COURT COPY – Intro to Newsroom

HORRIFIC details were disclosed to juries today as the rape case against Ian Peters and Toby Peters commenced at Winchester Crown Court.

Father Ian Peters, 48 and his son Toby Peters now 22 were charged with rape and two counts of indecent assault on two girls on April 11th 2007.

Ian Peters was quizzed by Prosecution solicitor Miss Kerry Maylin, who suggested that he: “ forced the eldest child to take part in sexual intercourse against her will.”

The vulnerable children who were only aged 6 and 8 lived with their mother and her partner Ian Paters before his son moved in around March 1999.

Allegations also surrounded Toby Peters who has been accused by both girls of rape during his one year stay at their home when he was just 15 yrs old.

While looking petrified Toby Peters told the  juries that he was innocent of the allegations against him, the police constable who arrested him told his Honour Judge A Barnett that: “ Toby Peters was confused when we arrested him but very cooperative with our investigations.”

The two victim’s evidence was played to the court room via a video at the beginning of the case; however with such an immense time elapsed from when the alleged incident took place there is no forensic evidence for the prosecution to use.

Mr Ian Peters and Toby Peter’s deny the charges against them as their trial continues.

‘Vulnerable people will roam the country like in Mad Max’

‘Vulnerable people will roam the country like in Mad Max’, this was the headliner used in an article written by the Guardian newspaper on Friday 21st October 2005 after a report was issued warning that the government’s support of the homeless housing programme is in danger of failing the vulnerable people it was put in place to protect. The government cut £1.72bn from the programme.

It emerged that the cut backs the government have done to the programmes means they have already closed down many services across the country and the trend is set to continue. Peter Kegg the association chief executive of Bournemouth Churches Housing Association warned; that more cut backs on funding for homeless hostels would force homeless people to roam the streets of the country like the lawless gangs in Mad Max films.

Connection between Kanye West & Frederic Nietzsche

There is a valid connection between the famous artist Kanye West and the German Philosopher Frederic Nietzsche, and it is in the form of Kanye West 2007 hit ‘Stronger’.

 Within the song there is a line saying: “That dont kill me can only make me stronger”. This comes from Frederic Nietzsche’s quote “what does not kill me make me stronger” taken from his ‘Twilight of the Idols’. The song ‘Stronger’ references to Nietzsche and Charles Darwin and also “God”.

Archbishops of Canterbury row – should he resign?

There is so much high controversy surrounding Dr Rowan Williams the past weeks over his sensational claims that aspects of Sharia law should be inter-grated with British law, upon inspection of a tabloid newspaper: The Sun on Monday 11Th Feb 2008 i saw a very good point made. This was pointing out that Christan beliefs would contradict Sharia religious beliefs within this certain country, and that Sharia law allowed the deaths of people in certain situations whereas Christian law i.e. God forbids this. Its quite a bizarre story to hit the headlines in these current months but one that shouldn’t be taken with a 2nd glance, its a hot subject with the political wars still in full force within Iraq and Afghanistan. Many people believe its ridiculous and that the thought of incorporating this within Britain was a recipe for disaster, this notion was backed up by Lord George Carey the previous Archbishop of Canterbury. He feared that it would be a direct challenge to British values, this blunder has caused the biggest crisis for the Anglian Church in recent years.

 But should he be forced to quit?

Many say he should including church leaders and Tory MP Mark Pritchard, however even though clearly against his remarks standing by his side was Lord Carey who says he shouldn’t be sacked for his mishap over this comment. In my personal opinion i think its shameful that it was even thought up let alone spoken about by someone who is one of the top and first for most iconic signs of British religiousness in the country!!! It is just contradicting why he is doing the job in the first place. British law should stay the same, if immigrants wish to come here then fine, they are welcome to a particular % but they need to follow our rules and regulations…. we have to if we go to (sorry for this statement) but another person’s fridge. (sorry heard it on a film on Sunday and really wanted to use it LOL).

 What is you opinion on this matter??

People & Politics – Week 1 – 5th Feb 2008

I am writing this message after my first lecture and seminar on People and Poltics from the Journalism course. Well if i am being honest, i did find it very boring, i am not a huge fam of the Monarchy and politics; however when it directly involves me i will. I like politics but i dont like all the boring old long winded facts about who is in power, what minister does what etc etc….

It did raise a question in my mind though, when Chris said about there is still 1 law that a person can be killed for and that is when a man sleeps with the Kings wife he can be killed… but isn’t the UK being ruled by a Queen atm? So i am thinking… does it still stand if a woman sleeps with her husband can they be held on treason charges? lol. I didnt want to ask im the lecture i thought it was a stupid question, but the more i think about it the more i want to know.

I did enjoy the blog seminar though, i have heard about blogs but i didnt know where to do it but i love it! lol CCS codes where i come! ….
