They'll be watching you

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly clear that closed-circuit television (CCTV) is now being extensively used by police forces in the UK as part of their efforts to combat crime. There are now more than 1 million CCTV cameras in use, and the government has announced plans to make further investment in CCTV systems. There is something rather unnerving about having your movements in public places monitored, but the use of CCTV has become firmly established. This trend is being opposed by civil liberties groups, which regard voyeurism in itself as a threat to individual freedom.

The Cardinal's money won't buy any happiness

Article Abstract:

Cardinal Thomas Winning's scheme to offer financial support to pregnant women who would otherwise have an abortion can be regarded as doomed to failure, merely because it is becoming out of control. Some young girls are very attracted to the idea of having a baby, and learning that financial assistance is available from this scheme will not assist them in recognizing that the reality of having a child will be very different from what they imagine. Indeed, the scheme may actually encourage young girls to become pregnant who otherwise might not.

Pity the player who has to lie

Article Abstract:

The case of rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio, who has stated that he was lying when he claimed to a tabloid newspaper reporter that he was a former drug dealer and current drug user, has highlighted the need to approach the problem of the use of illegal drugs with more common sense. It is now time to seek to distinguish between different types of illegal drug and to recognize that people who take drugs are merely rather reckless, rather than evil. Exaggerating the dangers of illegal drugs will clearly not deter reckless people from trying them.
