20-08-2003 15:21

Parties and celebrations took place in Hamburg, northern Germany, last night, as the local home office secretary - Ronald Schill - was sacked, due to scandals and mismanagement within the Hamburg city council.

20-08-2003 14:25

We all know about the bad reputation that is aimed at private landlords, i.e. extortionate rents, bad conditions of repair and so on, but the fact is, as housing associations move into property development for sale and shared ownership and sell off or demolish most of their old stock less housing vacancies will be available for poor homeless people.

Iron Mike from Manchester - Sooo Shocked!

20-08-2003 10:17

"FANS of TV shows like The Bill may have a better chance of nailing criminals than some police officers, says Greater Manchester's Chief Constable Mike Todd."

Maybe he takes his advanced technique from a well known camp Tv personality famous for his intrusive but humourous interviewing skills. Soon maybe all of Manchester's police will be Sooo Mike Todd.
