He was one of 40 hunters who helped cull an outsized herd of more than 300 deer that Pennsylvania Game Commission officials say wreaks havoc on the greenery at the suburban park off busy Germantown Pike in Montgomery County. The one-day hunt was particularly unusual because the park is surrounded by dense development, including Norristown State Hospital and Norristown Area High School. Police patrolled the perimeter and allowed only preregistered hunters onto the grounds.

"It seems the isolation of Wendy Alexander is spreading - she is at odds with the UK Government, with Scottish Labour MPs and with Scotland's local authorities. "Let's hope the New Year brings a more constructive approach to Scotland's new politics from Ms Alexander and her parliamentary friends." But Andy Kerr, Labour's Shadow Secretary for Public Services, insisted the previous executive's policy had guaranteed funding for vital projects.
