Nepal: Propaganda Masquerading As Philanthropy

Daily Mail.

Interesting priority to get IDF soldiers to fly out around 30 babies in military aircraft when elsewhere the Mail say over a million people have been affected by the earthquake.

If only Israel cared so very, very much about Palestinian children.

Surrogacy: It's A Family Affair

Daily Mail.

At the time of typing Mail Online readers are surprisingly supportive...

I don't get what the big deal is? It's not his mothers egg that was fertilized by his sperm, so there's technically no 'blood relation'? She was merely the "oven" for the "bun", the capsule for the fetus to grow in? I see absolutely nothing wrong with this situation at all. If my son was gay and could not conceive a child on his own, or even if he wasn't gay, but couldn't find a woman to carry his child, I would do the same thing for him. A mother's love for her son is undeniable and I'm betting that 90% of the mothers reading this article would do the same.

PS However Mail columnist, Amanda Platell, thinks it's disgusting...

It is a story so unusual, it's almost hard to get your head around it — and one that, quite frankly, leaves me feeling deeply queasy...

Etc etc etc...

The Gay Dads: Rich Kids

The "Gay Dads" - Tony and Barrie Drewitt-Barlow - are the subject of a Channel 4 documentary tomorrow night, My Weird and Wonderful Family.
The media have always been fascinated by Mr and Mr Drewitt-Barlow and their brood - coverage is usually ever so polite, but you know deep down to them it's a freak show.
They were interviewed in The Guardian on Saturday; "So it seems not everyone is comfortable with the Drewitt-Barlows, who appear larger than life in every direction. It's not just that they have kids, they have five kids; it's not just that they are rich, they are millionaires."
And they estimate they've spent £1million on creating their family.
Though Fagburn suspects a lot of peoples' real problem with the "millionaire gay couple" is not that they're gay, or even gay dads.
They're something far, far worse for Middle Englanders; nouveau riche.
The documentary comes at a rather unfortunate time for these self-made gay men.
Their local paper, Maldon Standard, reports that last week they were both banned from running companies for eight years.
"Proceedings were brought against them by the Insolvency Service after an investigation uncovered that they had made payments totalling £243,704 to H2O Haircare, which had done no work for the company, leading to creditors missing out."
Their main company, Euroderm Research, was wound up in March 2008 with debts of £542,540.
