    And the worst part is they get £30,000 a year from tax payers like me. Its a joke.
    Its both the mothers fault of those girls, the girls themselves and the government who have all been absolutely stupid. I heard the mother on television earlier and she said ” I dont deserve all the blame, I deserve a bit”. How can she say that when all 3 of her daughters are pregnant under 16?! Secondly, I dont believe that the girls didnt have enough information about pregnancy, and why on earth are the government saying that they should teach sex education to children when they are younger? It doesnt work like that! The younger they teach the kids about sex the younger they think they can have it. But really I blame the parents overall. They should have enough backbone to say to their own children what age is too young, and if they can’t police that then maybe they shouldnt be parents at all.

    did i also hear correctly that she KNEW that one or more of the girls was having sex upstairs…i mean for f#cks sake whats going on :confused: .The mother i feel is to blame for all this

    what i can never understand is why Ray never got a medal,i suppose it could be that they frowned upon the deliberate waste of a precious hurricane? Nicholson got a VC for shooting down 1 plane,i know his hurri was on fire, but what is the real differnce, a lthough interesting i agree with some that the france spitfire dig was better
