Mobile Phones and other bits

The Crown Prosecution service wants people who use mobile phones whilst driving to be sent to prison. It seems abit draconian, as burglars, thieves, robbers etc do not always get that sentance. As an ex police officer my opinion and that of many officers is not very favourable towards the CPS. Yes, using the mobile is wrong when driving. Is any phone call really that important.

My son has been at Pulse Radio again today, and after Xmas will be reading the news for five days. His Japanese girlfriend seems to be settling quite well with us, and is enjoying the build up to Xmas.

Today at the estate agents I had five properties for viewing. Its quite nice looking round other peoples properties. Tomorrow I am day off from work, then just Saturday to work before Xmas.

I see the three Guantanamo Bay British residents have been released for US military custody. One is wanted in Spain, and is back in custody under an International Warrant. He may be going to Spain, to answer matters there. It remains to be seen if the Government will allow them to reside in this country, as none of the three are British citizens.

Finally it looks like a Briton is going to be released from the US where he has been on Death Row for 20 years. Apparently he was at one stage one hour from execution, having had his hair shaved etc. prior to the electric chair. His conviction has been ruled unsafe, and he has pleaded no contest to manslaughter instead. He is expected back in Britain soon. Lucky fellow!!
