Extra, Extra
  • Bob Murrill, the head of the Met's organised-crime unit, has said that London's criminal gangs are "out of control'".
  • The Olympic Delivery Authority has managed to secure freehold of land that is part of the Stratford City development project at no extra cost.
  • The Cruise spent four hours talking to fans (and taking mobile phone calls of course) outside the M:I III premiere last night.
  • Apparently Nelson will have his arm x-rayed today as part of the restoration of the column. There's a brass rod in there which was inserted when the statue was hit by lightning.
  • You can now get odds of 1000/1 that Jade Goody will represent the UK at the 2012 Olympic games.
