Bedfordshire PCC Festus Akinbusoye backs continuation of stop-and-search
Published 26 May 2021 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Britain's first black police and crime commissioner has said removing stop-and-search powers would mean "a field day for criminals". Conservative Festus Akinbusoye was elected to the Bedfordshire role earlier this month . Human rights groups say the number of people belonging to ethnic minorities stopped and searched by police is "disproportionate". But Mr Akinbusoye said: "I am pro stop-and-search."

A heavily pregnant woman has vented her frustration at feeling "bullied" by family members over the fact her baby may have red hair. Red might be the rarest human hair color in the world, but redheads nevertheless account for a significant proportion of the population.

Despite this, a certain stigma persists among the redheaded population , not least when it comes to dating . A 2012 study saw a group of men and women put on different colored wigs in a dating setting to see who would be approached the most. Redheads suffered the most rejection with just 13.8 percent of men wearing the red wigs being asked to dance, compared with 35 percent of the men donning black locks. It wasn't just restricted to men either. The women wearing red wigs found they were approached by just 29 men, which was … [Read more...] about Family slammed for bullying pregnant woman over “risk” baby has red hair
Obituary: Billy Graham
Published 21 February 2018 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Once dubbed God's Ambassador, Billy Graham went to the four corners of the world with his evangelical mission. His soft-spoken Southern style was in direct contrast to the fire and brimstone adopted by so many evangelical preachers. Over six decades, he preached to an estimated 215 million people in 185 countries and reached hundreds of millions more through his radio and television ministry. His early audiences were predominantly white, middle-class and conservative. But, as the civil rights movement gained momentum, he began to preach against segregation and formed a sometimes strained friendship with Martin Luther King. William Franklin Graham Jr was born on 7 November 1918 and brought up on the family dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. His parents were members of the conservative Associate … [Read more...] about Obituary: Billy Graham
