Foot-and-mouth disease is back in the United Kingdom
Columnist Alice Miles considers the consequences of the latest outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease for farmers. "Fewer than 10 per cent of farmers have foot-and-mouth insurance, and even then it doesn't cover the cost of slaughtered cattle – the Government does that – but subsidiary costs such as wages, rent and bank charges. ... Farmers' leaders reacted furiously to suggestions that farmers should cover themselves. And still the animals are unvaccinated, because farmers believe it would make the meat less profitable, and so the taxpayer picks up the risk again. Arguably, this is right: we pay a proper price for our meat in the end. ... This outbreak of foot-and-mouth appears to be no fault of the farming industry and I am sorry for the devastated farmers. Their case for compensation is clear. It is obvious, as they lurch from one crisis to the next, that many farmers around the country are at breaking point."

The absence of women's voices in public debate
"Any newspaper columnist will tell you – and look at Comment Central in timesonline or any of the political blogs if you need confirmation – that public debate today is overwhelmingly dominated by men", writes the columnist Alice Miles. "There are some common opinions about why this is so. Women don't have time, is the commonest view among women. That isn't true. ... What is true is that to be a woman and to proffer an opinion on a 'man's' topic – for which read any hard issue from al-Qaeda to the transferable tax allowance – is to invite derision, ridicule and patronising commentary; and this from men who often have (take it from me) nothing but prejudice to argue with. The level of hostility is enough to put off any woman, and a lot of men too, I imagine, from joining in public debate. I wish I knew how to stop the bullying, and encourage women to make their voices heard more."

200 years since the abolition of the slave trade by the UK
March 27th 2007 marks 200 years to the day that a Parliamentary Bill was passed to abolish the slave trade in the then British Empire. The political commentator asks if it isn't a bit soon to be celebrating. "I ask it because of the place of black people here in Britain today. ... Parliament has come up with myriad ways to commemorate the anniversary of this Act of Parliament, including a whole section dedicated to it on its website ... but it doesn't even officially collect figures for the ethnicity of its MPs today. I cannot help but think that some form of positive discrimination from British leaders - business as well as political - a concerted national effort to raise role models and the hopes and self-respect of black boys, and to iron out the inequalities against black women would be a more fitting (and far tougher) way to commemorate this anniversary than a year-long festival of self-congratulation."

The London Olympics more costly than expected
Tessa Jowell, the British Culture Secretary, informed MPs yesterday that the expense of the Olympic Games in London, 2012, is going to be considerably higher than initally announced. Alice Miles reacts violently. "It is a horrendous and entirely predictable predicament that the country has got itself into in pursuit of international glory. Ah, say ministers, but this is about regeneration: look what the 1992 Olympics did for Barcelona. But Barcelona needed regeneration; London does not. The East End could do with some help, sure, as could some other cities, but as the Labour MP Alan Keen astutely pointed out yesterday, we could surely have regenerated the area at a less Olympian cost were we not tied into such a firm timescale; in other words were landowners and the construction industry not able to hold the Government to ransom. ... It is criminal to spend so much public money on such idiocy."
