The brutal, senseless murders of Bebe, Elsie and Alice marked one of the darkest moments in our country’s history. The report today is truly harrowing and profoundly disturbing. It sets out systematic failures that led to this terrible event. I’ve been overwhelmed by the bravery and determination of their families and while nothing will ever bring these three little girls back, I’m determined to make the fundamental changes needed to keep the public safe. I will do everything I can to honour the memory of Bebe, Elsie, and Alice.

Scottish academic Malcolm Caldwell was a staunch defender of the Khmer Rouge, dismissing reports of famine and genocide as "western propaganda". On 22 Dec, 1978, he was granted a rare personal audience with his hero, Cambodian dictator Pol Pot. He was shot in his hotel room a few hours later.





When I predicted that this was going to happen, the First Minster said I was wrong. It turned out that he was wrong… or misleading. We have ceded control of Gibraltar to Spain. It is now British in name only. It can’t go on like this.
