The smack of hypocrisy
Article Abstract:
UK journalists are desperate for something unusual to write about as they closely follow the campaigning for the forthcoming general election. For this reason, the allegation that Observer journalist Will Self took drugs on Prime Minister John Major's aeroplane has received extensive coverage. He was employed by the Observer precisely because of his rather unconventional views and way of life, and this newspaper is therefore now being hypocritical in trying to distance itself from him. Like other UK newspapers, it refuses to accept that drugs are a way of life for many decent, caring people.

Racist table talk of Middle England
Article Abstract:
There are signs that the politics of race are now being discussed relatively rationally in the UK. However, this is far from saying that racism no longer exists in British society. There are many signs of hidden racism, such as the lack of black people in public life, and racist attitudes cannot be attributed only to certain specific groups in society. It is now time to begin talking openly about racism, rather than denying its presence.

Time we reclaimed what is rightfully ours
Article Abstract:
Breasts are very much in the public consciousness in the UK, as efforts are being made to increase awareness of breast cancer and breasts are increasingly used in advertising. However, there are still very mixed messages about breasts. They are associated with fun, but can also bring a fatal disease. Many women feel that their breasts do not belong to them, but to their partner, their baby or the medical profession.
