    Good Solid Bike for £150?

    Good Solid Bike for £150? I want to get a bike - pref a mountain bike - not for serious offroading, just for general cycling around.

    BNP debate - why no mention of the projected 76million population in our lifetimes?

    It got a brief mention (though not 76m - that's just your figure), but many things didn't get a look in. The Economy, the recession, bankers, the environment, the EU etc etc. It's only 1 hour.

    Tiffany Wright, three, was starved to death by her mother, who then left her body in a bedroom for nearly three days. The little girl had not eaten or drunk anything for 20 hours and was found in a filthy bed, in a room infested with beetles. The judge described it as "about as bad a case of...

    Who thinks the news that British born families will now get priority over

    The idea that immigrants and asylum seekers get preferential housing from the government is a complete fallacy. I'd like to see you present some facts and figures on this, as opposed to "a story". Firstly, just being a regular immigrant entitles you to nothing. You have to rent privately or...
