    Have you seen this man!

    A security company has put up a reward of £25,000 for information leading to the conviction of an armed robber who shot a security guard in Essex.
    The 59-year-old victim was about to load a cash machine outside Tesco in Laindon, Essex on 20 March when he was shot in the leg but was not seriously injured.

    The gunmen fled and the cashbox was found with some cash, which had been covered in security dye.

    Security company G4F have offered the reward, the spokesman added.

    An e-fit of the armed robber who was described as white, about 5ft 10in (178cm) and wearing a black bomber jacket and a multi-coloured woolly hat, was released by police.

    Although this is a terrible incident and no laughing matter, how the hell are you supposed to recognise anybody from a drawing like that?

  • No Conspiracy

    It is finally over for Mohammad Fayed, the coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker has begun his summing up into the Inquests into the deaths of Dianna, Princess of Wales and Dodi Al Fayed. The inquest which begun in October last year is estimated to have cost £10m.

    The coroner demolished the central claim by the Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed, telling the jury that the suggestion that Prince Philip had ordered MI6 to arrange for the couple to die in a Paris road tunnel on 31 August 1997 was without foundation.
    Dismissing Mr Fayed's theories, he said: "Foremost among them is the proposition that Diana was assassinated by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) on the orders of the Duke of Edinburgh. There is no evidence that the Duke of Edinburgh ordered Diana's execution, and there is no evidence the Secret Intelligence Service or any other government agency organised it."

    The only witness to fully support this claim was Mr Fayed. "The [telephone] conversation involved three people but only one can tell us about it now," the coroner said. "Sadly the only other people who can confirm or deny it are no longer alive, so this fairly and squarely raises the issue of Mohamed Al Fayed's credibility. Is this a man on whose word you can rely?"
    Dealing with whether Diana and Dodi were or were about to get engaged, the coroner highlighted a mass of, at times, conflicting evidence about their previous relationships. And he asked the jury: "At the end of the day does the precise state of the relationship between Diana and Dodi really matter?"

    Towards the end even the lawyers acting on My Al Fayed behalf admitted that there was no case to answer and conspiracy, Mr Al Fayed was in court but left without making a statement. Will he now let the case drop, I doubt that very much, and even now I am sure he his planning his next move, only time will tell what that will be.

  • Immigration

    An influential House of Lords committee has said that immigration has little or no benefit to the UK. Competition from immigrants has had a negative effect on the low paid, training and for young UK workers and it added if has contributed to high house prices.

    The committee which includes two ex-chancellors and other cabinet ministers have said that there should be a cap on immigration levels. It rejected claims by Government Ministers that high levels of immigration were necessary to prevent labour shortages. It stated that this idea was ‘Fundamentally Flawed’

    It also added that the new points system the committee says ’It is not clear whether the new system will in fact constitute the radical overhaul of the UK’s immigration system suggested by this Government’.

    However, Dr Danny Sriskandarajah, head of migration at the Institute for Public Policy Research said, that to say there were no economic benefits was ‘Simplistic and misleading’. Sriskandarajah now that’s a nice English name, seems he’s got a nice job as well, I bet it’s well paid.
