    They clearly still have their heads in the clouds and don’t realise the gravity of the situation. I’d understand if they were changing into clean clothes, but it seems as if they just don’t want time be seen in the same outfit twice. Silly, silly, silly girls!!!

    Such a silly comment Nicola. Because of the clothes they wear they have their heads stuck in the clouds and don’t realise the gravity of the situation?? I for one would hazard a guess they have a fair idea of the mess they are in.

    These girls passed through at least three airports on the way to Peru but said nothing to anyone.

    Keep in mind folk all this bullshite is in the main story in media night, noon and day to keep you distracted from things that affect YOUR life. Water meters, bank charges, data transference act, Serco buying out all traffic lights and wanting to privatize more roads for tolls etc etc.

    The illusion of the media is to make you look exactly where you are suppose to look, exactly like a magician.
