Hang on...shouldn't it be the seven year olds facing the whip? That would be much more appropriate.

The poor woman initiated a school project about a teddy bear and now she's incarcerated and facing the prospect of being lashed.

I read about this in the Metro.

The page three story was about a dog who ate underwear.

He had to have an operation but I think he's okay now, basking in the limelight!

I know, right? She's a mum! But these police are unscrupulous, they took the teddy in as evidence and hauled a seven-year-old girl in for questioning over the matter.

They should whip the teddy.

After all, that little bastard is swaggering about telling all and sundry he's the Prophet. Such a cocky wee fluffball.

So, they have charged her now.

The Sudanese ambassador in London was on the radio basically implying that she had brought this on herself through "insensitivity".

Corrupt fundamentalist government is trying to make a point, I think.

I reckon she might be let off, as a way of showing "leniency and fairness" from a government which was/is instrumental in the genocide and warfare in Darfur and beyond and are wanted for trial on war crimes. Damn, that country has been absolutely ravaged.
