POPSBaby P: the evidence grows Labour will close Parliament early and stay on holiday longer. We are in an economic crisis of Gordon Brown's making. A child murdered and it appears easier to have save his life than let it expire, but all we will get is another useless inquiry. If 80 head teachers think that Sharon Shoesmith is doing a good job, then perhaps they too should reflect on their competence?

POPSGovernment killing the truth It makes no difference hoe often Government spokespersons tells us Procedures were followed correctly, a child was brutally tortured and murdered and one of the few people with knowledge is being gagged. Stop spinning lies and get the truth out in Public.

POPSBrown shames the nation I am not going to show any gory pictures of this unfortunate child. Needless i say to the anti capital punishment minority, I will swing from their legs as they hang outside Haringey Town Hall. What is equally as offensive was Gordon brown's reaction as leader of this nation, to David Cameron's legitimate questions. Now Labour, defend both! And to Ssafa. This can happen under your watch as long as you think your jaunts to Luff-burra are more important than your obligation to care for ex-service men and their children under the age of 16. So come on Gen Ross, answer your personal mail and reply to the anxiety of your caseworkers. Or leave it to the incompetent minnions in your midst.

POPSThe 46 year pregnancy In an ectopic pregnancy, if the dead foetus is too large to be re-absorbed by the mother’s body it becomes a foreign body to the mother’s immune system. To protect itself from possible infection the mother’s body will encase the foetus in a calciferous substance as the tissues die and dehydrate. As the calciferous wall builds up, the foetus is gradually mummified becoming a lithopedion or stone baby.

POPSThe Humanity Since its inception, The Humanity has been giving thrust on people’s empowerment, people’s social development, pro-poor policy and sustainable approaches to development. The organization had undertaken a historic survey on status of child labor in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Kendrapara and Paradip and generated awareness on the issue by organising seminars, workshops and public meetings to stop Child Labour in Bhubaneswar in early nineties.

POPSPolice raid "baby farm" in Nigeria Unmarried mothers face exclusion from society, our correspondent says. Abortion is illegal except in rare cases, and illegally obtained abortions are very dangerous. In May, a Nigerian woman was jailed in the UK for trying to smuggle a baby into the country in order to get on the list for a council flat. Police have not been able to trace the child's real parents.

POPSTory calls for Haw to be moved on. An uncharacteristically authoritarian call by Alan Duncan to force protesters outside Parliament to be move on does nothing for the Tory party at a time when it needs to be countering growing Labour authoritarianism

POPSIs Labour buying silence? After politicising the Civil Service, this corrupt government is now financially rewarding betrayal. Betrayal of an ethos that meant the British CS was the least corrupt in the World. Who can say that this is earned when there are over 3million pensioners still not receiving their rightful benefits, when English men are being suborned into third class citizens in their own country with threats of insidious new laws that prohibit love of ones own country, where these same civil servants act as judge and jury into claims for disability from injured war heroes, these same people who have denied access to personal records that prevent thousands of former soldiers getting a real pensions. Also these same people acquiesce with corrupt political regimes in the hiding of expenses abuses.

POPSCambodian children march against child labour I love the last paragraph. Bastard - it is the standard reply from politicians when questioned on child exploitation. If I had ten bucks for every time I have heard or read those exact same sentiments......

POPSOnly English prisoner at Auschwitz dies, 97 In his book, An Englishman in Auschwitz, Mr Greenman described their arrival in Birkenau. "The women were separated from the men: Else and Barny were marched about 20 yards away to a queue of women...I tried to watch Else. I could see her clearly against the blue lights. She could see me too for she threw me a kiss and held up our child for me to see. What was going through her mind I will never know. Perhaps she was pleased that the journey had come to an end." Mr Greenman later said that the hope of being reunited with Else and Barney kept him going in the gruelling days ahead. After learning his wife and son had been gassed, Mr Greenman dedicated his life to educating people about the holocaust and fighting racism. He never remarried, grieving for his lost family all his life, and spent his last years living at his home in Ilford, east London.

POPSAl-Qaeda training child terrorists: US Another example of the crass exploitation of children. Could it be that motivation is not such a worry when they have grown up amidst the carnage caused by the invasion? We still turn blind eyes to the farms of places such as Ghana where cocoa, for our chocolate, is picked by child slave labour.

POPSChildren Worse Off Despite Legislation By 2015 the MDGs are supposed to be accomplished- these include improving the basic rights of the child. I think we are so far away from that as a reality, and it does not need to be this way.

POPSGap pulls 'child labour' clothing Emergency meeting The spokesman said Gap monitors factories which make its clothing and in 2006 revoked approval for 23 factories which it said failed to comply with its standards. Mr Henkle also said the company was calling an emergency meeting with its suppliers in the region. The smock blouse will not be offered for sale in the company's 3,000 stores around the world, Gap said, and instead will be destroyed. Western clothing chains increasingly get their products made in Asia, taking advantage of cheaper labour.
