PASSENGERS BOARDING FOR A HANDCUFFED FLIGHT

Wrists and legs handcuffed the whole flight. Allowed to go to the toilet only with the door open and four guards standing outside.
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) with increasing frequency to return failed asylum- seekers is using these kinds of flights with such a disrespectful treatment.

On a sunny April morning early this kind of flight took off from Heathrow’s northern runway towards the South coast, and Yves Yitgna Njitchoua, a 34-year old from Cameroon was on board. ‘’People were screaming and crying because they feared for their lives’’ he said in a interview.

The 34-year-old Cameroonian asylum-seeker, complained to the UK government about his treatment when he was sent back to Africa.

This is truly unbelievable. An asylum-seeker is just a men or women who is afraid for his or her own country what harm could they do to anyone? Which right do you as a government have to threat people like this? Secret flights, handcuffed women en children on board. This sounds like the UKBA had a airplane full of terrorists. I totally agree that the 34-year-old man is complaining to the UK government. I think that this is a perfect example of the world we are living in. Everyone is in fear and no matter who you are, even if you are a asylum-seeker you will be treated disrespectfully. War, terror, economic crisis. These things messed up our humanity and our respect and love to others.

FAT RAMBO

British troops: Fit soldiers who can run 2,4km and give you as many sit-ups and press-ups possible within two minutes or less. Unfortunately thousands of British troop soldiers fail to reach the army's own basic standard of fitness. Amid growing concerns that many soldiers are becoming too fat to fight during the war.

Despite commanders' insistence that fitness is vital to the "battle-winning edge needed to ensure success on operations'' a Ministry of Defence (MoD) report into fitness levels confirms that barely two-thirds of soldiers are as fit as they should be.

Troops who are to fat to fight can take a second test to join the army: a 1.5 mile run, sit-ups and press-ups against the clock, wearing "PT kit and training shoes". But if they continue to fail after "remedial training", they can be discharged.

This is actually a funny fact to read about. Soldiers should be fit indeed if they want to fight in a war. We can't have fat soldiers whom are not even fit enough to run away. That would tear down a huge amount of english families whom lost their son's in war. To be a soldier is not destined for everybody, besides the fact that a soldier must have a fit body, they also have to be fit psychologically. Many soldiers have a crack down when they return from a warzone. I think that besides a fitness test, the troops should also have a psychological exam when choosing their British Warriors to fight during a war.

Gangs of London

A 15-year old boy is stabbed to death outside a pioneering school for troubled teenagers.

The 15-year old boy is the thirteenth teenager whom is been killed in London and the ninth to die in a stabbing.

Saim Sadfdar, who runs a shop opposite of the school, said that the boy collapsed in the arms of a teacher who came out to help him.

Police have begun a murder inquiry and are investigating the possibility that the killing was motivated by gang rivalries. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said three people have been arrested in connection with the incident.

Richard Leonard, the head teacher of Park Campus, said: "This is a terrible tragedy and the whole school is in shock.

This is indeed a tragedy for the whole school. How can someone be so stolid to stab a 15-year-old teenager? Schools should be save places for children and teenagers, besides their homes. It is a place where people get to learn and to be educated, not to be murdered. Gang rivalries are getting more and more these days. I mean, how can a 15-year-old student be involved in a gang rivalry.

The society should do something to save the teenagers and the children from these kinds of accidents and murders.

AMERICA OWNS BRITTIAN?

Sterling has lost a quarter of its value against the dollar in the last two-and-a-half years, and this is a great opportunity for America to take over some of the biggest UK companies.

Thanks to the weakness of the pound against the dollar, American companies are preparing to launch daring takeover bids against the biggest corporate names, including BAE Systems and AstraZeneca.

Following the controversial takeover of Cadbury earlier this year by the US food giant Kraft, analysts predict that the well known companies BAE Systems and AstraZeneca could fall in American Hands.

With these kinds of things going on, you can clearly see how greedy the Americans are. One moment of weakness and the country tries to own everything that they could get their hands on. Unfortunately it is a fact that the pound has less more value than the Dollar and this is a huge advantage for America. My personal opinion on this is that England should not sell their companies; America has already too much influence on everything. Leave the UK for it's own and try to get your hands on other things in your own country.
