Royal Family advised to give up the Palace

Article Abstract:

The strength of public reaction in the UK to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, has given new impetus to the possibility of the Royal Family deciding to stop living in Buckingham Palace, London, England. The government and representatives of the Palace have stated that this is not a possibility, but it is believed that royal advisers are considering it as part of a long-term modernization programme. Advisers believe that there is a need for the Royal Family to become more in touch with ordinary people.

Howard's 'triple deceit' - the Widdecombe charge

Article Abstract:

Former UK Home Secretary Michael Howard could face claims in the House of Commons which will seriously damage his efforts to become the next leader of the Conservative party. Former prisons minister Ann Widdecombe is seeking to make public details of three occasions on which she believes Howard misled the House of Commons over the dismissal of Prison Service director-general Derek Lewis. She claims that she has access to documents which will allow her to pursue her accusations against Howard.

You ask the questions (such as: You are known for your uncompromising views on sex. So, Ann Widdecombe, what would you do if you had a gay son?)

Article Abstract:

Not all views expressed in favour of traditional morality are the result of prejudice, according to United Kingdom Shadow Health Secretary Ann Widdecombe. She is not opposed to homosexual rights, but does not feel that the age of consent should be lowered. She also believes that society should retain the traditional family as a model for bringing up children. She feels that the protection of unborn children is an issue for everyone in society, not just women.
