the guardian: big brother 6 uk
....Big Brother had descended far below its usual bickering to a sustained period of racial conflict in which the bitterness originated from a cabal of white contestants..... The Sun editorialised this week that Saskia's views "sound very National Front to us".

......Even her audition video revealed the sort she is when she went off on one about "people coming into the country...they want to kill us, bomb us, call us names." .....Maxwell and Saskia are now probably the most unpopular pair in Britain since the Hamiltons and the Archers. Only slightly more right-wing.

Iraq's ambassador to the UN accuses AMERICA of cold-blooded murder

Samir Sumaidaie, Iraq's ambassador to the UN, has demanded an inquiry after he said his 21-year-old cousin was shot as he helped marines who were carrying out searches at his village in the restive Anbar province.

in the village of al-Sheikh Hadid, on 25 June, his cousin Mohammed al-Sumaidaie, an engineering student, was visiting his family home when some 10 marines with an Egyptian interpreter knocked on the door at 1000 local time. It was the last the family saw him alive. Shortly after, another brother was dragged out and beaten and the family was ordered to wait outside.

As the marines left "smiling at each other" an hour later, the interpreter told the mother they had killed Mohammed, said Mr Sumaidaie.

"In the bedroom, Mohammed was found dead and laying in a clotted pool of his blood. A single bullet had penetrated his neck."

"All indications point to a killing of an unarmed innocent civilian - a cold blooded murder," said Mr Sumaidaie in his letter.

...Millions of Americans are under the spell of an extraordinarily dangerous mass psychosis.... These Christians do not read the same books we do, they do not get their information from anything remotely resembling reasonably balanced sources.... Reconstructionist doctrine calls for the scrapping of environmental protection of all kinds, because there will be no need for this planet earth once The Rapture occurs....

Spanish gay couples to marry and adopt children

the decision overrules last week's rejection of the bill by the upper house, the Senate. The bill will become law in a month's time, making Spain Europe's third nation after the Netherlands and Belgium to allow same sex marriages. The new law puts same-sex and heterosexual marriages on the same legal footing, including the right to adopt children.

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said "We are not legislating, ladies and gentlemen, for remote unknown people. We are expanding opportunities for the happiness of our neighbours, our work colleagues, our friends, our relatives."

Some of Spain's local mayors have said they will not officiate at gay marriages.
