CAN WE BE CHOOSERS?

An NHS nurse has apparently found herself in trouble for offering to say a prayer for one of her patients.

What are we coming to? We feel certain that if a nurse volunteered to pray for us we'd be jolly glad.  It wouldn't matter if the nurse was Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Chinese, Buddhist or Hindu, or of any other belief for that matter. Surely if someone offers to pray for you, it should be accepted in the kind manner in which it was made.

A Peer's Claims & a Pensioner's Income - Taste the Difference!!!

We set out below an item published by the Daily Express on Wednesday 26th January:-

"£400,000 EXPENSES FOR PEER

A PEER who allegedly offered to bend laws in return for large amounts of cash has claimed nearly £400,000 of taxpayers' money in expenses.

Lord Taylor of Blackburn took the cash between 2001 and 2008, claiming nearly £168,000 for overnight stays at up to £165.50 a night.

He also claimed nearly £72,000 for day subsistence to cover meals and cab fares at up to £82.50 a day. His main travel bill totalled £70,500 including £9,722 in 2006-07 for flights.

He is one of four Labour peers who deny operating a cash-for-influence racket at the Lords.

A tape has him saying that he could earn up to £100,000 a year from working for companies. Justice Secretary Jack Straw was criticised by sleaze watchdogs for delaying declaring a £3,000 donation from an energy firm, made via Taylor."

A WEEKLY PENSION NOW STANDS AT APPROXIMATELY £97 PER WEEK.
