A 離婚 取引，協定 that shames women
?
Philippa Vaughan 説得するd the 裁判官 to award her the extra lump sum of £215,000
The High 法廷，裁判所's award of a £215,000 離婚 payout to the former wife of a 主要な barrister? -? 25 years after the couple 分裂（する）? -? is a terrible blow to those who rightly believe that women are equal to men.
Philippa Vaughan, 66, has no children, lives in a four-bedroom £1million house in 流行の／上流の Hammersmith, West London, and 相続するd £770,000 from her parents.
But she still 納得させるd the 裁判官 to award her the extra lump sum. He said it was 'plainly wrong' to think she could adjust to life after her exhusband's 維持／整備 支払い（額）s were cancelled last year.
In this 事例／患者, the absurdity of Mrs Vaughan's 離婚 （人命などを）奪う，主張する is exposed by the fact that as a working woman (with a 職業 as an 専門家 in Islamic and Indian art), she was able to earn her own living.
By any 基準 this was an 不正な （人命などを）奪う，主張する. 特に since her exhusband had accrued most of his wealth <特記する／引用する>after </特記する／引用する>they 分裂（する） and during his second marriage.
It seems Mrs Vaughan's main 関心 was to get one over her ex? -? rather than any 利益／興味 in 司法（官）. So once again our crazy 離婚 法律s, which too often encourage women to sponge off men, have 配達するd another 大打撃を与える blow against the 会・原則 of marriage.
Any 離婚 lawyer will tell you that such high-profile 法廷，裁判所 awards have a 深遠な 影響 on women's 態度s to marriage and 離婚? -? 特に with regard to the values of young women.
Is it any wonder that 調査するs 示唆する that 20 per cent of girls don't want a career, but, like footballers' WAGs, 簡単に want to hitch on to a rich man?
It's also not surprising if young men are 気が進まない to get married. They 恐れる that if they 離婚, they could 直面する 財政上の 廃虚. As a result, marriage 率s are at the lowest since 記録，記録的な／記録するs began in 1862.
Britain's 離婚 法律s need to be changed to recognis e how much women's 役割s in society have altered? -? おもに for the better? -? and to stop しっかり掴むing ladies of leisure, or wives who earn good salaries, from leeching off men.?

We don't need a Queen of cupcakes
She got the 愛称 'Waity Katie' because of her みごたえのある ability to do nothing but wait for her Prince to come.
But now Kate Middleton せねばならない be called '重大な Katie'. For Prince William's workshy, holiday-loving girlfriend 脅すs to become a 激しい millstone around the 王室の Family's neck.
She's hardly what palace modernisers had in mind for a 未来 Queen.
Where's the proper 職業? Where's the devotion to hard work and charity that are so embedded in the life of today's favourite 王室のs?
Instead, all we see from Kate is a stubborn 保護 of her privacy (首尾よく 告訴するing photographers for taking pictures of her playing tennis) and her 成果／努力s to 促進する her parents' children's party website with a 一連の simpering childhood memories, 含むing the occasion when she forgot to put self-raising flour into a cake-mix.
The last thing Britain needs is a lazy, talentless Queen of Cupcakes.

An 雇用 法廷 h as to decide whether Heather Mills, left, is telling the truth in a very messy 事例／患者 in which her former nanny （人命などを）奪う，主張するs she was 軍隊d to 辞職する when she had her own child.

Attacking her former nanny, she complained: 'She's just after money. My problem is I'm too nice.'
I'd love to know what Sir Paul thinks of it all.?
ORANGE ALERT, IT'S PHONEY BLAIR
Tony Blair is 述べるd by 労働 spin doctors as the party's 'secret 選挙 武器'.
What an apt phrase.
For everything about the former 総理大臣 these days seems to be secret: his consultancy 料金s from oil companies with 利益／興味s in Iraq; the true 役割 of his の近くに 補佐官 Ruth Turner; why one of his companies is licensed in the low-税金 政権s of Lithuania and Liechtenstein; and? -? most importantly -? why is he so orange!
His new 税金 追放する Tan has led to rumours he's planning to 開始する，打ち上げる his own brand of sun lotion? -? a bit like Paul Newman's cooking sauces.
It would 競争相手 St Tropez, the world's most famous 偽の tan. St Tony? -? the world's finest 偽の.

- The inept 介入 by the dreadful, opportunistic Ed Balls has played 権利 into the 手渡すs of the 平等に dreadful Sharon Shoesmith, the woman who was 恐らく in 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 of chil dren's services at Haringey when Baby P was 拷問d to death.
She now looks 始める，決める to 勝利，勝つ a £1million 賄賂 thanks to Balls leaning on an 独立した・無所属 調査 to 'beef up' the 事例／患者 for 解雇（する）ing the 会議 長，指導者.
What a 遺産／遺物 for this 政府. It has failed to educate children 適切に, can't 保護する the most 攻撃を受けやすい in society and rewards those whose 無資格／無能力 許すs such 悲劇s as Baby P.
- Gordon Brown has published a 300-page collection of his speeches. Asked about the 調書をとる／予約する's sales prospects, a former Blair speechwriter tartly commented that the only problem is that Brown wrote them all himself.? As for the 残り／休憩（する） of us? -? the only speech we are 利益／興味d in his 辞職 one. We live in hope.

Let's hope the sisterly 社債 is strong and 生き残るs if the show's Machiavellian guru Simon Cowell 捨てるs Dannii 永久的に and 取って代わるs her with Big Sis.

In reply, the 現在の 長，率いる of the Church, Dr Rowan Williams, 同意しないd, arguing that Christians in poorer parts of the world were 苦しむing much more.
But since when was the 明言する／公表する of a nation's spiritual health 手段d by its GDP?
Surely the real problem 苦しむd by Christians in Britain is a pathetic 欠如（する） of leadership from that bearded 'old druid' Rowan himself.
