The headline screamed:

"Ukranian Councillor Injures 26 After Setting Off Three Hand Grenades At Village Meeting!"

As a former hack of 30 years' standing I have covered countless parish council meetings and you know what? I kinda know how he must have felt!

Frozen Embryos? Chill Out.

So, the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that any couple allowing their frozen embryos to be destroyed could "be held liable" as such embryos "have the same rights as children". They have, among many things, the right to an education. Trying to teach a hormonal, desensitized, truculent teenager is tough, but a zygote.........?!!? Also, they have the right to have an opinion. Anything worse than an opinionated embryo? Then there's the right to information. Who exactly is going to sit in front of a freezer reading out the daily newspapers to it? Let's take this lunacy a step further with the "parents" of an embryo - a sperm and an egg.

Former Trinity Mirror CEO Sylvia "Sly" Bailey and professional dickhead Piers Morgan have at least two things in common: 1. They both have faces you would like to slap. 2. They both knew phone hacking was going on at The Daily Mirror, a judge has concluded. PHONE HACKING, unless carried out permissibly by a government agency, IS ILLEGAL. Glenn Mulcaire was jailed for six months when he was found to have violated the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 in the News of the World scandal. The judge mentioned above, who sat on the civil case against The Mirror, was told that the paper was still hacking phones during the Leveson Inquiry into......into.....urmm........that News of the World phone hacking! Police are said to be considering the evidence and findings of the civil action brought against The Mirror and, even though the required standard of proof is higher in a criminal court, Bailey and Morgan must surely be charged? Put the evidence before a jury. Let them decid...
