Summary
STRANGE BUT TRUE SCHOOLBOY'S STAND A school's decision to bar a pupil because of his hairstyle has come under challenge in a High Court test case. The boy, G, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was refused entry to St Gregory's Catholic Science College in Kenton, Harrow, north London, at the age of 12 because he wears his hair in "cornrows". The popular West African style of braiding hair along the scalp is prohibited under the strict uniform and hair policy at St Gregory's. Mr Justice Collins, sitting at London's High Court, was asked by G and his mother to declare the "no to cornrows" stance of the head teacher and governors unlawful.
PASTY POWER Cornish pasties are to be used to power cars after a green fuel firm announced plans to use them to make biodiesel. Greenergy is to take pasties, pies, crisps and other food waste that would otherwise have gone to landfill and extract the oil they contain. It will be blended with diesel and sold at petrol stations across Britain. The company is investing Pounds 50 million in its production facility in Immingham, Lincolnshire, to process used cooking oils which can make up to 30 per cent of some processed foods.See the full content of this document
