"British tabloid journalism has sunk to new depths of scandal mongering. The tabloid press has become the self-appointed judge and jury, bringing about the downfall of everyone from MPs to popstars. Dianagate, Camillagate - what next? Libel suits. Think how much money could be saved if the press stuck to facts rather than opinion." MoreRepts Contacts PP Info TV/Radio

"If you had a relative or friend who was dying and the cure had been tested on animals, I bet 99% of you would want them to take it. Testing drugs on animals is alright - but not make-up. Make-up is not important like medicine. It is wrong to test it on animals. The lives of 500,000 children in the UK have been saved by drugs which have been tested on animals."

The problem was tackled, the air became clearer and people didn't have so much trouble breathing. Now it's all happening again thanks to cars.

Now there is less than half the tree population left. This is why some places in England are planting a tree every time one is cut down."
