A tramp who lived for nearly 40 years on the central reservation of a
ring road left £34,000 in unclaimed pension money. Josef Stawinoga,

London on Thursday. Among them was a 19-year-old, the 20th teenager

Meanwhile, Boris has got rid of Ray Lewis, his black conservative
sidekick on the fight against the black culture-driven knife crimewave
in London. Lewis has a past. The BBC Local London News reported this

serve in the wars they start] regardless of the results they get, this
is amazing chutzpah). 8 quid a week, to be precise.
