Salutary lessons in Army bigotry

Article Abstract:

There is still a very strong anti-gay policy in the UK armed forces, justified on the grounds that allowing gay and lesbian relationships could lead to a breakdown of discipline and morale. However, there are many observers who now question this policy, which is also facing legal challenges. The case of Caroline Meagher, who was obliged to use extreme methods to investigate alleged lesbian activity as part of her work for the Special Investigation Branch of the military police, has highlighted problems with the armed forces' approach to lesbian and gay relationships.

Buying into the mystic

Article Abstract:

There has been a strong revival in interest in 'Celtic' music in the UK recently. This has prompted some observers to express fears that traditional Irish music may disappear under an influx of modern, popularised versions. However, Irish music has survived for many generations, and is most unlikely to be wiped out now. One of the strongest portrayals of 'Celtic' music recently is seen in 'Riverdance,' which is a spectacular show.
