Manchester United fans top 'arrest league'
Mind you, I'm listening to BBC Leeds and they're reporting Leeds United are the worst, with 162.
Poor journalism, and bad sensationalism for my fair city...

Simple marketing - almost every major company is acting (more or less) green these days. I don't believe that because AFAIK apple doesn't really own any major facilities (like most other big brands) - most stuff gets assembledd by subcontractors wich are located somewhere in the lovely freedom of speech country China and work closely with apple. But these subcontractors are just "assembling" the devices, that is not really harming the enviroment. Other, not named, facilities are producing the actual parts and I doubt that these facilities are working 1:1 according to what the marketing says. Why should the CEO's care about all that stufft while they gain their margin of profit in producing their stuff in China?

I agree, however the chambers of commerce worldwide do have quite an
influence. In Germany, companies are obliged to be a member of the chamber
and to pay an annual fee. You are not allowed to educate trainees, unless
you are a member ... So if these chamber get a bit highlighted, might be marketing
in a way, but still it's raising awareness for the role of the chambers ...

Ah but was it fair-trade cocaine? 
The weather is fairly newsworthy at the mo. I'm not going to work today, spent 30 minutes trying to get out, Kirkstall Road hasn't been gritted, I'm not risking my life, so I've come back home and phoned in. Sitting in the living room wearing 3 jumpers and a scarf, with the central heating on full, and I still haven't warmed up yet

from the daily mail:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... atred.html
A family board game based on the popular TV sitcom Dad's Army has been bizarrely banned from sale on eBay because of its 'association with Nazis'.
The game was described as 'offensive material' by the online auction website which could 'promote violence, hatred and racial or religious intolerance' as it had a swastika on its front cover.
Seller Dave Davidson, who bought the game at a car boot sale, only listed the game for 99p - but was outraged to see it removed from the auction site after a few days for breaching the company's offensive material policy.
of course the mail would know about that kind of thing

Nah. Retreating into fluttering Victorian vulnerability and helplessness is a tried and tested tactic when caught bending by the average woman. Ask any man who's been involved in the family courts or a divorce proceeding.
After Blair's singing "Je ne regrette rien", I'm wondering: If Blair sets foot in the Netherlands, where the war HAS been judged illegal, can he be arrested? And can a Dutch judge demand he be sent for trial under a European Arrest Warrant?

Andrew Wakefield, the man single-handedly responsible for creating the MMR scare, has been found by the General Medical Council to have acted "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in his research and with "callous disregard" for the children that were the subject of his research. (BBC clicky)
Wakefield did not get proper ethics clearance for his research, and lied about it. He had a financial conflict of interest and lied about it. He lied about how his study was constructed. He lied about the results. He attempted to cover up data (from his own team) which contradicted his "results".
If Wakefield had acted honestly and ethically, there would never have been any doubts raised as to the safety of MMR. In my opinion this makes him personally responsible for at least two deaths in the UK, and many more injuries.
