THERE is a long history of senior officers leaving the armed forces and only then going on the record to state that all is far from well. They seldom explain why they didn’t fix it while they were serving; the few who do generally blame a lack of money – which is to say a lack […]
IN AN insensitively timed opinion piece in the London Standard, Martha Gill declared that London’s crime figures are nothing to worry about. Killings are tragic, she admitted, but the capital city has a slightly lower rate of stabbings than in Birmingham.
