Paratroopers deployment cancelled after alleged orgy in Merville Barracks
The new head of the army has cancelled the deployment of a Parachute Regiment battalion to Kosovo after recent discipline lapses including an alleged orgy in their Colchester base. In a letter to all serving and retired parachute regiment soldiers and their families, Lieutenant General Andrew Harrison, the Colonel Commandant of the Paras, said the new head of the Army had “temporarily lost trust” in the unit’s 3rd battalion. General Sir Patrick Sanders , the Chief of the General Staff (CGS), only took over the top job on Monday of this week. That one of his first decisions has been to publicly shame a historic and influential unit such as the Parachute Regiment will be taken as a signal that Gen Sanders intends to make discipline a key feature of his time as CGS. The move came after a military police investigation was launched last week into an alleged orgy in Merville Barracks, home to the army’s 16 Air Assault Brigade , of which 3 Para is part, and other discipline … [Read more...] about Paratroopers deployment cancelled after alleged orgy in Merville Barracks
I was a shell of a person after brutal backlash from cancelling Las Vegas shows, says Adele
ADELE has revealed for the first time how she was savaged by a “brutal” backlash after postponing her Las Vegas shows. The Hello superstar, 34, admitted she was frightened to call them off this year and said she was “a shell of a person” for months afterwards. But she stands by the last-minute decision in January, saying: “You can’t buy me . . . you can’t buy me for nothing. I’m not going to do a show because I have to.” Adele , speaking on Desert Island Discs this morning, also confessed to feeling “terrible” after her dramatic seven-stone weight loss left young fans with confidence issues. But she defended herself against claims she had betrayed them, hitting back: “They ain’t there at 4am when I’m crying my heart out with anxiety and needing a distraction.” And the pop icon, who has son Angelo, nine, with ex-husband Simon Konecki, told host Lauren Laverne she would love to have more children in the future.

Vetting of airport staff fast-tracked to ease travel chaos
Security checks on aviation staff will be fast tracked in an attempt to cut delays at Britain's airports. The Department for Transport said it was speeding up the vetting process for new staff to help tackle the travel chaos that has plagued travellers for months. Holidaymakers faced more disruption on Saturday, with thousands of passengers at Heathrow hit by delays caused by a computer failure that left planes unable to refuel and "horrendous" scenes at the baggage reclaim area. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said that by speeding up the vetting of new aviation security staff, the Government was "doing its bit to help deliver for passengers". Counter terrorism checks on staff, which previously took up to 20 days, are now being done in half the time, he said. New staff are also carrying out other training while their security checks are ongoing. Airlines are expected to announce a series of cancellations to summer flights next week aimed at minimising disruption in the … [Read more...] about Vetting of airport staff fast-tracked to ease travel chaos
Megan Markle’s brother tells Prince Harry not to marry his sister
Meghan Markle's elder brother has penned an extraordinary letter in which he urged Prince Harry to cancel the upcoming royal wedding. The handwritten note by Thomas Markle Jr., 51, tries to settle old scores by saying that his sister had turned her back on her family and abandoned their father, whom he claimed had gone into debt to support her acting career. The letter, published by In Touch magazine, directly addresses the prince, pleading with him that "this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history. Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you. "Meghan's attempt to act the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress is getting old." The letter also laments how their father has not been invited to the wedding and has been left broke in Mexico over "mostly her debts." "It's very apparent that her tiny bit of Hollywood fame has gone to her head, changing her into a jaded, shallow, conceited woman, that will make a fool of you and the royal … [Read more...] about Megan Markle’s brother tells Prince Harry not to marry his sister
