A lot to get through today and so little time.

An Arizona rancher is being sued for "civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other crimes" by a group of illegal aliens he apprehended crossing his property and then handed over to the Border Patrol. Amazingly, their suit has not been laughed out of court.

Here in Britain a foster mother has been struck off the register after a 16 year old Muslim girl in her care converted to Christianity. Officials declared that she should have tried to prevent the girl's baptism and they have- incredibly- banned the now 17 year old from attending church for six months. How they intend to enforce that is beyond me- so much for freedom of religion.

British police have set up a new secret unit to deal with domestic extremists- and to collect "secret data". Worryingly, they seem intent on using "legal proceedings" to keep details of their operations secret from the public. So, now the UK actually has a secret police- one that will report directly to the government without any public oversight.

A video has been released of Polish hostage Piotr Stanczak being beheaded by Pakistani Taliban scum.

Brit PM Gordon Brown has added his voice to calls for a local council to allow a Royal Marine who lost both his legs fighting in Afghanistan to build a home in the grounds of his grandparent's house. The council claimed that the wounded Marine's circumstances "are not considered sufficient to warrant an exception to the usual restraint policies". I would love to hear what they normally consider to be an acceptable exception.
