This morning's London Independent headlines with the news that a Christian
Evangelical Group had paid interns working in the offices of Ministers in
the run-up to the Human Fertilisation and Embrology Bill*. This contentious Bill
had sought to lump together the issues of Chimeric (human-animal) creation together
with a new amendment to reduce the 24 week abortion limit . The Group:

C.A.R.E.

Christian Action, Research and Education had access all areas in the Commons
and of course into research materials pertinent to the legislation. This prompts
one question- Tony Blair had brought some of the biggest US Companies to the
UK to work in the areas of genetic research (despite his personal Evangelicalism
and recent conversion).

So what are the Evangelicals so pissed off about?

In the Bookstore

Maureen Kenny Has died, a true lover of education and books, many will
have a memory of the Labyrinthe bookshop, the smell of the books and the
friendly family who ran it.

You could find yourself tripping into Mr Kenny's office and getting a lecture
on dropping out of college, work; and where the bestest poetry books were
kept.

Many of us miss the old shop with the low ceilings and the carpetted stairs
and Maureen always had a smile- did not matter if you were the Laureate
or a small writer, everyone was united by love of knowledge and books. read full story / add a comment

In this month's 'Irish Art Review', which is available online (it's a tenner a pop in the
Newsagents) the editor discusses the current exhibition in Collin's Barracks and asks
the question: 'Should not the Irish State give up to 50% of the pieces back, because
they are colonial plunder' ?

Its brief and I did not bring my copy, thus I cannot quote him verbatim..
The Natural History Museum remains closed since the staircase collapse last
year, with rumblings in the media that the Senate will be expanded in there and
kids are therefore limited in free access to their heritage, learning and study places.
