on Teachers strike over pupils' discipline -
Good for them. About time a teachers' union went on strike over something sensible.

on For the love of God... scientists in uproar at £1m religion prize
"There's a distinct feeling in the research community that Templeton just gives the award to the most senior scientists they can find who's willing to say something nice about religion."
Gosh, what a horrible thing to do- give someone a prize because they are nice. The idiots who complain about this obviously see science and religion as enemies. Silly, really, as science cannot answer a single religious question any more than religion can answer a scientific one.

on Scientists fear creationist teaching is set to creep into more classrooms
Why just creationism? Why not astrology and alchemy? At least teach the controversies. As a Jedi (Britain's 4th largest religion) I think we also need to teach kids about "the force."

on Divided and disorganised, Libyan rebel military turn on Nato allies
Yep. We can't win on our own. We asked for your protection, but we wanted you to do the fighting for us. As it seems clear you won't do that, you must be bad guys.

on Minister: tell us your fears about NHS reforms – but we might not listen
Well, if my kids had fears about going to school, I listened - but I didn't change the requirement that they go to school.

on High Court hears torture payout claim
If the government were liable for torture, we'd have sued them as they doubled government spending over the last 10 years.

on British Museum hopes to clean up with the 'Holy towel of Jesus'
Nice to see the Museum is getting into the Zeitgeist - raise attendance by displaying a fruad. What's next, Muhammed's washcloth? Bhudda's hankie?
