WITH regard to Ken Oxley’s column last week, Jehovah’s Witnesses do use many fractions and components of blood, so if it's “sacred” to God why the hypocritical contradiction? Read

Where is lost prince?

HAS anyone else noticed that Prince Edward was not with his mother at the Cenotaph to pay his respects, especially with all the lads killed recently in Iraq? Read

Hands off our Derwent Tower homes

EVERYONE has their opinion, but can I remind you that people still live in Derwent Tower, not “The Rocket”? Also, as yet, they do not know if it will come down or be developed. Read
