When it's right to say no to a night of cider with Rosie

Article Abstract:

The UK government is misguided in seeking to include in the Sexual Offences Bill a measure that will make sexual relations between 16- and 17-year-olds and adults in a position of trust illegal. It seems wrong to create a category of consensual sexual relations between people who are legally adults and then prohibit this by law. Those in a position of trust, particularly teachers, should be able to exercise self-restraint. Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools Chris Woodhead should resign if he did indeed have sexual relations with a pupil in the mid-1970s.

Disasters should not strike twice in the same place

Article Abstract:

Some observers are attributing the train crash near Paddington station, London, England, to a lack of attention to safety under privatized rail companies. In fact, privatized rail companies have as great an interest in avoiding accidents as publicly-owned operations. It is important to remember that travelling by train can never be made totally risk-free. The most significant issue regarding the safety of rail travel in the UK is that nobody seems to have ultimate responsibility for trying to prevent accidents.
