UK Priorities Run Ragged

Which is more important pictures of Kate Middleton or the shooting of two lady police officers? The Bankers are still at it but do they deserve all their money for working long hours? One senior lady banker thought so as she is set to spend five years in jail for fraud. The Education system is still miles adrift in the UK and why is it so easy to cheat in Britain?

Farewell to Max and The Fabulous Glittering Paralympics

Neil is back and ready to take on the world. The Paralympics are in full swing and the athletes are marvellous. Bullfighting is back on TV in Spain. Why? Why is the VAT at the Bullfights staying at 8% and goes up on other cultural events? Archbishop Tutu has made an attack on Tony Blair and Neil brings up the Falklands. The makers of Thalidimide have offered an apology which is deemed insincere.

Farewell Neil Armstrong

Barbara Anne is sitting in for Neil to give us a lady's point of view. Today, the world mourns the death of Neil Armstrong, Anders Breivik is given 21 years but is this really enough? Prince Harry has behaved in a way that will have offended the Queen. Is this a fair assumption and does it really matter? How on earth can the world recover from this terrible recession and are there more sinister aspects to this?

Cannibals and David Beckham

Neil is at a golf tournament today and Barbara Anne is sitting in for Neil to give us a lady's point of view. Football is back and the petulant millionaires are ready to cheat and dive their way to even more money in their bank balances which cannot be afforded. The doctors are already talking of Post Olympic psychiatric problems and the Health Sevice in the UK is paying for a convicted cannibal to live the life or Riley in his Broadmoor Hotel.

Britain's Olympic Legacy

Let the Games begin

The Olympic Games have begun and the wonderful Opening ceremony is the first part of today's show. First, we looked at the failure of the cyclists who had just won the Tour de France. From then on in a theme emerged with money being at the root of all evil. The world's gone bananas! This is about the EU sending help to the banana growers in Barbados. Then there's always somebody at the top being paid huge money for incompetence. This week it's the ex- chief of the UK Border Agency.
