Burrell lied in Diana inquest









The Sun has uncovered a bombshell video tape on which Di’s former butler Burrell brags of committing perjury.
Slippery Burrell freely admitted he KNEW he broke the law by lying to the Princess Diana inquest — and added: “I was very naughty.”
The former royal butler was taped revealing that he threw in “red herrings” and held back facts during his evidence at the High Court in London.
Burrell’s disgraceful lies mean he faces arrest on suspicion of perjury — with ten years’ jail if convicted. It could also derail the £10million inquiry that is gripping the world.





Welcome to the town that will make you lose weight



Towns and cities need to be radically redesigned to help to tackle the obesity epidemic, scientists were told —yesterday. Professor Philip James, chairman of the International Obesity Task Force, a London-based think-tank, called for a revolution in urban planning to encourage people to use cars less and public transport more.

Fat file:
— In England, 24.9 per cent of males and 25.2 per cent of women over 16 are obese
— 70 per cent of Tongan women aged 15-85 are obese. Tonga has the world’s fattest populations
— 30 per cent of British children are overweight.

“Our genes have not changed and yet childhood obesity is rising, and the major challenge is tackling the obesogenic environment that we all share. That includes looking at education, transport, town planning and so on, and not blaming parents for genetic susceptibilities that are not their fault.”
