London, July 21 : Police could spend more money protecting Tony Blair than his successor as Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

A Scotland Yard source said looking after Brown would cost about 1.5 million pounds a year, but the bill for guarding Blair is expected to be two million pounds or more this year.

A source told The Mirror: "He is still at the highest risk level because he is seen as the man who took Britain into Afghanistan and Iraq. His new job trying to reconcile Middle East problems has pushed up costs because we have to have more of everything."

Blair has made five trips to the Middle East, each time with a team of plain-clothes officers.

London, July 21 : Two Brit cops allegedly marched a rape victim found crying in the street at 1am to a cab firm, and then made her pay the fare home.

The woman, said to be an executive who earns 70,000 pounds a year, had been at a party on a Thames boat and was spotted by passers-by, slumped on a south London pavement.

They alerted two Pcs and asked them to assist the woman, who was wearing only a black T-shirt.

However, instead of driving her to a hospital or a police station, the officers took her to a taxi firm close to Southwark Tube station, South London.

After it was found no one could collect her, the taxi firm agreed to take her home.

London, July 21 : Staff members on board the Royal Yacht Britannia were required to address the Queen or Queen Mother as "Your Majesty" initially, but otherwise as “Ma’am” to rhyme with “ham”, according to a rulebook published by the British Ministry of Defence.

The 200-page Precedent Book entitled ''Commonwealth Personnel'' also reveals that all other Royals were to be addressed as "Your Royal Highness", and thereafter as "Sir" or "Ma''am".

Servicemen with moustaches were deemed unsuitable to guard the Queen, say the documents.

London, July 21: A British chemical company has said that it has found a way to make fuel from household waste, and cars run on such fuel could be on the streets within two years.

According to a report in the Times, INEOS, the world’s third largest chemical company, said it aimed to produce commercial quantities of bioethanol fuel from biodegradable municipal waste by 2011.

The company has said that it had patented a method of producing fuel from municipal solid waste, agricultural waste and organic commercial waste.

The company claims that it can produce about 400 litres (90 gallons) of ethanol from one tonne of dry waste.

London, July 21 : Illegal immigrants might soon get British citizenship by just paying 200 pounds, if a bizarre policy of the Liberal Democrats is made into a law.

According to a party think-tank, the country''s half-a-million illegals should be allowed to sign up for an "enrolment period". 

The scheme could mean that anyone who manages to stay in Britain undetected for three months could pay 200 pounds to enroll, followed by five installments of 1,000 pounds over the following five years, as quoted in the Daily Star. 

Once they have completed their enrolment, which includes getting a job, paying taxes and learning English, they would be given permission to live here permanently.
