Teenager Philip Laing Who Urinated On War Memorial Sentenced
ANORAK spots Philip Laing, 19, leaving Sheffield Magistrates Court having pleaded guilty to outraging public decency after he was photographed urinating over a war memorial. District Judge Anthony Browne ordered Laing to do 250 hours community service:
“I have no doubt at all, and this is accepted by the prosecution that you did so because of the vast quantity of alcohol that you had consumed. There was no other motive whatsoever.”
They used to get you drunk before you went into battle. So you can be offended again, here are pictures of Laing and his crime:

Join The Campaign For Straight Gay Marriages
IF you are not gay, can you still have gay wedding, a so-called civil partnership? If you’re not a dog can you still enter Crufts? If you aren’t a vampire can you still drink the blood of a virgin?
Tom Freeman and Katherine Doyle, both 25, want to challenge “discriminatory” UK laws which restrict civil partnerships to same-sex couples. Having been denied a civil partnership at London’s Islington Register Office, Mr Freeman and Miss Doyle are protesting. Says he:
“It would be lovely to formalise our relationship but we are completely turned off by the whole institution of marriage because it discriminates against gay people.”

Lily Allen Plays And Serves Birmingham NIA In Pictures
LILY Allen performs live in concert at The NIA in Birmingham. Lily Allen’s latest shtick is to serve pints to her fans: “They asked me what I wanted, so I said a bar with Guinness.

Pictures Of Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova And Helena Christensen Artfully Naked For i-D
IN i-D Magazine, Claudia Schiffer, 29, Eva Herzigova, 36, and Helena Christensen, 40, pose in artfully naked photos.
The images are showcased in the Daily Mail, where Chris Johnson offered:
Together they have an average age of 38, but these three supermodel veterans show they certainly haven’t lost their sparkle. Eva Herzigova, 36, Helena Christensen, 40, and Claudia Schiffer, 39, wore just leather thigh boots as they gave a cheeky wink for a magazine shoot.
In other Daily Mail news:
Then there’s this season’s thigh-grazing boots. At 37, am I too old for them? I don’t think age comes into it. Madonna (50+) road-tested them in May, and I’m sure Amazonian L’Wren Scott (40+) would look terrific in a pair.
Madonna, you say, Daily Mail readers? Oh, her:
But despite her gym-honed body, and trend-setting reputation, the queen of pop was mutton dressed as lamb in a gothic-style lace skirt teamed with leather jacket and thigh-high boots.
The pictures:

Daily Mail Scuppers BBC’s Wrong Shipping Forecast
MORE on the Daily Mail’s war on the BBC. MacGuffin looks at a reaction to BBC Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast near disaster:
THIS morning, this particular story was third on the Mail’s website, suggesting that there are only two more important stories around.
Paul Revoir’s BBC apologises after broadcast of wrong shipping forecast leaves listeners all at sea reveals:
the BBC is in hot water after it broadcast the wrong shipping forecast and ended up frightening the nautical community with force 11 winds that had already passed.
‘Hot water’? So there was a Jan Moir-like flood of complaints? That’s what the Mail implies:
Members of the public feared that sailors were put at risk by the reports of extreme whether when the information was wrong.

Climate Gate: Politicians Investigate CRU’s Emails And The BBC Sat On The Story
FILES hacked from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) - see them here - seem to indicate an Orwellian pact between scientists to settle the scientific debate on man-made global warming.
The Washington Post sees “an intellectual circle that appears to feel very much under attack, and eager to punish its enemies”. Says Al Gorean George Monibot:
It’s no use pretending this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them.
Monibot has seen the eviedence and reached a conclusions.

Newspaper Correction Of The Year: The New Jersey Rabbis
THOSE New Jersey rabbis who laundered money and aold body parts to before politcos - well, it’s wrong: The New York Times was almost right:
“An article on Oct. 25 about the recent governor’s race in New Jersey misidentified the illegal activity that some Sephardic rabbis had been accused of and that the article characterized as part of the state’s infamous corruption. The rabbis were charged with money laundering, not with selling body parts and then using the money to bribe politicians. (There was a Brooklyn man accused of conspiring to broker the sale of a kidney, and several New Jersey politicians accused of corruption, all of whom were arrested the same day as the rabbis.)”
Not too bad an effort at reporting from the world’s biggerst newspaper brand…

Global Warming And BBC Bias With Richard Black And Ariel Magazine
CLIVE Davis spots an article by the BBC’s environment correspondent, Richard Black - read it here - in which he talks of the notion that the BBC is biased on climate change reporting.
Ask yourself this: when was the last time you saw a BBC report that questioned the science that says man-made global warming is going to cause untold devastation?
The BBC has two editorial golden rules: global warming is real and whatever happens in Israel must be the lead news story.
As Davis says: “His reflections on the aftermath - published in the house magazine, Ariel - don’t seem to be online.

Daily Mail And Tax Payers’ Alliance Attacks BBC Over Its Free Trees For A Better Planet
THE Daily Mail is no fan of the BBC and free trees. The BBC is full of guff - only this morning it gave us two climate change stories:
1. “BBC2, 7pm Wed 25 Nov: Can Obama Save the Planet?“, presented by Justin Rowlatt.
2. A story in which we learnt - with no facts - that Australian bush fires are arriving earlier than ever and are more intense, and that Australia is sometimes called - get this - “the Saudi Arabia of coal“.
MacGuffin notices that its “latest pathetic assault on the BBC comes in a story about trees”. He has more:
BBC under fire for Autumnwatch tree giveaway costing licence fee payers £150,000 reveals:
The Beeb is handing out 300,000 free trees at a thousand different garden centres, nurseries and DIY stores nationwide.
Each sapling has cost the corporation 32 pence - £96,000 in total

The Secret To A Happy Marriage Is Fear, Animals And A Hairy Back
A REPORT in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology says the recipe for a stable home life is to marry an agricultural engineer, optometrists, dentists, a member of the clergy or a podiatrist.
They stay with their partners longest because they are, in order: living on a remote farm with no livestock; spending time with the elderly; depressed; fearful of being watched and judged; and only ever see feet.
If you want volatility marry a dancer, choreographers, bartenders, massage therapist, or telephone operator. Phone operators make unreliable lovers – for them, the thrill is in being engaged. Geddit?!

Polar Bears Commit Suicide In New Cinema Advert
POLAR Bear Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at polar bears in the news: Polar bears are falling from the skies and being used to illustrate how climate change activism is based on bad science.
In the Mail, Christopher Booker asks:
Are we making the most expensive mistake in history?
On the Government’s own figures, the Climate Change Act is going to cost Britain £18 billion a year - that’s £720 for every household in the country - every year from now until 2050.
Of course, the thing about global warming is that even if it is not happening now, it might happen in the future. The irony is that what Booker calls a “colossal scare story” should feature in the Mail, home to scare stories.
But we should be afraid because Plane Stupid has filmed polar bears falling from the skies – without parachutes!
