The government is seeking to persuade the public to accept GM foods, and there are reasons to be concerned about the government's response to the debate on GM products.

Londoners should be free to vote for Red Ken

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is keen to ensure that the first elected mayor of London, England, is not Ken Livingstone, who is associated with the most negative aspects of Labour activism in the 1980s. It is clear that Livingstone opposes some of the policies of the new-look Labour party, but he is a member of the party's National Executive Committee and it would not be right to deny Londoners the opportunity to vote for him. Livingstone would be an ideal mayor, as he is stylish without being glamorous and slightly vulgar without being brash.
