If your train is late, you can complain on my website
Article Abstract:
There is considerable potential to make extensive use of the Internet in the management of public services in London, England. The city's residents will be able to contact the new Mayor, to be elected in 2000, via a dedicated governmental website, placing London at the forefront of the UK government's policy of ensuring that all Britons will be able to communicate with the government via the Internet. It will also be possible to use the Internet to provide Londoners with information about major agencies such as the Metropolitan Police and to allow them to express their views about the standard of public services.

Why racist officers flourish in an anti-racist force
Article Abstract:
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon has shown strong commitment to strengthening the force's links with the general public and to dealing with racism in London, England, and within the force itself. However, he has consistently supported police officers accused of sexist, racist or violent behaviour. It has become clear that his anti-racism stance has not been translated into positive action, and he should resign if he is not now prepared to really deal with the culture and the people who have brought the Metropolitan Police into disrepute.

Why has the Government picked this needless fight with us backbenchers?
Article Abstract:
The UK government has come under strong pressure from some Labour MPs to reconsider its Welfare Bill, under which entitlement to incapacity benefit would be restricted. However, the Welfare Bill to be debated by the House of Commons on Nov 3, 1999, remains unchanged. The backbench MPs who remain opposed to this legislation have not adopted this stance merely for the sake of being confrontational, but genuinely feel that the compromise being offered to the government in the form of amendments tabled in the House of Lords by Jack Ashley is reasonable.
