£20,000 trial for stealing a banana.

Martin Lindop, the district crown prosecutor for Birmingham, said: "It is not the cost of the item that determines whether we proceed with a prosecution, but whether there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest."In this case, we felt that there was sufficient evidence and it was in the public interest for the prosecution to proceed."

i think that douchebag needs a new job.

"In World War I, the ratio of soldiers to civilians killed was 10 to one.
In World War II it became 50-50, and today the figures are almost reversed - up to 10 civilians killed for every one soldier. "

That's a scary article:

It's all lies. They're just trying to deflect attention from the Aussies and Germans.

More than a quarter said they ended up drinking three times more than normal
