You don't even have to read down to the article because the subheadline adds;

The judge said the grandfather's smoking was 'significant' in the context of 'his ability to give up habit-forming behaviour'.

This included a 30-year cannabis habit and worries over excessive drinking - as well as being unable to quit smoking, even with professional help.

And there's more.

But Judge Bellamy said an assessment of the grandfather’s suitability had raised a 'number of areas of concern'.

This included a history of domestic violence, worries about excessive drinking, problems with anxiety and depression, drug abuse and smoking, the ruling said.

Taxpayers' £1m bill 'for civil servants to hum along to Miley': Royalties paid so civil servants can listen to the radio at work

The highest spender is the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The agency has paid out an £552,012 in royalties since 2009 so the radio can be played in its 299 driving test centres, 87 testing stations and one enforcement office.

So primarily for the public.

Another big spender is Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, which has paid out £141,632.81 since 2009 for hold music, but says it will cut the bill

.
Which the staff can't hear.

A DVSA spokesman said: ‘Listening to the radio helps to keep our examiners up to date with local news, traffic and weather conditions, which can all affect the delivery of our services. It also gives driving test candidates a more relaxing environment in which to wait.

So not to entertain the staff.
None of the many HMRC offices I've worked at even had a radio. What office wants radios blaring away when the staff spend half their time on the phone? Totally unprofessional.

Family's fury over death of teenage girl who was given the sedative which killed Michael Jackson

The 15-year-old student began vomiting and fitting on November 16, 2008, and was immediately rushed to Basildon Hospital A&E.
But she died within days of being admitted due to lethal swelling on the brain.

'We have apologised for the failings in the care provided to Amie, and have since introduced a number of changes in the treatment of children and adults with neurological illness, including more regular observations.'

So SFA to do with the sedative or Mchael Jackson.

NHS to fund sperm bank for lesbians: New generation of fatherless families... paid for by YOU

Lesbians, single mothers and taxpayers money, oh my! A veritable banquet of bashing. Oh but:

Heterosexual couples with fertility problems who need donations as part of IVF treatment will be among the customers of the new bank.

But a large percentage are predicted to be professional, single females who decide to have a baby without a man.

And based on current trends, more than a quarter of all the recipients are likely to be gay women.

So we're actually just guessing about the lesbians.

NHS funding for fertility services, including donor insemination, is decided by regional Clinical Commissioning Groups and varies widely.

CCGs are typically more likely to fund heterosexual couples struggling to conceive rather than lesbians or single women because they are considered to have more of a medical need.

err...

The NGDT hopes the sperm bank will be self-funding after a year.

Because, unlike the headline suggests, recipients will have to pay.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Claiming that it would be easy for an English speaker to pronounce is a bit of a stretch. In fact it's a 'who are you kidding?'

or even 'Are you having a llaugh?'
