Death case raises fears over police doctors
Article Abstract:
Inadequate training leads police surgeons to prescribe inordinate amounts of drugs to prisoners. Dr Dhirendra Saha and Dr Chulam Salim were found guilty of manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court, England. Their prescription for heroin addict Graham Rawlinson resulted in his death. The senior police surgeon for the area, Dr Roger Deacon, considered it a matter of protocol but a professor of general practice at Leeds University, Dr Conrad Harris, felt the doctors should have been counselled over prescription of addictive drugs.

Parking restrictions attacked as 'green fascism.' (expensive controlled zones annoy residents)
Article Abstract:
Many local authorities are using a parking scheme pioneered in Sweden and Israel to gain extra income while promoting it as a 'green' scheme. Controlled zones require residents to purchase permits to park outside their own homes and inconvenience the elderly, the housebound and families. Residents campaigns force negotiations for changes and traders, some of whose takings are down by 40% refuse to sell the vouchers.
