Australian court imposes generalized news blackout on bribery case.

In Great Britain and some of its former colonies, courts can not only ban the coverage of some events but are also entitled to dispose a general ban. That's what happened in Australia recently.

No wonder that the USA is after Julian Assange, a well known leader of such a terrorist group like WikiLeaks.

As I live in Australia, I have obviously never heard of these bans.
Could you give me a source?

Can I remid jax and anyone else to remember their school geography days.

This country of Great Britain is an ISLAND and when you look at in comparison with the rest of this motley, corrupt and messed up EEC a big difference. At (Senior) Secondary school the population was 48,000,000 now it is well into the 60's and we now pas the Netherlands on that score proprtionally.Every time I listen to some would-be liberal democratic mind they wax lyrical about how we have always had a welcoming immigration tradtion. Yeah but we had more room and under the last thing that passed for a government we got an increase 10 figures aloneand still getting them.

In top of living on a compact island the invasion has completely changed towns and cities like no previous modest ones. When the would be intellectuals at the same time go on about pressures on schools, colleges, utilties and welfare they suitably put aside the swamping and the effect on government expenditure.

As for the EEC it is a shambles, inefficient, controlling freak and a repeated and messed if failed economic system. It has now lasted for ages and we are doing economically better so thank heavens we kept the pound. And how does the EEC government get away with not being able to get auditors to pass the adit due to inefficiencies and less legal reasons? Any company doing that would be shut down  or an idndivual country expect a determined response.

Toi try and cock a snook due to the direction of incomers another thing missed out by the nonsense is that we also get floods from countries not even in the damn Europe disaster called the EEC. When younger I voted against joining the Common Market as it was originally because I suspected it would lead to something worse and by heck it has! We didn't get asked did we just told and time to deal with that.  For me no more people on this little island and get out of that EEC. It is as corrupt as Hell and the world is our oyster as we have shown. Their economies are struggling for years in Europe and now even German industry is moaning at it's government because those stupid things against Russia is effecting them. Been in 3 European countries on holiday and pleasant enough but don't want to share laws, economics (as they get messed up) just want out!

We can easily check the Dutch CBS statistics online, in English even. Population density can be found at the very bottom of the table. For convenience, 1950: 309, 1960: 352, 1970: 384, 1980: 415, 1990: 439, 2012: 468, 2013: 496.

The UK ONS statistics are a bit harder to find, but the census will do.

Quote from: Population and Household Estimates for the United Kingdom, March 2011
In England the average population density was 407 people per square kilometre, in Wales it was 148 people, in Northern Ireland 134 people and in Scotland 68 people per square kilometre.


This tells us that the last time Dutch population density was as low as England's was sometime in the 1970s, contrary to some unsourced suggestions. Not to mention that England is not typically taken by itself. Did you know that the population density in Holland* is easily over 1100?

* Holland is to The Netherlands as England is to the UK.

I always called Holland to... Holland. Sometimes we refer to the " Low Countries" but as an indistinct denomination from Holland.

Scotland seems rather empty to me.

The Low Countries (or historical Netherlands) include the entire Benelux as well as Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Artois and Picardie north of the Somme. :P Blame the greedy French and the bloodthirsty Spanish. :devil:

You must be joking. Countries?? 3??? don't make me laugh. :)
Holland basically is the product of those walls against the seas. If not that, you'd be smaller than Lichtenstein.
Ahh, and you can thank the Portuguese Jews we kicked out of here.
Blame the greedy French and the bloodthirsty Spanish.

That I agree, unlike them we never tried to civilize northern barbarians... a waste of time.

Britain’s most popular baby boy’s name? Muhammad

Quote
Muhammad has become the most popular name for baby boys in the UK, the website BabyCentre has revealed. While Arabic names are on the rise, TV shows such as Game Of Thrones have also inspired names for the next generation.

Yeah, I noticed this sad news and only emphasises what I say about the future here and am selfish in saying I am glad I will not be here by mid-century. By the end of it would not be surprised if they demanded a Muslim for King. Breeding like flies and as much use.

That appears to be questionable. This gets it's info from the official UK statistics for births.

Note the last paragraph in The Guardian article.
Quote
This article was amended on 1 December 2014 to make clear that the claim that Muhammad is the most popular name for boys is based on a survey of website users.
Official data is a completely different animal than a survey. However, claiming Muhammad is the most popular baby name in the UK will get you more clicks, despite the dubiousness of the methodology used to obtain the poor excuse for data.

[glow=black,2,300]Ebola case confirmed in Glasgow Hospital[/glow]




Quote from:      BBC         http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-30628349  


A healthcare worker who has just returned from West Africa has been diagnosed with Ebola and is being treated in hospital in Glasgow.

The woman, who arrived from Sierra Leone on Sunday night, is in isolation at Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital.

All possible contacts with the case are being investigated, including on flights to Scotland via Heathrow.

The woman will be transferred to specialist high level isolation in London as soon as possible.

At a news conference in Glasgow, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stressed that the risk to the general public was very low.

She added that the patient was thought to have had contact with only one other person since arriving in the city, but that all passengers on the flights the woman took will be traced.

Alisdair MacConachie, of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said the woman was "not showing any great clinical concern".

Nicola Sturgeon: Ebola risk 'extremely low'

NHS Scotland said infectious diseases procedures had been put into effect at the Brownlee Unit for Infectious Diseases at Gartnavel.

The patient returned to Scotland from Sierra Leone late on Sunday via Casablanca and London Heathrow, arriving into Glasgow Airport on a British Airways flight at about 23:30.

While public health experts have emphasised that the risks are negligible, a telephone helpline has been set up for anyone who was on the BA 1478 Heathrow to Glasgow flight. The number is: 08000 858531



If you carefully read the second part of that last sentence, the infection is probably spreading as you read this being they actually don't know, or haven't been in contact with everyone who might of had contact with the disease on that flight or in either airport.

Jot down that number RJ ...... Then again, ya can hold your breath for 21 days ta be sure.  

Frequent updates Here.

Well depending on the Guardian is fine for the would-be intellectual minds and has been declining for ages.

Anyway SmileyFaze I am completely unconcerned about the matter of the Glaswegian health worker because it is not serious. In the early part of the 20th century millions died of 'Flue so a heck of a lot worse than this Ebola stuff which is over the top. And may I say too that we will not go into the panic you lot did over the pond when you had someone caught with it. Always the same with emotional panic buttons. You could learn maturity from us.  8)

It will be found to be a load of cobblers as things progress. There was a programme recently on television here of late teen American girls brought over to meet who they thought was Prince Harry. It was all a spoof but the girls were all believing the thing so says something. I also understand that a well known US lawyer involved in the claims is taking the perpetrators of the myth to court. The Prince is not directly involved in the case legally anyway and 17 is not an under age here as it happens.

Nice headline material but keech.
