temporarily, said she is left with an impossible choice”
“Either to continue with her
ban and risk the death of the detainee or allow for the force-feeding, which gives
great pain and suffering”

the view that they will not allow the detainees in their charge to commit
suicide”

hope any longer”
“President Obama in his
promise to the Nation when he became President, was to disband Guantanamo”

“A new slant on journalism as
an online newspaper is about to be born in Cuba”
“Cuba’s best known dissident
blogger, Yoani Sanchez, is launching her daily news about the communist-run
country”
“Its aim is to provide
essential information to Cubans”
“The paper will be produced
in Cuba and will not have a print version”
“The Cuban media, which
include the country’s three national newspapers, are all under strict state
control”
“President Raul Castro has
eased restrictions on dissidents in recent years”
“He has allowed opponents of
the Government, which includes Mrs Sanchez, to travel abroad”
“Mrs Sanchez wants to tell
the Cuban story from inside Cuba and to broaden the public’s outlook”
“She is keen to stress that
she will avoid any trouble with the authorities by remaining an online-only
publication”
“The Government is becoming
less anxious about their safety and wants to expand the world experience”
“This will be a good start
into allowing the Cuban people a greater form of expression”
“Healthy journalism, where
the Government can be criticized with useful powerful views, is to be welcomed”
“It is not seen as inflicting
wounds on a Government”
“Governments, who exclusively
rely on the yes voters and who encourage sycophants all the time, cannot produce
healthy Government policies”
“This is especially so when
there is no opposition”
“It only creates a climate of
fear, anger and rebellion”
“A strong Government can
always take healthy criticism and thrive”
“In time this online paper
might be able to pave the gentle way forward for this to happen?”

“The Swiss banking giant Credit
Suisse has pleaded guilty to helping some US clients avoid paying taxes to the
US Government”
“They have agreed to pay
$2.6bn fine”
“It is the biggest bank to
plead guilty to criminal charges in the US in more than 20 years”
“This bank has helped US
citizens to cheat on their tax obligations”
“Of course Credit Suisse says
they regret their past misconduct. This is because they have finally been found
out”
“It has been previously
predicted that other banks besides UBS would fall regarding outrageous banking
practices”
“Credit Suisse is the latest
and there will be more that will get found out”
“The noose around these
banks’ necks is tightening and for every loophole there will be another
legislation to keep them in their place”
“What is outrageous is that
these banks, because of the power they control, are still trading”
“This is what is unacceptable
to the public at large”
“They all feel they are above
the Law and so their arrogance continues to grow as they think they can
continually get away with it”
“Credit Suisse went to
elaborate lengths to shield itself, its employees and the tax cheats they
served”
“They held no accountability
for their criminal actions”
“They subverted disclosure
requirements, destroyed banking records and concealed transactions involving
undeclared accounts”
“Credit Suisse limited
withdrawal amounts and using offshore credit and debit cards to repatriate
funds”
“The US Attorney General
stated that the tax evasion schemes went back decades and in one case began more
than 100 years ago”
“What is shameful is that
neither the chairman nor the chief executive will lose their jobs as an
agreement was made with the US authorities”
“Credit Suisse is not alone,
as US prosecutors are chasing now more than a dozen other Swiss banks”
“Credit Suisse have been
helping wealthy American clients dodge US taxes”
“There is now no such thing
as a bank that is too big to jail”
“That is the chilling thought
that they are no longer above the Law as their power thought they would be”
“Another corrupt individual
is President Zuma, who is being asked to repay some $23m for upgrades to his
home in South Africa”
“His pretext is that he
needed protection on his home”
“Tax payer’s money has been
spent on a swimming pool, a cattle enclosure & a chicken run, which do not
constitute security or protection”
“The Public Protector’s
report state these upgrades are irrational, contradictory and are informed by
material errors of law”
“Public Proctor, Thuli
Madonsela responded that no court of law will find in the minister’s favour”
“There has been corruption
charges also laid against Mr Zuma over the use of taxpayers’ money”
“As with all those again who
think they are above the law, their fate is sealed”
“They will be made to pay and
will lose all credibility within their own country and abroad”

by Switzerland are to bring Syria before the International Criminal Court”

expressed support for the French proposal against the Syrian Government of
crimes against humanity & war crimes”
“Recently graphic photographs
of prisoners, who were tortured by the Syrian Government, have been smuggled
out by a defector”
“The abuse showed evidence of
beatings, strangulation and long-term starvation”
“United Nations Security
Council & the wider membership are now acting for justice &
accountability for victims of the conflict in Syria”
“Besides the systemic torture
of civilians, which is well-known, there are also the chemical attacks and the
use of barrel bombs”
“These are barrels, which are
packed with explosives”
“More than 150,000 people
have been killed and millions forced to flee their homes”
“In spite of any Russian and
Chinese vetoes, these crimes will be investigated”
“The impetus from the
international community starts to gather momentum”
“A new policy, where the veto
will no longer be applicable, is being mounted so that justice for the innocent
can finally be realised”
“Bashar al-Assad will have
nowhere on this earth to hide”
“His crimes and the blood of
his people are forever indelibly stained on his hands and his mind”
“There will be no resting
place for him. A single bullet will take him out and he will never know from
where it will come from”
“Fear he has none at this
time, but, as his time comes for him to pass from this world, he will be
stricken with much fear!”
“Another crime against
humanity has been foiled. A US cyber-thief, who stole credit cards, has been
jailed for 20 years”
“Initially sentenced to seven
years in jail, he was found guilty of breaking US racketeering laws and so his
sentence has been increased”
“A fine of $20m has been
ordered”
“The man in question is
Camez, who is a member of a vast criminal organisation that facilitated rampant
cyber fraud throughout the world”
“The US Department of Justice
has stated that the jail sentence is the longest ever handed out to a computer
criminal”
“Camez and his
co-conspirators used stolen payments cards and identities”
“They carried out the card
crime that caused about $50m in losses for many different card firms”
“David Ray Camez, with 39
other people, has been charged”
“Of those 21 are also
expected to face 20 years in jail for racketeering after pleading guilty”
“The misery that these
racketeers inflict on innocent people is something they will never comprehend
as their minds do not work like that”
“Greed is all that drives
them in their sick world”
“Unfortunately, with their
mental attitude, they cannot be reformed”
“Once out, they will peddle
their destructive ways again”
“It is almost as if it is in
their DNA, which is frightening for the rest of us in this world”

keep bringing them down until they are finally broken by their own hand”

a proper adjustment is maintained that will support a common ground”

putting the Kremlin in an awkward place”

has rejected an improved final takeover offer from the US drugs giant Pfizer”
“If the AstraZeneca
shareholders succumb to the money, as being their prime objective to allow
Pfizer to dominate and take over…”
“…then they will lose hands
down. All that they will gain with the one hand, they will lose with the other”
“Pfizer’s prime objective is
profits for them & power over anything decent that AstraZeneca is already
doing & more importantly achieving”
“It is high time that
shareholders started to take personal responsibility for their company”
“AstraZeneca has fought on
blood, sweat and tears to survive and to grow to the great company we now have
today”
“With Pfizer in the driving
seat, all that good will and achievement will be lost along with certain high
profiled jobs”
“AstraZeneca is a great and
forward thinking company and to be just brushed aside, as if it is nothing but
a fledgling, is an utter disgrace”
“AstraZeneca is a leading
brand in vital research”
“One has to think of the
Greater Good and not allow Pfizer to demolish a structure that has taken years
to build up”
“In England we will regret it
and so will the shareholders in the long run”
“Shares might rise, but will
ultimately plummet as confidence in their ability to achieve and stride
forwards automatically erodes”
“Listen to the board members’
advice and understand how they value their company and where their protective
influence should be noted”
“This company is too valuable
to be destroyed and that is exactly what will happen when Pfizer gets their
hands on it”
“Be warned and be guided”
“Money must take second place
to the good will and ground-breaking research that AstraZeneca will always
bring to the table”

administration comes into effect, it will need to be overseen so that there is
no abuse of power”
“It has to be done by the
letter of the law”
“This new country needs now
to repair and heal”
“They need to bring in a
thought for their own people, whose lives have been wrecked by the corruption
of power”

“A corruption trial in Munich
with a German banker and Bernie Ecclestone is taking place”
“The German banker alleges
that he was bribed by Ecclestone to secure the sale of a stake in the F1 business
to a company he favoured”
“Ecclestone admits paying the
banker this sum of money, but states he was blackmailed by the banker into
doing it”
“The banker is currently
serving eight and half years in prison for receiving this payment. He in effect
has nothing more to lose”
“Ecclestone, who has pleaded
not guilty, would face a maximum prison sentence of ten years if found guilty”
“It is alleged that the
banker threatened to reveal false details about Ecclestone’s tax affairs, which
are suspect anyway”
“Persecutors say Ecclestone
has never been able to give firm details to back up his statement”
“They also state that by
securing the sale of the stake in F1 to a company of Ecclestone’s choice…”
“…he was then able to access
its commercial rights, broadcast payments and sponsorship deals, which run into
billions”
“HMRC have been trying to
obtain taxes from Ecclestone over a nine year period of investigation and had
to settle for a paltry sum”
“He has everything sewn up
with his wife and a trust that has been formed. He is a most slippery eel”
“For the courts to finally
get a man, who believes he is above the law, will be a triumph for both the law
and justice!”
“Rolf Harris has been found
guilty of grooming a friend of his daughter from the age of thirteen”
“The entertainer denies twelve
counts of indecently assaulting her and three other girls from 1968-86”
“One girl turned to alcohol
to cope with the abuse”
“The prosecution has told the
court, “Harris is a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’
character whose reputation had made him untouchable””
“His other victims were aged
between seven or eight and nineteen, twelve counts were carried out on the
victim of his daughter’s friend”
“Harris states, “I knew I did wrong but we are all fallible
and oh how did I delude myself?””
“All the victims are in a
very bad way”
“The prosecutor, Sasha Wass,
states that his fame meant no one suspected or challenged his behaviour”
“He has a tendency to touch
up females as if he was entitled to”
“Harris was too famous, too powerful
and his reputation made him untouchable”
“It is high time that the
media especially, wake up to this appalling behaviour by their powerful
celebrity personalities”
“A greater scrutiny needs to
be adopted and there requires greater legislation and protection for victims”
“Help is needed for the
victims to come forwards against their abusers, who can at last face the full
impact of the law”
“In 2005, Rolf Harris painted
a portrait of the Queen”
“Should this portrait be
given any kind of accolade by a predatory paedophile, I don’t think so?”

“German Nazi-era art hoarder
Cornelius Gurlitt, who died on Tuesday, has made the Bern Art Museum in
Switzerland his ‘sole heir’”
“He is the son of Adolf
Hitler’s art dealer and he had amassed a collection worth up to a billion euros”
“The museum said the news had
struck ‘like a bolt from the blue’, as they had no relationship with Mr Gurlitt”
“The art collection has been the
subject of a long legal dispute over the works that may have been taken
illegally by the Nazis”
“The Bern Art Museum said it
was delighted at the news that they had become the unrestricted and unfettered
sole heir”
“Mr Gurlitt’s father
Hildebrand Gurlitt was ordered to deal in works of art that had been seized
from the Jews”
“He also dealt with art that
had been removed from German museums”
“The priceless collection had
been confiscated by the Bavarian authorities from the son’s apartment in 2012”
“The Bern Art Museum now gets
ownership of the collection through the lawyers of Cornelius Gurlitt”
“They indicate that the
paintings shown to be looted should return to present day heirs of the victims
– an arrangement that still stands”
“There will be no argument
over the works of art acquired by Mr Gurlitt’s father before the Nazi’s came to
power, so they can go to Bern”
“For those paintings which
are in dispute, the authorities give potential claimants a year to come forward”
“This will at last be justice
for those who legally owned these works of art and who can now rightfully claim
them”
“It will also allow for the
rest of the art collection to be viewed again and appreciated by the public in
a very prestigious art museum”
“Justice sometimes takes time
to come in”
“What may at times seem like
an eternity and all appears lost, then turns around and the right thing is done”
“Justice on so many levels is
now finally being dealt with by the Higher Intelligence and where at last peace
of mind is received”

the world will significantly impact on the nutrient content of crops around the
world”
“Experiments show levels of
zinc, iron and protein are likely to be reduced by up to 10% in wheat and rice
by 2050”
“This would have serious
health implications for billions of people, especially in the developing world”
“Now an international team
has put together a global analysis based on experiments in Japan, Australia and
the US”
“They’ve grown 41 different
varieties of grains & legumes in open fields with levels of carbon dioxide
expected in the middle of this century”
“The trials have found that
the reduction of iron, zinc and protein in rice and wheat will have major
health implications”
“A third of the global
populations are already suffering from iron and zinc shortages”
“This leads to some 63
million life years being lost annually”
“It is known that 2bn people
already get 70% of their iron and zinc from these grains and legumes”
“So with crops reducing in
nutrients, this will make for alarming deficiencies”
“What the scientists are now
looking at is a breeding programme to produce rice that becomes less sensitive
to CO2”
“The impact of carbon on
nutrient levels is another blow to global food production”
“Due to the rising
temperatures globally, crop yields are already suffering”
“This means that the production
of maize, wheat and rice will go down over the course of this century”
“We owe it to our children
and their children after them. Global
warming needs to be our first priority”
“We must save people – not
only now, but in the future”
“We can no longer place our
heads in the sand and ignore it”

“A team of US experts has
been sent to Nigeria to help find more than 200 schoolgirls”
“They were abducted last
month by the Islamist militant Boko Haram”
“President Obama has said the
team comprised of personnel from the military, law enforcement and other
agencies that are needed”
“He also hopes that this
action to find the schoolgirls will help galvanise the international community
to take action against Boko Haram”
“The Nigerian Government have
been negligent in their handling of this affair”
“They have been doing
virtually nothing to look for the missing schoolgirls, causing outrage by the
people of Nigeria”
“It is well known that some
in the Government are sympathetic to this terrorist organisation and that is
why so little has been done”
“The situation has caused
International outrage and has now led to the US offering support to the
Nigerian Government”
“Governments must be held
accountable for their crimes. It leads
to the suffering of so many of their people”
“Until then nothing in this
world will ever change and the innocent will continue to suffer”
“Boko Haram has left
thousands dead since 2009 and again very little has been done to quash this
terrorist organisation”
“There now needs to be a
concerted effort by the Nigerian Government with US assistance to bring about a
result”
“Anything other than a credible
solution will find the Nigerian Government’s ability to function as worthless
and not fit to rule”
“Eventually they will bring
about their own downfall and perhaps not before time”
“In order to rule one must
abide by the Rule of Law and bring about decency and honesty to a country for
all to benefit”
“It is because the Nigerian
Government is weak that Boko Haram has the foothold in this country in the
first place”

a wonderful thing”
“At last the corrupt Prime
Minister of Thailand has been ruled that she abused her position of power”
“The courts have ruled that
she must now step down”
“The Constitutional Court
ruled that Ms Yingluck acted illegally when she transferred her national
security head”
“The court has also ruled
that some of her cabinet ministers involved in the transfer must also step down”
“The Prime Minister’s status
has ended. She can no longer stay in her position acting as caretaker Prime
Minister”
“These corrupt Governments
think they are untouchable”
“They think they can get away
with impunity with regards to their actions of governing”
“Like Al Capone, the American
gangster, who thought he could get away forever with his horrendous crimes
against humanity and the state”
“It is always the simple
little things that bring an egotistical person down”
“Matters which they feel are
irrelevant in the scheme of how they work and survive”
“With Al Capone it was tax
evasion and not the smuggling and other illegal activities that finally ended
his reign”
“He was found guilty and
incarcerated in 1931”
“As for Thailand, it will
leave them temporarily in a political vacuum”
“But even this will be filled
with better people, who have their people primarily at heart”

people suffering from asthma are dying unnecessarily”
“It is because of the
complacency among both medical staff and patients”
“The NHS again are falling
behind in not treating adequately asthma suffers”
“In 83% of those asthma
suffers who died, it was stated that there was room for improvement”
“Deficiencies were found in
both routine care and in the treatment of attacks”
“In the UK there are now 5.5
million people, who are being treated for the condition and the figures are
rising”
“On average three people a
day die from asthma”
“At least 75% of hospital
admissions for asthma are avoidable and 90% of deaths are preventable”
“Children suffer the worst
with one in eleven children suffering, where there are smokers in the house”
“This affects the child
considerably”
“A child in Gosport died aged
12 years old. She had been suffering from asthma since the age of two years”
“She died in a hospice after
falling into a coma when she had an attack, which stopped her breathing for 15
minutes”
“The month before her death
her mother had visited the local GP and said her daughter’s asthma was getting
worse”
“She requested her daughter
saw an asthma consultant”
“She was refused on the
grounds that the doctor did not think the child’s condition was bad enough”
“This is not an isolated case
and it is up to parents to fight for their children until something is done”
“GPs are not qualified enough
to give their assessment”
“Patients sometimes need to
go to hospital, where treatment can be assessed and administered”
“Certainly the child would
have been kept in under observation and her condition assessed”
“This is something GPs are
not in a position to do”
“The NHS has grown too big
and it is failing its patients in so many different ways”
“There will come a time soon
when the entire organisation will need to be split into two camps”
“Then severe or acute cases
can be dealt with and non-severe cases can be dealt with in another portion of
the health system”
“The NHS is unable to work
any longer as a whole unit”
“There are too many problems
where medical staff is overloaded with the increasing amount of illnesses
presented”
“There should be more clinics
where non-surgical cases can be seen more quickly and remedies administered”

rapidly if it is to keep up with modern day illnesses and where at this time it
is failing its people”

Prime Minister now hangs in the balance”

“The people are after an
unelected ‘People’s Council’, which they feel will allow for stability in the
governing in Thailand”
“They want a land where
corrupt politicians do not get a look in anymore”
“The Prime Minister is also
facing several legal challenges”
“Earlier this year, a
different court ruled that she had improperly transferred her National Security
Chief. She openly criticised him”
“He has since been
reinstated. A court is to decide whether he had been unconstitutionally
transferred”
“The people of Thailand are
very concerned that their democracy has been corrupted by money”
“Voters are bought and paid
for so that their politicians can remain in power while the country continues
to go downhill”
“Corruption is a worldwide
epidemic, where those in power seek to control and hold onto what is always
right for them”
“As with all corruption, it
is the man in the street that has to suffer”
“Goodness and decency are no
longer a fact of life”
“The majority of people no
longer believe they can be saved or that there are actually decent people out
there who care”
“The tide of complacency,
where the corrupt have gotten away with it for decades, is now turning”
“By their very controlling
schemes, they have successfully brought many countries to their knees”
“The public now are fighting
back”
“They are pleading that
decency is a part of normal life and where doing the right thing is what life
is all about”
“Corruption on every level is
now being challenged and more and more courts are springing up to deal with
this global crisis”

away with it and the Superior Intelligence is now turning the tide”

“She also made the third round
of Wimbledon in 2002 and was part of Great Britain’s Fed Cup team for 11 years”
“There have been many moving
tributes made to Elena from her team mates and other tennis legends”
“One theme seems to be
consistent throughout and they are ‘Sweet
dreams Bally’ or ‘Rest in Peace’”
“It is so sad that the
outside world is so naïve with what happens to an individual soul once they
depart this world”
“Hardly anybody in the
western world takes it upon themselves to actually find out”
“It is so sad, as they are
never able to come to terms with grief as they should be able to do”

of courage and conviction will enhance others to continue their fight against
this disease”

expected of her”

resides”
“She is able to help others
on earth to combat their own fears and weaknesses”

of strength and knowledge and is no longer limited by the heavy earthly
conditions”
“She is both free and
liberated. She is in the best place that is now right for her to enjoy”

Egyptian”
“He is also the Cairo Bureau
Chief for Al-Jazeera English”

battle for free speech since being detained last December”

which was smuggled out of prison, Fahmy thanked the judges for this award”
“He has donated his prize
money worth £1,100 to the family of an Egyptian journalist”
“This man was shot dead in
unexplained circumstances at a protest last month”
“All the journalists, which
further includes Baher Mohamed, Peter Greste and Abdullah Eishamy, say the
charges against them are absurd”
“The prosecution’s evidence
does not appear to include any evidence of abetting terrorism or fabricated
footage”
“Instead, what it does
contain are video pictures of trotting horses, sheep farms and interviews”
“These interviews are with
figures on all sides of Egypt’s political spectrum”

“The Egyptian judiciary is
showing the world how not to behave where justice does not exist, but
tyrannical practice does”
“Egypt is being looked at by
the world as a failed state where the Rule of Law is a complete farce”
“Innocent people are put in
jail just because they can be and not because it is right to do so!”

its people suffer daily from the aggression of the army”

people tried to overrule with democratic elections”

which do not serve their purpose”

“We can actually give
ourselves permission to take a step back and rest, so that our bodies can catch
up with our minds”
“If we let it, life can
consume us and we find we are only on the treadmill of life and not living life
as we should”
“It is high time we started
being good to ourselves and started to understand we are not robotic”
“That time out is essential
to recharge our batteries, so that we are able to achieve again on other days”
“All of us need that mental
break, so the physical is able to catch up and heal where necessary”
“We owe it to ourselves to
love ourselves and to know we are all worth it – for tomorrow is another day”
“Cherish what you do, but
never lose sight of rest and recuperation”
“It is a vital cog to our
survival if we are to continue achieving in our own life”

“Many of us rush around each
day to see how much we can fit in in a given time and wonder why we feel so
exhausted and unwell”
“We often hear the words ‘I am shattered’ or ‘I’m so exhausted, I don’t know what to do
with myself.’”
“We must now start to realise
that although the world works at such a fast pace we don’t necessarily need to
meet those demands all the time”

“Actor George Clooney has
ended his role as a United Nations ‘Messenger of Peace’ after six years of
extensive work”
“Over this period of time he
has used his position to help raise awareness of conflicts in countries like
Sudan and the DRC”
“Equally he has been very
active in raising attention to the crisis in Darfur, Western Sudan, which had
suffered Civil War in 2003”
“Also there was a massive
famine that claimed 2 million deaths”
“George Clooney helped to
raise awareness and finances to assist these poverty stricken people”
“Clooney did so especially
where the Government was in disarray and the people had absolutely nothing”
“As well as his UN role, he
joined his fellow actors including Matt Damon and Brad Pitt to form the charity
‘Not On Our Watch’”
“It aims to bring global
attention to international crises and give a voice to their victims”
“Clooney has close ties to a
campaign group ‘The Enough Project’ and has helped found the ‘Satellite
Sentinel Project’”
“This uses spy satellites to
track human rights abuses and atrocities in Sudan”
“The UN says its ‘Messengers
of Peace’ are high profiled people, who raise awareness of the organisation’s
work around the world”
“The competing demands on
their time from their professional and advocacy lives make it difficult”
“However these high profiled
individuals do carry out a formal UN role”
“Now that George Clooney is
going independent, it allows him to pursue other personal advocacy projects and
activities”
“In the case with Brad Pitt, it
was his finances that were able to help build necessary homes in New Orleans”
“Hurricane Katrina had
devastated the town leaving many homeless”
“His charity, ‘Make It Right
Foundation’ a non-profit organisation, was responsible for constructing 100 homes
in New Orleans”
“As an individual using his
own money, Brad Pitt did more and took more interest than the Bush Government
of the day”
“Other high profiled
‘Messengers of Peace’ include actors Michael Douglas and Charlize Theron with
musicians Lang Lang and Stevie Wonder”
“This world needs more
prominent people like them, who have a heart and who care about the people of
this world”
“They are driven by a will to
do what is right for this world and are able to bypass many aspects of red tape”
“They are in charge and hold
that position, so that good works can continue under their stewardship”
“God Bless them all!”
