I sometimes wonder, given the high frequency of these things happening on the front pages of British tabloids and papers, if this is a secret contest between the many publications, to see who can go the furthest.

.. huh story is on the main page but will not load

meantime :

what the hell is wrong with people in Sark


"ANIMAL remains from Sark’s slaughterhouse will no longer be dumped over a cliff side as the island moves towards a more modern method, its government has decided."

More modern than throwing bits off of a cliff ?

When oh when will the busybodies stop interfering ?!

Big wicker man/cow or something.

Make a day out of it for the whole family.

Plus the smell might make people hungry and drive sales of burgers, hotdogs etc etc .

Do it at night and might attract ships and they can be smashed on the rocks and looted err... warned of the dangerous rocks nearby.

Not just a Viking axe related attack, a big-tim drug bust too!

Police noticed a smell of cannabis when they went to Devlin's room to arrest him, and he handed over cannabis with an estimated street value of £2.60.
