			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s very important, that any persons deciding to stay in this country, accept the rules and laws made by the Majority and live by those rules.
<br>
A message must be sent to any who feel they can break our laws and not allow their family that basic freedom and that message is simple.
<br>
You come here to enjoy our freedom and our benefits, therefore if you abuse them you are no longer welcome.

			<description><![CDATA[ <p class="first"><strong>Tea and coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a large body of evidence shows.</strong></p>

<p>And the protection may not be down to caffeine since decaf coffee has the greatest effect, say researchers in Archives of Internal Medicine.</p>

<p>They looked at 18 separate studies involving nearly 500,000 people.</p>

thousands of people. What is it with these unions? Of course, the other airlines have all hoiked their prices up to make the most of it. Bah humbug to the lot

<br>
<br>
When I was growing up in the late 60s &amp; early 70s it was perfectly normal for me and my friends to be out playing until all hours. During school holidays
my parents didn&#39;t see me all day long for most days. I&#39;d hop on my bike and off I&#39;d go, only coming home to eat and sleep. That sort of thing
doesn&#39;t seem to... ]]></description>

returned at night.</p>

<p>But police officers investigating the incidents said there had been no thefts, and instead their enquiries led to the world of pagan ritual.</p>


<p>It is now believed that the practice is a part of white witch &quot;knot magick&quot; that is used when a spell is cast.</p>

help them lose weight. This year some of them have failed the weight loss course which means that they may not be able to graduate. It seems a bit unfair to
me, especially if someone has worked really hard to get their degree but just can&#39;t shift the pounds

of raping a 7-year-old and given community service. 8 days later, he kidnapped and raped another 5-year-old boy. So now he&#39;s been jailed for 3 years. Yes,
you read that right - a minimum of 3 years before he can be considered for parole. After which no doubt the bleeding heart liberals will say that he has been
punished and... ]]></description>

stupid to care for her unborn child. And yet Peter Connelly is left to die at the hands of his &quot;mother&quot; and sent home from ER with a broken back? My

apparantly come to the attention of the authroities over six months ago because he was making statements in support of suicide bombers and yet no formal
investigation had begun. Which begs the question - why was he not immediately suspended subject to an investigation? There seems to be overwhelming evidence
that this man was unstable... ]]></description>

bottom line of what it said was that alcohol and tobacco were more harmful than cannabis and ecstasy. They also criticised the Government&#39;s policy on
drugs. And the government&#39;s reaction - they sacked its leader. Today 2 more members resigned in protest and others may follow.
