      <description><![CDATA[Barbara Baker from the Costa Blanca stands in for Neil Colbourne who is in the UK on an errand of mercy.

AS he staggered off the pitch at the Parc des Princes last night, David Beckham looked an emotional wreck. His career had scanned three decades but it was time to say a tearful adieu to Paris — and professional football.  With nine minutes remaining, the fourth official indicated that it was time for Becks to leave the field and nearly 45,000 Frenchmen rose  to salute this guy from the other side of the Channel.

The alleged price fixing in the oil markets and the alleged evasion of taxes by Google are seen from a female perspective. Is it still incredible that people are around who do not use the Internet? Barbara is one of the few who still have a resistance to the modern technology. 

A British father, 53, has become the first man in the world to have his prostate removed to beat cancer the dreaded flaw which struck Angelina Jolie. It was discovered he was carrying the BRCA2 gene during clinical trials at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London. Hollywood actress Angelina had a double mastectomy after testing positive for the rogue BRCA1 gene which is linked to breast cancer

British cleaners and Portuguese manual workers are among new suspects in the Madeleine McCann investigation, The Mail on Sunday has learned. Maddie disappeared from the Ocean Club at Praia da Luz in Portugal when she was on holiday with her family. Meanwhile, a couple have been imprisoned after police uncovered a crime ring involving the smuggling of babies from Morocco into Spain for sale. The married couple were sentenced to two years prison and fined €3,240 for their involvement in the purchase of a baby from Ceuta. Could there be a link?

They also surged to second place behind Labour in the South Shields parliamentary by-election, pushing the Lib Dems into SEVENTH.

THE Spanish doctor at the heart of the blood-doping scandal has received a one year suspended sentence following a 10-week trial in Madrid. Eufemiano Fuentes has been found guilty of endangering public health after overseeing a large-scale doping operation within the cycling industry. neil and Vince discussed this idiocy.

GAY Deputy Commons Speaker Nigel Evans was arrested yesterday on suspicion of sex attacks on two men aged in their 20s.  Tory MP Mr Evans, 55, a gay rights campaigner, was questioned for 12 hours after officers swooped on his rural constituency home in Pendleton, Lancs.

      <description><![CDATA[We started looking at the dreadful suffering in Bangladesh where the building collapsed and the people working in the building had been working in the clothing industry. We discussed how big business shifts its costs around the planet and how everything is interlinked.  Next we looked at the workings and impact of Social Media. Then the Sun have their sensational way of writing  sleazy headlines. The headline told us a SEX abuse victim told yesterday how an EastEnders actor groomed him as an 11-year-old.  Steven, not his real name, says he was promised a role on the BBC1 soap if he performed degrading acts. He was forced to wear swimming trunks and cover himself in baby oil while the extra abused him and other sickos leered through peepholes.  Steven, now a 37-year-old engineer, suffered FIVE YEARS of hell at their hands. He spoke out after The Sun revealed last month that cops were investigating claims of underage sex abuse by staff on the soap. The paper also ran an article on MAX Clifford  who yesterday said he and other stars arrested by the police investigating Jimmy Savile  were “in the same boat” after he was charged with 11 sex offences.

The works of some our great poets are also included in the service — following instructions the former Prime Minister laid out eight years ago.  She insisted there will be no eulogy. Instead the traditional and deeply religious send-off she personally planned will be honoured.  Meanwhile Football holiganism has returned with the focus being on Millwall FC. Facebook seems to think it is acceptable to allow videos of Anim,al Cruelty on thier websitde and the Police started investigating 17-year-old former Youth Police and Crime Commissioner Paris Brown after discovering she used a racial slur in her Twitter profile. It's another lively look at the UK and Spanish news with our dynamic duo.

      <description><![CDATA[AN “unteachable” army of 1,210 kids were suspended from school at least TEN times last year, figures show.  This has become farcical. Britain’s worst-behaved pupils were barred for offences including drug-taking, boozing and attacks on teachers and classmates.  Other “crimes” by the tearaways  included theft, racism, sexual misconduct and bullying, the Department for Education said.  Of the offenders 130 were at primary school, 940 at secondary — most aged 13 to 15 — and 140 at special schools for troubled children.  Christopher McGovern, from the Campaign for Real Education, said: “Some children are unteachable — so disruptive that the education of classmates is being seriously damaged." I can tell you from my teaching days the problems are mounting up.

What was Neil's reaction on hearing TEENAGERS will be forced to take dancing lessons in a huge shake-up for PE in the UK.   For the first time it will become compulsory for pupils aged 11 to 14.  The move comes despite David Cameron’s preference for competitive sport.  The PM sparked a row last year when he said schools had hit a sports target “with things like Indian dance”. He complained: “That’s not really sport.”  The Government’s newly unveiled curriculum keeps dance as part of PE at primary schools and extends compulsory lessons to secondaries where they are optional.
The draft curriculum says Key Stage 3 pupils should learn dances built on the “range of movement patterns” taught at primary schools." Our conversation might surprise you.

The use of the mobile phone has been brought into great debate after a young lad committed suicide when his mother had confiscated his phone. In the Mail there was an article by Martha Roberts in which she explains she has become a cyber junkie. She also offers ideas of how to beat her addiction.

      <description><![CDATA[MAFIA-style gangs were last night suspected of being behind the horse meat scandal in the UK.  The spotlight fell on organised cartels as Environment Secretary Owen Paterson raised fears of an “international criminal conspiracy”. Reports suggest Italian and Polish gangs are running huge scams during food production or intimidating vets and officials to sign off bogus labels.


SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne was last night fighting for his life after suffering a catastrophic reaction to alcohol withdrawal. The frail star is in intensive care after his organs began to shut down in the hours following his arrival at a rehab clinic in the US.  A source close to the star revealed the tragic development last night. He said: “Gazza’s in a bad way. He’s much worse than he was and desperately needs help. “He’s had really bad withdrawal symptoms relating to not drinking since arriving at the clinic. "His internal organs are shutting down and he’s in intensive care — it’s a potentially life-threatening situation.


Sara Hesmonhalgh has spent her entire working life on benefits — after deliberately having kids to avoid getting a job. Sara, 24, started planning her first pregnancy in her last year at school and had Charlie when she was 16. She said: “For me and for many of my friends at school it was the only way out and a few of us took it. What was the point of getting a crummy job on minimum wage?

The spotlight fell on organised cartels as Environment Secretary Owen Paterson raised fears of an “international criminal conspiracy”. Reports suggest Italian and Polish gangs are running huge scams during food production or intimidating vets and officials to sign off bogus labels. SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne was last night fighting for his life after suffering a catastrophic reaction to alcohol withdrawal. The frail star is in intensive care after his organs began to shut down in the hours following his arrival at a rehab clinic in the US. A source close to the star revealed the tragic development last night. He said: “Gazza’s in a bad way. He’s much worse than he was and desperately needs help. “He’s had really bad withdrawal symptoms relating to not drinking since arriving at the clinic. "His internal organs are shutting down and he’s in intensive care — it’s a potentially life-threatening situation. Sara Hesmonhalgh has spent her entire working life on benefits — after deliberately having kids to avoid getting a job. Sara, 24, started planning her first pregnancy in her last year at school and had Charlie when she was 16. She said: “For me and for many of my friends at school it was the only way out and a few of us took it. What was the point of getting a crummy job on minimum wage?

THE family of murdered Ben Kinsellat hit out after his killer’s dad was awarded £20,000 compensation.  Michael Alleyne Snr won a settlement from the Metropolitan Police.

      <description><![CDATA[A UK couple told the Sun  how they claim £17,680 a year in benefits . They  don’t even bother looking for work because it would leave them worse off. Danny Creamer is 21, and Gina Allan is 18, and they spend each day watching their 47inch  flatscreen TV and smoking 40 cigarettes between them in their comfortable two-bedroom flat.   It is all funded by the UK taxpayer, yet the couple say they deserve sympathy because they are “trapped”.  They even claim they are entitled to their generous handouts because their hard-working parents have been paying tax for years. The comments written on the website do not support their claims.  The couple, who have a four-month-old daughter Tullulah-Rose, say they can’t go out to work as they could not survive on less than their £1,473-a-month benefits.


Whilst this is one story MPs are moaning about the quality of food served in their highly-subsidised Parliament restaurants demonstrating they are clearly not in the real world.  The list of grumbles includes “tough as old boots” roast beef and their gripes will shock taxpayers who pick up 75 % of the bill. 

If this isn't bad enough UK TAXPAYERS are set to cough up £6MILLION this year to pay the bills of hate cleric Abu Qatada. This man has told everyone how much he hates the west. The Islamic fanatic racked up legal costs of £5,000 A DAY last month after being allowed to stay in Britain.  He will cost an astonishing £5MILLION this year to foot the security bill for the 52-year-old who has been closely monitored since his release from jail last November.


There sems to be some agreement that an armed robber with a breathing problem who died when have-a-go punters tackled him as he raided a bookies, got what he deserved.  Alan Levers, 50, burst into the Ladbrokes brandishing a handgun and wearing a gas mask.  We are told he had a breathing problem. Two punters wrestled him to the floor and sat on him until cops arrived to find him unconscious ten minutes later.  Paramedics tried to resuscitate Levers but declared him dead after 20 minutes in Plymouth, Devon.

      <description><![CDATA[In Spain.  families are cutting back on their food bill due to the financial crisis, according to government statistics.  Popular items such as meat and fish are being dropped in favour of cheaper alternatives like pasta, rice and cheap meats.  Spending on food per person fell in three consecutive months, with September witnessing a 2.3% fall and a decrease of 1.8% in October.

In Algeria, fanatics have attacked workers at a gas plant. The outrage — ordered by Mokhtar Belmokhtar — killed 23 hostages and 32 militants over the course of four days at BP’s In Amenas gas plant, according to the Algerian government.  It is believed 11 fanatics linked to al-Qaeda executed seven hostages before being killed by Algerian special forces in yesterday’s bloody desert showdown.


After Lance Armstrong decided to open his heart to Oprah Winfreh, star cyclist Mark Cavendish fears no one will believe pro cyclists are clean again. Vavendish, the sprint ace,  says the shamed star was so convincing in the past when lying about performance enhancing drugs, the TV revelations will leave the public wondering if cyclists are telling the truth forever more.  Last night he said: “He was a hero to anyone wanting to be cyclist when I was growing up, but when he was asked in the past if he was cheating he was so adamant, so convincing.  “I get irritated when people question if my success is through hard work, but after seeing the interview, I can now understand why people have a problem with believing us today when we say we are clean.
“They could think ‘if Lance lied so well, so could they’.”


BRITAIN’S top union boss has been accused of brainwashing after launching a secret bid to sign up schoolkids.  Unite leader Len McCluskey has set up a team of “union tutors” to target every 15-year-old in the country.  The hardline Left-winger has ordered his hit-squad to visit secondary schools as part of a campaign to “educate, agitate and organise”.

A MIGRANT mum thanked the UK yesterday for letting her claim £14,500 a year in benefits. Natalija Belova, 33, told The Sun how she spurns full-time work — yet can afford foreign holidays and buys designer clothes. The Lithuanian said: “British benefits give me and my daughter a good life.”  She has milked soft-touch Britain for £50,000 in benefits and yesterday said: "I simply take what is given to me."  Overjoyed Natalija told how she lives a life of luxury thanks to our “strange” system, declaring: “It’s important to have nice things and good holidays.”

      <description><![CDATA[In Spain, a couple have slammed the authorities for failing to compensate them for the demolition of their home five years ago. Len and Helen Prior had their property bulldozed in Vera, Andalucia, in January 2008 over ‘planning irregularities’.

In the UK,  a top police officer who was fooled by Jimmy Savile in 2007 is working on the fresh investigation into his decades of abuse. Detective Constable Angela Sullivan was part of the Surrey Police team that investigated his attacks at Duncroft residential school for vulnerable girls. She has been recalled  by officers working on the new investigation, called Operation Outreach.

Jon Venables,  who abducted, tortured and murdered the toddler James Bulger in 1993 along with Robert Thompson when they were ten-year-olds Venables ,  is making a fresh plea for freedom  in an attempt to be released this summer. Venables, now 30, will appear before a Parole Board to claim he is no longer a danger and can be trusted to keep his false identity secret. But the parents of two-year-old James Bulger are disgusted that they are being forced to revisit the tragedy yet again.

In the UKI, thousands of kids go to schools where more than half of teachers are UNQUALIFIED.  Shock tables show fully-qualified teachers are in the minority at TEN English schools.. five primary and five secondary .... teaching 5,500 pupils. Classes are being staffed by trainee teachers, classroom assistants and outside specialists in subjects like languages rather than staff with Qualified Teacher Status.

STAY-at-home mums will be better off under a massive shake-up of state pensions to be unveiled this week.  Years raising a family will finally be recognised with a flat-rate £144 weekly payment for all. Four million self-employed workers also win.

      <description><![CDATA[THE BBC has banned bananas at their new £1billion headquarters. Posters have been put up warning colleagues not to eat them at work. This was requested by a journalist who said she could suffer a fatal reaction if she came into contact with a banana. So where will it all end? Fruit? Nuts? Cadburys chocolate?

THE Railways Minister commutes to work in a chauffeur-driven CAR — at a cost of £80,000-a-year. Instead of suffering overcrowded trains, Tory Simon Burns is ferried on an 80-mile round-trip from his home to his Westminster office at taxpayers’ expense. We both feel strongly about this but what about those reading the report?

A QUARTER of mums turn off heating so they can afford FOOD for their kids according to a new survery. Millions more use layers of extra clothes or blankets to keep power bills down. Didn't we do this when we were young?

India's prime minister called for calm  after clashes erupted between police and demonstrators protesting about a gang rape in the country's capital. "We will make all possible efforts to ensure security and safety to all women in this country," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said. "I appeal to all concerned citizens to maintain peace and calm."  We feel strongly about this as obviously do thousands in India and around the world.

WAR hero Andy Reid last night told of his joy at becoming a dad after losing THREE limbs. Andy, 36, feared he would never be able to have children because of the terrible injuries he suffered when he stepped on a Taliban booby-trap in Afghanistan. We salute this great dad.

At least 1,500 people have sued over a lost limb, 2,860 for brain damage and 809 over being blinded, official figures show. One comment on the website said, "maybe we should rename it the International Health Service...we seem to spend more on bloody foreigners getting treatment free and paying for immigrants to work in the service than anywhere else in the world........no wonder we have have a national lottery.......when you go itno hospital if your number comes up they carry you out."

UK POLICE spend just EIGHT MINUTES in every hour on frontline duties — despite a Government pledge to cut paperwork. New research shows they are out on patrol for only 11.8 per cent of their working day. On a typical 12-hour shift, an officer will spend just one hour and 25 minutes “visible and available” to the public. This prompted one comment from the website, "Just remember that the bobby writing up the paperwork that it is required by law in order to obtain a criminal conviction has to keep in mind that it may be used as evidence in a court.  There it might be scrutinised word by word by the highly trained legal mind of a lawyer or QC, educated and now probably being paid for at public expense.

COST-cutting minister Eric Pickles is under fire after his department, The Communities and Local Government office, blew  £42,225 of taxpayers’ cash on snacks in just seven months. One comment on the website said, "snacks shd be paid out of salaries not expenses , no businesses paid for my snacks , even had pay from wages for coffee too , why do you fat barstards claim expenses for free food and drinks , other employess have pay from there wages / salaries , this is so wrong"

FRAUD detectives were yesterday probing the secret world of the freemasons  over the mysterious disappearance of £110,000 in funds. Horrified members of the society called in police after finding all its lodges in Essex were unable to pay their VAT bill. The meeting places are run from Colchester Masonic Hall — where books are feared to have been cooked for years.

The meeting places are run from Colchester Masonic Hall — where books are feared to have been cooked for years. </itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>news,costa,blanca,benidorm,uk,newspapers,oci</itunes:keywords></item>

      <description><![CDATA[In the UK revellers debt will make Christmas a time of misery for millions. As families struggle to pay for gifts and food by taking out payday loans with eye-watering interest rates, Millionaire moneylender Jeffrey Weiss will be rubbing his hands in festive glee. His phenomenal multi-million pound fortune, luxury homes and fleet of expensive cars are all built on profits from the controversial short-term loans. Meanwhile,  across the country the start of the Christmas break was celebrated by many hitting bars, pubs and clubs in a big way. Despite the appalling weather, partygoers were determined to let their hair down and get into the festive spirit. In several towns and cities young women were snapped in skimpy Santa outfits undeterred by the pouring rain. But in some places the booze flowed a bit too freely, and violence erupted in several parts. Also, hundreds of people faced a miserable Christmas in rescue centres last night after being forced to flee their flood-hit homes. And thousands more fear they could join them, with torrential rain forecast for at least another TWO days. Festive travel plans were also plunged into chaos. Rail passengers were told not to use trains in the SOUTH-WEST and WALES because of flooded tracks — and driving conditions were hazardous.  In Spain thousands of people marched in 55 cities across the country on Monday... ....protesting against the government’s failure to keep its promise and link pensions to the inflation rate – among a long list of other complaints.

“END THE VIOLENCE”  On TV, in movies, and video games. This is where our society and especially our children see violence, where they are desensitized to it, and where it is glorified as POWER. That is what these mass shooters want and need, to show that they have power. This will give them the recognition they need.........Amodeus
et us not lose sight of how this was simply a demented and deadly person, akin to those we have seen throughout history.  Others may see that the murderer played video games or used a gun for his weapon and think the blame lies there.  It is a fallacy; not far removed from reasoning that since he drank water and breathed oxygen that must have made him kill. Mr Clarity
How about we stop drugging children with the phony attention disorders? And if schools truly need to drug the hell out of children to make their job easier, then watch those who have been prescribed the drugs. They are the ones that become school shooters. Courtney.

The murderess has moved into the flat with stunning sea views in an idyllic Cornish fishing village.
