One of the comments - "So if someoneis murdered, robbed, etc in Devon/Cornwall, do the police come down heavy on them as well? I'm getting the feeling I already know the answer if they're too busy dealing with trivial **** like this."

The Telegraph

One of the comments - "It is truly pathetic is it not. What a bunch of morons - disgraceful when in power and pathetic when in opposition. Who, apart from his paid cronies, gives two monkeys about his wedding."

Daily Star

At least I hope this is an April Fool...

A quote - Late last night, reports suggested that David Cameron was preparing a counter-offer, of £200m, to persuade Ronaldo to play for England. "The Premier League is where Ronaldo became a star," said the Prime Minister, "so it is only right and proper he should play for England." He added that Vince Cable had proposed a "Ferrari tax" to pay for it.

Unfortunately nobody has fallen for it in the comments yet, but it is surely only a matter of time

"... Paolo Fril, professor of political economics at Lisbon University ..."

Paolo Fril == April Fool

I think you can be assured this one is a hoax!
 
shame the Ryanair one is a joke. Having just endured 11 hours of annoying kids and their ****wit parents on a flight back from LA I would be first in line to fly on child free planes.

never mind discounts / cheaper fares for kids they should be made to pay extra for the additional work that they create.

Aye, seconded.
 
The Daily Telegraph had a good ad from Land Rover, a tax disc that levels it's self to save a Parking Warden from having to angle their head to read the disc when parked on the side of a slope.
