Big-bank bashing is pure political hypocrisy

Alistair Darling made it clear this week that the Government had not rescued the banking sector “out of some charitable act”, so the banks had a duty to get lending. At the meeting with the chief executives of seven of Britain’s biggest banks he effectively threatened them with a competition inquiry if they failed to increase cheap lending to mortgage borrowers and small businesses.

Green Day creating a ‘soundtrack to life’

NEW YORK (AP) — In an era where downloaded singles far outpace the sales of complete CDs, putting out a concept album seems a quaint, if not futile, way to present new music. If any act can restore the luster of the complete album, it may be Green Day: Their “21st Century Breakdown,” released this spring, continues in the tradition of the band’s Grammy-winning “American Idiot” album, with key characters, political themes and compelling story that is told track by track, with elaborate artwork to further illustrate its themes.

Getting the Party Favor that Sets Your Party Apart and People will Remember

Every party must have party favors and every baby shower needs baby shower favors , but most people oversee this and spend little to no time thinking about the small gifts bring presented to the guests at their event. Most of the time, people just walk down the street to the nearest store and grab some candy and a bag to put it in or something of the sort. No one really seems to spend time and effort on this small but important detail, even though it may be the difference between event of t

Should Your Teen Have a Credit Card?

Associated Press Blaming credit cards for young adults’ money woes is popular these days; high-school and college students are putting way too many college expenses and other charges on their cards, the thinking goes . But as credit-card issuers and Congress race to crack down on over-borrowing, do we risk barring the door so tightly that teens miss out on opportunities to learn financial responsibility?

The dust of dissent can still choke this regime

In 80 cities across the globe this weekend, demonstrators belatedly gathered in support of Iran’s voters. But international solidarity has taken a full six weeks since the stolen elections to manifest itself, and many people outside Iran must have wondered whether it was not too late to “make a difference”. Iran’s million-strong post-election armies of protest have been bludgeoned off the streets by vicious militias, cut off from each other and the outside world by a draconian and expensive censorship drive, and terrorised by shootings, disappearances and the open use of confessions obtained by torture.

I wouldn’t trust Google with my personal info

When I read in the pages of this newspaper this month that the Conservative Party was planning to transfer people’s health data to Google, my heart sank. The policy described was so naive I could only hope that it was an unapproved kite-flying exercise by a young researcher in Conservative HQ. If not, what was proposed was both dangerous in its own right, and hazardous to the public acceptability of necessary reforms to the state’s handling of our private information.

This was the war that shaped our world

I last visited Fletcher House in Wells on January 18, when it was celebrating the 50th anniversary of its opening. I did not see Harry Patch, who was resting in his room, but I was shown round the home, met many residents, and even made a brief speech. The reason I was invited was that Fletcher House was named after my father, Edmund Fletcher Rees-Mogg. He was the chairman of the Welfare Committee of the Somerset County Council in the late Forties and Fifties. He acquired a chain of houses for the county council and supervised their conversion into homes for the elderly. Fletcher House was the first to be purpose-built.

The Internet World Has the Gift Ideas You’ve Been Searching For
