Sally Nightingale has asked David Cameron for “five minutes of his time” in return for her husband Danny’s 17 years of service in the Army.

Sgt Nightingale, 37, is serving an 18-month sentence for possession of a firearm after a pistol given to him by Iraqi forces he trained was found in a locked box in his Army accommodation while he was on tour.

The SAS sniper had forgotten about its existence because of brain damage caused when he collapsed during an endurance sport event in which he was taking part to raise funds for the families of dead and injured SAS soldiers.

In a letter, reproduced below, Mrs Nightingale pleads with the Mr Cameron not to “ignore” her family “in the hour of our greatest need” and urges him to intervene directly into her husband’s case.

Australia suffered either flood or drought nearly continuously during the 18th and 19th centuries, when CO2 was at pre-industrial levels. Al Gore promises a return to those days of extreme weather if we simply wreck the economy and give up our freedom.

Global temperatures have been flat to down for the last 16 years, but Hansen is undaunted. He is warming recent temperatures at a rate of one degree per century, which is faster than the hockey stick.

? George Orwell, 1984

Grandfather David has been capturing GISS data from archives and plotted how the 1880s have been progressively cooled over the last seven years. Goebbels had nothing over Hansen  when it came to embellishing the big lie.

Hurricane Audrey brought 145 MPH winds to Texas and Louisiana and wiped many cities off the map. CO2 was at very safe levels in 1957 – perhaps Al Gore is looking for a repeat performance?

1957 also brought the most severe drought in New Mexico’s history, which is where I was living. My mother says that there was no green to be seen anywhere that year.

Luis Suarez is stomping people’s feet every weekend. This week it was David Jones of Wigan.

My foot got stomped twice in my match yesterday, the first one being malicious. People who do that should be banned. There is no place for it in soccer.
