But what about you? Show some self-love with an apres-shopping, turn-down-the-answerphone soak with bath treats you really should give as gifts. The holidays are about giving to others. Such momentary creaks aside, however, it’s an engrossing, subtly thought-provoking debut – or comeback – delivered with potent intensity.To 20 Dec Booking:0131-228 1404. A little too much density at times, perhaps, where Duthie’s efforts at narrative compression lead to the contrived exposition of questions that would surely have arisen before – whether Mother might be better off in a nursing-home, or the fact that keeps his cupboards consistently full by shoplifting. Duthie achieves this through , whose increasingly frantic flamboyance blends with brisk practicality, as well as by sketching the various castles in the air to which the other three retreat when reality gets too much.Guthie’s dialogue displays an easy fluency of voice and idiom, with only the occasional stilted lapse, while complex characterisation lends the piece a satisfying weight. Despite seeking refuge from his (unseen) patient’s incessant demands – in made-up memories of the days when he ran a boutique in Carnaby Street and hob-nobbed with the stars, has reached the end of his tether.

His pleas for help in carrying through what he claims are his mother’s own wishes bring the secrets and lies underlying the foursome’s close-knit relationships to the surface.Set in the northern port of Peterhead – where Irene has just been appointed the fishmarket’s first saleswoman (her ambition contrasting starkly with John’s defining lack of it) – the play juxtaposes the ordinary and extraordinary on multiple levels. is most obviously about euthanasia, depicting a family brought to breaking-point by the strain of caring for a bedridden elderly parent. Far from coming over as issue-driven, it couches its questions amid the broader tensions between characters’ moral attitudes and their various approaches to the necessity of compromise, meanwhile painting in a subtext about gender roles and escape.As the unmarried son nursing his stroke-felled mother, Hunter sustains a brilliant balancing-act between histrionic hilarity and heart-rending pathos, his character the unlikely linchpin of a family circle that includes his brother John, sister-in-law Bunty and niece Irene, who offer moral support if little practical help. And all this in the spare room of a house whose interior wouldn’t look out of place in Chigwell.A delicate blend, then. For this new commercial, devised by London agency Euro RSCG Wnek Gosper, balances the mystery of the original campaign with a more contemporary feel.. Greta

Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh
Standing as a lone panto-free bastion amid the festive glut, the Traverse’s new production offers the odd stylistic nod Yulewards under the aegis of its splendidly camp, cross-dressing protagonist, played by veteran Dame Russell Hunter, while presenting a painfully realistic picture of notions of family togetherness and seasonal goodwill. He is the captor who’s not so sure he’s in control – a wily seducer who’d rather use brain to catch his bird, than brawn.

Unperturbed, she digs a neatly manicured hand into the chocs and pops one into her mouth. He watches with a mixture of uncertainty and awe.So there you have it No James Bond exploits but lots of suspense, nevertheless She’s the predator who is happy to be caught. Upstairs we slip into a room where, on a double bed, there sits the bait: a box of Milk Tray.The intruder, a brunette in black evening dress, is then revealed as she reaches for the box “Hello Tiger,” croons a peculiar voice from the shadows She turns to see her captor close the bedroom door. This is Milk Tray man Nineties-style.The action takes place at night Someone creeps into a house through patio doors. Past potted foliage, an ethnic mask and a white sofa, sharing the intruder’s viewpoint we pad towards the staircase.

We saw him scale cliffs, ski precipices and swim through perilous seas to slip into a mystery woman’s room and leave a box of chocs on her bed before departing.
Meet his successor: a man of average build, mousey hair and an indiscriminate middle-European accent. Perhaps the biggest challenge for any successful advertising campaign is knowing when to call it a day. The ads may be long-running and well- loved, but do they still have an impact with the consumer? And, more importantly, do they still say what the advertiser wants to say about a particular brand?

Such was the debate at Cadbury when it decided to bump off the Man in Black. This chisel-faced action man risked life and limb to deliver a box of Milk Tray throughout the Seventies and Eighties. My children loved this production; so will yours; so will you.Booking: 0171-928 6363. As she does so, the bundles of straw that have to be transformed are thrown in relay by the cast off the stage and back up the aisles while, in contrary motion, a vast bucking snake of glittering gold net is tossed mid-air around the stage like an unnervingly dubious travesty of a beautiful cordon sanitaire.If justice in these stories is often violent in its righteousness, this impression is modified by the way certain tales show ne’er-do-wells outwitting the virtuous.

The extraordinary has become ordinary; nature has been saturated with grace. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins compared the Blessed Virgin to “the air that we breathe”. The basic, vital, element of his existence was the mercy granted through Mary’s motherhood, by the life, death and resurrection of her son.Such are the structures of the Christian’s everyday life. Like a sharp- eyed historian, we do well when we remember the furniture.. “You’ll believe a man can fly!” was the slogan dreamed up by the genius publicist Gordon Arnell for the film that could be said to have been the apogee of Alexander Salkind’s career as a producer. For not only was Superman: the movie (1978) immensely popular with the public, it also swiftly became the most profitable film in the history of Warner Bros, spawning three sequels, creating a film star out of Christopher Reeve, and totally justifying Salkind’s faith in developing a mere idea expounded to him by his own son Ilya, who loved the comic strips as a boy. The scale of Superman was immense, and typified the combination of gut instinct, perseverance and understanding of cinematic scale that seemed to typify the best work of Salkind.
He liked to see himself as the last of a dying breed, a great international independent film producer, a regrettably small coterie that would include Alexander Korda and Sam Spiegel, Jewish refugees who cared more about movies than about the money needed to make them.

Indeed, like these two giants, Salkind rarely had any personal funds, living well from budgets raised and the fees he paid himself. Like those two, Salkind respected talent, and was generous (sometimes over-generous) in paying for it: Marlon Brando’s salary for playing Superman’s real father was $3m for just 13 days work, although Brando himself showed his own generosity towards the Salkinds by granting an extra day of re-shooting without demanding more money. However, when Salkind wanted to use Brando footage in Superman II, Marlon nicked the idea totally. Mario (The Godfather) Puzo was paid $350,000 plus 5 per cent of the gross to develop the Superman comic strip into the film, and playing villain Lex Luthor enabled Gene Hackman to pocket $3m. Salkind knew how, and more importantly, where, to spend money. In Britain, both Pinewood and Twickenham studios have reason to be grateful to the Salkinds.Alexander Salkind was the son of the noted film executive Michael Salkind, and spent his early years in Britain while his father dallied on movies with Garbo and Dietrich. Alex was actually born in Danzig, Germany (which became Gdansk, Poland), and retained an indeterminate accent throughout his life.

He was educated in Berlin, but that soon became impossible for anyone of Russian-Jewish descent, and the Salkinds decamped to Latin America, where Alex followed his father into international co-production making his debut as a producer by packaging Il Moderno Barba Azul (“A Modern Bluebeard”) in 1945, starring an unfortunate Buster Keaton, now on his uppers. In Mexico, Alexander Salkind found his wife, the flamboyant and eccentrically creative Berta Dominguez D, who would collaborate on the screenplays of his future productions, and in 1947, she gave birth to a son, Ilya, who Alex would train up to be his own producer.After a protracted stay in both Cuba and Mexico, the Salkinds (as the industry came to know them) returned to Europe. Alex wheeled and dealed, and raised enough money in Paris to make two notable movies with two of the world’s greatest directors, Orson Welles’s The Trial (1962) and Abel Gance’s Austerlitz (1959), both shown internationally in English, thus beginning a somewhat disturbing trend for commercial international casting and casual disregard for lip- synchronisation, but clearly establishing an early reputation for selecting both talent and subjects, not to mention a shrewd sense of potential commercial screen afterlife.For Alexander Salkind the world was small: he made movies in London (Ballad In Blue, 1965, starring Ray Charles, directed by Paul Henreid), Mexico (Horst Buchholz in Cervantes, 1967), and in Spain (Light at the Edge of the World, teaming Kirk Douglas and Yul Brynner, 1971), but was still himself living on the financial edge. These films weren’t good, nor were they particularly successful Indeed, Cervantes, in particular, was a catastrophe.

Ugly celebrity break-ups and the he-said, she-said that led up to them.

Back home, I read the small print in the E111 handbook, called Health Advice for Travellers. Frances’s condition improved with the prescribed gel, but fever, measles and chickenpox never did appear.Misdiagnosis can happen anywhere, but it is galling to have to pay for it – and this was emergency care for a child. After this charade, we were ushered back to the receptionist, who presented me with a bill for 5,000 pesetas. A quick whip-round revealed we possessed even less cash than I had thought.

In the end, our hosts accepted a British cheque made out for 6,000 pesetas.We chased through town to find a pharmacy before its habitual four-hour siesta and raced north, catching the train with 10 minutes to spare. “Sometimes they come back,” he said.He prescribed medicine to quell Frances’s non-existent fever and a soothing gel, telling me to watch out for spots appearing in her mouth. But the doctor, engrossed in his medical translation manual, emerged triumphantly with “chickenpox!” I assured him Frances had already had it, but neither this information nor the fact that her current malaise in no way resembled chickenpox could deter him. “No, but…”He tried a different tack – what about Windpocken? Wind is the German for wind and pocken means spots, so I agreed and started to explain about the prickly heat. He looked in her eyes, tapped her back and listened while she said “aaah” Then he asked me if she had had measles “Measles?” I repeated disbelievingly. I presumed he had been overwhelmed by humanitarian feelings.In his darkened surgery, the doctor (a German) took Frances to an electronic dentist-style examination chair. The cost of an appointment would be 6,000-8,000 pesetas (pounds 31 to pounds 41.) Medicines would be extra.I showed her my E111, but she wasn’t impressed.

All Spanish doctors were private these days, she asserted, adding with audible disdain that there was some social security, but we would have to travel miles to find out about it It was nearly midday and we had a train to catch. We turned to leave, but the receptionist ran after us – apparently the doctor would see us now. The receptionist asked a few questions (“name?” “fever?”) and we lifted Frances’s T-shirt to show the blotchy marks.Would it be free? “Oh no,” said the receptionist. We applied a cold flannel, but as we set off to catch thetrain, our patient got worse.Luckily, there was a surgery outside the camp-site, and it was open I marched in with my wailing daughter, waving my E111 form.

As we were about to leave the camp-site, seven-year-old Frances started screaming and scratching her chest, which was red and raw. I recognised the symptoms of prickly heat, an intense form of sun-induced itching.Cool baths help, but symptoms can take days to clear Standard medical treatments involve antihistamine tablets. This should have been enough preparation for a week in the Costa Brava, but I had not reckoned on the vagaries of applying documents to real life.Our holiday was uneventful, medically speaking, until the last day. I had travel insurance, Green Card, bail bond and even my toothbrush. Briefly, this means that free or reduced-cost emergency medical treatment should be available when you travel in the new European Economic Area (EEA) – EU states, plus Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.I had my E111. A staggering 6 million trips abroad (about 20 per cent) are taken without travel insurance.

The Prophet was persecuted there by its idolatrous citizenry, who tortured and killed many of his disciples; yet when he returned as a conqueror 10 years on, he forgave those who had wronged him and rejected revenge.The journalists who hound you know nothing of this, of course. In 1989 it was alleged that he shot at an unemployed studio worker, Ricardo Alvarez, at almost point-blank range, but that Alvarez did not report this due to Brando’s connections.At the trial the senior Brando tried to take some of the blame for what happened. His private life might be summed up by a remark the dead girl once made, “He uses women, he used my mother”. The final, haunting, professional comment might be that of Joanne Woodward, who co-starred with him in The Fugitive Kind: “I hated working with Marlon Brando – because he was not there, he was somewhere else There was nothing to reach on to.”. So you’re off to God’s own House of Correction? Excellent: nothing like enduring the austerities of the Mecca pilgrimage for inspiring penitence and stiffening the moral fibres.

By converting to Islam in your Indiana cell, you won a bout with Old Nick – now you have a chance to earn that victory. No doubt your travelling companion Muhammad Ali has told you why you are going. The Hajj is about returning to the centre, focusing on unity, letting the centripetal force of God win out for a few days over the dissipating trends of the world. Caught up in its rites, milling with the millions around the Holy Kaaba like moths around a candle, we forget the four points of the compass and discover a liberating ability to connect with what lies beyond.
I hope this works for you. Like you, I was brought up in Christendom, and I found my first Hajj so unfamiliar and astonishing that I prayed hardly at all. Nowhere else, not even at Disney World, do so many people come together in one place.

Standing, praying, eating, talking with 2 million other men and women from every race is a dazzling confirmation of one’s own insignificance and of the global fellowship that is Islam.The Saudis have promised you red carpet treatment. In 1986 young Brando assaulted his estranged wife, Mary McKenna Brando, and threatened to shoot her some months later during divorce proceedings. She was questioned by the French authorities, who declared her “mentally incompetent”. The son born prematurely was said to be “drug-addicted”.Cheyenne was said to have attempted suicide twice before the case came to trial, in February 1991, when the prosecution came up with earlier examples of Christian’s violence. Christian claimed that the shooting was accidental, but that Drollet had been beating up Cheyenne – who fled to Tahiti when it was thought that “accessory” charges would be brought.

In May 1990 Christian Brando was accused of killing her lover, Dag Drollet, in an argument in Brando’s Los Angeles villa. He was said to be selling the island, but in 1988 was reported to be living there with a Japanese lady, Yachio Tsubaki.In 1989 Cheyenne was injured in a jeep crash on the island, and Brando blamed the accident for her subsequent bouts of depression. If he could convince me to pay him and then release him he would.”John Malkovich, like most contemporary actors in thrall to Brando’s early talent, once observed that Brando simply liked to enjoy himself; he liked jokes, larking around; and that he shouldn’t be criticised for what he now did because he had achieved so much.Brando’s personal tragedies began in 1982 when his lawyer-agent, Norman Garey, who had presided over all his recent deals, shot himself; and when in 1983 Tetiaroa was struck by a hurricane, wiping out almost all his investment, he needed to work for those inflated sums. He felt similarly; Richard Donner, who directed Superman, reported: “I checked him out with various people and the one thing they all said was that Brando didn’t like to work. Despite the much-publicised troubles on Mutiny on the Bounty, he managed to retain control over most of the films in which he consented to appear. There were those willing to pay Brando’s huge fees for prestige purposes, for results as grotesque and overblown as his figure: Superman (1978), Apocalypse Now (1979), Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992) He was no longer to be savoured, but avoided.

Like the vast majority of men I’ve had several homosexual experiences and I’m not remotely ashamed of it.”The other consequence of the expedition to the South Seas was Brando’s purchase of the island of Tetiaroa, where he communed with the sea and the sky, emerging to make a series of mainly indifferent films. In her book Brando for Breakfast Kashfi claims that he was also courting the actresses France Nuyen and Rita Moreno.Cameron Mitchell, acting with him in Desire, recalled Brando announcing “I’m trisexual”. That became publicly known in 1983 when Brando told the French magazine Cine-Revue that he had “dabbled” in homosexuality: “For me sex is something you can’t describe If you like, let’s say sex has no sex. She charged Brando with mental cruelty in filing suit in August 1959, after legally separating in September the previous year. A son, Christian, had been born in May, named after the actor Christian Marquand whose relationship with Brando “displayed an affection towards each other that far overreached the usual expressions of friendship”.

The meeting led to “an exceptionally blunt set of exchanges” because of Japan’s apparent failure to pledge tariff cuts on a number of fish and wood products, said Ms Barshefsky.The banana issue, however, remains the most pressing in terms of world trade peace and it is causing concern at the WTO. “Either the Americans don’t have any faith in the WTO or they think they can get away with a heavier hit against Europe,” said a WTO source.The argument that the vagueness of the original WTO dispute panel decision, which while condemning the banana regime didn’t specify how the EU should amend it, is the reason for the current muddle holds some water. Now the company donates heavily to both the Republicans and the Democrats, with its chairman Carl Lindner notorious in Washington circles for his tight connections with politicians. For Europe, last week’s trade war threat by the US is even more alarming given the Democrats’ good performance in the congressional elections earlier this month.But the row over the EU banana regime isn’t the only target of US trade hawks’ wrath.

But Chiquita is one of the most active and effective corporate lobbyists in Washington. In the 1950s United Fruit, as Chiquita used to be called, helped orchestrate and pay for US intervention in Central America to ensure a friendly business environment. But that would take about two and a half years to complete.The US lost its temper and last week it threatened to double tariffs on selected European imports – ranging from party tricks to tweed jackets – worth a total of pounds 900m to pounds 100m of British exports to the US, unless the EU amends the regime again before it comes into force on 1 January.Now, according to Brussels sources, the EU will take WTO action against the US sanctions unless President Clinton replies to a letter from EU Commission President Jaques Santer by 25 November when the WTO disputes panel meets.The US seems to be taking things a bit far, especially given that it doesn’t even produce bananas and Hurricane Mitch has practically wiped out all banana production in Central America anyway. Last year the World Trade Organisation supported an American complaint that the regime discriminated against US banana distributors such as Chiquita. The EU recently agreed a proposal to amend the regime to comply with the WTO ruling, but the US argues that the new regime does not fulfil the obligations put on the EU.
The EU, for its part, with Britain one of the stongest supporters of Caribbean producers, said if the US didn’t like it then it could make another complaint to the WTO.

THE SEEMINGLY absurd trade spat between the US and the European Union that erupted last week over the EU’s banana regime could be masking more than just a problem with a yellow fruit. As the global economic downturn gathers force, the mood of trade politics in America is turning ominous. Washington and Europe have been fighting for years over the EU banana regime which guarantees access to EU markets for bananas from EU member states’ former colonies, mainly in the Caribbean, at the expense of cheaper, bigger Central American ones. It charges a flat per-day fee and undertakes to give a whole range of advice from suitability of the manufacturer through to local legal and accountancy work.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistani authorities urged people on Tuesday in the Swat Valley’s main town to leave their homes for safer places as security forces could soon launch an offensive against Taliban militants there. World  |  ChinaA February peace pact aimed at ending Taliban violence in the Swat valley northwest of the capital has all but collapsed as nuclear-armed Pakistan comes under U.S. pressure to get tough with the militants rather than appease them.President Asif Ali Zardari, widower of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, is due to meet U.S.

President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Washington on Wednesday for talks on the growing militant threat in the region.Here are some questions and answers about the issues in Swat and the surrounding region.WHAT IS AT STAKE?From Swat the militants had moved into neighboring Buner area, just 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Islamabad. Failure to stem the Taliban’s creeping advance from enclaves in ethnic Pashtun tribal areas on the Afghan border sparked worry among both Pakistanis and Western allies that militants were close to the gateways to Islamabad.A military spokesman said a few hundred militants in the mountains never posed a real threat to the capital. But some security analysts said the guerrillas could have used Buner as a jumping-off point to strike at Tarbela, a dam that provides water and electricity to much of the country. The militants had also moved closer to a road running north to China.Before the military offensive in Buner, Western allies, who need Pakistani help to defeat al Qaeda and stabilize Afghanistan, worried the government seemed too willing to appease militants.While Swat, about 130 km (80 miles) northwest of Islamabad, is not on the Afghan border, Western countries with troops in Afghanistan fear the area could become a bastion for militants fighting in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.Obama said last week he was confident about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal but the New York Times reported growing U.S. concern militants might try to snatch a weapon in transit or insert sympathizers into laboratories or fuel-production facilities.ARE THE MILITARY ACTIONS A RESPONSE TO U.S. PRESSURE?The military moves in Buner and subsequent actions in Swat itself came on the heels of a visit to Islamabad by Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S.

Joint Chiefs of Staff, who may have played a role in persuading the weak civilian-led government to act, and before the talks in Washington where Zardari is likely to press for more U.S. military and economic aid.Washington is considering rushing hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency aid, the U.S. Senate’s second-ranking Republican, Jon Kyl of Arizona, told reporters.U.S. Days later, Taliban fighters entered Buner and nearby Shangla district, raising alarm at home and in the West.Aides say Zardari was reluctant to sign the deal and referred the issue to the parliament after the ANP threatened to leave the federal coalition government.(Editing by Robert Birsel and Jerry Norton) World China.

International comparisons suggest that in literacy we are in the second division, well behind New Zealand and the United States, to mention just English-speaking examples. In setting up the Literacy Task Force, which will report on Thursday, David Blunkett anticipated this challenge. Its task has been to design a strategy which, if pursued over a five to ten year period, would ensure that all eleven-year-olds could not only read but read well. If we want our school and college leaving standards to match the best in the 21st century, we must first ensure that reading standards are transformed.
In the 1996 national tests, only 57 per cent of pupils achieved or exceeded the standard expected of eleven year olds.

This has profound implications for our national education system. Unless its standards match those of the best worldwide, our young people may find that in the global job market they fall far behind their peers from Singapore, New Zealand or Germany They will have been betrayed. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank recruits employees from over 50 different national education systems It is not alone. “Which may be why polls are not much in evidence these days.Because, far from being too simple for us, they are actually too sophisticated for most voters.If you agree, phone Yes If you disagree, phone the No line. This Malcolm Rifkind business is very serious, is it not?No, it’s not.Who cares if he is Jewish?Except those people who are already puzzled by his strangled Scottish accent.Except those people who miss Rabbi Hugo Gryn on Radio 4 very much and think of Malcolm Rifkind as a pretty poor Jewish replacement.8 Hmm … Well, what’s wrong with questions like that?Everything.They are the sort of questions which only politicians want to know the answers to.They are the sort of dumb-assed questions asked by interviewers on the Today programme.They don’t reflect the kind of questions the voter is asking.6. How do you mean, being asked the wrong questions?Well, the pollsters only ever ask questions like: If there were an election tomorrow, which party would you vote for?Or, which of the three party leaders do you rate most highly?Or, if John Major stepped down, who would you favour most as the next Tory leader?5.

It’s just that we are fed up being asked the wrong questions.4. The Lottery is all about forecasting things, and so are football pools and astrology, and so are all those programmes on BBC which show the build- up to Five Nations rugby internationals, although that might be a bit different, because international rugby is about the only sport that the BBC has still got hold of, so they have to milk it dry until everyone is bored silly, but the question remains: Although we still love speculation, have we actually got fed up with polls themselves?Yes.No.No, we haven’t. The public is always wasting its money phoning in to vote on matters they cannot possibly affect. The absence of polls is very curious, because the British have always loved indulging in speculation. All we have had so far is the rough findings of canvassers and a defiant shake of the white flag from “Dr” Brian Mawhinney But no polls. Why not, do you think?Because the polls got it so wrong at the last election that the papers don’t want to burn their fingers again.Because the polls got it right at the last election and then people changed their minds after reading the poll results and before voting, thus making it look as if the polls were wrong.Because Tory papers are sick of Blair being so far ahead all the time and would rather not even print the polls.Because the papers have finally tumbled to the fact that polls are not news and nobody gives a toss about them.3.

Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “After asequential decrease of 32% in the fourth quarter of 2008, orders for Cohu`ssemiconductor equipment were down only 4% sequentially in Q1.

We received the first orders for Pyramid,our new IC test handler that incorporates proprietary thermal technology tooptimize speed grading of microprocessors and high-speed graphics chips.Characterization and production qualification is underway at a majormicroprocessor manufacturer.” Donahue continued, “Our microwave equipment operations recorded increased ordersand had another excellent quarter.

With a record backlog and solid orderpipeline, principally in defense and law enforcement applications, we expect BMSto have a strong second quarter.” Donahue concluded, “Equipment utilization on some IC test floors is trending upslightly and certain customers have increased their forecasts in recent weeks.While this is encouraging, the business environment remains difficult andequipment utilization is still well below normal levels. During this downturn,we have reduced costs and with our strong balance sheet, we are continuing tomake investments that will enable Cohu to benefit as business conditionsimprove.” Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:Included within this press release are non-GAAP financial measures thatsupplement the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operationsprepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

“Mature people with valuable skills and experience accumulated from years in other professions need no longer be barred from employment in the service,” she said. She denied the changes would leave untrained officers responsible for dangerous criminals. The National Association of Probation Officers is to seek judicial review of the decision, which they say has been taken against a wealth of evidence and advice and puts the public at risk.
Out of 504 individuals and organisations consulted by the Home Office, only 11 were in favour. Over 200 MPs, university vice-chancellors and the Central Probation Council, the national employers’ organisation, have reservations about the plans, which they say will leave recruits lacking basic educational skills in areas such as motivation and psychology.Under the changes, officers will no longer need to gain a university social work diploma in a two-year course before being recruited, and will instead be trained “on the job”.Baroness Blatch, the Home Office minister, said the move is intended to make it easier for older people – including those with military or uniformed backgrounds – to join the service. Probation officers are to take Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, to court over his plans to dismantle their college-based training. The fact that he does not do business on the basis of deals is equally well understood.”The meeting was a periodic one of the officially constituted National Trade Union and Labour Party Liaison Committee.. This could be legally and politically controversial since there are heavy restrictions on the political participation of unions – like the teachers’ organisations – which are not affiliated to the Labour Party”.But Labour said last night: “The fact that Tony Blair meets union leaders is well known.

Mr Blair’s office last night reacted with an angry denial to suggestions that minutes of the 18 September meeting suggested that Mr Blair had struck a secret deal for union funding and help in return for a series of pledges on workers’ rights. The short minute of the meeting, chaired by Bill Morris, general secretary of the TGWU, records that Mr Blair “stated that the role of the unions in winning [key targeted seats] will be very important and that he hoped the union co-ordinators will be welcomed into the constituency campaign teams”.
Elsewhere the minutes say that an agenda for rights at work will be an important element of the election campaign “with a set of key pledges from the party”.In one sentence which has already attracted the attention of Conservative Central Office John Mann, the party’s national officer, had said that “some of the non-affiliated unions” would be involved in planning for the forthcoming general election. Tony Blair held a private meeting with trade union leaders last month at which he made clear they had a key role in the general election campaign and promised that “rights at work” would be an “important element” of the party’s election programme.

A delegate urged that British Gas be brought back into public ownership as soon as Labour won the election. “I see old people in tears all the time because they cannot afford the prices charged to line millionaires’ pockets,” he said, words which Tony Benn greeted like old friends.There was a hint that the delegate might not get his way, however, in the official documentation for the conference. “Well that is true.” He then asked all representatives of the media to leave the room so he could spin in private.Meanwhile, back in the hall, there was one moment when the old did its best to bat against the spin. Peter Mandelson hosted the biggest meeting of the opening day, handing out leaflets recruiting new canvassers (“if you reply within seven days,” purred the copy, “you will be entered into a draw for a special gift personally signed by Tony Blair”).”You may have read over the summer that I am a great believer in media manipulation,” said Mr Mandelson, opening the meeting.

The biggest scrum for information, however, was around the Sainsbury’s kiosk. “Guess the grape and win a bottle”, said a woman handing out free beakers of plonk. “And if you can’t guess, just have a drink anyway.” Like a corner shop when a superstore opens up the road, the Fabian Society stall opposite (personned by a Liz Davies lookalike, ear lobes straining under several kilos of costume jewellery) was unable to compete with information like that.It is on the fringe, away from the stage-managed rally on the platform, that you imagine you would find the kind of talk to make Tony Benn smile Except even here, the spin doctors were in control. The delegates, it seemed, preferred to be elsewhere, where the real action was.
