A transgender children's charity has been accused of giving chest-flattening devices to young girls against their parents' wishes. Mermaids staff offered to send a breast binder to a girl they believed was only 14 after being told she was banned from using one by her mother. According to an investigation by the Daily Telegraph, the charity has been offering binders to children as young as 13 despite their parents saying they oppose the practice. A woman has sparked a debate online after admitting she's considering pulling her child out of their school after meeting some of the other parents whose children attend. The anonymous mother took to UK parenting forum Mumsnet to ask other people if she was being a snob after she didn't like the way other parents were behaving in the playground, and was worried about her child playing with their children. While many other people thought she was being judgmental there were plenty of others who agreed with her point of view and said they'd have the same worries Bosses struggle to fill £55-an-hour PA roles because so few candidates want to return to the office with almost half of jobseekers only applying for positions with remote working. Experts believe staff are in a strong position as the labour market is tight with low levels of unemployment and high numbers of job vacancies. One person is fighting for life and 10 others were injured after a vehicle collided into a crowd at a car meet................ A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Two policemen are fighting for their lives after being seriously injured in a two-car collision on a country road in the early hours of this morning. The officers were on duty in a marked white Peugeot 308 when it collided with a grey BMW at around 1.20am on a B-road in Eriswell, Suffolk Thousands of pairs of XXL trousers with waists of over 40inches or larger have been ordered in for police officers, figures show. The Met Police ordered 7,343 pairs which included the sizes 40in, 50in, 52in and a whopping 56in - the equivalent of 4.5ft. Meanwhile West Midlands Police bought 1,852 bumper pairs last year while Greater Manchester Police needed 15 and Northumbria police bought 11.Tam Frey, chairman the National Obesity Forum, said the data was 'shocking'. Britain is failing in the war on obesity, a top NHS adviser has warned, as the majority of doctors are 'ignoring' patients' weight issues. Many family doctors weigh patients every year and do no more, says Professor Paul Aveyard, who advises NHS England on obesity.If a GP allowed an ill person to leave their surgery without medication or treatment, that doctor could be sued............ Breakfast time in Dunkirk, and a human trafficker in a black top brazenly marches a large crowd of migrants along a street busy with French shoppers buying their baguettes.Displaying all the confidence of an official tourist guide, he leads his throng to a local bus stop. There the 70 or so Iraqis and Iranians — some with little children on their shoulders — join him on board for the hour-long road-trip to the beach where a black rubber boat waits to take them illegally to England.
