Sharp division on solution to the crisis of family life

Article Abstract:

Politicians debate the moral aspects of financial support given to the 1.3 million one-parent families in the UK. Over two-thirds of single parents are divorced or separated, rather than unmarried teenagers. The director of the Institute of Economic Affairs free-market think-tank Dr David Green suggests unmarried mothers should live in hostels to qualify for benefits and fathers should be forced to take responsibility. His opponent John Perry, director of the Institute of Housing, disapproves of moral judgements in housing allocation.

Peer's death ends family ties with Guinness board

Article Abstract:

Lord Iveagh, the third Earl of Iveagh died aged 55 in June 1992 after resigning as director and president of Guinness plc for health problems. Thus no Guinness family member participates at board level in the firm. Guinness Ireland was founded in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, who had inherited 100 pounds sterling from the Archbishop of Cashel. His brother Samuel also inherited and founded the banking branch. The brewing side of the family became popular in high society and they were considered the Irish Royal Family.

When have a go means death

Article Abstract:

There have been a number of cases over recent years in which an intruder has been attacked by a householder. Most recently, Robert Ingham, who is alleged to have been committing a burglary, died after being attacked by Nick Baungartner, the householder. These cases present considerable legal difficulties. In the past, the attacker has not been prosecuted, but more recently the UK government has stated that the person who has been attacked should be treated more sympathetically by the police.
