Hurricane Oma Hits St Lucia

The island of St Lucia in the Caribbean has been hit by Hurricane Oma.

The hurricane has riped through the sea-side town of Soufriere mainly by sea, leaving many houses devastated.

Families with houses by the sea were flooded or damaged as the waves from the weather rough sea overcame blockades.

No report on whether or not people died, but people have been hurt as they awoke to roaring winds as doors were broke down and furniture was washed away by the high tide.

The devastation to the small island has not been widely reported and is not really known about by people, unless they have a connection to the island.

However now the time comes to worry about how people are going to be able to rebuild their lives, as homes have been destroyed and possessions lost.

As many of the people whose lives have been ruined, they are poor and will not get government help to rebuild their homes.

Many will have to rely on help from friends and family, and as the world is not aware of their plight, there will be no charity relief fund.

To those who have been affected by the hurricane my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Obese Children Taken Into Care, Fat Chance

The idea of Medical Professionals even suggesting that obese children should be put into care is a joke. Instead why don't they think of an idea that would be more effective to help those children suffering from health problems, or educating their parents.

We as a generation have become lazy, we are too lazy to cook proper food, to do anything resembling exercise or to even correct our children when they buy sweets and crisps for breakfast.

Poor Jamie Oliver has taken on the battle of trying to change Britain's obesity problems, and now the government has to devise a plan to tell us what to eat.


Pushing themselves further and further into our lives. Soon any decision we have to make will have to come with guidelines from the government.

We always moan that the government is too intrusive, well if this is the case why don't we start taking more control of our lives.


Why don't we take control of what our children eat, where they should and should not go and what they should and should not do. That way maybe parents themselves would be able to control the many problems that our society is riddled with.
