We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Will Ingrid Betancourt be next ?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday May 06, 2003 16:22author by joe raniiauthor email joeranii at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

Colombian society is today united in horror at the mass slaying of ten FARC kidnap victims. Two of these were prominent politicians who had spent a year in FARC dungeons, having been kidnapped while leading a peace march ! The rest were soldiers (no Geneva Convention for the FARC !). Friends and relatives of Ingrid Betancourt, kidnapped Green Party leader, are reported to be in panic at the prospect that Ingrid too may soon be liquidated by the FARC murder machine

From AP:

Marxist rebels kill 10 hostages in Colombia

Colombian Marxist rebels have killed a provincial governor, a former defence minister and eight soldiers they were holding prisoner.

The bodies of Antioquia Province Governor Guillermo Gaviria and former defence minister Gilberto Echeverri and the eight captive soldiers were found by security forces, military and government officials told Reuters.

The dead were among about 80 prisoners, including soldiers, congressmen, a presidential candidate and three US civilian Defence Department contractors, who the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)wanted to exchange for jailed guerrillas.
