North Korea has threatened to send missiles to Guam, Hawaii and the US mainland presumably by air mail. The country is broke, its weaponry is archaic and its computer technology little more than an old space invaders game nicked from a London pub in the 1980s. And yet it has ramped up its war [...]Abu Qatada deportation appeal: Qatada is smiling today, while Theresa May and the rest of Britain are furious

After coming down hard on the Border Agency yesterday, Theresa May has caught one in the eye. Her appeal against a court ruling preventing Britain from deporting the radical cleric Abu Qatada has been quashed, meaning that the man will walk free just weeks after he was detained. This is one of the issues on [...]Cypriot “solution” threatens further economic carnage among the other PIGS

There is no mess quite so bad that eurocrat intervention wont make even worse. Ever since the Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem declared that Cyprus would act as a template for other struggling eurozone lenders, the sound of screeching brakes and gear sticks being wrenched rapidly into reverse has been deafening. This is what he [...]The Rent-a-Mourner story reveals a sad truth beneath the jokes: too many people die alone

From todays newspaper, a story of an enterprise thats boldly gone where few men have gone before. Rent-a-Mourner, run by a Mr Robertson, provides well, the clues in the name, really. What sort of people want to hire non-professional actors to fill the seats at their funeral? People who die in Hull, apparently. Mr [...]Russian Orthodox tell Archbishop of Canterbury: ordain women bishops and you can forget about unity

Theres a quaint Anglican concept of the universal Church known as the branch theory. This claims that there are three main branches to apostolic Christianity: Roman, Orthodox and Anglican. Its much favoured by Church of England clerics who arent very keen on Romans, as they call Catholics, and convey their anti-Papist sentiment in pro-Orthodox code, [...]What Save the Children are doing for the Syrian refugees is remarkable. Please support them

Im just back from three days in Jordan with Save the Children visiting Syrian refugees in that country. The situation in Jordan is fast becoming critical there are six million Jordanians and, if current estimates are correct, there will be over a million Syrian refugees in the country by the end of 2013. This [...]Girl killed by dogs: almost any breed can kill. But good nurture can beat dangerous nature

The tragic death of Jade Anderson is bound to raise questions about how we regulate the ownership of dogs. The 14-year old was visiting a friends home in Wigan when five dogs went into a frenzy and mauled her to death. According to early reports, the breeds involved were bull mastiffs and Staffordshire bull terriers [...]David Miliband’s emigration has removed a frightful burden from his brother

David Miliband is abandoning politics because he no longer wants to be part of a soap opera, were told. Does the fault lie with a contemporary rapacious media that sticks its finger in open wounds and keeps them bleeding rather than with competitive siblings? Edward Stanley became an MP in 1917, saw his seat disappear [...]
