TAKE A LOOK at life in Australia through the webpage of Melissa, which can be viewed here. Reading through Mel's profile, she's a woman who definately enjoys the high life - at such a young age too! It's not too shabby living in Sydney, working for Chanel and have a social life too... some may say jealousy and damn, you're right.

ICONS OF ENGLAND

I'm just wondering if you are aware of the ICONS website, dedicated to the icons of England... well, I ask as I'm pretty chuffed at present as I nominated the Leeds - Settle - Carlisle Railway as an Icon last week, I'm pleased to say the moderators have included the Railway on the site and my page can be viewed here!

I do hope you will all visit the Icons page and vote for the Railway, I would very much like the Railway to have the recognition it deserves.

And Finally...

Animal Rights . . . ?

On Tuesday, thirty-one animal rights activists launched a vicious attack on the East Sussex and Romney Marsh Hunt. The attack left one hunt follower in a serious condition in hospital, and several others injured.
This had nothing to do with protest or sabotage. It was a vicious and unprovoked assault by a group of mindless thugs. No more, no less. Sussex constabulary have arrested five people from London and Hertfordshire in connection with the incident.
The animal rights movement is dwindling in numbers, but is becoming increasingly extreme. Whether harassing businesses connected to the development of laboratories, threatening farmers and their families or attacking hunts, their tactics are becoming more vindictive and violent.
There is little separating thugs like these from the so-called legitimate animal rights movement. Their shared goals concentrate on hatred of people far more than any concern for animals.
We wish the young farmer who was hospitalised well and have every confidence that the police will bring his attackers to justice.

The above was a statement from Simon Hart, of the Countryside Alliance. The statement shows the so-called 'animal rights' groups are decending into chaos, largely brought on themselves, following the folly of the 'Hunting Act 2004', a legislation they pushed so hard for, only for the politicians to create a total nonsense of a law which is absolutely unworkable and a law for which even the Police have no interest in upholding. Couple this with the demonstration in favour of an animal testing laboratory in Oxford at the weekend and I think we see what kind of people these 'animal lovers' really are.
