Two million British people say “No” to a decision to go to War based on false evidence and the Government of the day ignores them. The 2nd Gulf War started on March 20th 2003 and went on for 8 years. 8 years of death and destruction on all sides – military and civilian, including, according to some sources, over 100,000 civilian deaths.

A young and hirsute Rooney!  Just the sort of article you’d usually look back on and say, “I wonder where she is now?” In fact they married in 2008. All together now, “Aaaah.”

You can tell a classic scandal story by the inclusion of phases like ‘Love cheat’, ‘shamed TV star’ and ‘cocaine-fuelled sex session’.
A quick look at the Internet Movie Database shows Deayton’s career has continued unabated.

Koo Stark and Prince Andrew’s affair happened in the early 1980’s and according to this article floundered when it ‘was revealed that she starred in a soft porn movie’. If only the Royals had had access to the Internet Movie Database at that time, they would have seen the words ‘sex farce’ in the description of her first entry; ‘illicit photographs of young girls’ in the third, ‘The Blue Film’ as the title of the fourth, ‘erotic coming-of-age film’ in the fifth, ‘thrust into a depraved world of prostitution, predatory lesbians, a fugitive murderess, bondage, branding, and one supremely sadistic monk’ in the sixth – all made before she met Prince Andrew.

No, not Germany in 1933.
As a result of the 2003 UK local elections the BNP held 16 councils seats, mostly in the North and in the West Midlands.

I once read that to get to the truth in any tabloid ‘news’ story you should read the last 2 paragraphs first. ‘Nuclear Lorry Hit’ sounds like a headline that should be on the front page until you read the phrases ‘small amount of radioactive waste’ and ‘No one was hurt’ near the end.

Sinead Quinn? A product of TV show Fame Academy. After that number 2 hit she released one more single that peaked at 19. Oasis? Never heard of them.

Some familiar names here, including the long dead Elvis Presley and (from the sublime to the ridiculous) The Cheeky Girls. The only one of these acts that I have seen live is George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
