Met chief tells politicians: you are putting us in an impossible position

Martin Kettle
Wednesday November 16, 2005
The Guardian

Britain's most senior police chief will tonight call for a wide-ranging debate on the kind of force the country needs after the London bombings in July. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, will use the annual Dimbleby lecture on BBC1 to argue that the terrorist attacks in the capital on July 7 have changed the nature of the policing challenge.

Talking to the Guardian ahead of the lecture, Sir Ian warned that without a change in the way policing is debated, there is a danger of "drift" into further political controversies like last week's Commons row over 90-day detention powers. Controversial modern police strategies such as armed response, which resulted in the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in July, are developing in a "totally private" environment dominated by the police themselves. "We need to come into a place where we can discuss these issues in reasonable, compassionate debate. They can't go on being private," he said.

Focus

Attention!The Anglo-Saxons are coming!

Today's vote is more about the economic shape of the Union than the constitution, says Heather Stewart . There is concern that France would be open to alien corporate influences

Sunday May 29, 2005
The Observer

Jacques Chirac's rousing call to arms on Friday, warning French voters they have 'a part of Europe's destiny in their hands,' may have swung today's referendum, persuading the French to say 'oui' to Europe's new constitution - but, whatever the outcome, the tussle between the French establishment and the 'non' camp has laid bare profound differences about Europe's economic future.

Chancellor Gordon Brown optimistically announced last week that he hopes to use Britain's presidency of the European Union, in the second half of this year, to press for deeper 'structural reforms'. Brown believes his EU partners should copy UK plc in making their labour markets more flexible, encouraging competition, and throwing open their markets to foreign competition.

If the French say no, he has little hope of success. To French anti-constitution campaigners, proposals such as these represent exactly the Anglo-Saxon model of unfettered capitalism that they believe is enshrined in the new document and that France should reject. With unemployment running at more than 10 per cent - twice the rate in Britain - and a perception that the new accession countries in central and eastern Europe are creating fierce competition for investment and jobs, there is a desire in France to turn back the tide.

Britain [ is ] 'sliding into police state'

The home secretary, Charles Clarke, is transforming Britain into a police state, one of the country's former leading anti-terrorist police chiefs said yesterday.

George Churchill-Coleman, who headed Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad as they worked to counter the IRA during their mainland attacks in the late 1980s and early 1990s, said Mr Clarke's proposals to extend powers, such as indefinite house arrest, were "not practical" and threatened to further marginalise minority communities.

Mr Churchill-Coleman told the Guardian: "I have a horrible feeling that we are sinking into a police state, and that's not good for anybody. We live in a democracy and we should police on those standards.

Comment

The radical who is leading a new English revolution

The Belmarsh ruling was not simply a judicial rush of blood to the head

Martin Kettle
Tuesday December 21, 2004
The Guardian

England is living through revolutionary times. Yet the man who is leading this English revolution is barely known to the public at large, maintains a modest profile even when he is fulfilling his public duties, and could pass unremarked in almost any street in the land as he does his Christmas shopping.

Last week's law lords ruling in the case of the Belmarsh detainees provided a rare lightning flash illuminating the much wider revolution that Lord Bingham is currently crafting in the English constitution. His fellow law lords may have provided more quotable and even questionable comments as they delivered their eight to one verdict against the home secretary's powers of executive detention under the anti-terrorist laws. But it was Lord Bingham's scrupulously balanced and argued 47-page lead judgment that nailed the central legal challenge to the government's door.

To realise just how radically the relationship between the judiciary and the government is now changing, it is important to understand how a previous generation of law lords responded to a similar issue of executive detention. The difference between what the law lords said then and what the law lords say now underscores how big an event took place last week.

'No one came in to clean it.
Three weeks later the blood was still lying on the floor'

For any pensioner, the prospect of surgery in hospital is worrying, but for Bob McReight it is terrifying.

The 75-year-old had to have a leg amputated after contracting MRSA at the old Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh. Four years later, his wife Margaret, now aged 68, was in the same hospital and she also caught the disease. She still has problems walking.

Mr McReight now has problems with his elbows. He says the prospect of returning to hospital, albeit another one this time, is shattering for both him and his wife.

"I am dead scared to go in. But I won't go if they won't let me come home. I am not staying in after the operation. If they are not going to do that, I am not going. I don't trust those people," said the retired lorry driver yesterday.

Annual cost of a child's toys: £715

Polly Curtis
Friday June 10, 2005
The Guardian

Parents are spending an average of £715 a year on toys for each of their children,

[ anaphore textuelle > effet emphatique ]

despite resenting having their arms twisted, according to new research.

Merchandise tied to the latest blockbusters, such as the Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Superman figurines,

are the least popular with parents.

Some 17% of those questioned said they resented buying film and TV merchandise for their children,

a further 14% said they did not like buying dolls and teddies,

and another 14% said they opposed buying more traditional board games and puzzles.

Collectively, parents are spending £8bn a year on toys and games,

amounting to an average of £37 a month plus £175 for Christmas and £96 for birthdays per child.

By the age of 16, children have owned more than £11,000 worth of toys,

according to the survey of 1,000 parents commissioned by the internet bank Egg.

Class Matters

Richest Are Leaving Even the Rich Far Behind

By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON

Published: June 5, 2005

When F. Scott Fitzgerald pronounced that the very rich "are different from you and me," Ernest Hemingway's famously dismissive response was: "Yes, they have more money." Today he might well add: much, much, much more money.

The people at the top of America's money pyramid have so prospered in recent years that they have pulled far ahead of the rest of the population, an analysis of tax records and other government data by The New York Times shows. They have even left behind people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Call them the hyper-rich.

She's Winning Her Drug War

By ANDREW POLLACK

    Jim Wilson/The New York Times

A bookworm since childhood, Susan Desmond-Hellmann says that she coped with job anxiety earlier this year by reading. She pored over the results of old clinical trials of her company's drugs, trying to reassure herself that three important new trials would turn out all right.

"I just kept going back and rereading them," said Dr. Desmond-Hellmann, the president for product development at Genentech, the big biotechnology company. "It's important to be data-driven and not too optimistic."

Her attention to data has paid off. In the last two months, Genentech has reported remarkable success in all three trials, involving two of its cancer drugs. The successes follow a 17-month period ended late last year in which the company had four new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration, a notable hot streak in the drug industry.

At a time when many pharmaceutical companies are flailing in their efforts to develop drugs - a major factor in the abrupt resignation on Thursday of Merck's chief executive, Raymond V. Gilmartin - Genentech has become a model of innovation and a leading supplier of cancer drugs. And Genentech executives and outside analysts say much of the credit goes to Dr. Desmond-Hellmann, who runs the company's clinical trials.

A cancer specialist by training who is invariably described as smart, friendly, level-headed and attuned to the feelings of patients, she is one of the few women in the uppermost echelons of the pharmaceutical business and on Fortune magazine's list of the 50 most powerful women in business.

We're paying the price of living longer

With 70,000 people a year selling their home to meet care costs,

Esther Shaw asks how the state intends to avert a crisis

Anyone with an elderly parent knows that deciding to move him or her into a care home is one of the toughest decisions they will ever make. And financial worries may well add to the stress, for most families in this situation will have to face the question of how their relative's care is to be paid for.

Under current rules, people with capital of more than £20,000 - including the value of their home - must pay the full cost of their own long-term care. This is no easy feat, given that residential or nursing home places currently cost on average around £25,000 a year.

Research from Help the Aged's Care Fees Advice Service shows that 70,000 older people are forced to sell their homes each year to raise the necessary cash. It's the only option left for one in five pensioners who need to go into care, the charity's report says.

Not only that, but the number of elderly homeowners affected will increase over the coming decades, as nursing costs soar and life expectancy rises.
