The chief exec, Lord Browne of British Petroleum and one of our top businessmen perjures himself in court
Of some importance is the Govt plan to fund parenting projects to the level of 30,000,000 UKP in order to teach young parents the art of singing their children to sleep at night; after the spate this week of teenagers shooting each other with handguns perhaps this may serve to correct the tendency in the future, however, since all handguns have been banned here for years I can only deduce the education system is working exceedingly well and the kids are knocking the things up in metalwork classes.
By the same token we can shortly therefore expect the demise of these English staples; Cottage Pie, Shepherd's Pie, Bath and Chelsea Buns, Toad in the Hole, Bangers and Mash, Angel Cakes, Butterfly Buns and many more that you can think of. Certainly that's the end of Spotted Dick and Swiss Rolls for ever.

Richard, it's amazing if you aren't bald as the goings on in your part of the world would cause much hair pulling! Why do common sense and government have to have an inverse relationship?
A few comments on your post:
I now know why the BP refinery in Texas City, Tx. has killed more workers and exploded more often than any other. The executives are too busy "taking it in the brown(e)"!
The Yorkshire Rose restaurant in Abbotsford, B.C. serves a delicious "Faggots and peas" and will (I hope) continue to do so, unlike Ol' Blighty.
An uncommon bit of common sense from a politician. Texas Governor Rick Perry, in light of the slaughter of the unarmed students of the "Gun free" Virginia Tech campus has proposed legislation removing all exclusions to concealed carry in Texas. Currently, concealed carry is prohibited in schools, churches, courts, bars etc. This prohibition has not stopped any criminal from carrying out murder and mayhem, in fact it has only made it easier as they know where they will be the only armed person present. Soon, they won't know how many armed people they will be facing when they go berserk and how soon they will be "Swiss Cheese" when they start shooting. God bless Texas!!
