A Sutton Lib Dem councillor is trying to hunt down the makers of a porn video shot in various locations around her constituency, after the people in the area started identifying local landmarks from the film.

The film's plot revolves around a female cab driver who picks up various male passengers around Sutton during the day, before they have sex in her cab.

"It is absolutely disgraceful that this is happening in public, not to mention right on my doorstep," said Councillor Trish Fivey, speaking to local press last week. "It's very worrying that it is going on under our noses, in broad daylight, where anyone could walk by and be subject to this indecency."

So far, the Met police haven't been involved in the search for the porn directors.

Smell a Rat
REPORTS OF A GIANT LONDON RAT WERE BASICALLY BULLSHIT
The rat found dead in east London looked so big due to forced perspective

Newswire SWNS' report of a giant "four-foot rat" found in Hackney, as covered by the Evening Standard, the Telegraph and others, may not be accurate.

The story was based on a photo, circulated on Friday, of a man holding up a huge-looking rat with a litter picker.

Really, the image was so dramatic because of something called forced perspective, an optical illusion in photography and film that makes objects appear bigger or smaller than they are in relation to each other. It's the same idea that inspires tourists to take those photos where they're pushing over the Leaning Tower of Pisa or holding the Eiffel tower between their fingers.

Hackney council posted their own version of a forced perspective photo, adding: "It's probably not that big. Our pest control team are checking it out though."

PC Gone to Court
A CHRISTIAN WHO WAS FIRED FOR BEING PREJUDICED IS GOING TO SUE
The UK magistrate hit back after his views on same-sex couples led to his dismissal

A Christian magistrate who used to make decisions on adoption cases in the UK has said he plans to sue his employer after he was fired for ruling against same-sex couples being fit adoptive parents.

Richard Page was fired following comments he made in a March 2015 BBC interview. At the time he said he felt "it would be better if it was a man and woman who were the adopted parents". He'd been previously given retraining for saying heterosexual couples were "better for a child", during an adoption trial.

He's now reportedly going to sue Michael Gove directly. "I believe that there is not sufficient evidence to convince me that placing a child in the care of a same-sex couple can be as holistically beneficial to a child as placing them with a mum and dad as God and nature intended," Page said.

Alps Avalanche
SIX PEOPLE DIED AFTER AN AVALANCHE HIT THE ITALIAN ALPS
The victims included five Italians and one Austrian national

Snow overwhelmed people mounting Monte Nevoso in Italy on Saturday, after an avalanche hit high on the Alps and left six people dead.

Out of a group of 15 skiers on the mountain, one was reportedly injured and the others largely unharmed, though early reports had referenced several people missing or injured.

An Italian teenager was among the six dead, as was an Austrian woman.

The avalanche risk predicted for the weekend in the Italian Alps overall had been at three on a scale of one to five, and marked as two – or moderate – on the same scale, for Saturday in that particular area.
