Thoughts on Arsenal vs. Plymouth

Arsenal 3 - 1 Plymouth (Van Persie 47, 84, Gray 49 (og) Duguid 52) Highlights here; Arsene’s reaction here A fairly routine win over Plymouth, and it’s a trickier looking tie away to last year’s finalists Cardiff in the next round.

Is There a Right Wing Extremist Under Your Bed?

This is a Google Ad being run on right of centre websites and blogs by the Metropolitan Police. I wonder if they are also running ones headed LEFT WING EXTREMIST... or perhaps MUSLIM ETREMIST ... or perhaps COMMUNIST SYYMPATHISER? I doubt it, because the left would be up in arms. However, it is somehow acceptable to go after people who can be dubbed 'Right Wing Extremist'. Some on the left would no... -

Anti-Scientologists post link to website 'predicting Jett Travolta's death'
Holy Smoke (subscribe) | 04/01/2009 | UK
Some anti-Scientology campaigners are reacting ghoulishly to the terrible death of John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett on a family holiday in the Bahamas. They claim that Jett - who apparently died after hitting his head in the bathroom following a seizure - suffered from autism. The Travoltas have always denied this. The campaigners also note that the Chur... - see all discussions
