It’s no wonder Boris’s deputy had to resign if this is the sort of behaviour the two of them were prepared to get up to in public.

#You saw the whole of the moon (and you didn't know what it was)

Police called out to a 999 call about an unexplained object in the night sky solved the mystery straight away for their operator—“It’s the Moon, over.”

But the emergency call meant the officers were sent out to a house in the valleys area of south Wales. They were told a “bright stationary object” was spotted above the unnamed caller’s home.

A recording of the call has been released as part of a police campaign asking people to use 999 appropriately. [BBC]

UK is sending 11,000 Mugabe refugees back

Attempts by Gordon Brown to use a meeting of G8 leaders this week to campaign for tougher action against Zimbabwe are in danger of being undermined by claims that Britain is forcing as many as 11,000 Zimbabweans seeking refuge here to make a stark choice between destitution or returning home to possible torture or death. Letters obtained by The Observer show that the Home Office continues to order failed Zimbabwean asylum seekers to return home in the face of mounting violence.

“These letters are shameful,” said Donna Covey, chief executive of the Refugee Council. “It is appalling that the government is continuing to order Zimbabweans to go back to Zimbabwe, especially under the current circumstances, and basically leaving them to starve if they don’t.” [Guardian]
