Reggie, you always slate what other papers report but what makes you so sure that the Tabloid Watch is telling the truth ?

I wish I had the time to Google everything I wanted. I've just spent about 4 hours trying to book a single flight but a double room. There's still a lot to be said for travel agents.

9 years old is old enough for him to be taught that attitudes like his will not be tolerated. He should have had bamboo splinters forced under his fingernails and then be strangled to death very slowly with piano wire. This would send a strong message to the others that anti-Nazi attitudes are unacceptable.

Actually it never does fail to surprise me how most of society percieves it as hateful to discriminate against an indian or black man (and quite rightly so it should not have taken us whites so long throughout the centuries to have accepted our neighbours whether due to their religion, skin colour or class status - it's all inconsequential, we are all the same) however it is perfectly acceptable - it would appear - to use racist abuse against German's or the Welsh. I saw a lot of this as a holiday rep. Whilst genuinely reps are perceived to be fun loving types who interact with all (not in that way oo er) I even saw supervisors say rude things about germans and thought "but why is this ok?" "Surely this is racist and pre-judging as much as anything?"

People will always use something to excuse their behaviour, their prejudice against others - in this case the war, which was well over 65 years ago now - get over it!! For fuck sake we don't even go on about the world cup that much!

It's just sad they have had to use a little boy as a scapegoat instead of actually bothering to educate scoiety. I feel for his family now who will now probably face a tirade of abuse directed at his naive and innocent game of soldiers.

I'm going to Copenhagen. The problem is---- I'm flying from the UK and I'm meeting my girlfriend who's flying in from elsewhere. So two single flights but one double room. I use Expedia a lot and they seem to think that a single flight just needs a single room. I've e-mailed the hotel separately so hopefully it should be sorted now.
