I worked in schools for years as pupil support and a teacher. Kids will use an annoying tone for anything with that look on their face that says 'you can't do anything about it'. I have always thought it was a fantastic way of rebelling places that aspire to recreating the Hitler Youth of conformity.

Its the usual nonsense - immigrants are stealing our jobs AND living off benefits. The same thing has been said of Asians, Africans, Irish, Normans, Angles, Saxons ad infinitum and definitely ad nauseum.

I agree this is a revolting story.

I cannot say I am surprised.

Some of the women around here diet themselves into a skeletal state and their faces are as wrinkled as rotten apples by the time they are 35. Obviously they don't have any body fat to use for the wrinkle treatments as they are just skin and (decalcified bone more…

I heard this on the news earlier today and almost got sick.
This is too shocking and disgusting for words, and yes, the buyers are just as guilty as the murderers as far as I am concerned! It is a shocking indictment about the crazy world we live in today.

isn't it, but even worse on the cosmetic industry that is prepared to buy it for $10,000 a litre I believe it said! That's inviting temptation for poverty stricken people...ghastly thought... more…

Thanks. I used read them in one of the mainstream papers in Australia - I can't recall which one - which may be why the name is uncertain as it could have been a local change.

I do remember there was a fair bit of censorship (and self-censorship) going on in the Australian press at the time because they had conscripted troops for the V more…
