		<description><![CDATA[When my first husband died, aged 46, I was initially told that I was entitled to a widow&#8217;s pension for myself and my children. My husband had paid national insurance contributions and would not now be claiming his pension. It seemed fair. My husband would have been pleased that his contributions were being used for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spend a lot of time researching my family tree, or rather my children&#8217;s family tree - just to double the challenge. Not one branch but all of them. For some I&#8217;ve gone back about 12 generations, others only three or four. (See my family tree database). I must admit it is not all my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent incident in which two brothers were arrested (and now released) after an early moring raid on their house interested me. Not only because it was a terrorist story which from the outset didn&#8217;t feel quite right but because the police had acted as a result of intelligence and surveillance.
25 years ago I was caught up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few decades ago the joke about justice was that an accused person was innocent until proved Irish. For Irish, now read &#8220;bullied parent&#8221;. The current child protection procedures and the proposed laws to penalise parents for their childrens&#8217; bad behaviour provide a charter for child bullies. They can be as anti social as they like and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is the popular uproar about failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants the last bastion of acceptable racism? I&#8217;ve only met one person that was, I later learned, an illegal immigrant and I bet none of the people making political capital from this serious issue would have minded his presence here one bit. He was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw a letter on the BBC website written by a number of neurosurgeons. They were writing to Patricia Hewitt the Health Secretary asking her to reconsider providing certain drugs for recently diagnosed brain tumour sufferers on the NHS. They said trials showed the drugs were extremely effective and beneficial. One of them was Temozolomide. [...]]]></description>
