Egg thrown at Kelly outside court

Education Secretary Ruth Kelly was struck with an egg as she left a court on Monday after the case of a protester who had targeted her previously. Ms Kelly was hit on the head with the egg outside Salford Magistrates' Court. Greater Manchester Police charged Michael Downes, 43, of Foxfield Road, Wythenshawe, Manchester with common assault on Monday evening.

Mr Downes, sir I salute you.

This passed my radar last week, but I stuck it on the back burner to see if an oak would grow, to mix metaphors. The idea of The Pipeline Card is strength in numbers. A discount has it seems already been negotiated with a major petrol retailer and the idea is thus - we buy our petrol from them and get a discount of up to 5p a litre. May be a utopian dream but what have you got to lose by registering? Channel 4 News have picked up on it so it might just be a goer. Sign up and see.
