The government inspector (or how Mr Woodhead slipped up in the blackboard jungle)

Article Abstract:

UK Chief Inspector of Schools Chris Woodhead has attracted considerable controversy since it became known that he may have had an affair with a sixth-form pupil in the mid-1970s. Prime Minister Tony Blair has stated that he has full confidence in Woodhead, but Woodhead himself has become uncharacteristically quiet. His ex-wife Cathy has spoken out strongly, indicating that she wishes the truth to be known. This issue has captured the imagination of columnists, some of whom believe that Woodhead should now resign.

Hell is other people

Article Abstract:

The Anti-Social Behaviour Orders introduced by the UK government are designed to reduce levels of routine harassment and intimidation. Local councils or the police can apply for the orders against anyone aged 10 or over, and those who breach the orders can be jailed for up to five years. This would appear to be a positive development, but families on the Ravenscliffe estate in north Bradford, England, who have become victims of intimidation are sceptical about whether the situation will really improve.

The animal liberationist with attitude

Article Abstract:

The UK government will eventually have to yield to pressure to change quarantine regulations, according to Mary Fretwell, founder of Passport for Pets. She has been extremely active in making her views known to politicians, and regards her campaigning as a battle in which she must face up strongly to her opponents. She refuses to allow herself to be bullied. She is now supported in her work by her husband, after having spent many years supporting him in his work.
