I see he claims it was just 'a playful tiff'. I wonder in what other ways he playfully assaults her?
I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,236
Christ, The Sun is desperate today.
As Al Murray would say 'Broken Britain.'
'Meanwhile, Tesco chiefs today said that more than 5,000 people applied for the 275 new jobs at the store.'
I suppose this means the jobless aren't all lazy bastards after all, Mr Dacre.
Alien Mother: Whitby Councillor Simon Parkes Describes Extra-Terrestrial Upbringing
Sara C NelsonHuffington Post UKMar 27, 2012
A Labour politician claims he was abducted by extra-terrestrials as a child and that his "real mother" is a 9ft tall alien with eight fingers.
Simon Parkes, a Labour member elected to Whitby town council, recounted his experiences in a video shown on YouTube.
The clip is part of the Anomalous Mind Management, Abductee, Contactee Helpline Project, which encourages people to come forward with their apparently unexplainable experiences.
He speaks of his first encounter which occurred while he in the womb, then tells of a being which appeared by his cot when he was six-months-old and reached out to him with "these two green 'stick things, like beanpoles'."
He continued: "I thought, 'they're not mummy's hands, mummy's hands are pink', and mummy has thumbs. These are green and pointed and there's four of them.'
"I was looking straight into its face. It enters my mind through my eyes and it sends a message down my optic nerve into my brain, saying 'I am your real mother, I am your more important mother'."
The 52-year-old described the extra-terrestrial as having "human features" with a kite-shaped face, huge eyes, two tiny holes for a nose and a thin mouth.
He claims to have had another encounter three-years-later, and further experience at the age of 11, where Parkes claims his "real mother" returned to take him on board an alien craft.
He said: "I'm only telling you what I've seen, they could be lying to me. The reason why extra-terrestrials are interested in me is not because of my physical body but what's inside - my soul.
"These reptiles are guilty as hell. They have apologised several times to me. They have said they are sorry for what they have done to your people."
Parkes, who was a councillor in Hackney during the 1990s, said his experiences have not hindered his work.
He said: "It's a personal matter and it doesn't affect my work. I'm more interested in fixing someone's leaking roof or potholes. People don't want me to talk about aliens.
"I get more common sense out of the aliens than out of Scarborough Town Hall."
Fellow councillor Terry Jennison told the Yorkshire Post: "I am completely in the dark about this."
You left out the part about him fathering a lovechild with an alien and that his wife was not best pleased about this! I watched the programme the other night, utter cobblers.

News item on R4 this AM about rural poverty and the increasing use of food-banks.
Interviewing one woman who said when things got tough she had to check her cupboards and if all there was was a tin of potatoes, that was it for their meal...
Tinned potatoes?
At about three times the price of fresh potatoes, probably not the smartest shopping choice.

Darwinism. She'll starve and die. Then I suppose you'll be happy, Lazzard!

Thrilled, if I'm honest.
I'd rather starve than eat tinned spuds.
Don't tinned spuds last longer? This woman might need to eke six months of meals out of that single tin.

Not once they're opened....

The Te*co Value ones are about 19p per tin, not much more than fresh potatoes and the ones in the tin do not go mouldy or grow roots or turn poisonously green.
Tins are great for some things, like tomatoes, but less good for things like meat, where the contents can be distinctly dubious; but I don't want open that can of worms.

Does that chat-up line ever work?
