Silverstone housing development turned down
Plans to build 260 houses, an 80-bed care home and a GP surgery on the edge of Silverstone have been blocked by South Northamptonshire Council. Proposals to develop on the greenfield site, which lies between the A413 Towcester Road and the A43 Silverstone bypass, were shelved at a meeting of the authority's planning committee on Thursday. Planners rejected the application made by Northampton-based developers Barwood La Salle Land Ltd Partnership, because they felt the proposals did not meet the needs of the village.
One rule for them
A little girl was marched out of a foreign airport by armed guards and made to stay in a filthy, makeshift hospital for five days because doctors suspected she had swine flu. Ellie Kemp, eight, had been looking forward to a holiday in Egypt but she was locked away and had her passport seized after doctors claimed she had the illness – despite showing no symptoms. Parents Sarah and Chris Kemp, of Chatsworth Drive, Wellingborough, watched in horror as they stepped off the plane in Sharm el Sheikh, and saw their daughter surrounded by men in white coats and armed guards. The guards told the family that invisible monitors had detected that Ellie has a high temperature and confiscated her passport. Imagine the outcry from the hand-wringing left wing liberals if the UK decided to do the same thing, or even start screening asylum seekers and illegal immigrants into the the country for HIV-AIDS, Tuberculosis among other diseases.
More Job Losses for Corby and Oundle
A fifth of the remaining workforce at boat-building firm Fairline is to be made redundant. Last week the company announced it would be making 'a limited amount of redundancies' but yesterday staff at the firm, which has plants in Oundle and Corby, were told 89 office and administration staff are to lose their jobs. The redundancies will affect 22 per cent of the company's workforce, which has already seen 365 jobs axed since September last year.

Proud to say I'm now a pavement-pounding letterbox-bothering BNP activist.
In "One Rule for Them" you clearly think the treatment received was wrong and degrading - as it was! Why, therefore, would you want to (or even contemplate) introducing such practices into the UK?
The girl concerned did not have swine flu. In the meantime people are coming to this country with with diseases which is going to have to be paid for out of our National Insurance conrtibutions which will result in people who have paid into the system the whole of their working lives not receiving the treatment they have paid for and are entitled to.
