The Pill, a life saver?

The pill is good for you, it's official, well this week anyway. No doubt next week it will be bad for you again, according to someone in a white coat from the University of Woooohah.

Researchers say it cuts your chance of developing cancer by 12 per cent if you use it for eight years or less, but if you use it for more than twelve your chances of copping the big C go up by 22 per cent.

Or, have one child and get a cat, any need for the pill will be completely academic quicksticks.

Sex, trust and faith...

The House of Commons has passed a bill which requires state schools to discuss contraception and gay relationships as part of the new curriculum for sex education.

Ed Balls has denied that an opt-out in the way that faith schools can teach the curriculum means the proposals have been watered down. They will not be obliged to promote diversity and equality to the same extent as state schools.

The Children's Secretary amendment has avoided Catholics pulling out.
