The first three out of the bag will win.Photograph by Ben Elwes. Great Universal Stores surprised the stock market yesterday with a pounds 1.6bn hostile bid for Argos, the catalogue retailer.
Argos rejected the bid as ‘opportunistic’ and must fight the takeover without its chief executive who is seriously ill Nigel Cope, City Correspondent reports. GUS turned hostile after failing to agree terms with the Argos management during two meetings in the past week. GUS pitched its cash offer at 570p but the Argos share price soared 42 per cent to 630p, indicating that the City regards it as only an opening shot. GUS shares closed 29p higher at 762p.
“At the right price it is an attractive deal but it would not look so good much over 630p,” said Nick Bubb at SG Securities.
Argos rejected the offer and advised its shareholders to reject the offer. Argos also announced that its chief executive, Mike Smith, is unable to undertake his full range of duties and is undergoing a course of medical treatment. The company has decided to search for a new chief executive designate. “To describe it [the bid] as opportunistic in view of all the circumstances would be an understatement,” it said.Analysts were sceptical that a counter-bidder would emerge. Some suggested Kingfisher but it would run into regulatory difficulties as its Woolworths chain has a high market share in toys in which Argos is also strong.It is GUS’s first ever hostile bid in its 80-year history and will be funded by around pounds 1bn debt, the first time the company has owed a penny since the 1950s.
Lord Wolfson, GUS chairman, first approached Argos nine months ago about a possible link in home shopping. It held bid talks with Sir Richard Lloyd, the Argos chairman, twice in the last week but they broke down on price. “Our impression was that they agreed there was a certain logic to the deal but there was a big gap on price,” Lord Wolfson said.GUS said its offer represented a 40 per cent premium to the closing Argos price on 27 January and so was “full and fair”.Lord Wolfson said the logic of the deal was not to cut costs or clear out the Argos management, most of whom would be retained. He said the deal would give GUS a high street presence with 433 stores, which could be used to build a valuable database on customer shopping habits.A deal would enable GUS to offer Argos products though its own catalogues, which include Kay’s and Choice, and to include GUS ranges in the Argos product selection. GUS also said it would be able to help Argos build a home shopping and home delivery operation at a fraction of the cost of the programme planned by Argos.
It said it would be able to offer call centres, and a delivery infrastructure using its White Arrow van network, which handles 110 million parcels a year. GUS would also be able to offer credit to customers using its Experian finance operation.Lord Wolfson said Argos had been facing considerable pressure as rivals grabbed market share in its core markets of toys, electricals and jewellery. A good home shopping operation would also help alleviate Argos’ problems with long queues at Christmas, he said.He said he did not expect the deal to run into problems with the regulatory authorities as there were no market share problems.The offer is a huge blow to Argos, which was one of the stock market’s star performers in 1995 and early 1996 but has since fallen from grace. Both have fallen rapidly in the past two years and the gap is now as wide as it has ever been.However, at least 10 changes to benefit rules since 1979 have all helped to reduce the number of claimants by far more than what most economists would take as a “true” measure of unemployment.As a result, the headline jobless total became one of the most discredited and politicised of all official statistics. The ONS is to base a monthly estimate of the number of people seeking jobs and available to work on the quarterly Labour Force Survey (LFS).Like the critics of the many “fiddles” which helped reduce the headline claimant count over the years, the ONS would have preferred to switch to a full monthly survey of the jobs market But the cost of at least pounds 10m a year was prohibitive. The compromise will cost about pounds 250,000 a year.Tim Holt, director of the ONS, said: “There has been a lack of confidence in the labour market figures and this has affected public confidence in statistics at large.”He added he expected the Government would soon be holding consultation on its commitment to create an independent statistical service.The ONS will continue to publish the number of claimants, as this is readily available from benefit offices.John Philpott, director of the Employment Policy Institute, an independent think-tank, said: “This is a step in the right direction.”But he added that even the new, internationally comparable measure left out some unemployed people such as lone parents who might not be actively looking for work but whom the Government was keen to get into jobs.The two measures – the claimant count and the existing quarterly LFS unemployment total – have tended to move in the same direction. Starting in April, the headline jobless total will appear to jump by some 500,000 to about 1.9 million as the result of a decision by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to emphasise an alternative measure of unemployment conforming to international standards, and downplay the current total.
The decision – first reported in The Independent last October but delayed by last-ditch resistance within Whitehall – does not go as far as some critics would like.

You must have also kept the insured car in an efficient and roadworthy condition. What was needed was: a new G7 agreement; a Japanese economic stimulus; the yen going up by 20 per cent; fiscal tightening in Germany and a fall in German interest rates; and a US initiative for a new Gatt round to do the unfinished business of the Uruguay round.Put these two together – a move back to basics by industry and sensible economic and exchange rate policies – and there is a plan for a slow but steady economic recovery.

David Platt’s reign as head coach of the England Under-21 team or teams, as he used 22 players got off to an impressive start here last night, his eager young beavers supplying a performance to match the result, which became an emphatic one with two goals in the last three minutes. David Platt’s reign as head coach of the England Under-21 team or teams, as he used 22 players got off to an impressive start here last night, his eager young beavers supplying a performance to match the result, which became an emphatic one with two goals in the last three minutes. If there was inevitably a slightly fragmented look to a match of 19 substitutions, there were also strong individual showings from Jermaine Defoe, Darius Vassell, Jonathan Greening, Luke Chadwick and John Terry, among others, and some encouraging team-work too. Vassell put the home side ahead early on and Defoe, West Ham’s rare prospect, was involved in the other three goals, the first of them within seconds of replacing the Villa striker soon after the interval. “There are some quality players there, and some intelligence too,” said Platt. “To break into the senior squad is very, very hard but it wouldn’t surprise me if one or two do step up.”Before the game, Terry, the Chelsea defender, was named captain despite having been sent off in the final minute of the 3-1 defeat by Greece in June, which proved to be Howard Wilkinson’s rather out of tune swan-song.
Luke Young, playing at right-back as Platt sensibly employed Eriksson’s favoured 4-4-2 system, was also dismissed in that game, and the disciplinary record might well have worsened last night had the referee seen Francis Jeffers swing a punch at Theo Janssen midway through the first half.Jeffers, Arsenal’s most expensive summer recruit, had an otherwise quiet time, unlike his striking partner Vassell, who had clearly benefited from Villa’s summer Intertoto Cup campaign. In only the fifth minute he collected the ball 25 yards out, turned cleverly past his marker and sent a fierce drive into the top corner of the net.Greening then had a goal disallowed for fouling the goalkeeper, Dorus de Vries, who fell awkwardly and had to be taken off. Having lost Blackburn’s David Dunn to an injury, England made a further five substitutions at half-time, but it was their seventh new man who created the greatest impression. Defoe came on for Vassell, who had been heavily fouled, and from the resulting free-kick, taken by Greening, the little striker poached a goal, just as he had done on his debut against Mexico. The Dutch improved briefly, Arjen Robben’s lob landing on the crossbar. But England finished much the stronger; in the last few minutes Defoe sent Malcolm Christie round the goalkeeper for a third goal and finished a well-crafted passing move himself to complete a good first night for Platt.

Tiger Woods yesterday was neither chased by a bear nor attacked by an autograph hunter, but instead fell foul of the longest par-four hole in the history of the USPGA Championship in practice at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Tiger Woods yesterday was neither chased by a bear nor attacked by an autograph hunter, but instead fell foul of the longest par-four hole in the history of the USPGA Championship in practice at the Atlanta Athletic Club.
The 18th hole on the Highland Course has been stretched to 490 yards, normally the length of a par-five.
Woods hit a driver off the tee and though he was able to carry the pond in front of the green with a three-iron, he twice put approach shots into the water on the right.Woods, winner for the last two years, praised the venue for the 83rd USPGA as a “straightforward course with no tricks where you can be aggressive with the driver.” But the world No 1 criticised the changes that are currently being made at Augusta National, home of the Masters.All but three of the par-fours have been altered with 300 yards added to the length of the course. In particular, the 18th hole, which plays steeply up hill, has been extended by 60 yards. “Every year there is always something a little different at Augusta as they have adapted to the modern technology,” said the double Masters champion “But I don’t agree with making holes 60 yards longer. The [par-five] 13th was a great risk-reward hole where you could make three or seven based on whether you can draw the ball.”Now a lot of guys will have to lay up and there will be a lot less threes and sevens but more fours and fives. “After recent thunderstorms here in Georgia, the course is soft and playing even longer than the yardage of 7,213 suggests.
Even Vijay Singh needed a three-wood for his second at the 18th. “They’ve set this course up perfectly for Tiger,” said Retief Goosen, the US Open champion. “They think they are making it difficult for Tiger, but it isn’t.”He’s smiling He knows he has a big advantage over everybody. All the trouble is out there about 280 yards and he flies it about 310.” Goosen will play alongside Woods and Open champion David Duval tomorrow and Friday in the traditional grouping of the season’s major winners.Woods was hit in the mouth by an autograph hunter’s book on Monday “It was just an excited fan, a little kid.” Woods said. “I’m still here.” He said the same about a bear that prowled near where Tiger and Mark O’Meara were fishing on a recent rip to Alaska. Woods has not played since finishing 25th in the Open and has not practised much either, preferring to relax before an intense seven weeks up to the Ryder Cup at The Belfry next month.

His strategy – concentrating his forces in the south instead of the northern states where Congress has lost ground to the National Front – now looks misguided. Not only may Congress lose, but Mr Rao, by crushing all adversaries within his party, may have shattered Congress for years to come.Amid the thousands of candidates are several bandits, Bombay film stars and even a eunuch named after Kali, the goddess of destruction. Seven of Mr Rao’s ministers were forced to resign and all were denied party tickets for the May elections. They want to kick out Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the other brand names which to them symbolise all that is wrong with the West.Many of the country’s top politicians are facing charges in a huge corruption scandal. Few doubt that the police investigation was triggered by Mr Rao, since the victims are his biggest rivals both inside and outside his Congress party. Health experts consider 65 per cent of all Indian children under the age of five to be malnourished.Mr Rao is committed to liberalising India’s economy.
But his leftist and right-wing foes are trying to persuade voters that Mr Rao’s reforms have gone too far, too fast and have failed to lift India’s poor out of misery. Both the BJP and the National Front claim that if elected, they will restrict foreign investment to power and infra-structure. With nearly 50 births every minute, India’s population growth is the highest in the world. This has eroded the advances made by the Congress government’s economic reforms; yearly income has dropped from $330 (pounds 215) in 1991 to $290 in 1993. Over 40 per cent of India’s 920 million people live in poverty.Ignored, too, in the electoral fray is the fact that India spends only $9 a year per person on education and one dollar on health.
None of the parties is willing to confront urgent issues such as India’s booming population or its poverty. If this forecast proves true, India faces the unsettling prospect of a hung parliament, or a coalition government patched together between one of the big three parties and the rowdy regional ones.Like the gymnasium wrestler intent on grinding his opponent’s face in the mud, the politicians have lost sight of any goal beyond their own personal victory. Gains by the BJP and the leftist coalition are expected to reduce Congress’s share to less than 200 parliamentary seats. Both are joining a breakaway party led by another Congressman, GK Moonapar, who described Ms Jayalalitha as “undemocratic, fascist and corrupt”.An opinion poll conducted by Outlook magazine showed that although Congress is expected to win most seats in the 545-member Lok Sabah, or lower house, Mr Rao’s party will be flailing to reach a majority.
The Congress party’s leader, premier Narasimha Rao, 74, yesterday was left staggering after the resignation of two cabinet ministers – P Chidambaram of commerce, and M Arunachalam in charge of industry. Both men were vital to Mr Rao’s campaign in the southern states, and Mr Chidambaram was also a leading architect behind the government’s economic reforms.The two ministers are from Tamil Nadu and were angered by Mr Rao’s pact with the state’s chief minister, a preening ex-film actress named Jayalalitha. The battle among the three main parties – the ruling Congress party, the right-wing Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the leftist coalition, the National Front – is expected to be closely fought and dirty.All parties have been hit by last-minute defections, Congress the worst. Or, when all else fails, gangs of these wrestlers are hired to steal the ballot boxes on election day.In this free-for-all general election, to be held next month, the service of these rent-a-goons is much in demand.

One of the first trips that any Indian politician makes during his election campaign is to the nearest akhara, the gymnasium of wrestlers. There, from among the muscled and oiled youths grappling in thick mud, the politician will chose his campaign staff.More crucial than speechwriters or spin doctors, the wrestler acts as the Indian politician’s bodyguard and his bullying enforcer who gets out the vote through bribes, threats and free booze. His last victim however was a California timber executive, killed opening a mailbomb in his Sacramento office on April 24, 1995.The first of the Unabomber’s 16 attacks was in May 1978 in Chicago. Only once was he sighted, just before a bombing near a computer store in Salt Lake City.Along the way he has developed into a skilful amateur chemist and bombmaker. His earlier devices were primitive but in the most recent cases elaborate bombs, about the size of a videocassette, have been his trademark, sometimes coming with his unofficial signature “FC”.That too was the term he used to describe himself (in the plural) in the published tract. But investigators have never believed that the Unabomber was anything other than a single individual..

After a thoroughly professional demolition job on Pau, the Tigers went to the top of their group, and a victory against Glasgow Caledonians at Welford Road on Saturday will guarantee that they will return there when the competition goes to the last eight.As well as Leicester played, Pau, who travel to Pontypridd for their final pool match next weekend, were indescribably poor.
When the French are good they are very very good and when they are bad they are shocking. Yesterday Pau, who sound like something out of the Teletubbies, played like complete dummies.Their only previous loss in 15 Heineken Cup ties at the Stade du Hameau was against Leicester in 1996. The Tigers, who hammered them 46-18 at Welford Road in October, clearly have their measure. Leicester won by a try, three penalties and two drop goals to a penalty, the only touchdown coming from the stand-in captain Neil Back.Apart from the odd disruption at the scrum, Leicester, the English champions who are going for a hat-trick of Premiership titles, were, for the most part, in cruise control. They had a solid platform at the line-out, dominated the fringes and, when necessary, defended cleverly and in numbers.
They did whatever was necessary and it did not involve busting a gut.Against such organisation, level-headedness and authority, Pau simply self-destructed. Their forwards were cumbersome, and their threequarters, without exception, looked as if they were equipped with butter-fingers. Desperate is the word.The first half could barely have gone better for Leicester. They thought the first 20 minutes would be crucial and were prepared for an opening onslaught It never came.
Instead it was the Frenchmen who were nervous, hesitant and disjointed.On a clear day there is an excellent view of the Pyrenees; yesterday the mountains were shrouded in cloud as heavy rain fell before the kick-off. The going was heavy and it was Pau who made heavy weather of it, committing a stream of handling mistakes which literally played into Leicester’s hands.Within the first minute, David Arrieta fumbled the ball near his line, giving the Tigers an encouraging foothold. On his European debut Louis Deacon, the 20-year-old understudy to the suspended Leicester captain Martin Johnson, impressively won the first line-out, the French fell offside and Tim Stimpson kicked the penalty from 30 yards.When Deacon took advantage of Pau’s indecision by bringing off an interception on the French 22, a try looked likely, but the young lock’s pass to the unmarked Geordan Murphy on the right wing was not swift enough or accurate enough, forcing the wing to check. When the ball was recycled, Andy Goode put in an ill-judged kick to the corner when the better option would have been to run it.Goode, though, had learned his lesson. Seven days ago he and Leicester played a tactically inept game in the semi-finals of the Tetley’s Bitter Cup, opening out at almost every opportunity.
Mark Rosel, 23, a business analyst at Capital One, adds that contrary to popular opinion, not all banking jobs are in London. That counts for a lot because the exams are really hard work.”For those wishing to join the world of banking at graduate level, there are still plenty of opportunities to study for a professional qualification. “You still get a lot of support and study leave when you work for a company like this. “You don’t get put in one particular specialism and some people also prefer the idea of a smaller firm’s culture.”Oliver Whittaker, 26, a graduate trainee auditor in RSM Robson Rhodes, is among them.
“In a company like ours, you get to work in smaller teams and you get a broader range of clients, as well as a lot of early responsibility,” she says. In fact, she says, many graduates prefer the idea of working in a smaller accountancy firm. “If you’re really serious about working in this industry, you need to tailor the application forms. You need to think not only about why you’re applying to that firm, but what skills they’ll need and find practical examples in those areas. Some people write down what they think the recruiter will want to hear, but you’ll get caught out at interview – if not before – if you haven’t done your homework.”This goes for people applying to any accountancy firm, says Joanne Long, director of learning and development at RSM Robson Rhodes.
As accounting becomes increasingly popular, competition is hotting up in firms other than the “big four”, she points out. That’s something I’m still considering.”He agrees that the level of research required of graduate applicants is high, something that is often missed. “In some firms, there is something like an 80 per cent application rejection and a big reason is that there’s a lot of cut and pasting that goes on,” he says. The accounting qualification is what swung it for me because it’s so well respected. Also, from talking to people in the industry, I realised that it’s quite possible to step into banking later, whereas it would be more difficult to make the move the other way round. “When I applied to work here, I considered both banks and accountancy firms.
As Jimmy Bastock, 22, a graduate trainee at Deloitte, points out, you can always move into banking later on. “One thing that has changed in the last 10 years is that many people no longer start out wanting to work in finance all their lives. Rather, they want to become things like entrepreneurs or general managers. The training in finance is part of their game plan.”Due to the growing prestige of accountancy qualifications, some graduates who may have opted for a career in banking in the past are now choosing accountancy instead.

Only M J K Smith, of Oxford University and Warwickshire, has a worse batting average. In any case, M J K was an England captain in the days when leaders enjoyed a certain leeway.The fall-out from Hick’s aberration did not end with his hangdog exit, and Ashley Giles, suddenly exposed to a pace bowler with his tail up, did not survive the over. Fending a throat ball to second slip, where a low catch by Shahid Afridi needed to be ratified by the third umpire, Giles went for a duck, the third England wicket to fall in five balls.The late strike by Pakistan totally shifted the balance of power in the match which, though never heavily in England’s favour, had begun to tilt their way.So far, through the efforts of their bowlers, as well as those of Thorpe and Salisbury, England have won six of the nine sessions played. Yet, despite that ratio, they still looked the more nervous of the two sides, a disposition that may have something to do with batting last on a crumbling pitch.Salisbury, a major disappointment in this series with the ball, could not be faulted for his application with the bat. Having come together with Thorpe on Thursday evening, he stayed with him well into the afternoon session, adding 97 invaluable runs for the fourth wicket.Speaking afterwards, Salisbury talked of the lift Nasser Hussain had given him when the England captain had informed him he was no longer a nightwatchman but England’s No 4. Indeed, he looked set for a career-best score when the off-spinner Arshad Khan induced him to give a catch off pad and glove to Yousuf Youhana at silly mid-off.With three or four men around the bat at all times, there is always the danger of giving a chance when playing off the front foot, which is why Thorpe, in contrast to most of his team-mates, chose to stay well back and play the turning ball as late as possible off the back foot.Excellent though it was, Thorpe enjoyed some good fortune when Moin Khan had scooped a brilliant catch after Saqlain Mushtaq’s top-spinner had taken the inside edge onto his pad. On 12 at the time, he was given not out by umpire Mian Aslam.Aside from that hiccup, Thorpe watched the ball closely and kept things simple, a path not chosen by his Surrey team-mate Alec Stewart.Having initially tried to use his feet to get the spinners away, Stewart then opted to mow Danish Kaneria over mid-wicket.
The ball was too full to get the necessary leverage and Stewart miscued to mid-on where Abdur took a swirling catch.Apart from a superlative spell of reverse swing with the old ball by Wasim, and Thorpe’s wicket with the new one, Pakistan were not as sharp as they might have been. Moin, denied his brilliant catch off Thorpe, dropped both Salisbury and Hick off the spinners, while Saqlain, so often the magician, contributed generously to the 30 no-balls that have so far boosted England’s score.Indeed only Wasim, in his 100th Test, looked consistently threatening as he made life uncomfortable for all who faced him. With 118 victims, the left-armer is the highest lbw-taker in the history of Test cricket.He is also currently third in the clean-bowled standings, with only Fred Trueman and Brian Statham ahead of him. With the bounce in this pitch becoming increasingly erratic, it would be foolish to discount him adding to both lists.. Ashley Giles made a timely breakthrough to end Pakistan’s afternoon onslaught at the Iqbal Stadium as the second Test headed towards a draw today.

Warwickshire’s left-arm spinner struck just two overs before tea on the fourth day to remove Saleem Elahi, who replaced Saeed Anwar at the top of the order after he was prevented from batting until five wickets down by a chest infection yesterday.Elahi hit a superb 72 off just 116 balls and dominated a 98-run partnership with Abdur Razzaq as Pakistan advanced to a 90-run lead by reaching 116 for two at the interval with only four more sessions remaining in the Test.Earlier all-rounder Craig White hit a quick 41 to establish a slim 26-run first innings lead for England.White’s 41 off 46 deliveries propelled England to 342 in reply to Pakistan’s first innings effort of 316 before lunch on the fourth day.The visitors then made a quick breakthrough in the nine overs before the interval when paceman Darren Gough removed Shahid Afridi (10) as Pakistan moved to 23 for one in its second innings.Pakistan had to shuffle its batting order after Saeed Anwar was ruled out from opening the innings because of flu. Elahi opened the innings in place of Anwar and was unbeaten on 12 while Abdur Razzaq, promoted in the batting order to number three, had no runs yet to his credit after 11 deliveries.England, resuming at the overnight 282 for eight, lost the wicket of Andrew Caddick (5) in the fourth over of the day, but White and last man Darren Gough accumulated 47 runs for the 10th wicket off just 59 deliveries.White hit two sixes and three boundaries in his fiery knock before he was bowled by off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who was the most successful Pakistan bowler with three wickets for 62. Gough remained undefeated on 19 off 30 deliveries.Right-arm seamer Razzaq, who had Caddick caught behind, also got three wickets for 74. Debutante 19-year-old leg-spinner Danish Kaneria had two wickets for 89, while Wasim Akram, playing in his 100th test match, and off-spinner Arshad Khan claimed one wicket each.However, Pakistan gave too many extras in England total and its bowlers bowled 31 no balls in extras tally of 49.Pakistan v England, second test, FaisalabadPakistan second innings: TeaSalim Elahi c Stewart b Giles 72 Shahid Afridi c Giles b Gough 10 Abdur Razzaq not out 22 Inzamam-ul-Haq not out 4 Extras b5 lb2 nb1 8 Total 2 wkts (38 overs) 116Fall: 1-13 2-111To Bat: Saeed Anwar, Yousuf Youhana, Moin Khan, Saqlain Mushtaq, Arshad Khan, Danish Kaneria, Wasim Akram.Bowling: Gough 6 1 21 1 Caddick 10 1 22 0 Giles 13 2 40 1 White 5 2 8 0 Salisbury 4 0 18 0.

An analysis of the delicate balance between the billions of neurons in our skulls, and the need to supply the axons (which connect them like cables) with blood and fatty insulation shows we can only improve our data processing ability by 20 per cent at most. The BT research, published in New Scientist, found that to expand our thinking ability, the 100 billion neurons in the brain would have to be larger, so they could pass signals more quickly. But that would in turn demand a greater blood supply – which, given the constricted size of the brain cavity, could only be achieved by limiting the growth of the neurons.
A larger skull might allow both more neurons and a bigger blood supply, but transmission of data would be slower.. An American-style “zero tolerance” anti crime initiative in Scotland was yesterday hailed a success by police chiefs who said it had helped cut offences in the force region to their lowest level in 15 years. For the past three months Strathclyde Police has been clamping down on minor crimes in the belief that this will reduce the number of more serious offences and reduce public fear.
During the first stage of the “Spotlight” initiative more than 200,000 extra police hours were spent on the streets.
During the offensive, 12 offences were spotlighted. Since the start of the scheme crimes of violence, indecency, dishonesty, car theft, and vandalism were down but crime covering drugs, obstructing police and overall nuisance rose.. Scientists have taken a giant leap for gastronomy by growing the highly prized golden chantrelle wild mushroom in a greenhouse. Until now, the fungus has defied all attempts at cultivation and can only be harvested from pine forests. Large quantities are imported from the United States because it is a variety in decline throughout Europe. The team, led by Eric Danell from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, reported in the science journal Nature that they had transferred pine seedlings carrying the fungus into pots in March, 1995.

Mr Hopkins had an “incredibly rare” DNA profile found only in one in every 250 million people, said Colman Treacy QC, for the prosecution.
His teeth were also a perfect match for the bite mark – and his sister, Julie, gave police vital evidence about his whereabouts on the night of Naomi’s death, said Mr Treacy as he outlined the prosecution case to the jury of six men and six women. Mr Hopkins, of Ansley Common, near Nuneaton, Warwickshire, denies murder. Naomi vanished after popping out to post a letter in her home village of Ansley Common in September 1995. Her throat had been cut and she had been sexually assaulted.
“It was probably better than if the killer had left his autograph,” Mr Treacy said. “Because what was found in the area around the breast provides some of the most valuable evidence for the prosecution in this case.” The trial continues..
The Conservative Party’s poster campaign featuring the “demon eyes” has beaten Wonderbra to win the latest “most talked about advert” accolade, a survey revealed yesterday. The pre-election campaign, devised by the M&C Saatchi agency, gained more national press coverage than any other promotion in the last three years. The advertisements, which included pictures of the Labour leader Tony Blair with superimposed red eyes, have topped the poll. Wonderbra was second and Labour’s “Same Old Tory Lies” campaign came sixth.
Martin Loat, managing director of Propeller Marketing Communications, which conducted the survey, said: “Like it or loathe it, the Demon Eyes icon was a stunning advertising image that captured the public imagination.”.
