A spasm masquerading as a movement

Article Abstract:

Many observers have been extremely surprised by the sudden explosion of support for animal rights issues in the UK. The people who have become involved in protests do not seem to fit into traditional Left Right categories, and politicians find it very hard to understand them. Some people believe that animal rights protests at least show that political apathy has not totally engulfed the country, and the Vegetarian Society has been very pleased with this new development. However, it is strange that people have become so concerned about the rights of animals when there are still many examples of the rights of human beings being neglected.

New workhouses of the nun from hell

Article Abstract:

American nun Sister Connie Driscoll has already made a considerable impact in her own country, where she has called for the abolition of the welfare state, believing that the poor should be cared for on a local basis by churches, charities and communities. She has devoted her life to the poor, having spent many years running a hostel among the poorest housing projects in Chicago. Her views have been taken up by anti-welfarists in the UK, but it is very unlikely that they would actually be prepared to work with the poor and homeless in this way.

Time for a new order in the court

Article Abstract:

The UK's legal system is extremely archaic, with its leading figures often having no idea of the lives led by the ordinary people whom they are supposed to represent. It has an air of exclusivity and mystery, and corruption is rife. There is now an urgent need to reform the whole of the legal system. If reform is not undertaken, then there is a danger that ordinary people will not gain proper access to justice.
