WONDER CURE FOR KILLER FLU

Scientists believe it could revolutionise the way the killer virus is tackled.

A DRINK derived from a vegetable has been hailed as a breakthrough in the search for a cure for ﬂu.

They discovered that a strain of bacteria in pickled turnip, a dish popular in Japan, boosts

immunity to the virus. Experts are already carrying out human trials on a probiotic drink which contains the powerful new ingredient. The development comes as a leading British expert has warned that the UK is facing one of

India launches a rocket to Mars as we give £280m aid
FURY erupted yesterday after India launched a rocket, right, to Mars while raking in £280million a year in aid from British taxpayers. The £45million Orbiter Mission, part of India’s £600million space programme, blasted off yesterday. The unmanned spacecraft is set to travel for 300 days, reaching Mars’s orbit next year. If the mission is successful India will join an elite group of four – following the lead of the US, EU and Russia – to have sent space craft to carry out experiments on Mars. But yesterday the TaxPayers’ Alliance questioned why India should still be getting hundreds of millions of pounds in British aid when it can afford to have a space programme. The campaign group’s political director Jonathan Isaby said: “It is atrocious that taxpayers are still handing money to a country rich enough not just to have its own space programme, but one that is blasting off to Mars. “If India can afford this kind of expenditure then it does not need a penny of British taxpayers’ money, especially when departments back home rightly

have to cut their spending.” British families struggling with soaring bills and pay freezes would ﬁnd it hard to believe the aid budget was being spent wisely, he said. Economist Jean Dreze has said India’s space programme seems to be part of its elite’s “delusional quest for superpower status”. Under Labour, India was the biggest net recipient of British aid, receiving £421million in 2010. Last year the Tory International Development Secretary Justine Greening announced that aid to the country would end in 2015. At the time, an Indian minister dismissed UK aid as a “peanut”. The overall foreign aid budget is up by 30 per cent this year to £11.3billion and will increase again next year to £12.6billion with ministers committed to spending 0.7 per cent of UK income on aid. A Department for International Development spokesman said last night: “Not a penny of British taxpayers’ aid money has gone on India’s space programme.”

Angela: Let’s end dementia crisis

HOSPITALS must be made more dementia-friendly if the NHS is going to cope with a surge in sufferers, TV’s Angela Rippon said yesterday. The older people’s champion and dementia ambassador campaigns to improve the lives of patients, their families and carers. Ms Rippon, 69, who lost her mother to dementia, has lent her support to a new initiative encouraging architects and hospitals to put the needs of dementia patients at the heart of hospital design. Speaking at the launch of the world’s ﬁrst dementia-friendly “virtual hospital”, she said: “Patients living with dementia are the fastest growing group of new admissions in our hospitals. “But even some of the most modern are wholly unsuitable environments for people affected by this condition. “Hospitals are frightening places for people with dementia. Making them environments and areas where patients group of patients more effectively.” At least a quarter of acute hospital beds are occupied by dementia sufferers. A third of those admitted to hospital who also suffer from dementia never return to their homes because their condition deteriorates so badly during their stay. Professor June Andrews, director of Stirling University’s Dementia Services Development Centre, which created the virtual hospital with Edinburgh-based BPA Architecture, said: “We know that traditional acute hospitals are very dangerous places for people with dementia. “But we also know from the evidence how to make them safer environments and we have developed this resource to share our knowledge widely. “As our populations age, dementia rates are set to soar around the world.” The virtual hospital includes clearer signs and easy-to-see clocks to help sufferers orientate themselves. Bigger changes include altering ﬂoor coverings to reduce noise and help dementia patients identify where there is a step.

THE ﬁrst blast from what could be the worst winter in decades hit Britain yesterday – and the question being asked was, will there be a White Christmas? Some northern areas had at least two inches of snow and forecasters warn more falls are expected, with conditions worsening for at least a week. In Teesdale, County Durham, motorists had to clear snow from their cars after heavy wintry showers overnight and road conditions were treacherous. Temperatures plunged below freezing, with lows of -6C (21F) recorded in Kindrogan, Scotland. The early cold snap brought a ﬂurry of bets on a snowy Christmas Day. Coral was offering odds of 3-1 yesterday on snow in Aberdeen, with 4-1 on wintry showers in Edinburgh and Glasgow and 6-1 in London, Birmingham and Manchester. The odds in Bristol, Cardiff and Norwich were 7-1. Daytime temperatures in the North are expected to hover in single ﬁgures for the next few days, falling to zero overnight, with harsh frosts likely. In the South wetter and windier weather is forecast, with a week of rain and gales along western coasts. A bleak winter is now seen as very much on the cards, with the ﬁrst major snowfall expected in weeks. Forecasters warned in October that the entire UK faces a horror freeze, bringing brutal winds and ﬁerce blizzards. Long-range forecasts predicted “record-breaking snowfall” and low temperatures, possibly until February.

WorldMags.net

Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services, said: “We are looking at a potentially paralysing winter, the worst for decades, which could at times grind the nation to a halt.” Looking at the more short-term picture, he added: “It is going to stay very cold in the North, certainly over the next week or so, with the chance of more snow over high ground. “In the South it is going to stay wet and windy as a succession of low pressure systems roll in from the Atlantic. “There is still a risk of quite signiﬁcant stormy weather to come, with strong winds and heavy rain.” The Met Ofﬁce predicted last night that the weather will be unsettled until the weekend. Forecaster Dan Williams said: “In the North it is going to stay chilly, with more sleet and hail and snow over higher ground. The South is going to be milder, but wet and windy up until the weekend. “Rain is going to move across the region over the next few days.” Netweather forecaster Jo Farrow warned the expected heavy rain could lead to ﬂash ﬂoods. She said: “Many parts of England and Wales are already soaking and any extra heavy rain could cause ﬂooding problems.” Meanwhile, Moscow is enjoying freak winter warmth, with temperatures in the Russian capital set to hit 15C (59F) today, breaking a 91-year record.

New flu cure that’s a turnip for the books

the worst winter ﬂu tolls for years, with up to 4,000 deaths. If the research proves effective, a huge number of lives could be saved by people protecting themselves with a probiotic drink, similar to those drunk daily to boost good bacteria in the gut. Japanese scientists discovered that the bacteria Lactobacillus brevis found in a pickled turnip called suguki protected mice exposed to ﬂu. The bacteria increased the production of immune system moleclues, including ﬂu-speciﬁc antibodies. In mice, the effects were powerful enough to prevent infection by the highly contagious H1N1 swine ﬂu. Scientists at research company Kagome believe there could also be protection against the deadly H7N9 strain which has recently emerged in China. While suguki fans hail its protective powers, it is unknown why the bacteria protects against ﬂu, but it was found to be extremely tolerant to acidic stomach juices. It is not known whether the same effects will be seen in humans but scientists are hopeful they have found the next superfood. Study author Naoko Waki, writing in science journal Letters of Applied Microbiology, said: “When a particular strain of Lactobacillus brevis is eaten by mice, it has protective effects against inﬂuenza.” The research concluded: “Continual intake of (the drink) for 14 days prior to inﬂuenza virus infection alleviated symptoms such as loss of body weight and deterioration in observational physical conditions induced by the infection.” Ms Waki said further studies are needed to conﬁrm initial ﬁndings. Human trials are now under way. Last month, virologist Professor John Oxford, of Queen Mary University in London, said Britain had “got away with it” recently and predicted this would be the worst winter for ﬂu deaths for years. He warned doctors and other health staff to improve the shockingly low levels of ﬂu jabs among their ranks, which greatly increases the chances of ﬂu spreading. Many Britons have limited immunity after several years of relatively low-level outbreaks. Analysts at Datamonitor Healthcare are forecasting that 10.5 million people will get ﬂu this winter. The virus is most deadly to the elderly and very young.

Payday loans WorldMags.net are fair, says Wonga boss

PAYDAY lender Wonga hit back yesterday at claims it targets people who can’t afford to repay loans on time and then face high interest charges. Henry Raine, the company’s head of regulatory and public affairs, told MPs it made thorough checks on applicants, adding: “Wonga’s business is aiming to lend to people who can pay us back, that’s how we make money. “The vast majority of people pay us back on time. We freeze interest after 60 days and 25 per cent of people pay us back early.” The exchange came as bosses from Wonga, QuickQuid and Mr Lender were grilled by the Commons Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee. Mr Raine said only three per cent of borrowers – about 40,000 of Wonga’s 1.25 million customers – still owed money after 60 days. He said the company’s record compared favourably with credit card ﬁrms and banks. Asked if he thought Wonga’s charges were extortionate, he said: “No, of course we don’t accept that. “The ﬁrst thing you see on the website is the amount it’s going to cost you. You choose how much to borrow, and for how long.” The average loan was £174 over 17 days with borrowers given regular reminders and help if necessary, he said. Short-term lenders face a clampdown by a new industry watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority. It has the power to impose unlimited ﬁnes and order ﬁrms to return customers’ money if they have been treated poorly.

DOGNAPPERS ran over a terriﬁed pet owner and left her clinging to the bonnet of their van as they made off with her £5,000 puppy. The callous thieves had posed as potential buyers of the pedigree French bulldog owned by 27-yearold Rhiannon Jones. After looking over the dog, Titch, they asked to take him for a walk and distracted Rhiannon while they threw him into their van. As frantic Rhiannon desperately tried to stop them by confronting them in the street, they knocked her down, injuring her foot. Speaking after having hospital treatment, she said yesterday: “When I went after them, the men came at me. “I was lifted off the road and on to the bonnet, I was clinging to the van as it sped round the corner. They’ve got no windscreen wipers now – I ripped them off.” Mature student Rhiannon was given Titch by her boyfriend as a birthday present.

CASES of dognapping are on the rise and the crime is a growing worry for owners, a report said yesterday. Experts estimate there have been 3,500 dog thefts in the last 12 months – an annual increase of 17 per cent. Almost half of owners worry that their dog could be stolen from the garden according to research from Churchill Pet Insurance. Many dogs are taken by organised gangs, who sell them on the black market. Bold thieves are snatching dogs as they are walked, or targeting them in burglaries. Churchill’s Pete Bishenden said: “Certain breeds are more popular to sell on, such as smaller, more docile dogs. We have also seen lurchers and other breeds taken for dog baiting.” The biggest rise was in thefts of cocker spaniels, which have grown in popularity after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got their puppy, Lupo.

But she soon realised she would have to give him up because the third year of her sports science course at the University of South Wales in Cardiff is so intensive. So Titch was put up for sale on PreLoved, a popular classiﬁed listings website. The men phoned in response to the advertisement and visited Rhiannon’s home in Aberdare, south Wales. They asked to see a certiﬁcate to prove Titch was ﬁve-generation pedigree. As she looked for the paperwork, they made off with him in their red mini-van. Rhiannon said: “The men seemed genuine. I didn’t expect them to try and steal Titch. One said he wanted to see what he walks like on a lead because his other two were stubborn. “He said he had two girl French bulldogs and wanted a boy.” After she was knocked down, horriﬁed neighbours rushed to her aid. Rhiannon was taken to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydﬁl but fortunately was not badly hurt. The cruel theft was reported to police, who are now trying to trace the dognappers. But they fear

Titch could be sold on the black market where he might fetch up to £5,000. A police spokesman said: “We are taking it very seriously and

we are concerned for the welfare of the animal. “We do believe they’ll be trying to sell it. If anyone has been offered

a dog of this description we urge them to come forward.” The men are said to be mixed-race and spoke with strong Cardiff accents.

Girl, four, killed by her pet rescue dog

A GIRL aged four died yesterday after being savaged by a “rescue” dog which had been with her family for just a few weeks. The girl, named locally as Lexi Hudson, was taken to hospital with critical injuries but doctors were unable to save her. The “large” pet which attacked her had been re-homed by an animal charity. One neighbour told how they saw Lexi’s mother Jodi screaming in the street after the attack at the family’s ﬂat in Mountsorrel, Leicestershire. Sam Clarke, 26, said: “I saw her in tears and went to try to comfort her. It’s terrible. So, so sad.” Paul Ryan, a friend of the family, said: “Jodi is absolutely distraught. She’s only had the dog for two months. Lexi was always playing with it. “She would never have dreamt in a million years that something like this could have happened. “She absolutely adored Lexi, she was her only child and she absolutely doted

Lexi with a French Mastiff owned by the family. Her mother was ‘distraught’
on her. This is absolutely tragic. We’re all in a state of shock.” Neighbours said Lexi was almost ﬁve and had started school in September. One described her as a friendly girl and added: “I always say hello when I pass, and the little girl used to play outside – she used to say hello.” Police said the dog “died shortly after

the incident”. It is normal in such circumstances for marksmen to put down an animal without delay. The pet is not believed to have been a breed listed under Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act. But neighbour Arthur Nash said: “The family has a similar sort of thing to the dogs that have been going off lately, similar to the dangerous dogs. I’m not saying it was dangerous but it looked a similar dog.” A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said: “We were called to a ﬂat in Rowena Court, Mountsorrel, at 12.15pm, following a report of a young girl being injured after she was attacked by a dog. “The dog is believed to have been the family pet at the location. “The child was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where she has since died. The dog died shortly after the incident. Ofﬁcers are carrying out inquiries at the scene and investigations are still in the early stages.” Police were unable to say if anyone else was attacked. There have been no arrests.

WorldMags.net Miliband: We’ll look at migrant curbs
ANYTHING that can stop an inﬂux of low-skilled migrants from Bulgaria and Romania arriving next year should be considered, Ed Miliband said yesterday. But he warned that there was no way to keep in place controls on the two countries’ citizens, which are due to expire at the end of this year. The Labour leader was asked by the Daily Express if he

understood the concerns of tens of thousands of people who have signed our petition demanding that Britain retains controls – and what he would do if he was Prime Minister. He told an event in London: “We will look at all the issues where we can do anything about the Bulgarian and Roma-

nian situation. But it seems like we have got to the maximum of the transitional controls that we have had in relation to these countries, so it doesn’t seem to me that there is anything else that can be done. But if there is, it should be looked at. “One of the important things is not to tell people you can do something you can’t. We have been absolutely clear about what we can and can’t do.” In a

speech on Britain’s “cost of living crisis” Mr Miliband earlier warned that the exploitation of migrant workers was undercutting wages, with many paid below the legal minimum. He called for “enforcing the National Minimum Wage properly” and cracking down on recruitment agencies solely for overseas workers.

EU fraud and errors cost taxpayers £800m

EUROPEAN UNION blunders and fraud cost British taxpayers more than £800million last year. The EU misspent almost £6billion in 2012, ofﬁcial auditors found, as the amount of money squandered on fraudulent, illegal or ineligible projects soared by 23 per cent. And for the 19th year in a row, the auditors refused to sign off Europe’s annual accounts. The spending watchdog found that, overall, 4.8 per cent of the EU’s £117billion budget was spent in “error” on projects that were either tainted by fraud or ineligible for grants under Brussels’ rules. This meant £832million of British taxpayers’ contributions was wasted at a time of public spending cuts. The damning verdict on shambolic spending by Brussels adds further weight to the Daily Express crusade demanding that Britain quits the EU. Robert Oxley, campaign director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “It is astonishing that the level of fraud in the European Union budget is increasing. It is unacceptable that deep problems with the accounts get swept under the carpet year after year. “The shameless spinning of the accounts is typical of an organisation run by a political elite more concerned with increasing its power and managing its public image than with providing value for taxpayers’ money.”

A SHARP rise in the number of Syrians seeking refuge in Bulgaria has raised fears they will eventually head for Britain. A steady stream of Syrian men, women and children has been arriving in the EU member state after ﬂeeing their war-torn country. Bulgarian deputy prime minister Tsvetlin Yovchev said that, overall, there are now 8,763 illegal immigrants in his country. The number is said to be growing at about 100 a day, of whom about 60 per cent are Syrians, mostly Kurds shunning refuge in nearby Turkey because of Istanbul’s troubled relationship with the Kurdish population. In the past, Bulgaria only received about 1,000 migrants and asylum seekers a year. Fears have now emerged the Syrians could one day swell the numbers of Bulgarians

In Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s spokesman said: “It shows yet again why it was right we cut the EU budget and it is yet more evidence for the need for reform in Europe.” European Court Auditors found the “error rate” in EU rural spending, the worst-hit area, had rocketed by 7.9 per cent to £1billion of a £12.6billion budget. The ﬁgure rose to 63 per cent of projects directly audited by the watchdog. In one case, a Polish landowner was paid almost £80,000 a year to maintain 350 acres of uncut grassland for the protection of endangered birds. He only met agreed funding requirements for 14 per cent of the land, while receiving 100 per cent of the payments. Philip Bradbourn MEP, the Conservative spokesman on Budgetary control, said: “Another year, another story of lax monitoring and shambolic control. Every year it gets worse. “It is shameful. If you found misappropriation and misspending on this scale in a commercial business, there would be sackings all round. In Brussels, it’s Carry on Squandering.” Ukip’s Nigel Farage added: “It is time the people of Europe were able to get this albatross off their backs – or at least out of their pockets.”

expected to come to the UK if we lift controls on migration from January 1, as demanded by Brussels. Yesterday, a UK Independence Party spokesman said under EU rules Syrian refugees should remain in Bulgaria because it was their point of entry. “But there is not much we can do about it if they take Bulgarian nationality

in the future,” he warned. “This is a function of EU membership, that you can settle wherever and then in short order, once accepted by the authorities there, up sticks and move – for example, to the UK.” The Daily Express is Crusading for the UK to keep the controls on Bulgarians and Romanians in place.

WorldMags.net Theresa may dazzle...but
PRINCE William represented the Queen at a State visit for the ﬁrst time yesterday – another milestone in his preparations for becoming King. As the second in line to the throne joined the president of South Korea at a memorial ceremony, a senior royal aide said of William: “We see this as a signiﬁcant moment for him, he is stepping up to the plate.” Earlier Park Geun-hye, South Korea’s ﬁrst woman president, was greeted by the Queen at Horse Guards Parade as she began her three-day State visit. The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Andrew and David Cameron were also in the welcoming party – but it was the Home Secretary, Theresa May, who was the talk of the parade ground. She wore a dazzling coat of many colours that eclipsed even the bright reds and golds of the Household Cavalry. It was teamed with a pair of racy over-the-knee black patent boots. President Park, 61, joined William to commemorate British troops who fought in the Korean War. At the ceremony, in

Victoria Embankment Gardens, she cut the ﬁrst turf and unveiled a scale model of the 18ft memorial to be built, featuring a bronze statue of a British soldier beside a battleﬁeld grave. The president recalled the sacriﬁces made by British forces – many doing their National Service – as US-led United Nations troops fought with South Korea against

Communist-backed North Korea. “This memorial will remind future generations of the remarkable fruits of British friendship,” she said. More than 1,000 British servicemen died in the 1950-53 conﬂict, described by some as the “forgotten war”. After the ceremony William, 31, met veterans who have waited 60 years to see their service recognised. He said: “It’s an honour to be here.”

as the Independent Police Complaints Commission said it was reopening an inquiry into their conduct. The row was sparked by the pair, along with another Police Federation rep, Inspector Ken Mackail, having a “clear the air” meeting with Mr Mitchell last year. He had been accused of calling police “plebs” when they refused to let him cycle through the gates of Downing Street. The MP apologised for swearing but denied using the word “pleb”. The three ofﬁcers later claimed Mr Mitchell had failed to give an account of what happened. He resigned but later produced a recording of the conversation which contradicted the ofﬁcers’ version of events.

Police probe scandal of cancer care at hospital
AN NHS hospital trust where staff claim they were “pressured or bullied” into covering up long delays in treatment for cancer patients is being investigated by police. In a damning report a health watchdog said a number of cancer patients suffered “undue delays” at Colchester Hospital University Foundation Trust and it uncovered “inaccuracies” in records kept on waiting times. The Care Quality Commission found some patients did not get treatment within the required 62 days and three faced delays of over 100 days. That was not necessarily what the records showed, however. Christina McAnea, head of health at union Unison, said: “Our members took a brave step by reporting to the CQC that they were being bullied and harassed by senior managers to falsify records relating to cancer patients.” Professor Sir Mike Richards, chief inspector of hospitals, said: “It is shocking to think that people’s lives may have been put at risk for the sake of the waiting time ﬁgures.” Last night the mother of a fouryear-old boy who died of a brain tumour after delays at the hospital said it was “terrifying to think how many other patients may have died”.

nosed in February 2011 – six months after his mother Danielle Uren had taken him to the A&E department because he was vomiting and complaining of headaches. He was sent home again when his symptoms returned in September 2011. But he was diagnosed with a secondary tumour in January 2012 and died in March 2012, two months after he was visited at a hospice by the Duchess of Cambridge. Miss Uren, of Halstead, Essex, said: “What else will come out of the woodwork? It is scary.” Although Mackenzie is not one of the patients identiﬁed in the report, the hospital has launched a separate investigation into his death. The trust has written to 30 patients or their next of kin offering to review their treatment. Trust chief executive Dr Gordon Coutts said: “We are truly sorry that in some cases cancer patients, their carers and families have not received the high quality of care they should have expected.” Inez Brown, clinical negligence partner at the law ﬁrm Medical Accident Group said it would “deal a further blow to the public’s increasingly fragile conﬁdence in the NHS”.

ABOUR leader Ed Miliband has a number of functions that he must discharge. His political priority at this stage of the parliamentary cycle is to present himself as a future prime minister and many consider him wanting in that regard. But his chief constitutional duty is described more accurately by his ofﬁcial title in the Commons: Leader of Her Majesty’s loyal Opposition. It is his job to spearhead the scrutiny of government policy, exposing weaknesses and warning against future mistakes. In our adversarial system this is vital work. And yet in this capacity Mr Miliband has been an even more acute failure. He knows full well that the Government is playing with ﬁre by proposing to lift controls on Romanian and Bulgarian immigration. He also knows that families up and down the land are ﬁercely opposed to the move. Yet in response to questioning by this newspaper, all he can say is that the matter should be “looked at” but that he does not think there is anything to be done. Nothing to be done about a key matter of public interest? Does this sound like a potential leader of our nation to you? Because it certainly does not to us. Miliband claims to have seen the light about immigration, acknowledging that Labour should have imposed controls on the inﬂux from Poland and other east European countries in 2004. But what kind of leader says he understands past mistakes and yet will not lift a ﬁnger to prevent a similarly disastrous error being made in future? If he feels unable to do anything to protect the national interest when it is under threat then he should make way for somebody who will.

HERE are millions of destitute people in India and that is the basis on which British aid to that country is justiﬁed. And yet India is also a functioning democracy with a booming economy and buoyant revenues. Its government decides upon its own priorities. Those apparently involve spending fortunes on space exploration rather than feeding needy communities. For British state aid to plug the gap is a standing insult to every taxpayer struggling to get by in this country. The money tap should be turned off today.

HERE was a palpable sense of excitement on the Today programme yesterday morning as news came through about a University College London study claiming that migrants who have arrived in Britain since 1999 are contributing a net £15billion a year to the public ﬁnances. There is nothing that pleases the liberal Left more than a piece of evidence purporting to show that anyone who dares raise the subject of immigration is guilty of exaggerating the problem. Challenge that, you swiveleyed loons, they are saying: look, a piece of academic research which shows that immigration brings nothing but good to Britain. Never mind that other studies have come to a different conclusion – a common phenomenon in the social sciences. One of those studies, indeed, was also published yesterday, claiming that migrants who have arrived from outside the EU since 1995 have imposed a large net cost on the tax and beneﬁts system. Naturally, that one gained a lower billing on the Today programme. Migrants, like established British citizens, do not just get paid beneﬁts; they consume other public services too: healthcare, education, housing, public transport and so on.

IVORY TOWER: University College London, where the report was produced
Theirs was a scam which involved claiming beneﬁts for people who did not even live in Britain. Yet others can come to Britain legally to claim beneﬁts, even if they have never paid a single penny in tax. As for health tourists, it has taken a brave hospital consultant, John Meirion Thomas, to reveal what many NHS administrators tried to conceal; that abuse of the NHS by health tourists is widespread and that there is no effective system to check where patients are eligible for free care or not.

result, in areas such as Boston, Lincolnshire, which has proved a honeypot for Eastern European migrants, has been overloaded schools and hospitals. Public servants who have spoken about the problems – such as the former chief constable of Cambridgeshire police who pointed out her force was expected to cope with the extra numbers and the language problems, with no extra resources – were accused of stirring up racial tensions. Labour failed to make provision for extra public services because it insisted that the numbers of Eastern European migrants who would arrive would be tiny. It memorably predicted that 13,000 would arrive in the ﬁrst year. In the event 500,000 pitched up. The coalition has its head buried as deep in the sand. Indeed it refuses to publish estimates of the numbers of Romanian and Bulgarian migrants who will arrive after they gain full rights to seek employment here next year. The tragedy is that the

complete failure to plan for migration has undermined the case for a liberal migration policy. The UCL academics are right that many migrants working in Britain are an asset to the economy. The NHS would struggle to function without foreign doctors and nurses, as would some engineering companies, were they not able to recruit foreign employees with specialist skills. Some farms, too, would be unable to survive without a source of seasonal labour from abroad. But we don’t have an immigration system which distinguishes between migrants who are of beneﬁt to the economy and those who have come here just to use our health service and live on our beneﬁts system. The response of the liberal Left has been to deny that health and beneﬁts tourism exists, when there is plenty of evidence that it does. Just yesterday three members of a gang were jailed at Nottingham Crown Court for stealing £750,000 in tax credits.

ICKLED turnip can fend off ﬂu because it contains bacteria that act against the inﬂuenza virus, scientists have found. This is very surprising and seems bound to feature in medical journals. In fact, it could be a real turnip for the books.

O IF you want to know whether migrants make a net contribution to public ﬁnances you would have to add on the costs such as the £10,000 being paid to a failed Ethiopian asylum-seeker to take ﬂying lessons and the huge housing beneﬁt payments which have gone to some families to live in Central London. It would be a bit of a struggle to claim a net ﬁscal beneﬁt of migration once all these costs have been added on. The problem we have had with migration in the nine years since the former Soviet bloc countries were admitted to the EU and their citizens granted the right to live and work here, is that public services have failed miserably to keep pace with the extra demand created by a sharply rising population. The Blair government, while boasting that migrants would help the economy, failed to plan for the extra public services which would be required. The

WorldMags.net

O MATTER how much some migrants contribute to the tax system it stands to reason that our public ﬁnances would be better off if we did not have to support health and beneﬁt tourists. The Government well knows that but also knows it is powerless to act: the right of migrants to claim beneﬁts in Britain is enshrined in EU law. Challenging it is a key part of David Cameron’s promised renegotiation of our EU membership. I am in favour of an immigration policy which opens the doors to hard-working foreign nationals with special skills and/or who are needed to ﬁll labour shortages in industry. But an open health and beneﬁts system that invites the world to use services for which they have not paid taxes is utter madness – however much the liberal Left tries to brush it under the carpet.

ONLY Ken Clarke could say it. Speaking of the niqab in court, he observes that it is impossible to have a proper trial if “one of the persons is in a kind of bag”. He also comments that it “is a most peculiar costume”. No other senior politician would have dared. Ken Clarke, an MP for 43 years, is 73. I look around for anyone from the next generation of Cabinet ministers who may be as gloriously forthright and I ﬁnd none. People often ask why I, a eurosceptic, supported him, a europhile, in so many leadership elections. Look no further than the above statement. He is honest and unafraid to be so.

Having children is a privilege not a right
C
LARE WALKER says she is devastated that she has been refused IVF treatment on the NHS. Up to that point every woman who longs for a child and is failing to conceive will sympathise but then she proclaims: “I’m having the right of being a mother snatched away from me.” Note the choice of words. The lady is not saying her chance of motherhood is snatched but her right. That very silly statement tells us two things: ﬁrst the degree to which, in the Me Society, we are confusing desires with rights and second the ludicrous expectations which we now have of a grossly overburdened NHS. Nobody has a “right” to motherhood. It is a blessing for which one should be grateful but under no circumstances can it be guaranteed by the state. We all have a right to marry but not to a marriage, the right to work but not to a job and the right to try for a child but not to a conception. Those who, like Clare Walker, cannot comprehend the difference, are living in some sort of fairytale where dreams always come true. Those who persist in believing that the NHS can meet every last demand, on demand, and free to all at the point of reception or that it has some moral duty to do so are also living in fairyland. Nye Bevan founded a system based on three major misconceptions: that we could fund it from insurance, that as we all got healthier the demand for health services would decline and that the demographics would stay roughly the same. Ho, ho, ho as Father Christmas will shortly be saying.

WHAT on earth was Abbey Clancy doing in the bottom two on Strictly last weekend? The judges were amazed as she must be a candidate for the coveted glitter ball. The answer is almost certainly that there are too many good dancers this year and one Hairy Biker, whom the public will keep in until the last moment as they did with John Sergeant, me and Russell Grant, just to keep some general entertainment going in what is supposed to be a family show rather than only a talent contest. What I do not spot this year is Craig’s likely pantomime partner. He chose ﬁrst me and then Lisa Riley on the basis of our Strictly performances but this crop of dancers are just too darn serious. Oh, yes they are!

THE theory of the secondhome expenses for MPs is straightforward: they can claim unavoidable expenses on the homes they would not have to have maintained had they not been MPs. Heating is an unavoidable expense and it does not come cheaper for MPs than for anybody else. Insurance companies will demand they keep the heating on when absent (to minimise risks of frozen pipes bursting) as they do for anybody else. MPs have to rent these days rather than buy so it will be the landlords not they who determine the heating system. Even the Taxpayers’ Alliance admits that it is reasonable for an MP to claim the costs of fuel in the second home. If an MP stays in a hotel the bill will reﬂect that hotel’s heating costs but there is the usual over-the-top uproar because MPs have been claiming for fuel. I say again: raise the salaries, do away with second-home allowances altogether and get this maggot out of public life.

REMEMBER Colin Stagg? Remember Chris Jefferies? Arrested on suspicion of murders they did not commit (Rachel Nickell and Joanna Yeates) they were monstered in some sections of the media before the real culprits were caught. So I am wary of all the speculation about a dead man being the kidnapper of Madeleine McCann. Nobody has been tried or convicted and until that happens or irrefutable evidence is unearthed, our minds should be as open as ever.

AILY the scandals shriek from our newspapers and televisions: dementia patients sent home, tumours undiagnosed, wards dirty, nurses too busy to clean up sick and still politicians dare not admit the truth: that the NHS cannot survive in its present form. And for as long as that simple fact remains unacknowledged it will remain also unaddressed. Meanwhile the more joyful headlines of new cures and new hope also carry unstated warnings: when these are available there is going to be a large demand for them which cannot be delivered without the resources and personnel. I am genuinely sorry for Clare Walker but private IVF has not been denied to her so she should grow up, save up and shut up.

HOT DUO: Abbey Clancy dances with Aljaž Skorjanec

RICHARD DAWKINS complains that he had a jar of honey conﬁscated at an airport and says: “Bin Laden has won.” Inevitably he is mocked but for about the only time in my life I sympathise with this arrogant atheist. Our airports are bogged down in silly, unnecessary regulations which compel ofﬁcials to take nail scissors, make-up and honey. None of these items poses the remotest threat to the security of an aircraft and the absence of discretion means that even sensible staff have to act like jobsworths. It is daft and unBritish and Dawkins in this instance is right because the whole nonsense began with 9/11 and Bin Laden’s legacy stretches from bereavement and horror all the way down to pettifogging bureaucracy.

I RECEIVED a heart-rending message on my website about the slaughter of dogs in Romania. There are now so many strays on the streets that, after a series of incidents in which people have been attacked, the Romanian government has issued an order for the rounding up and humane destruction of these animals. My correspondent, who has been supporting a programme of neutering in Bucharest, asserts that many animals are being killed in a “barbarous and medieval way”. This is a case for both heads and hearts. If there are now too many animals for rehoming then, although the situation should never have been allowed to deteriorate to such a point, a cull may be the only answer and indeed may be the kindest answer. However, if Romania cares for its reputation among animal-loving countries, it will ensure a properly supervised and humane programme of destruction and will also implement a longer term programme of spaying and castrating. It would do wonders for its image if it asked the RSPCA or SPANA to oversee the process.

For the week beforehand, we’d go out every night after school foraging planks, crates and anything else that would

I don’t wear this wedding stress
ACCORDING to a new survey more grooms than brides said they were stressed out by planning their wedding. Really? I bet that was greeted with a hollow laugh by the female half of the married population. While modern man’s input probably now involves slightly more than just turning up sober on the day, I doubt most blokes’ concerns stretch much beyond worrying about which unwholesome revelation from his past the best man will dredge up in his speech.
READING about Sven-Goran Eriksson’s numerous conquests in his new memoirs, I’m reminded of that spoof advert that says: “Alcohol: helping ugly people have sex since…” followed by some improbable date like 1864 or 32BC. You get the idea. Let me emphasise here – I’m not calling Sven ugly; he’s a perfectly presentable bloke and anyway, one glance at the picture on top of this column and people are likely to start murmuring about stones LOVER: Ulrika Jonsson dated Sven and glasshouses, etc. Nor am I suggesting that Nancy, Ulrika et al could only get it together with him after sinking a shed load. But let’s face it: if you’d never previously clapped eyes on him but had been told about the legions of women who have fallen for his Scandinavian charms, the identikit picture you’d be more likely to draw up would resemble a young Björn Borg than the former England football boss. Sven gives hope to plain men everywhere but to the simple male brain his strike rate (if only his teams had been so successful!) leaves us even more bafﬂed by women than we are already. The man himself once told Nancy: “You wouldn’t want to know me if I was a plumber.” Was he right?

THE BBC’s new director-general Lord Hall summoned up the spirits of Morecambe and Wise as he called for the Corporation to return to the days when it was more stingy with licence-payers’ money. In a speech he referred to the routine in which Ernie would say to Eric, pictured: “Nice suit” and the latter replied: “It’s a BBC suit – small check.” Trying to avoid paying their star guests was a staple of the comedy duo’s routine, so much so that one of the favourite lines of Eric’s, which are inscribed around his statue in his home town of Morecambe, reads: “Tell Peter Cushing the cheque’s in the post.” The classically trained horror actor turned up on a Morecambe and Wise show in 1973 seeking payment for appearing as King Arthur in one of Ernie’s plays four years earlier, only to be told by Eric: “I don’t seem to remember you, Mr Crushing.” POSH japes abound at Downton Abbey, according to actor Allen Leech, who plays ex-chauffeur Tom Branson in the hit ITV1 series. “Hugh Bonneville and I like to out-joke each other on set,” he tells Woman magazine. “His favourite thing is to change a word in a sentence, so before a take he’ll say, ‘Remember, politics here means nipples’, and then he’ll say, ‘Tom, Sybil tells me your politics are hardening’. Did that take 14 takes? Yes it did!” Once everyone’s sides stop aching, how shocked must the rest of the cast be that the actor behind Lord Grantham could be so risqué? HE doesn’t always excite universal approbation but it’s difﬁcult to fault Piers Morgan’s latest observation to Jemima Khan when the two of them appeared as guests on Richard Bacon’s Radio 5 Live show yesterday. The chat show host graciously hailed the heiress’s former husband Imran Khan as “one of the most charming guys I’ve ever met”, before adding in reference to her subsequent romantic interests Hugh Grant and Russell Brand: “Unfortunately your boyfriends went downhill after that.” SOME timely advice for the Prime Minister before the country next goes to the polls in 18 months. “To win the next election David Cameron should help Boris [Johnson] get a safe seat and make him deputy PM,” Peter Stringfellow, pictured, tells the London Loves Business website. “He should then do a deal with Nigel Farage, bring him into the Cabinet and give him one or two areas for Ukip MPs.” Nick Clegg however can rest easy: Stringy, 73, says he won’t now stand against the Lib Dem leader in his Shefﬁeld Hallam constituency, explaining: “I’m very happy being a nightclub owner.” Not that there’s anything wrong with his political antennae. “The one good thing that Boris has proved is that the less you do as the Mayor of London, the better you are,” he says. “I can’t think of anything he’s done apart from the bicycles.” Has the other blond-maned one ever been summed up more pithily? TREASURY Questions had them rolling in the aisles in the House of Commons yesterday. First, shadow chancellor Ed Balls declared of his opposite number: “He doesn’t give an EDF about energy prices,” – only for George Osborne to respond: “He’ll never be npower with questions like that!” Customers worried about their heating bills will surely appreciate such priceless Westminster knockabout. Makes you almost nostalgic for the Chuckle Brothers.

Rebekah Brooks at court yesterday
FORMER News International boss Rebekah Brooks interrupted a holiday with EastEnders star Ross Kemp to “make a phone call” about missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler, the phone hacking trial was told yesterday. The Old Bailey heard that her then ﬁance jokingly told her off when she left him in a Dubai bar to make her business call. Prosecutors claim that the contact between the then editor of the News of the World and her journalists is evidence she knew they had hacked into murdered 13-year-old Milly’s mobile. It is alleged Brooks kept in touch with the ofﬁce when, as chief of the now-defunct Sunday tabloid, she took her break with Kemp in April 2002. William Hennessy, in Dubai at the same time and who knew the couple through a friend, told the trial she spent up to 60 per cent of her time on the phone. He said Kemp, who Brooks married two months later but has since divorced, jokingly

Rebekah ‘knew about hacking of Milly phone’

ticked her off for working during their break. Mr Hennessy, a distribution and marketing director for Hertz, said: “He [Ross] said, ‘You are always working’. He remonstrated that she was on holiday. I think it was very lighthearted. “She said it was something to do with the missing Surrey schoolgirl and it was important.” The jury heard that Stuart Kuttner, the News of the World’s managing editor, admitted to Surrey Police they had hacked into Milly’s phone. The executive called ofﬁcers on April 13, 2002 – when Brooks was in Dubai – to tell them of a message left in error by a recruitment agency. He revealed reporters at the paper had listened to her messages. Kuttner was told the voicemail was thought to have been left by a professional hoaxer and the paper ran a story about it the next day. The article read: “The hunt for missing Milly Dowler took a new twist last night when it emerged that messages have been sent to her mobile phone after she vanished.” In the ﬁrst edition on Page 9, it quoted a voicemail message: “Hello, Mandy. We are ringing because we have some interviews starting. Can you call me back?” But in the second edition, sent to press at 9.30pm, the story had been relegated to Page 30 and only alluded to voicemail messages without including a quote. Mark Bryant-Heron, prosecuting, told the jury Brooks had called the News of the World after the ﬁrst edition and followed it at 7.56pm with a text to her deputy Andy Coulson, with whom she was allegedly having affair. Brooks, 45, of Churchill, Oxon, Coulson, 45, of Charing, Kent, and Kuttner, 73, of Woodford Green, Essex, deny conspiracy to intercept communications. Five other defendants have pleaded not guilty to similar charges. The trial continues.

Defendants may appear in court via internet
PLANS to allow defendants to face pre-trial hearings from the comfort of their homes were dismissed yesterday as “absurd”. New Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, said letting lawyers, prisoners and defendants on bail use video-call technology such as Skype and FaceTime could help cut legal costs and avoid the

headache of summoning lawyers to court. His comments were attacked by Tory MP Priti Patel. She said: “A defendant appearing in court for hearings is a fundamental part of our criminal justice system. “It would be absurd to think

they could give evidence from outside the courtroom just because it’s too difﬁcult. “Having a day in court – and a fair trial – is part and parcel of our respected justice system.” Lord Thomas said: “A lot of the difﬁculties we have...you need a pre-trial hearing, but it is often very expensive to get a prisoner

or a person who is out on bail to come to court, to get the lawyers to come to court and I think a lot of this can be solved by the use of technology.” But former Conservative MP and Daily Express columnist Ann Widdecombe said: “It’s crucial to be able to see and hear the person in the dock speaking.”

HE’S a famed ﬁlm-maker who has gained a multitude of awards over his 50-year career but Woody Allen’s teenage daughters think he’s just a loser. The Midnight In Paris director has confessed that his adopted 14 and 13-year-old daughters Bechet Dumaine and Manzie Tio – his children with wife Soon-Yi Previn, 42 – are completely underwhelmed by his body of work and consider him to be a bit of a fool. “My children have expressly said, ‘Dad, you are such a loser’. I am quoting directly there,” he told Harper’s Bazaar. “They are totally unimpressed with what I do or by me. “I’ve made 45 movies or so and I think one of the girls has seen two of them, and that’s it,” adds Woody, 77, who most recently directed comedy drama Blue Jasmine, starring Cate Blanchett. “You know they’re nice kids but they have no interest in me. They see me as an idiot savant.”

HAVING started acting at the tender age of 11 Daniel Radcliffe has vowed to avoid the trappings of fame which have felled many a former child star before him. “Maybe there are some people out there who love premiere parties, I’m not one of them,” says the 24-year-old Harry Potter star, who insists his lust for hard graft will prevent him going the way of others who have fallen by the wayside. “My idea of fun is being on a ﬁlm set for 12 hours a day and I think as long as that remains the focus, then generally it can go well. There are so many high-proﬁle cases of people who started young and then screwed up.’’ So who is Daniel’s inspiration for ensuring he won’t follow suit? Actress Jodie Foster, whose ﬁrst role was as a three-year-old in a US advert, he says. “Jodie handled her professional and personal life with more grace than almost anybody.”

WE never had her down as much of an anti-ﬂesh ﬂasher but KATY PERRY insists the reason she doesn’t emulate the likes of RIHANNA on stage is because of cellulite – at the ripe old age of 29! “I just can’t do it,” says Katy on stripping off on stage. “I’m at that age when your body starts falling apart! If I did that, all you would see is cellulite. “If I did have some of those younger bodies like MILEY’s or Rihanna’s maybe I would be sprawling out there a little bit more.” Despite wearing just a leopardskin bikini and grass skirt in the video for her latest single Roar, she adds: “I think it’s important to not just play the sexy card. Be sexy but be smart and sophisticated.”

Lisa twirls into a hot new life

ACTRESS and former Strictly Come Dancing favourite Lisa Riley admits she drank herself “into oblivion” to cope with the pressures of fame in her youth. Lisa, 37, who is releasing her new autobiography Never Judge A Book By Its Cover, recalls struggling to cope with the spotlight after landing her popular role as Mandy Dingle in soap Emmerdale. She tells Woman magazine: “One of the toughest times to relive was when I was 22 and drinking myself into oblivion. I couldn’t understand my sudden fame from Emmerdale and although it was ﬂattering because everybody adored Mandy, I wasn’t her. But I didn’t want to be Lisa Riley either. “It was frightening, and getting out of my nut on four bottles of wine and shots

of Southern Comfort would mufﬂe how I was really feeling.” And Lisa, who was eliminated at the semi-ﬁnal stage of last year’s Strictly competition along with dance partner Robin Windsor, thanks her father Terry for getting her back on the straight and narrow. “Getting leathered was just like another performance. I’d black out and couldn’t tell you who I’d spoken to. My wake-up call was my dad – when he speaks, I listen. I’m no Mother Teresa now but I never get like that any more.” On a more positive note, Lisa says she’s enjoying plenty of male attention since her stint on Strictly. “The interest I get from men is crazy,” she says. “False lashes are the key. I’ve had some gorgeous dates and I’m enjoying my life.”

THE STARS were out to celebrate Annie Lennox on Monday as the singer received a Music Industry Trust Award. Looking regal in a gold dress Annie, 58, said she was “very touched and honoured” to have had such prolonged success in a male-dominated industry: “Music has given me a lifetime of opportunities I never dreamed possible and I feel privileged to have become an artist and communicator, especially as a woman.” She then sang hits including There Must Be An Angel to guests at London’s Grosvenor House. Sandie Shaw, David Gray and Annie’s daughters Lola, 23, and Tali, 20, were among the guests. Singer Adele recorded a message to Annie, saying she was “a constant part of my life. So many of her songs have been the soundtrack to my life” and Ruby Wax called her a “Joan of Arc of the 21st century”. Praise indeed.

Strictly rivals ...Torvill faces Dean in a big TV dance-off
By Giles Sheldrick
THEY were an inseparable double act for more than 20 years but Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean will compete against each other for the ﬁrst time...on Strictly Come Dancing. The veteran ice ﬁgure skaters are swapping the rink for the ballroom in a one-off Strictly special for the BBC’s Children In Need appeal. Jayne will be paired with professional dancer James Jordan and Christopher with Aliona Vilani. Torvill and Dean won gold with their spellbinding Bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. But this week it was apparent the gruelling ballroom training sessions were taking their toll, with Jayne now 56 and Christo-

JAIMIE Alexander made a stunning entrance at the premiere of her latest movie. The 29-year-old actress walked down the red carpet wearing a “barely there” evening gown at the VIP screening of Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World. All eyes – and cameras – were ﬁxed on lovely Jaimie as she displayed her supertoned physique at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. The ﬁgurehugging outﬁt – dubbed the “raciest dress ever” – left little to the imagination, featuring a wide panel of sheer black netting on the front and back that stretched from her shoulders to her feet. There was not a glimpse of underwear beneath the risque dress, which only just about hid her bare essentials. Jaimie joked: “Strategically, there is tape in places where tape has never been before.” She also wore glittery gold stilettos with a pointed toe, adding a few inches to her already impressive 5ft 9in frame. Having shot to stardom as Norse goddess Sif in Thor, the ﬁlm’s 2011 prequel, there are now suggestions she could soon take on the role of Wonder Woman. Jaimie was among a host of stars at the glitzy event in Los Angeles. She was joined by British Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, who plays Odin the father of Thor, the god of thunder. The Silence Of The Lambs actor, 75, posed for photographs alongside his Columbian wife Stella Arroyave, 57, and two of her relatives.

HOOFING HAIRY BIKER WHO WON’T GO HOME

A

F STRICTLY Come Dancing was a competition to ﬁnd the crinkly-eyed charmer of the year no one would be making a fuss. Unfortunately for Dave Myers, it’s supposed to be about moving with grace and style on the dance ﬂoor and the man who made his name as one half of road-trip cooking duo The Hairy Bikers is to hooﬁng what Gene Kelly probably was to knocking up roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. As a result his continuing success in the popular vote is exasperating the dance purists. Every week another celebrity puts in a superior performance only to ﬁnd themselves being shown the door because, while Myers is marked down by the judges, he retains his place thanks to public support. Last month the 55-year-old TV chef and his professional dance partner Karen Hauer sparked the longest standing ovation in the show’s history for a Meat Loafinspired paso doble. “Bruce [Forsyth] and Len [Goodman] have both said we are the people’s champions,” he says. “If we could bottle the feeling we got last Saturday night it would be amazing.” And Myers is not about to retire early because of something as triﬂing as a social media backlash. “I’m having a good time and I’m not going to let people spoil that. It’s a bit disrespectful to the people who have spent their time and possibly a bit of money to keep me in.” He insists he has no intention of following in the footsteps of John Sergeant, the political journalist who withdrew from the sixth series of Strictly after he was repeatedly saved by the public vote despite ﬁnishing bottom of the judges’ score board nearly every week.

ON A ROLL: Karen Hauer helps Dave get to grips with his posture problems; his other supporters include his wife Liliana, top, and TV co-star Si King

R
tion so potent it has turned him into an unlikely sex symbol. One fan greeted his performance in the paso doble with a tweet saying: “Not so much a matador as a mata-phwoah”. Even Darcey Bussell, who as a former principal ballerina with the Royal Ballet can spot a bungled quickstep at 50 paces, has confessed to being “strangely in love” with him. “She’s said it twice now,” said Myers recently. “So no, I wouldn’t say I’m that much of an unlikely sex symbol. My wife fancies me and I’ve always done all right.” Some might be surprised that there is a wife as Myers and his sidekick Si King come across as carefree bachelors, touring the world on their high-powered superbikes and ﬁlming their shows. But both of them are happily married. Myers met Liliana Orzac in 2005 when he and King were in Romania ﬁlming The Hairy Bikers Do Transylvania. Lili, a petite brunette who is almost as bouncy as her husband, was sitting behind the reception desk when they walked into their hotel. She remembers the moment well: “The room got dark with these two massive hairy people coming in.” There followed a curiously oldfashioned courtship. Lili, who at 46 is nine years younger than her husband, had two children – Sergiu and Iza – by a previous marriage and the couple took things slowly at ﬁrst. They spent a year writing to each other until Myers persuaded Lili to join him with her children in his home town of Barrow-in-Furness. There were the inevitable teething troubles. Lili put Myers’s precious 18th-century Meissen porcelain in the dishwasher – “Some survived, some didn’t” he recalled later. He in turn has a habit of cooking lunch on Christmas Day dressed as an elf and Lili once woke to see him standing naked in front of the open doors of the wardrobe behaving as if he was doing a piece to camera. A sleepwalking issue apparently. But they are madly in love. When they went on All Star Mr & Mrs earlier this year, she said: “I am making my life with the person I love. It is a fairytale.” He says: “Everything just works and in that respect I’m the luckiest bloke in the world and I look forward so much to coming home.” They were married in 2011. As a Barrow lad, it was important to Myers to get hitched in his home town and the town hall was requisitioned for the occasion. The mayor, Councillor Rory McClure, loaned the couple his ofﬁcial limousine as a wedding car. Si was best man and both men wore kilts in homage to Myers’s distant Scottish heritage. It might be reassuring to Strictly fans to report that Myers performed well in his wedding dance – except that there wasn’t one. “We

were too drunk!” he says. “We can barely remember the wedding. I think we might have danced to Rock You Like A Hurricane. We just jigged up and down a bit.” Strictly viewers might observe that nothing has changed. Lili and Dave have now been married for almost three years but it is his longer TV relationship with Si King for which he is best known.

ND HE says deﬁantly: “A few people have suggested it on Twitter but my reaction to that is they can stick their head in a bucket of custard. If I’d supported somebody and they walked off in a big ﬂounce and said ‘I’m not doing it any more’ I’d be annoyed. There are two sides to it so I’m going to hold my head up and keep going.” The secret of the bearded Cumbrian’s success is his irresistible enthusiasm and charm, a combina-

WorldMags.net

ECALLING their meeting in 1995, King says: “It was on the set of a Catherine Cookson TV drama, The Gambling Man. I was the second assistant director and Dave was head of prosthetics, hair and make-up [he is a professional make-up artist]. “At lunch most of the crew were ordering salads and mineral water at the local pub, while I was having a curry and two pints of lager. When Dave came in he took one look at my lunch and went, ‘I’ll have what he’s having!’ Pretty quickly we discovered that we both loved eating, drinking and motorcycling.” They wangled a pilot called The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook and have not looked back since. That ﬁrst series spawned a host of others ranging from The Hairy Bikers’ Mississippi Adventure, The Hairy Bakers, The Hairy Bikers’ Mums Know Best and The Hairy Dieters. There are also 10 spin-off books and Dave is clearly sticking to the advice offered in the subtitle to his latest one: How To Love Food And Lose Weight. “Strictly is helping me keep the weight off,” he says. “I also started off with a bad back and dodgy knees but Karen has been teaching me posture, how to walk properly and stand straight. I’ve spent 35 years huddled over a motorbike and now my back is getting straight, my backache has gone and my knees are great. “But not everyone is lucky enough to be dancing with the world mambo champion. It’s like having your ﬁrst driving lesson in a Ferrari.”

A SHOW-STOPPING quiff and a sharp suit made Brooklyn Beckham the perfect stand-in for his father as he accompanied mum Victoria on the red carpet last night. The 14-year-old eldest son of the fashion designer and footballer David looked every inch a Beckham as he posed for photographers outside the 2013 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Mother-of-four Victoria, 39, seemed to relish having the teenager accompany her to the bash at Claridge’s in London. She wore a ﬁgure-hugging ﬂoor-length black dress with plunging neckline and dazzling diamond drop earrings to pick up the coveted special contribution to British fashion award. David would have been so proud of his son looking poised and stylish in a dapper black suit with matching narrow tie. But even cool Brooklyn looked a little bashful as he came under the intense gaze of his adoring mum.

THIS is Britain’s biggest student house, where 32 youngsters enjoy party time every night...and even do some studying. Regent House, made up of four large Victorian terraced properties knocked into one, is home to fun-loving Plymouth University undergraduates. The 24 boys and eight girls reckon they eat 100 tins of beans, 50 Pot Noodles and 150 takeaways a week – plus cans of beer. That generates 20 sacks of rubbish. But the student community, who each pay between £75 and £100 per week for their privatelyowned digs, have three cleaners to clear up. They share 22 toilets, seven shower cubicles and three kitchens. Between them they attend 320 hours of lectures a week. But work is ﬁtted in between 1,300 hours watching daytime TV and 900 hours playing computer games. Thomas Riggs, 20, has lived at Regent House for three years while studying English. He said: “We’re like one very big family. It’s crazy but a lot of fun. “We go out several nights a week and pretty much every night we have a drink in the house – so it feels like one big party.” Dietetics student Sara Jones, 19, admitted: “It can be distracting. “It’s noisy and hectic – but I’m noisy, so it’s ﬁne.”

Artist honoured for his tribute to Bomber heroes
By Giles Sheldrick
THE man who created the poignant sculpture of brave young airmen that stands at the centre of the Bomber Command memorial learned last night he had won a top award. Philip Jackson’s breathtaking bronzework depicts a seven-strong crew returning from a raid. The sculptor was set to work after the Daily Express and our army of readers vowed to correct the decadeslong injustice that no permanent memorial had ever been erected to honour the “bravest of the brave”. Liam O’Connor designed the stunning Portland Stone memorial. But it is Mr Jackson’s 9ft sculpture that really stirs the emotions.

VILE vandal faces jail
A VANDAL who scrawled “Lee Rigby’s killers should hang” on the Bomber Command memorial has been told he faces jail. Daniel Smith, 21, pleaded guilty to the act of desecration. He wrote the words, along with “EDL” and f*** the police”, days after soldier Lee was hacked to death in south London. Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London heard Smith, of Salford, Greater Manchester, was “disgusted with himself”. Judge Quentin Purdy said many people had been “deeply offended”.
they are not triumphant, they all have expressions of fatigue and relief. “When I looked at pictures of these airmen, what struck me was they didn’t look young at all – they had aged prematurely.” The memorial was created thanks to the determination of a small band of veterans together with Daily Express owner Richard Desmond – who matched the £500,000 donated by this newspaper’s readers – the late Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb and Seventies pop star Jim Dooley. Fundraising director Mr Dooley, 65, said: “I will never forget visiting Philip’s studio with Robin and some of the veterans when we saw the ﬁrst ﬁgures cast in clay – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.”

Excellence
And now the work in London’s Green Park has won the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association’s Marsh Award for excellence in public sculpture. It goes to works showing originality, artistic quality and merit, and concern for their setting. Mr Jackson, 69, said: “This recog nition came as a great surprise and I’m delighted for the people this sculpture was created for because they waited such a long time for it. “Night after night, the men of Bomber Command went out on long and difﬁcult raids – and that required an extraordinary level of bravery. These guys spent nine hours in the air being shot at over enemy territory –

Single mothers defeated in benefits cap challenge
THE Government won a High Court battle yesterday when its ﬂagship “beneﬁt cap” policy was ruled l awful. Two judges accepted that three single mothers who brought a chal lenge on human rights grounds had “particularly hard cases”. But capping beneﬁts at the national earnings average of £500 a week per household was not disproportionate nor did it breach human rights laws, Lord Justice Elias and Mr Justice Bean declared. They said it was not for the court to interfere with a Government policy aimed at reducing long-term dependency on beneﬁts and encouraging people into work. The cap covers housing beneﬁt, child beneﬁt and child tax credit to families who do not work enough to qualify for working tax credit. It is set

at £26,000 a year for couples or lone parents – and less for single people without children. Lawyers for the mothers and one child from each family, all from London, said the “cruel and arbitrary” measure was “reminiscent of the days of the workhouse”. Dismissing the claim for judicial review, the judges said many people thought the cap was “too parsi monious”. They added: “But that is ultimately a policy issue and we do not think it can be said that the scheme is so manifestly unfair or disproportionate as to justify an inter ference by the courts.” The three mothers plan to take their case to the Court of Appeal. ***/lmx

HE queues of children stretched like giant snakes from the nation’s railway stations. Every boy and girl carried a small suitcase and a box containing a gas mask. Name cards were pinned to the lapels of their coats and many sang to keep their spirits up. For some it was a great adventure but mothers could not conceal their tears. The exodus from Britain’s towns a few days before the declaration of war against Germany in September 1939 was an extraordinary sight. Operation Pied Piper, as it was codenamed, had been planned for more than a year. Within just four days a million children and their teachers ﬂed to the countryside to be safe from Hitler’s bombers. Brothers and sisters clutching each other’s hands were lined up in village and school halls, where locals took their pick. The words “I’ll have that one” became etched on the memories of countless children. The evacuation, the subject of a BBC Radio 2 drama-documentary this weekend, was organised by a government still haunted by the Zeppelin raids of the First World War. As another conﬂict became inevitable reports suggested that bombing raids would cause carnage in urban areas. Some predicted up to four million casualties. Yet there were also fears that an evacuation would cause panic and create a logistical nightmare. It was delayed for as long as possible, while negotiations to prevent war

PERSUASION: A poster campaign tried to convince reluctant parents to send children to the countryside
wartime in Pulborough. He says: “I came to regard the Birchalls as surrogate parents and I was sad to go back to London in 1944. After the war I kept in touch and ended up moving to Pulborough.” There was a trickle back to the cities when the anticipated raids did not start immediately after war broke out. But when the “phoney war” ended and bombs began to fall in earnest there was another wave of evacuations. Some children were sent to Canada, Australia and the US. It’s estimated that more than three million British children were displaced during the war.

‘For some it was little more than a child abuser’s charter’
continued. But when Poland was invaded the signal was given: “Evacuate forthwith.” On September 1 the ﬁrst groups of children began leaving towns and cities on trains and requisitioned buses. In London schoolchildren sang The Lambeth Walk while elsewhere there were choruses of Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye. “We marched to Peckham station behind our head teacher carrying a banner with our school’s name on it,” says James Roffey, founder of the Evacuees Reunion Association. “We thought it was a holiday and I was wildly excited. The only thing we couldn’t work out was why the girls and women were crying.”

ESPITE the planning the evacuation did not run like clockwork. The number of homes on offer in each rural community was meant to match the number of children arriving but there was often a lack of places. James, now 82, who was evacuated to Pulborough, West Sussex, adds: “When hundreds of us arrived it was chaos, with lots of shouting. We waited so long at the station that some of the older boys, who’d seen road signs, began walking back to London. After that they put us in cattle pens to stop anyone else making a run for it.” Eventually he was taken to the

village school along with his older brother and younger sister. Combs dipped in disinfectant were yanked through the children’s hair by a fearsome village nurse. Next it was the lottery of where they would be staying and James says: “The last thing my father said before we left London was, ‘Don’t let them separate you’ but no one was willing to take all three of us. My sister was in ﬂoods of tears as my brother was marched away.” Anna Freud, the daughter of Sigmund, later carried out a study of the psychological effects and concluded: “Separation from their parents was a worse shock for some children than a bombing.” There was also no vetting of the rural homes and some of the boys and girls had terrible experiences. Evacuation has been described as little more than a child abuser’s charter but this was swept under the carpet for years afterwards. James Roffey ended up living over the village sweet shop run by a

kind but strict couple, the Birchalls. Like many evacuees he was homesick and faced local hostility. “It was all right during the day but in the dark I used to cry myself to sleep,” he says. “But you could never mention it or show ingratitude. You were told you were fortunate to be away from the bombs. “I remember watching the dogﬁghts overhead during the Battle of Britain and I was aware of what was happening in London during the Blitz. My father was in the Home Guard so I only saw him once but my mother visited occasionally. “It was a strange time. I was given a penny’s worth of sweets a day so rationing never worried me but there were problems with the village boys who would ambush us.” Despite having to work in the sweet shop and adjoining tea-room, James has happy memories of his

VACUATION was not compulsory and some parents refused to send children away, despite propaganda posters which encouraged co-operation. One showed an air raid warden standing over a boy with the words: “Leave Hitler to me sonny – you ought to be out of London.” Families accepting children were paid at least eight shillings a week by the government and it’s claimed that many offered homes not for love but for money. In the worst cases children were left near starving while their hosts spent most of the money on themselves. There were strange accents to contend with and the majority of the boys and girls were taken in by agricultural labouring families. Living in a cottage with no electricity or hot water and a privy in the garden was a shock for the “townies”. A minority were used as unpaid farm labourers and many tried to run away. It’s said that some were haunted by the misery of evacuation for decades, while others struggled with homecomings after years away. For those unfortunate children the war did not end in 1945. On the other side of the coin were positive experiences – friendships formed, an appreciation of country life and learning skills such as baking bread and rearing animals. A few children landed on their feet and were taken in by aristocrats. One East End girl found herself waited on by a butler and servants. It’s generally agreed that Operation Pied Piper achieved its aims. Of the 60,000 British civilians killed during the Second World War, about 5,000 were children. Without the biggest movement of people in Britain’s history the death toll would undoubtedly have been much higher. ● Operation Pied Piper, 9pm, BBC Radio 2, Saturday.

FAMILY FORTUNES: Cutting schemes’ management fees should allow pensioners to have a richer retirement

Watchdog puts bite on ‘rip-off’ pension costs
CAMPAIGNERS are calling on the Government to impose bigger reductions in the fees imposed on workplace pensions. Consumer group Which? says that ministers should limit the annual running charges levied on new auto-enrolment pension schemes to 0.5 per cent a year rather than the 0.75 per cent that is being planned. The organisation says this could make a difference of more than £40,000 to a typical pension at retirement age. Millions of UK workers are being automatically enrolled into their employer’s workplace pension scheme under legislation that came into force last year. This is designed to boost the number of people saving for their retirement, although scheme members are free to opt out whenever they wish. Pensions minister Steve Webb last week announced a consultation on limiting pension charges. The Coalition is proposing a 0.75 per cent cap, with the possibility of some providers charging as much as 1 per cent as long as they can justify their higher rates. Last month an Office of Fair Trading (OFT) report into pension charges found that many old schemes had excessive fees and represented poor value for money. Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “Millions of people are paying into rip-off pensions but many might not realise so much of their money is being taken in fees until it’s too late. “While we strongly support the direction of the Government’s plans, there is an urgent need for better minimum standards for all

workplace pensions so people can be conﬁdent that they are being enrolled into high-quality, goodvalue schemes. “With consumers being squeezed by the rising cost of living, there is no room for rip-off pension schemes in the workplace.” Lloyd added that a cap should be extended to existing schemes, not just new pensions. Which? also wants the Government to ban increases in annual management charges that are often imposed when workers change jobs and stop paying into their previous employer’s scheme. Which? said its research showed that more than a third of people

‘Consumers are being squeezed’
who had opted out or planned to opt out of their employer’s autoenrolment scheme said they did not trust the pension industry to look after their cash. Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at adviser Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “The OFT has highlighted that there is important work to be done in reducing charges on old existing schemes, some of which have charges in excess of 1 per cent.” However, he said that turning the focus on charges risked undermining the success of the auto-enrolment project. “Trustees and scheme brokers

have an important role to play in negotiating charges down on behalf of members” McPhail said. “However, it is also vital that autoenrolment is implemented successfully, “We know that charges for new schemes are already well below 1 per cent. “We also know that the best results from auto-enrolment come when the beneﬁts are actively promoted to the members. “To date, the success of autoenrolment, with its very low optout rates, has all been thanks to good communication. “The Government’s ﬁrst priority should be to ensure the success of auto-enrolment. If it attempts to drive down charges too quickly it could do more harm than good.” Pensions expert Ros Altmann said: “I am broadly supportive of charge control but we must recognise that pensions cannot be provided individually at what is a very low cost. “A 0.5 per cent charge cap would endanger scheme quality. It is important also to focus on what charges are actually included.” McPhail claimed that Which? had overstated the potential beneﬁts of reducing the proposed cap from 0.75 per cent to 0.5 per cent. The organisation has worked out that someone saving £100 a month, increasing by 4 per cent a year, for 46 years would end up £40,500 better off thanks to the lower charges. However, McPhail said that this calculation failed to take inﬂation into account. “If you allow for 2.5 per cent inﬂation, the difference is actually only £13,000 in today’s money.”

How to harness the spirit of
HE number of people running their own business in the UK has soared since the financial crisis to about 1.7 million one-man bands. Many are working out of spare rooms, garages or even garden sheds as Britain’s entrepreneurial spirit thrives despite the downturn, according to insurance specialists LV= Broker. However, the growing army of self-employed are often so busy they neglect their personal ﬁnances. Many risk being poor in retirement by not having a pension. Others neglect to claim benefits in difﬁcult early years or fail to insure against things going wrong. Here’s how to prevent your business venture turning into a personal disaster.

Make sure going it alone as your own boss pays off, says Harvey Jones
cent and 6 per cent of salaries into company schemes, with employees adding another 3 per cent, says Andrew Tully at retirement specialists MGM Advantage. “If you’re self-employed, you pay all that from your own pocket. This could mean as much as 9 per cent of your earnings, which most self-employed people simply aren’t doing.” The new Government-backed auto-enrolment scheme, which is providing millions of low-paid workers a company pension for the first time, doesn’t extend to the self-employed. And they do not qualify for the second State pension (S2P) either, which means they only get the basic State pension. However, there is good news on this front, Tully says. “The Government is planning to merge S2P into the basic State pension, to create a single ﬂat-rate universal pension. The self-employed will be eligible for the full pension if they make at least 35 years of national insurance contributions.” The new pension, which should be launched in April 2016, is expected to be £146 a week for a single person. That is more generous than today’s £110.15, although it still only works out as £7,592 a year. So you still need to start saving yourself. The second piece of good news is that the taxman will top up your contributions. HM Revenue & Customs gives you tax relief on your pension contributions, at 20 per cent for basic-rate taxpayers and 40 per cent for higher-rate taxpayers, Tully says. “To save £100 in a pension a month, a basic-rate taxpayer only has to pay in £80 and a higher-rate taxpayer just £60, giving your pension pot a valuable boost.” Insurance companies such as Friends Life, Aviva, Scottish Widows and Standard Life all offer low-cost schemes. They allow you to stop, start or change contributions whenever you wish without penalty, which is vital for self-employed people with highly variable income. More experienced investors might prefer a self-invested personal pension (Sipp), which allows you to invest directly in stocks and shares and thousands of investment funds. Cavendish Online, Hargreaves Lansdown, Sippdeal and others offer low-cost Sipps. The drawback with all pensions is that you can’t touch your pot before you are 55 at the earliest. That is why many selfemployed people prefer their retirement savings in individual savings accounts (Isas) because they offer greater ﬂexibility, says Patrick Connolly, certified financial planner at Chase de Vere. “If you need money in an emergency or to invest extra cash in your business, you can’t raid your pension, but you can dip into your Isa.” You can invest up to £11,520 this ﬁnancial year in stocks and shares Isa. You don’t get tax relief on contributions as you do in a pension but all growth and income is free of tax. “The ideal way to save for retirement is via a combination of pensions and Isas but many self-employed people, who often have sharp swings in earnings, understandably prefer Isas,” Connolly says. Funds he recommends for a stocks and shares Isa include Investec UK Special Situations, JPM Emerging Markets and AXA Framlington American Growth. You should only invest in stocks and shares if you don’t expect to need the money for at least ﬁve years Otherwise, consider a low-risk cash Isa instead. You can save up to £5,760 in a cash Isa this ﬁnancial year. However you save, don’t wait too long. Your earliest contributions will be the most valuable because they have longer to grow.

PROTECTION

THE self-employed don’t get workpla benefits such as death-in-service cov and sick pay, so they must set these up f themselves, says Tom Baigrie, of speciali protection advisers LifeSearch. “Priority should be to protect your fami and your business if you’re unable to wor Do this by taking out the little-known, b highly valuable, income protectio insurance.” This pays a replacement tax-free incom if you cannot work due to sickness or health. Income continues until you are enough to return to work or if you nev recover, until you reach retirement age. Don’t get this confused with payme protection insurance, badly mis-sold b the banks: income protection is superior To reduce costs, most people take out policy that pays after six months of illnes using savings to survive in the interim. The cost depends on age, lifestyle an state of health. A 40-year-old non-smokin man would pay £40 a month for tax-fr replacement salary of £35,000 to age 60, 50-year-old would pay £74 a month. A cheaper short-term policy that pa out only for the ﬁrst two years of illne would cost him around £23 a month at a 40 and £42 at age 50. Also consider critical illness cover, whic pays a tax-free lump sum if you suffer serious illness such as cancer, heart attac and stroke. Private medical insuranc could spare you a long wait on the NH which may be a financial disaster if yo can’t run your business in that time. “It best to buy your cover as soon as possib because your premiums will only rise you get older,” Baigrie says. Also build up a reserve of cash to see yo through any period where income su denly dries up or you’re unable to work.

Cover for home working
MANY small business owners working from home believe home insurance will cover their business. However, most policies won’t cover business cash, equipment or stock kept at your home or any accidental damage caused by business activities. Fire, ﬂood or burglary could cost you, especially if you lose valuable stock or can’t trade for several weeks, says Mike Crane, a commercial insurance broker at LV= Broker. “If you source and sell goods such as vintage items or collectables, it can take a lot of time and money to build up stock levels again.” Consider public liability insurance, Crane says. “People offering services such as beauty treatments or massage often treat clients at home but ‘slips and trips’ type liability claims are on the increase and the owner is liable for any harm that befalls clients.”

State beneﬁts may be of help
YoUr income could drop sharply when you strike out on your own, which means you may suddenly be entitled to means-tested State beneﬁts you couldn’t claim before, says Justin Modray, founder of personal ﬁnance website Candidmoney.com. “If your total income is lower than £13,000, or £18,000 a year for couples, you can claim up to £1,950 a year in working tax credits.” If you have children and your household income is below £25,000, you could also receive child tax credits starting at £545 a year plus up to £2,720 per child. “You can also claim child beneﬁt, provided neither you nor your partner earns more than £60,000,” Modray adds.

Avoiding the point of no return
WHILE running your business it’s important that you also keep the taxman happy. One of your ﬁrst decisions must be to decide what form your business takes, says Mark Waddilove, tax partner at Baker Tilly. “You can choose from a number of legal structures, including a limited company, a partnership, a limited liability partnership or a sole trader. “You might need tax advice to appoint an accountant to help decide which is right for you.” You also need to notify HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) that you are trading by October 5 following the end of your ﬁrst tax year and ﬁle a self-assessment return by October 31 for paper returns or January 31 online. You pay your tax twice a year, on January 31 and July 31. “Paying a large lump sum can come as a shock so make sure

‘There will be penalties if you miss deadlines’
you have enough money aside well in advance,” Waddilove says. Miss any of the tax deadlines and you risk instant penalties, with further charges and penalties to follow. You may also

have to make national insurance contributions, which are charged at a different rate to employees. “The self-employed have to pay Class 2 national insurance contributions, £2.70 a week if you earn more than £5,725 a year, and Class 4 contributions. “These are earnings related, and paid with your tax bills,” Waddilove says. If your taxable turnover is set to top £79,000 a year, you’ll need to register for VAT within 30 days. Remember to keep all of your receipts for any business expenses, which can be deducted against your tax bill provided they are exclusively and wholly for business reasons.

Moped ﬁrm’s global drive hits top gear
VERY modern moped is rolling off a UK production line for international customers faster than its entrepreneur founders forecast. The Raptor is a battery-powered three-wheeled vehicle for those needing to cover varying distances quickly and cheaply. It is produced by new ﬁrm Ecospin and its popularity reflects the wider economic upturn and the growth prospects for small manufacturers. Figures out later this month from the Government-backed Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) are expected to see a continuation of the positive trends emerging this summer. Its quarterly survey of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reported that 50 per cent are planning to spend on new plant or premises and almost as many on new technologies. There has also been the biggest jump so far, 20 per cent, in the number of ﬁrms using its specialist new product development programme. First year sales for the £7,800 Raptor are £1.5 million, boosted by bulk orders from the US and Australia, says managing director of Ecospin and an ex - J a g ua r a n d P o rs ch e p r o d u c t designer, Paul Loomes, 49. He founded the Leicestershire-based company with his brother and fellow engineer David, 47. The highly manoeuvrable Raptor can reach 25mph and travel 12,000 miles on less than £100 of electricity. Its battery can be recharged from a normal socket. Take-up has been from core markets

Paul Loomes identiﬁed and designed for, such as the police, airport security, paramedics, mail delivery and leisure management companies. He says: “They were drawn by the speed and cost and the high visibility the stand-on design allows but also our vehicle’s capability to cope with varied terrain, gravel, grass and steep hills. “That is playing well with a domestic sector we had not really thought about as having potential before we started getting interest. “These are people who no longer drive or don’t want to use their cars all the time, who want their own local transport and help getting around but aren’t at the mobility scooter stage. “This is a growing sector in countries with ageing populations.” A design that is fully road legal in the UK has been vital to Raptor’s success as it isn’t restricted to private spaces. “So we could be part of the clean energy solution for urban roads worldwide,” says Loomes. Design, proof of concept and road legal safety approval took three years and £1.5 million investment, mostly from private funds, security on property, working capital from TSB and a £50,000 grant from MAS and access to its new product development programme. Loomes called it in at the outset and it helped reshape its target market and get early testing at independent engineering consultancy MIRA. Those results led to the Raptor featuring a twin rear-wheel drive that improves its traction or grip. Combined with its custom-made electric powertrain, or chassis, and bespoke handling software for expert control and cornering, it is now the most stable vehicle of its type over difficult surfaces. Patents are now pending on its design. Ecospin employs seven, with 10 more roles in the pipline, and 20 more indirectly, as output increases.

A challenge of potential
S
OMETHING about AUTISM: CHaLLENGING BEHaVIOUR (BBC4) felt very familiar. As I watched four-year-old Jack preparing for his ﬁrst day at Treetops, a specialist state school for children with autism, I couldn’t put my ﬁnger on it. Then I heard about the technique used at Treetops, known as ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, and its origins in the work of an American psychologist called BF Skinner. It all came ﬂooding back then, thanks in part to archive footage of children being shouted at and more to my own upsetting memories of seeing a programme about someone who had experienced the ABA method in the early years. It has changed a lot since Skinner’s day, I am glad to report:

with them. Treetops, one of the very few state-run institutions to offer an ABA-based education, looked like a light, bright place, full of stimulating toys and caring staff. The deputy head, appropriately named Lesley Love, clearly had a deep affection for autistic children and recruited people she felt to possess the same qualities. However many times I watched this programme, I’d still be unable to say whether the modern version of ABA, as practised by Treetops, is right or wrong. An interview with a Norwegian specialist made things look clearer. Gunnar Fredriksson made the point that most schools try to accept autism as it is, whereas he saw it as a problem to be cured. He showed us an admittedly very ﬁne example of the cure in the

no shouting or slapping any more. At the core of the method, though, seems to be a basic belief that all people run on simple mechanisms, just like the lab rats on which Skinner ﬁrst experimented. If you reward “correct” behaviour, you can change how people behave, long term, however hard it may be to communicate

shape of Richard, now a Swedish national youth badminton player. Richard was treated by Fredriksson from a young age and it seemed he and his family owed the normality of their current existence to that. He was also, notably, very upset by video footage of himself, although whether this was about his memories of being autistic or of the sometimes traumatic-looking therapy wasn’t clear. That’s how I felt after this ﬁlm: unclear about ABA, which looked close to being a miracle for some but yet wasn’t being widely practised here. Is that because there’s some conspiracy against ground-breaking ideas or because a technique derived from experiments on lab rats could have the odd ﬂaw? I love CaSTLE (Channel 5) for

the sheer neatness of the concept. A blocked mystery writer starts shadowing the NYPD murder squad for inspiration, then ends up helping out when a killer copies the plots from his novels. Six series on, this quirky sleuth show shows no signs of drying up, as the catty relationship between writer Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) remains on slow boil and the corpses keep dropping on the Big Apple’s pavements. Last night saw two women killed and an uncanny similarity to a case four years back of a triple killer. Could they get their man before he claimed his third victim? You realise now why Castle can’t write another novel. It’s not because his ideas have run out, he’s simply too busy solving crimes.

Picks of the day
Drama: Agatha Christie’s Poirot, 8pm, ITV
In an effort to recover his conﬁdence after a rare professional failure, Agatha Christie’s celebrated sleuth Hercule Poirot sets off for the Swiss Alps when a young chauffeur begs him to ﬁnd a missing maid. Arriving at the isolated hotel, Poirot ﬁnds its rooms inhabited by a menagerie of miscreants with secrets to hide, including slippery psychoanalyst Dr Lutz (Simon Callow, near right, with David Suchet as Poirot), disgraced MP Harold Waring, kleptomaniac Vera Rossakoff and, most dangerous of all, the homicidal art thief Marrascaud. With Orla Brady, Morven Christie and Rupert Evans.

DID YOU KNOW? When Simon Armitage walked the Pennine Way he earned his food and accommodation along the route by giving poetry readings, seeing himself as a modern troubadour. He took no money with him at all.

Animals: Ben Fogle’s Animal Clinic, 8pm, Channel 5
It’s a busy week at the University of Liverpool, home to one of the UK’s top veterinary colleges, where orthopaedic surgeon Rob Pettitt has to screw back together the tiny fractured leg bones of pug puppy Bella. It’s a highly complicated procedure but Pettitt is determined to give her one more chance. Meanwhile, Kerry Harrison and her partner Neil entrust their young sheepdog Ruby (right, with presenter Ben Fogle) to Pettitt. Will he be able to rid her of the septic arthritis in her elbow?

History: Speeches That Shook The World, 9pm, BBC4
Poet Simon Armitage (above) dissects what makes a perfect speech. He talks to Tony Blair’s speechwriter, to Earl Spencer on his controversial address at his sister’s funeral and to the woman who challenged the Hackney rioters. We also hear how Enoch Powell’s divisive speech affected Paul Boateng and how Peter Tatchell confronted the BNP. Including classics by Churchill, Martin Luther King and Emmeline Pankhurst.

Documentary: Too Fat To Fly, 9pm, Channel 5
This eye-opening documentary in Channel 5’s Supersized season hears the holiday horror stories of Britain’s rapidly growing obese population. What happens when you have piled on the pounds and have an embarrassing incident on holiday? Jan and Alan, B&B owners from Hampshire, share their embarrassment at being told they were too heavy to sit together on their ﬂight to Guernsey. They have since lost an impressive 16st between them. When 32st Sandy from Wolverhampton took his seat on a ﬂight to Toronto, he realised it would be a tight squeeze but the last thing he expected was to be led off the plane and asked to purchase a second seat. Meanwhile, Jodie reveals how she went from a size 22 to a svelte size 8 after a mortifying massage in Turkey.

Cinema: Film 2013, 11.05pm, BBC1
As the latest series gets under way, Claudia Winkleman and Danny Leigh (above) review Alfonso Cuaron’s box ofﬁce record-breaker Gravity, the sci-ﬁ thriller starring Sandra Bullock, George Clooney and Ed Harris. Also featured is the documentary Seduced And Abandoned, which takes a wry look at the movie business. NB: 11.40pm in Scotland; 12.05am in Eire, Northern Ireland

Letters
If support for EU is wafer thin, let us get out now
So David Cameron has admitted in his speech to the CBI that public support for Britain staying in the European Union is ﬂimsy (“PM: Public support for Europe is ‘wafer thin’ ”, November 5). He admitted that Britons voted in the 1970s to join the European Economic Community, yet since then the EU has expanded into a quasi state and the people of this country were never asked if they agreed to stay in it. Well, Mr Cameron, the longer you leave letting the people decide, the less likely you will be in power after 2015. The year 2017 is too far away for an ‘in-out’ referendum. With Ukip knocking on your door the next election should be interesting. Andy Clark, Crawley, W Sussex

Cameron must act over our tide of protest
I congratulate the Daily Express for yet again leading the way in standing up to the European Union by getting tens of thousands of signatures together in protest at yet another diktat (“75,000 say no to more EU migrants”, November 5). If the Prime Minister really does think that, as this petition proves, ‘public opinion with the EU is wafer thin’ then he should stop brushing the issue into the long grass in order to appease the Liberal Democrats and act now. David Cameron should suspend British support for relaxing new border controls immediately rather than wait until after the 2015 election for a renegotiation because he knows full well the outcome of that election is not guaranteed to work in his favour. Plus, as was proved by Tony Blair’s broken promise as regards a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, not every politician can be trusted on this issue, can they? So I tell David Cameron in the kindest possible way: act now. Geoffrey Brooking, Hayling Island, Hants TIME TO ACT: Prime Minister David Cameron

96 years old and STILL as healthy as an avocado...

Farage brought home the truth over migrant flood
The article by Ukip leader Nigel Farage in support of the Daily Express crusade for stopping migrants on January 1 was enlightening and brings home the futility of our continued membership of the EU (“Allowing this new ﬂood of migrants is economic lunacy”, November 5). Unfortunately we are in dire need of a statesman, with a backbone, to protect us from imminent invasion. But the Prime Minister is more concerned with promises of future actions four years from now, when the damage will be irreversible but probably more beneﬁcial to David Cameron. Does PM now stand for Prime Marionette with all the strings being pulled from Brussels? It certainly seems so. Keep up the pressure, Daily Express. Anthony Groves, Birmingham

for the electorate is unbelievable. Indeed, it’s a good thing for MPs that their remuneration is not performance-related. It’s hardly surprising therefore that public contempt for, and mistrust of, our elected representatives is increasing with every day that passes. Robert Readman, Bournemouth, Dorset

Heartless heating advice is cold comfort to OAPs
So, MPs get their domestic heating bills paid on their expenses by taxpayers, as well as food, things ordinary people have to pay for themselves. The advice from the Government for elderly people to put on a

jumper in cold weather is patronising under the circumstances. If the elderly are too afraid of the cost to put the heating on, this would mean that they’re breathing in cold, possibly damp, air that can be harmful for their lungs. A cold house is also cheerless and putting on another jumper would not help this. A Wills, Ruislip, Middx

Ukip leader has message for our dithering leaders
UKIP leader Nigel Farage’s message on the potential inﬂux of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria is absolutely correct and its a pity David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg are like the three (un)wise monkeys on this topic and refuse to do anything about it despite having hordes of these people already on their doosteps. The election in 2015 looms ever closer with oblivion for Cameron, elimination for Clegg and humiliation for Miliband. Well done, Nigel. You have had my vote and many others for some time now. Barrie Warren, By email

Curb on benefits for home loans makes much sense
PLANS to make jobless homeowners give up a share of their property’s value for help from the taxpayer to pay their mortgage make so much sense they should

have been implemented long before mortgage squeezes caused the misery of so many repossessions. Still, better late than never (“New curb on beneﬁts for home loans”, November 5). If the taxpayers are to support mortgages then it makes sense that they share the equity in value growth, having become part-owners. Indeed, anything that the state can claw back from handouts is justiﬁable, no matter how loud the opposition may protest. Roger Moreton, Nuneaton, Warks

It’s not barking mad to pay for dogs’ retirement
I am in full agreement with Nottinghamshire Police’s decision to give its dogs a £1,500 pension payout (“Ruff justice? Force’s dogs get pensions”, November 5). I have rehomed three retired police dogs, two German shepherds and a springer spaniel. The ﬁrst German shepherd had a retirement that lasted only ﬁve-and-a-half months, while the second had a retirement of 16 months and cost more than £750 in veterinary bills over the ﬁnal four months of his life. He died from a tumour that he’d had for six years, in other words while he was still working. The springer spaniel enjoyed ﬁve years of retirement. The moral of this story is that the German shepherds have a hard working life and a short retirement and won’t claim their full pensions. Beryl Peach, Alston, Cumbria

DOES OFFICE JARGON MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL?
WHEN I hear phrases like touching base and information cascade I want to scream (“Blue-sky thinking... and other ofﬁce jargon”, November 5). When chaos reigns, the bluffers rule. And you can spot a bluffer a mile away when they come out with rubbish like this. A few years ago I worked for a company where the MD spoke like David Brent in The Ofﬁce, so in meetings we played ‘Bluffers’ bingo’ where we ticked off each of his toe-curling phrases until someone ﬁlled a line on their card. He was laid off about six months after the rest of us. Amy Hodson, Liverpool

MPs’ utility bills expenses furore is a scandal too far
We could be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that the parliamentary expenses scandal never took place. For all their bleating, MPs are well paid for the little most of them do, especially given that much of it is merely rubber-stamping the endless stream of instructions from our masters in Brussels. Expenses are still generous and restaurants and bars at the Palace of Westminster are heavily subsidised. And now we learn that taxpayers are footing the huge energy bills on their second homes, some of which amount to more than the annual utility bills of dozens of their constituents combined (“MPs claim £200k to pay for second homes’ energy bills”, November 4). Their arrogance and contempt

LANGUAGE is in a constant state of evolution and words and phrases that were once mocked have now become used in everyday life. Even a decade ago who would’ve thought textspeak such as ROFL, LOL and CUL8R would be in common usage today? At the time they were mocked as much as blue-sky thinking, singing from the same hymn sheet and parking a problem. These clichéd phrases might grate like ﬁngernails down a blackboard but at the root of every cliché is the truth. John Butler, Newcastle upon Tyne

Ten things you never knew about... basketball
James Naismith, the man widely regarded as the inventor of basketball, was born on November 6, 1861.

WILLIAM HARTSTON

1. Naismith was a Canadian-American sports coach asked by Springfield College Massachusetts to come up with a winter sport to keep athletes fit. 2. It has recently been claimed that Naismith’s original game involved rolling the ball along the ground before throwing it into a basket. 3. The idea of passing the ball by throwing it in the air has been attributed to Lambert G Will, a YMCA director in Herkimer, New York. 4.

LLOW me, if you will, to share with you some truly wondrous information that I have just learnt about avocados. I have long enjoyed these fruits, with prawns and cocktail sauce, or topped with curried crab and cooked in the oven, or thrown into a liquidiser with lime juice and lime zest and served as a dip, or rolled in seaweed with smoked salmon and cucumber and chopped into sushi. But I now view avocados with greatly increased respect, having discovered their evolutionary background and that they ought to be extinct. The reason, as I saw explained in a food and drink blog connected to the Smithsonian museums, is connected with giant sloths. The argument, which was originally outlined in a book called The Ghosts Of Evolution by Connie Barlow, published in 2000, is that avocados had no right to survive once the giant sloth and other megafauna became extinct. Until 10,000-15,000 years ago, mammoths, giant elk, huge horses and giant sloths roamed the world, snacking on a range of fruits and vegetables. In particular, they would swallow avocados whole, digest the fleshy part and expel the stone, more or less unscathed, in their poo. As some time would pass between eating and pooing, this resulted in dispersal of the avocado seeds that ensured the survival of the fruit. Then, however, the giant sloth and his giant friends became extinct. The large mouths needed to swallow avocados whole disappeared for ever and the main means of dispersal of the seeds vanished for ever. Several thousand years passed before humans started appreciating avocados enough to lend a hand in their survival by cultivating them. They have been a staple food in Mexico and further south in the Americas since around 500BC and the Spanish conquistadors learnt about them from the Aztecs in the 16th century and brought them to Europe. Since then, humans have taken over responsibility from the giant sloths for the avocado’s survival but how it managed to get through the first 10,000 or so years after the giant sloth’s extinction remains a mystery. The Spanish gave the fruit the name ‘avocado’ after discovering that the Aztecs called it ‘ahuacatl’. That name came from its shape: ‘ahuacatl’ was their word for ‘testicle’. The Spanish, however, heard a similarity between ‘ahuacatl’ and their word for a lawyer or advocate, ‘avocado’ (now ‘abogado’). While we are on the subject, it is interesting to note that ‘testis’ was the Latin for both ‘testicle’ and ‘witness’ and Louis XIV of France considered avocados to be an aphrodisiac. To complete the triptych, the orchid gets its name from the Greek ‘orchis’, which meant the same as the Aztec ahuacatl and the Latin testis, owing to the shape of its root. So now if anyone asks you what orchids, avocados and testimony have in common, you will know the answer. And it is all thanks to mammoths and the giant sloth.

MORNING MEETING PETER CUNLIFFE
CITY EDITOR
more than £700million and where a controlling shareholder has more than a 30 per cent stake. Most companies with a controlling shareholder are run entirely properly but there have been enough recent scandals for the rules to be tightened. The Institute of Directors is wary, fearing ﬁrms could be discouraged from listing in London. It makes the valid point that regulation is no substitute for investors doing proper due diligence. But many funds have to invest in big companies while private investors naturally assume that membership of the FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 gives some assurance about a company’s credibility. The watchdog decided not to raise the “free ﬂoat”, the proportion of shares freely traded from its current 25 per cent to 70 per cent. Its new rules offer a good balance, protecting minority shareholders’ interests without damaging the attraction of the London market. FOR sure Marc Bolland would like to be reporting a big bounce in sales and proﬁts but turning around Marks & Spencer is a long-term project. Food sales are doing well and there are signs the fall in clothing sales is slowing down (see below). The shares are near their highest level since January 2008 which suggests investors still have faith in the Dutchman to revive the British high street retailer’s fortunes. Bolland’s big test is Christmas when both shoppers and investors will be better placed to judge whether his revival plan is working or not.

OUGHER rules to prevent controlling shareholders abusing their powers at larger stock market-listed ﬁrms are to be imposed by the City regulator. The Financial Conduct Authority wants minority investors to be able to veto deals between a company and its controlling shareholder and to have more control over the appointment of independent directors. They will also get enhanced voting power where a controlling investor seeks to cancel a share listing or remove minorities’ rights. The rules will apply to ﬁrms worth

M&S still has the sparkle says Bolland
MARKS & SPENCER cautiously heralded a turnaround in womenswear sales yesterday as the department store delivered a 9 per cent drop in half-year proﬁts. Embattled chief executive Marc Bolland announced early signs of improvement in sales of the new coll e c t i o n t h a t wa s r e l a u n c h e d i n September as the lynchpin of his strategy to reverse the decline of general merchandise sales, which account for 46 per cent of the retailer’s business. “The autumn/winter collections were well received by three different parties: the fashion press, customers and employees,” he said, referring to the collection that was modelled by a cast of “leading ladies” including actress Dame Helen Mirren and artist Tracey Emin. Bolland refused to commit to a timetable for sales reaching a turning point. “We are not going to ﬁght against a certain date,” he said. “We

PRIMARK PRICES PROVE A HIT FOR ABF
STELLAR selling at budget fashion retailer Primark helped drive annual proﬁt at parent group Associated British Foods by 13 per cent. Sales at the high-street chain grew by 22 per cent to £4.3billion in the year to September 14, boosted by an aggressive expansion programme. “Anything tartan, clutch bags and black chinos,” helped increase like-for-like ﬁgures by ﬁve per cent, according to ABF chief executive George Weston. He added that a reorganisation in staff shift patterns helped Primark tidy up its stores, known for resembling jumble sales in busy periods. “In-store standards are better than they used to be,” he said. Primark launched a revamped website last Thursday to include more social networking. There are no plans to make this transactional after a short online trial with internet fashion retailer Asos earlier in the year proved unfruitful. Weston remained unfazed by Primark’s lack of online presence. “It’s not that were missing business, it’s that someone else isn’t taking ours,” he said. The chain opened 16 new stores in the ﬁnancial year. Proﬁt at ABF’s grocery business was up 24 per cent as a result of good trading and non-recurrence of restructuring costs. Full year proﬁt at ABF grew 13 per cent to £1.1billion. The shares fell 47p to 2208p.

are looking for a gradual improvement across collections and are trying step by step to improve quality.” As M&S unveiled its “believe in the Magic & Sparkle” seasonal advertising campaign the shares topped the FTSE 100 risers, up 22p to 509p. The new clothing collections hit the stores too late to have a big impact on like-for-like general merchandise ﬁgures for the three months to September 28, which were down for the ninth consecutive quarter by 1.3 per cent. Same-store food sales rose 3.2 per cent in the same period, driven by new lines and greater availability. “We’re well set up for Christmas. There is a mood in the country and more confidence than a year ago,” said Bolland. Underlying pre-tax proﬁt for the ﬁrst half of the ﬁnancial year fell to £261.6million from £287.3million for the same period the year before.

THE security ﬁrm that left the 2012 Olympics in the lurch plans to lay off more than 400 UK staff and sell off underperforming businesses, its new boss said yesterday. G4S chief executive Ashley Almanza, who assumed the role in July this year after the departure of Nick Buckles, announced his new strategy that he had identiﬁed 35 businesses to restructure. The move came as G4S ﬁghts to restore its reputation after it failed to staff the 2012 London Olympics adequately and recently became the subject of a Serious Fraud Ofﬁce probe

over electronic tagging contracts. Almanza acknowledged the firm had difficulties with its reputation. “G4S has strong fundamentals and these will be improved by changes to the way we manage the business. We will sharpen our strategic focus and strengthen our investment in customer service,” he said. The firm, which runs immigration centres and prisons, said pre-tax proﬁts for the nine months to September 30 were in line with the same period a year ago. Its shares fell 4¼p to 249¾p.

Service sector hits 16-year high
BRITAIN’S services sector grew at its fastest monthly pace for more than 16 years in October. Firms responded by taking on extra staff at a pace not seen since May 1997, said the closely watched Markit/ Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply managers’ index. Services is the biggest sector in the UK economy and accounts for three-quarters of economic output. Markit’s Chris Williamson said the ﬁgures showed that “UK economic recovery moved up a gear again”.

Imperial lights sales
IMPERIAL Tobacco believes it can light up the electronic cigarette market next year and denied slipping behind its rivals despite a smaller investment in the fast-growing product. Chief executive Alison Cooper conﬁrmed Imperial would bring out its own e-cigarette in 2014 after buying intellectual property from Chinese maker Dragonite earlier this year. Cooper said: “I don’t think we have slipped behind. You can get carried away putting in too much investment. We are taking a sensible, measured approach and will invest wisely – a lot less than our rivals. We are excited by it and there is an opportunity to establish a brand.” With smokers around the world kicking the habit, Imperial’s total volumes fell 7 per cent to 317 billion stick equivalents over the past year. Illicit trade remains a concern, accounting for 11 per cent of EU consumption and 15 per cent in the UK. UK revenues fell 7 per cent to £5billion and operating proﬁt fell by £4million to £623m. JPS was Imperial’s “star performer”, with Davidoff and Gauloises Blondes also doing well. Group proﬁt edged up 1 per cent to £3.2billion on unchanged tobacco sales of £7bn. Shares rose 72p to 2382p.

RSA in eye of storm as Europe bill soars
By Peter Cunliffe
RSA Insurance yesterday became the ﬁrst corporate casualty of last week’s storms as it warned the cost of claims would hit proﬁts, sending its shares tumbling. Its warning came as the Association of British Insurers estimated that the total cost of the storms to the UK insurance industry could be up to £130million. Shares in RSA fell 6.2 per cent, down 8p to 121p, wiping £282million off the stock market value of the FTSE 100 company. RSA said the “severe European windstorm” that hit the UK and continent last month would cost them £45million to £65million. It said the majority of the UK was affected by peak wind speeds of 60mph or less and the most extreme conditions were in relatively unpopulated areas. The majority of its bill came from Scandinavia which was worst hit as the storm increased and gathered strength over the North Sea. The wind reached speeds

THE chairman of regional airline Flybe stood down yesterday amid a strategic review after more than 20 years at the company. Jim French, who joined Flybe in 1990 and is a former chief executive, has been replaced by Simon Lafﬁn, a former group ﬁnance and property director at Safeway Plc. He has also served as a non-executive director at Aegis Group and Mitchells & Butlers. Flybe chief executive ofﬁcer Saad Hammad launched a review of the business after joining in August to ﬁght falling passenger numbers and

return the Exeter-based carrier to proﬁt growth. He said: “Jim French deserves recognition as the architect of Flybe’s development into a leading regional airline.” French joined the airline when it was known as Jersey European Airways, later becoming British European. He oversaw a major revamp of the business as it was forced to compete amid the rise of low-cost rivals. It was rebranded Flybe in 2002. A period of major expansion followed as it launched new services and swallowed up BA Connect.

of 110mph over Denmark. Severe weather in Canada and flooding in June and July have also cost the company £83million. Chief executive Simon Lee said: “This year is proving to be an exceptionally tough one for weather events for the group.” In a trading update RSA said its income from premiums was up 7 per cent to £6.7billion, with the fastest growth in emerging markets and Canada. Its figures were released as insurance broker Willis Re estimated the cost of the European storms at £1billion. That compares with an estimated £2billion bill for the 1987 storms that battered Britain.

MARKET REPORT
DRAX Group lost power yesterday amid fears over the imposition of carbon emission restrictions on existing coal plants. Drax fell 14½p to 634p as dealers noted the House of Lords had passed an amendment on the Energy Bill on old coal plants. It brings them within the requirement to meet the Emissions Performance Standard which puts an annual limit on carbon emissions from new fossil fuel plant. Some existing coal plants, which to date have had no restriction on carbon emission generated, are emitting at nearly double this limited rate. Liberum Capital analyst Peter Atherton said: “If it passes into law, it will be signiﬁcant negative news for Drax and other existing coal-ﬁred operators. They will face significant operational restrictions due to their CO 2 emissions. “The purpose of the amendment is clear – to drive coal off the power system faster and more completely than even the current set of regulations would deliver. This amendment might be overturned in the Commons but the suspicion is that the

Aching back? Get welcome relief and wonderful comfort with this luxurious Fleece Back Support Cushion!
Built-in lower back support ● Soft, warming faux ﬂeece cover ● Special wrap around design ● Suitable for any chair or bed ● Fully machine washable
What a transformation! If you tend to rely on an ordinary cushion to support your back when it aches, you’ll be simply amazed at the difference this Fleece Back Support Cushion will make. Its rather unusual shape has been specially designed to help relieve backache, encourage better posture and provide warming comfort all-inone! Generously ﬁlled with loft retaining hollow ﬁbre for softness and shape retention, its built-in lumbar support stops you from slumping - the main cause of back pain when sitting down. Combined with the upper back and wrap around side sections, this incredibly comfortable cushion supports you like no other cushion can! Faced with wonderfully soft and cosy faux sheepskin ﬂeece and a delightful burgundy fabric reverse, the Fleece Back Support Cushion is ideal for anyone who sits for long periods or is prone to backache.

Red Cadeaux, under Gerald Mosse, battled all the way up the straight, but the locally-trained runner, partnered by Damien Oliver, stayed on best to edge ahead at the line. It was Oliver’s third success in the race following Doriemus in 1995 and Media Puzzle in 2002.

COLIN BATEMAN
EXCLUSIVE
MATTHEW HOGGARD has described the selection of England’s squad in Australia this winter as “bizarre”.

Former Ashes winner Hoggard believes England have blundered over the make-up of the pace attack and are putting a huge burden on the shoulders of their senior bowler, Jimmy Anderson. The battle for the fast-bowling places in the ﬁrst Test, which starts on November 21, continues over the coming four days in Hobart as England take on Australia A, and Hoggard is amazed Graham Onions is not there. Instead Steve Finn, Chris Tremlett and Boyd Rankin – all 6ft 7in plus – are seemingly vying for one place alongside Anderson and Stuart Broad. “You have to ask, why isn’t Onions there?” said Hoggard, a member of the 2005 Ashes-winning side who were renowned for the variety in its bowling attack. “I ﬁnd it bizarre that we have three similar bowlers out there competing for one place. “If something happens to Anderson we will have four tall, hit-the-deck quick bowlers to choose from, because that is what Broad is as well. We don’t have another bowler who pitches it up and makes it swing. “Onions should consider himself unlucky after the performances he put in for Durham to help them win the Championship last summer and because he offers a different style of bowling.” Onions, the leading wicket-taker in the country last season with 70 victims at 18 apiece, was in England’s Ashes squad last summer without playing a Test. Hoggard said: “He has that nagging length and always hits the stumps, while the tall bowlers are missing the stumps with the bounce they generate, particularly in Australia, so getting lbws are ruled out to a large extent. England

Our attack is ‘bizarre’ says Hoggy
have put all their eggs into Anderson staying ﬁt. He is key and, hopefully, he will keep churning out the wickets, but if he gets injured we are suddenly relying on three tall fast bowlers, and that means the batsmen will not have to change technique. “If all the bowlers bang it in, the Aussie batsmen can just sit on the back foot and get into a groove. Onions could be a big miss.” Onions, who conceded he was “absolutely gutted” not to be in the 17-strong Ashes squad, has joined South African state side Natal instead and been put on stand-by for England. Once the Test series starts, England have only one two-day game for players to ﬁnd match sharpness and get used to Australian conditions. “Flying someone in is not ideal – it is a long ﬂight and he will not have been part of the scene,” said Hoggard, who retired from the game at the end of last summer having played 67 Tests and taken more than 1,000 ﬁrst-class wickets. On his last tour Down Under in 2006-07, England were hammered 5-0, but he is conﬁdent there will be no Australian backlash and is still

tipping Alastair Cook’s side to win. “It will be closer than the 3-0 last summer. I expect Australia to win at least one Test, but I will go 2-1 England,” he said. “The Australian seam attack is very good and they will be at home on pitches that will respond to them. We won’t see much turn either for Graeme Swann. “England’s top order struggled against the Australian quicks and with the quality Mitchell Johnson showed in the one-dayers, it suggests they will be even stronger if he returns to the Test side. On his day he is a game-changer. “The series will be decided by which batting unit responds the best. Our top order – Cook, Joe Root and Jonathan Trott – will be out to prove a point and they need to be ready, particularly Cook. A lot of people questioned his batting but they have short memories. He is a quality player and I’m sure he’ll bounce back.” ● MATTHEW HOGGARD was speaking at City Index where he has been the Celebrity Trader, raising money for his chosen charity, the Rainbow Hospice.

Carberry gets an audition

ENGLAND handed Michael Carberry a Test opener’s audition slot here this morning as they batted ﬁrst against Australia A. Carberry’s promotion alongside Alastair Cook comes at the expense of Joe Root, who has been dropped back down the order. The move, which

Novak tames Roger’s fire
Even the fusillade of ﬁreworks booming across the Thames on Guy Fawkes night could scarcely be heard inside the O² Arena as Novak Djokovic made a bonﬁre of Roger Federer’s title hopes. By Bob McKenzie
went on the attack and when he got that early breakthrough he became relentless. The thought that Djokovic had never lost to him after taking the ﬁrst set seemed to creep in. Federer started muttering to himself and that became a chatter of disbelief when he was broken again at 4-1. For the ﬁrst time the crowd quietened. They knew that the match was gone. In this round-robin tournament, Federer will have another chance but the mountain is steeper, the path to a seventh Tour Finals title that much more dangerous. The odds are that it will be Rafael Nadal against Djokovic in Monday’s ﬁnal. “It was very physical,” said Djokovic, who now plays Juan Martin Del Potro tomorrow. “I lost my conﬁdence in the second set and he played better and was making less mistakes. I knew it would be tough.” Federer admitted it was a tough defeat. “But I have to be sure I don’t get too negative on myself because it was Novak I lost to and not some journeyman,” he said. He lost to Djokovic in Saturday’s semi-ﬁnal of the Paris Masters but added: “I am happy with the way I The huge support, which roared every point, could not help Federer who was beaten 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 in 2 hrs 22 mins. But Djokovic had to be at the top of his game to see off a man he says has lost some speed. That may be true and certainly the old consistency that Federer could produce on shots is missing, but it was still another ferocious match, which underlined the status of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Federer dropped the ﬁrst set in 37 minutes but then dug deep to take the second in a 70-minute marathon tiebreak. But that effort in the second appeared to take too much out of him, as he broke Djokovic twice and lost his own serve twice. His opening serve, just when he had brought the crowd to a deafening crescendo, was ripped apart by Djokovic and the effect on the Swiss as he had to climb another hill was clear. Djokovic have recovered since Paris, but I regret not taking chances.” Meanwhile, if Nadal is to top one of the greatest sporting comebacks with his ﬁrst World Tour Finals win, he will have to do it the hard way. The world No 1 was inexplicably drawn to play again this afternoon rather than be given the marquee match tonight. It would have given Nadal an extra six hours recovery time for the match with Stanislas Wawrinka who has had an extra day off since beating Tomas Berdych on Monday afternoon. “I would love to have had an extra day off because I did not have a lot of time to prepare for this tournament,” said Nadal, after a less than taxing 6-3, 6-2 win over David Ferrer. Andy Murray will lead Great Britain into action in San Diego for their World Group match against the United States. Petco Park, a baseball stadium in southern California, is the venue for the tie from January 31 to February 2 and a specially made court is almost certain to be clay. q SerbIa’s Viktor Troicki who was banned for 18 months for missing a doping test, has conceded that his dreams of being a top player are over after a court of arbitration reduced his suspension to a year.

McCormack pride paying off
WITH a name like Steve McCormack, you would think Scotland’s coach might have some ancestral ties to the country he is busy making one of the stories of the World Cup.

coaches and managers without the heritage and think they can’t be passionate about the team. That couldn’t be further from the truth with me – it’s something I take really seriously. “Come match day, when the lads are belting out Flower of Scotland, there is nobody more proud than me to be associated with that.

always have that, even when I am 60 and doing a Q and A at a local rugby club somebody will ask about it.” Warburton regains the captaincy after standing down during last season’s successful Six Nations defence and is one of 11 Lions in the starting line-up. Rhys Priestland returns for the ﬁrst time since last autumn and Ospreys wing Eli Walker makes his debut in place of the injured Alex Cuthbert. Warburton is delighted to resume the leadership duties and believes Wales will be buoyed by the success of the Lions, knowing a southern hemisphere scalp of their own is long overdue. Wales have not faced the Springboks since the World Cup, where they fell to another one-point defeat – and Warburton concedes they are an even tougher proposition now. “I wanted the captaincy back big time. I was having a bit of a dip in conﬁdence but, after the back end of the Six Nations, the summer and the start of this season, I feel I’m the right person to do it,” he said. “To win the series for the Lions was immense. We will take massive conﬁdence from that but, until we beat one of these sides, we can’t call ourselves contenders for the World Cup. “South Africa are better than they were in 2011. But we want a scalp in a Welsh shirt now.” Warburton is set to go head to head with Francois Louw and the Bath ﬂanker is braced for a colossal battle at the breakdown. “Sam attacks the ball well, slows opposition ball down nicely,” said Louw. “He’s deﬁnitely a player that we are going to have to watch. He can be very effective for Wales and a key player for them. “The breakdown is a bit more highly contested over here. We need to do everything we can to make sure we manage the breakdown and control it effectively. “They are coming off the Six Nations, having done very well there, and they are going to want to prove a point, especially against a southernhemisphere side. “We can expect a really good battle. They will be clinical, execute well and it’s going to require a massive effort from our side to compete with that.”

SAM WARBURTON insists he holds no grudges against red-card referee Alain Rolland.
The Irish ofﬁcial will take charge of a match involving the Wales captain for the ﬁrst time since sending him off at the 2011 World Cup. Rolland gave Warburton his marching orders for a tip-tackle on Vincent Clerc after just 18 minutes and Wales went on to a heartbreaking 9-8 semi-ﬁnal defeat against France. The decision made Rolland public enemy No 1 in Wales and he received death threats. Coach Warren Gatland has passed up on the traditional but informal pre-match meeting with Rolland after attending an International Rugby Board tier one coaches’ conference yesterday. But Warburton says there is no bad blood and believes that their shared history will have no

inﬂuence as Wales bid to end a 13-match losing streak against South Africa. He said: “It won’t have any bearing on how I work with the referee. “I met him after the Italy match, where he was a touchjudge, in the last Six Nations and we said hello. “I’ve barely spoken to Alain since the semi-ﬁnal – it’s pretty much been just a handshake. I’ve had next to no contact in two years. “But I’ve no personal issues. If it happened again and I faced the same consequences I would totally understand. As far as the laws go, you have to do it because of health and safety. I look back at the tackle and think my head was on

the wrong side. I used to go in a bit higher but my tackle technique has changed now and I go in much lower, so that will never happen again.” When asked how the Millennium Stadium crowd would react to Rolland, Warburton could not guarantee the same pleasantries. He is still constantly reminded of the incident by the public in rugbymad Wales. He said: “I’ll look forward to it but what the fans think, I’m not sure. The incident feels like such a long time ago, I forget about it until somebody brings it up. “Whether I’m shopping in Sainsbury’s two years later people still shout, ‘It was never a red card’ from across the aisle.

10 of the 37 players. Lock Dave Attwood is the only player from the match squad against the Wallabies discarded from those training in Surrey, a harsh judgment given how glowing Lancaster had been about his cameo four days ago. But Geoff Parling has recovered from last week’s concussion and immediately returns. He, Corbisiero and another staying on, wing Christian Wade, were all

among the Lions in Australia last summer. Against the Pumas’ renowned scrummagers, Corbisiero would probably have returned to the team anyway. “We have named an extended squad as we need a further 24 hours to assess one or two minor niggles,” said Lancaster. “We have reviewed the Australia game and are determined to build on the momentum that victory has given us.”

WILSHERE: Fitness test

Double trouble for Jack
From Tony Paskin in Dortmund
JACK WILSHERE will discover tomorrow whether he has any chance of playing for Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday. If he misses the trip because of an ankle problem, boss Arsene Wenger conﬁrmed he will not be available for England’s friendlies with Chile and Germany. On the eve of Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, Wenger said: “I will know more on Thursday, when he will have another test. “If that is not successful, he will deﬁnitely be out for Sunday. And if he is out for Sunday, then he will be out for England.” Winger Theo Walcott – who has had abdominal surgery – is also ruled out of a return for club and country, with the Chile game coming a week on Friday. Wenger hit back at Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, who bragged about how his players covered 10km more than Wenger’s Arsenal as the Germans won 2-1 at the Emirates. Wenger said: “It is not how much you run, but where you run and how intelligently you run.”

Klopp’s words music to our ears
THE NOISE of Borussia Dortmund’s Yellow Wall of supporters will batter Arsenal tonight.
Their passionate message lauding the powerful qualities of modern German football and the unique style of their coach Jurgen Klopp has already permeated to the heart of the England camp this week. “The team we all admire and a manager we all respect calls his Borussia Way ‘English Football’,” said Gary Neville, a key member of the coaching team backing Roy Hodgson, who names his squad for the next two internationals tomorrow. “Our identity is staring us in the face!” It has been doing so, in fact, since our bedraggled national side suffered the infamous defeat against the Germans in Bloemfontein over three years ago. Now it has been made clear by Neville how closely the England hierarchy identiﬁes with the idea that pace, tempo and drive represent the way forward. It puzzled the nation for years why England’s players lost their fundamental sense of urgency whenever they pulled on their white shirts. The English should have been performing like these Germans all along. Against Moldova and Poland last month, however, Hodgson managed to tune in to the same robust values which inspire both the Premier League

MAKING THEIR MARK: Jurgen Klopp and his men

JOHN DILLON

and the Bundesliga. It took a long time for him to get there, although it has been the challenge of all recent England managers to translate the fervour of the Premier League into something just as imposing on the international scene. The Germany side which heads to Wembley on November 19 will provide a far sterner test than either of those two World Cup qualifying opponents, or Chile, who England face next week. But, for now, there is renewed hope that England might do a little more than just make up the numbers in Brazil next year. More immediately, in Westphalia this evening there will be another exhibition from Dortmund of the purpose and bravery inherent in their brand of the game, which offers far more of substance to the English game than any pointless ﬂirtation with Spanish tiki-taka would ever have. Dortmund are the team who run and run and run, whether they have the ball or not. Out of possession, they swarm all over the pitch to cover space and close down opponents. With it, they turn on a classy, high-speed, technically sound and sharp brand of what is nowadays known as ‘transition

football’, meaning they can turn defence into attack very quickly. It is a style which lit up London twice this year – when Dortmund beat Arsenal 2-1 in a furiously engaging Champions League game at the Emirates two weeks ago, and at Wembley in May’s Champions League ﬁnal, when they were beaten by Bayern Munich’s own version of the surging, sweeping German style. The comment from Klopp which so animated Neville came in an interview

with a group of English reporters at the weekend. “I don’t like winning with 80 per cent of possession,” he said. “Sorry, that is not enough for me. Fighting football, not serenity football, that is what I like. “What we call in German ‘English’ – rainy day, heavy pitch, 5-5, everybody is dirty in the face and goes home and cannot play for the next four weeks.” What he does is far more sophisticated, of course. As is the English game, despite its many detractors. But Klopp likes to talk expressively. His ideas certainly engaged Neville, who further Tweeted: “Arsenal 98/ Utd 99/ Chelsea 05/ BD 13! Fast high-tempo/ quick-transition football played by players with talent that work their backsides off!” Then he added: “Signs against Brazil at Wembley/ Montenegro/ Poland that we can play that way! Just need to do it consistently.” The irony is that Dortmund collide with Arsene Wenger’s side just as he has retuned his own idea of the clever, intricate way the game should be played to produce some of Arsenal’s best football for years this season. “An orchestra,” Klopp calls them. England will never make the kind of music sometimes summoned up at the Emirates. In Dortmund tonight, though, they may see and hear the way forward, blasted out by 80,000 yellow-clad devotees of Klopp, the coach who says he prefers heavy metal to the sound of violins, anyway.

Cahill has it all to prove again
TONY BANKS
EXCLUSIVE
GARY CAHILL says he is having to prove himself as a player all over again.
The return of Jose Mourinho to Chelsea in the summer ﬁlled some of the players with nerves – and Cahill admits he was one. Mourinho had, after all, won back-to-back titles in an extraordinary ﬁrst spell at the club, won the Champions League with two different clubs and won titles in four countries. When he arrived, Cahill was an England defender who had played all his career in the top ﬂight. Experienced, at the peak of his career, but still... “Do you feel you have to prove yourself all over again? For sure,” said Cahill yesterday, before adding with a grin: “Since I have been here I have had to do that a couple of times. “Everyone here is a top player, an international player. But everyone has a different opinion. You just hope that you have done enough to show that you are the new manager’s type. “The nervy thing for all players is that everyone has different opinions. For one person you might be their cup of tea, for the next it might be, ‘No, I want to go with this’.” Fortunately for Cahill, Mourinho likes and trusts him – though the centre-back still ﬁnds himself missing games as the squad is rotated. The former Aston Villa and Bolton defender, who is set to win his 22nd and 23rd caps for his country in the upcoming friendlies against Chile and Germany, said: “Before the boss came I asked the lads who were here before, ‘What’s he like?’ They were all

glowing reports. I know the boss showed a lot of faith in those players. But even players who have left the club said he was a class manager. So you get excited. “Jose obviously has authority amongst big players, which is important. There is real depth in his training sessions. “Every session is different. He prepares them in relation to who we are playing. It has been good and interesting to work under someone who has done so much.” Mourinho’s skills as a motivator have also hit home for Cahill. “He knows how we can turn the game around. A lot of the time that does get a positive reaction,” he said. Those motivational skills did not serve a furious Mourinho so well at Newcastle on Saturday, where his team crashed to their second league defeat of the season. There will almost certainly be changes tonight as Chelsea face Schalke at Stamford Bridge in a Champions League Group E clash in which victory will put them within touching distance of the knockout stages. Cahill was on the bench at Newcastle, but he saw the anger at ﬁrst hand. “If you don’t produce, he is going to be disappointed, just as you are as individuals,” said Cahill. “He has his say – and sometimes it will be telling people a few truths.” Sitting on the bench is not where Cahill wants to be in World Cup year and he admits he is not a good spectator. “Everyone wants to play, but you are in it as a team,” he said. “With the amount of games there is going to be rotation. That’s OK as long as it is rotation. “I’m not a good watcher – “I’m probably one of the worst. But for England and Chelsea I have played 14 games and had nine clean sheets, so I’m happy with my form. You should be focusing ﬁrst on Chelsea and worrying about the summer later. You are a professional. The manager makes decisions.” ● GARY CAHILL is wearing the new Predator football boots, part of the adidas Samba Collection inspired by Brazil.

O’Neill and Keane sign
By Chris McKenna

LEAVING IT TO THE MANAGER: Chelsea must always come ﬁrst says England defender Gary Cahill

MARTIN O’NEILL launched his Ireland reign with Roy Keane by saying: “I’m the bad cop and I think he’s the bad, bad cop.” O’Neill and his new assistant Keane last night put pen to paper on two-year deals to take charge of the Republic of Ireland. The pair were on duty as ITV pundits at Manchester United’s clash with Real Sociedad and Keane said: “It’s fantastic news. I’m honoured that Martin has asked me to come and help him with the team.” Asked why he had chosen Keane, O’Neill said jokingly: “I’ve asked myself that many a time over the last 48 hours. “He’s coming with me. Personally speaking, I think he’ll be great for me, but more importantly he’ll be great for the Republic of Ireland.” Former Sunderland boss O’Neill, 61, replaces Giovanni Trapattoni, who failed to take Ireland to next year’s World Cup. Keane has been out of management since leaving Ipswich in 2011

and fell out with the Football Association of Ireland in 2002 at a pre-World Cup camp in Saipan. FAI boss John Delaney says he has cleared the air with former Manchester United midﬁelder Keane, who walked out after a bitter row with then manager Mick McCarthy. He was further angered by the FAI’s lack of support and poor organisation for the country’s ﬁrst appearance at a World Cup in eight years. However, Delaney said: “Roy and I met last week and there were no problems.” Irish businessman Denis O’Brien has again stumped up funding for part of the £1.7million package, having helped to pay for Trapattoni’s ﬁve-year tenure. ❑ MICHAEL O’NEILL has agreed a two-year extension to his contract as Northern Ireland manager which will keep him in charge for the Euro 2016 qualiﬁers.

CLINICAL STRIKE: Sergio Aguero, after scoring from the penalty spot, puts City 2-0 up with a sublime shot

Young the fall guy again as
FROM BACK PAGE and he’s been heavily criticised in England. “But of course we’re playing in a foreign country and it’s almost more acceptable. But I think he’s conned the referee.” Another former United star, Ray Wilkins, also slammed Young. He said: “This is pathetic. I just wish Ashley would cut this out because he’s a good player but he’s getting a bad name.” The result leaves the group wide open and United still facing a ﬁght to reach the knockout stages. To make matters worse for manager Moyes, he saw Fellaini sent off in the 90th minute for two bookable offences, while Javier Hernandez missed a glorious chance. But the focus was on Young after he fell over like he had been shot following a challenge from Markel Bergara after 68 minutes. Van Persie stepped up and struck it well, but was left stunned when Real Sociedad goalkeeper Claudio Bravo produced a superb save to push the shot on to the post. Young has a reputation for going down too easily and was warned about it by Moyes earlier this season following United’s home win over Crystal Palace. But Moyes backed Young last night. He said: “The boy tugs him in the box. The referee is two yards away from it and decides to give it. I don’t know about his reputation, but the referee is there and he gave it. “He’s the one who saw ﬁt to award a penalty and send a player [Fellaini] off. That was the referee’s choice.” Hernandez blazed over the bar from just six yards on 50 minutes before Moyes’ night went from bad to worse. He hauled off Hernandez and Wayne Rooney in a double substitution that saw Van Persie and Young thrown into the action. A point is not a disaster for United, but Moyes will know this was a great chance to take total control of Group A and put one foot in the last 16. But he only had to look at the history books to realise how he should not have taken anything for granted when United are in this part of the world. Spain has not been a happy hunting ground for United down the years, with even Sir Alex Ferguson struggling to make an impression – just two wins in 16 attempts. Moyes made six ***

CARBON COPY: Negredo taps in his second goal

Pellegrini vow
FROM BACK PAGE allowed City to progress into the last 16 of the competition after two successive years of high-proﬁle failure under Pellegrini’s predecessor, Roberto Mancini. And boss Pellegrini believes City will be one of the heavyweights their rivals will look to avoid as he hailed a landmark day for the club. “We can beat any side now, when we play at our best,” said Pellegrini. “But at this level the most important teams can also beat us. “The most important teams in Italy, Spain and France are competitive but we have a strong squad and we will see where we go now. “Whichever team are drawn against us, I can assure you they will not be very happy. “We are very, very happy because this is an achievement in the history of the club.” City captain Yaya Toure said: “I hope we are going to go far this year.”

United pay penalty
changes to his starting line-up and left out rising star Adnan Januzaj altogether, perhaps with Arsenal on Sunday in mind. Back came Fellaini and Hernandez was preferred in attack to Van Persie and rewarded for his recent run of good form, while Ryan Giggs returned to make his 950th appearance for United. Patrice Evra and Rooney combined well down the left ﬂank, with the England star ﬂicking a clever pass into the path of Shinji Kagawa, but his instant shot deﬂected just wide. United threatened again *** moments later and it took a crucial challenge from Alberto de la Bella to stop Antonio Valencia. Rooney was struggling to make an impact and he took out his frustration on Inigo Martinez with a wild hack at the defender on 26 minutes. He was lucky not to be booked. Sociedad had their moments and Imanol Agirretxe wasted a half-chance when he shot wide. But Hernandez missed the best chance of all on 50 minutes. Kagawa set up the opening but the Mexican scooped his shot over from six yards. It was that sort of night for United.
REAL SOCIEDAD (4-4-2): Bravo; Carlos Martinez, Mikel Gonzalez, Martinez, De la Bella; Pardo (Prieto 72), Bergara, Zurutuza, Vela; Agirretxe (Castro 63), Griezmann (Seferovic 79). Booked: Bergara.

Bale is Real star again
GARETH BALE scored his ﬁrst Champions League goal for Real Madrid but it was not enough for victory in a 2-2 draw at Juventus. Bale struck in the 60th minute to put Real 2-1 ahead, driving in from the edge of the area after Cristiano Ronaldo had touched the ball on. It was a lead that lasted only ﬁve minutes as Fernando Llorente brought Juventus back. Arturo Vidal’s 42nd-minute penalty had put Juventus ahead before Ronaldo equalised seven minutes after the re-start.

Fears for fans in Rio
By John Dillon
BRAZIL’S World Cup build-up was thrown into chaos last night after the cancellation of a major football conference in Rio de Janeiro because of the continuing civil unrest in the country. The abandonment of the SoccerEx forum was made just minutes before former Brazil striker Ronaldo arrived at a prestige PR event in London aimed at trumpeting the merits of staging the tournament in Rio next year. It raised fresh fears about the safety of fans attending the World Cup. And it increased the prospect that the tournament may take place amid the same mass protests and street violence that marred the Confederations Cup this summer. Anti-Government demonstrations in recent months have been sparked by the huge expenditure lavished on building new stadiums – ordered by FIFA – and against increasing transport prices and the rising cost of living. England boss Roy Hodgson was due to attend SoccerEx at the Maracana Stadium from November 30 until December 5. Rio authorities claimed the cancellation was due to funding issues.
