Britain's Cure For Economic Slow Down



In the UK, our Government is a bit backwards when it comes to helping the economy, helping the pound sterling or battling knife crime, but this perhaps the stupidest one yet.
"Now it is time to put Britain back in the fast lane of global economies and look again at the motorway speed limit which is nearly 50 years old, and out of date thanks to huge advances in safety and motoring technology," Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said.
The speed limit on Britain's motorways is 70 miles per hour (120 kph), lower than in many countries in continental Europe.
"Increasing the motorway speed limit to 80 mph would generate economic benefits of hundreds of millions of pounds through shorter journey times. So we will consult later this year on raising the limit to get Britain moving," Hammond said.
The government is seeking ways to boost a faltering economy without breaking with its austerity plans.
Its "drive faster" plan was condemned by environmentalists who said it would lead to increased oil consumption and carbon emissions. Hammond said he was confident higher speeds would have only a marginal effect on road safety.

Fifa Cheif Gives 2-Cents On Tevez



When will these footballers learn that acting like a jackass will only get you in trouble?! Manchester City striker, Carlos Tevez is the latest player to be at war in football, this time with the biggest people in the game; Fifa.

Fifa President, Jim Boyce believes Tevez should be banned for his behavior in Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich last night (Tuesday 27th September).

Tevez refused to come on as a substitute to the disgust and confusion of City Manager; Roberto Manchini and City fans alike. The striker had issued a statement this morning claiming he had not refused to play for the club.

When approached with the direct question by Sky Sports as to what should be done with Tevez and termination of his contract, Boyce simply responded;  "Without a shadow of doubt. I don't think you can have someone at a club who has refused to go on the field of play, no matter who they are.

A Gamblers Worst Nightmare - Legend Opossum Dies


Germany’s cross-eyed opossum, Heidi has died this afternoon at the age of 3 and half years old.
The creature that made its first public appearance on American TV this June predicting Oscar winners sadly died of old age. The star of Leipzig Zoo became a national treasure in December of last year after her photo was published worldwide in Bild newspaper.



"We did everything possible to find the cause of her immobility," Leipzig Zoo Director Joerg Junhold said in the statement.

Heidi is the third celebrity animal to pass away in Germany this year, Knut the polar bear, who became internationally famous as a cub when Berlin zoo hand-reared him, dired after an epileptic fit in March this year.

Last October, Paul the octopus died at the age of two. He made headlines in 2010 after correctly predicting the results of each of Germany's World Cup football matches and accurately tipping Spain to beat the Netherlands in the final.

It’s a gambler’s worst nightmare for big events like the World Cup and the Oscars and here’s hoping the German Wild Life will produce another predicting animal that will surely have the bookies panicking.
