Diary: Bed, booze, choc bars and brawn - but bull really takes the biscuit

Turning Point: Son's hell prompted a life change

25 June 2004

In 1999 my son informed me that he was a heroin addict. I can't really begin to describe how I felt. I was a nurse at the time, and although my work was very sympathetic at the beginning, this soon came to an end, mainly because there is little understanding of the problem.

Opinion: Editorial - Strong leadership may be a casualty of Cabe's reforms

25 June 2004

Over the next few years, as the Communities Plan rumbles into action, a credible, combative and high-profile design watchdog will be needed more than ever. For this reason alone, it is vital that the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment's reputation for probity is unblemished. The audit into potential conflicts of interest at the commission, published last week, concluded that it had taken "reasonable steps" to ensure impartiality. But it recommended that even more rigorous processes should be put in place. This is absolutely right, and Cabe has promised to act on most of the recommendations.

Opinion: Welfare - no benefit for the poor

25 June 2004

It is hard to know what it's like to be poor without first hand experience. In the middle classes, myself included, there is a latent, unspoken, and therefore unchallenged feeling that poor people remain so through lack of proper effort. Benefits are consequently set at a level which reflects this contempt. In effect, the poor are punished for their poverty.

Opinion: Only one winner in North-West's casino gamble

25 June 2004

There's a whole set of glittering jackpot prizes awaiting regenerators next year - in casinos. Despite mutterings from anti-gambling Old Labourites, this New Labour Government is determined to push on with its Gambling Bill. Now in draft, it will go into Parliament next session and is almost certain to become law next summer. But the big question, for regenerators as well as punters, is exactly who hits the jackpot. Last week's government response to the first report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee gives clues - but remains tantalisingly unclear on where exactly the wheel of fortune is going to stop. It does say that there will be a special category of 'large casinos', with a minimum gaming area of 1,000sq metres and an extra gambling area of 2,500sq metres, plus an additional non-gambling area to which children will be admitted that will offer other entertainments. The response suggests there won't be many of these large casinos - but it leaves the decision up to the new regional planning bodies, which take responsibility for regional spatial strategic planning this year under the new Planning Act.
