Should non-Welsh speakers stay quiet during
the Welsh national anthem at the rugby? Author Sion Jobbins and rugby writer
Carolyn Hitt debate.
[email]
As a Welsh speaker, I sing our national
anthem at any opportunity. for non Welsh speakers it should be a matter
of free personal choice rather than should or shouldn't. The more singing it
the better, of course, but the last thing we want at a rugby
international is a forest of Redwoods! Howard Edwards, Llandudno Junction

convictions have been overturned. Jenny Kuttim worked on a documentary and has

How good are we at keeping police corruption
in check? From 2008 until 2011 there more than 8,500 allegations of police
corruption in England and Wales. 837 of those were referred to the Commission.
But it only independently investigated 21 of those. Roger Graef, criminologist
and a member of the Metropolitan Police Independent Advisory Group and Sir Hugh
Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police officers shed light on the
issue.

Absence of evidence of corruption (in the shape of few
complaints) is not evidence of absence of corruption.
This is not to suggest any particular level of corruption
in the police but rather suggests that another way of measuring (and better
known and more easily used means of complaining about) corruption need to be
found and put into place.
Perhaps we need a registration body for the police in the
image of the GMC.

Traces of pork have been found in
pies and pasties which were supplied to prisons as halal meat products for
consumption by Muslim inmates. The government has ordered the withdrawal of
contaminated products and has suspended its contract with a supplier. The Justice minister
Jeremy Wright has described the situation as "absolutely
unacceptable". Tim Lang, professor of Food policy at City University and
Steve Wearne, a director of the Food Standards Agency debate the issue.
