A generation that sees drugs as no big deal

Article Abstract:

The UK's illegal drugs trade has reached a value of around 3 billion pounds sterling a year, and some observers claim that by the end of the 1990s almost all young people will have experimented with some kind of drug. Most young people now go to places where drugs are freely available, and even most adults have taken illegal drugs at some time. Some MPs are now in favour of the legalisation of some drugs, but political parties are unwilling to move in this direction for fear of losing popular support.

Life or death, long distance

Article Abstract:

The Law Lords who sit on the UK's Privy Council are still the final court of appeal for 16 Commonwealth countries, even though the UK's influence over Commonwealth territories is now very limited in other areas. Some observers believe that this situation should be changed, while others feel that the Law Lords play a vital role in saving prisoners on death row in the Caribbean. Indeed, the Privy Council is now frequently seen as a sort of court of human rights for the Commonwealth.
