Beware the wealthy man with a good tale to tell
Article Abstract:
Geoffrey Robinson's discreet acts of generosity to the UK Labour party in the past are placing an increasingly heavy burden on the government. He has revealed that he diverted a large amount of money into Prime Minister Tony Blair's blind trust before the latter became Labour party leader. Blair's office has dismissed Robinson's revelations as 'hype,' but has not actually denied them. It is now becoming clear to ordinary people that New Labour was largely founded on Robinson's money. It is unbelievable that Blair did not known the identity of the bind trust's donors.

Hanging Hitler's painters
Article Abstract:
An exhibition of paintings from Adolf Hitler's private art collection is being staged at the Mehrzweckhalle in Weimer, Germany. Many of the visitors are uncertain of the correct reaction to these paintings, many of which show German landscapes. Most of the works are extremely predictable. Many of them were displayed in the 1937 Great Exhibition of German Art in Munich, Germany, but have not been seen in public since that time.
