Happily the situation has been remedied and Mthings are back on track but, if you are in contention for an International place, please take notice of a number of pieces of information contained in this edition. Likewise, if you are a Junior, or concerned with the training/development of Juniors in any way please have a very careful read of the Junior Pages. The new Junior Co-ordinators, Dave and Eileen Woodhead, together with Steve Fletcher and Chris Knox, have set about their task with enormous enthusiasm and industry but the upheaval has meant that the dates, times and venues of many of the major events in the Junior calendar have had to be altered. If, even after reading all the information, you're still a bit vague as to whether you’re affected or not then please give Dave or Eileen a ring and they will, in their inimitably efficient fashion, make sure you know what’s what!! I read with a great deal of dismay a recent article in the “Guardian”, which had as its subject the regrettable closing-down of many Riding Schools simply because there are now only two insurance companies prepared to insure them and their premiums are rapidly going through the roof. And why is this? Because of the escalating number of people (often, but not exclusively parents) who insist on suing the Schools for dislocations, breaks, cuts, bumps, and, believe it or not, stress caused by falling off the horses they Editorial Team were riding, despite the fact that it was their own choice to get on the beasts Contents Access & E n v iro n m e n t in the first place!!

    IRAQ Reckoning_Template.qxd 04/08/2016 12:35 Page 63 IRAQ – The Reckoning ‘the fatuous irony of millions of liberal­minded people taking to the streets, effectively to defend the most illiberal regime on earth’ Blair to Bush, 26 March 2003 IRAQ Reckoning_Template.qxd 04/08/2016 14:33 Page 64 64 Star Wars starts wars The voluminous and long­overdue report of the Iraq Inquiry, prepared by Sir John Chilcot, was finally published in July 2016. Pressure from families of service personnel killed in Iraq eventually hastened the protracted process, which commenced in 2009, six years after the invasion of Iraq led by the United States with prominent UK support. The illegal war on Iraq was always about much more than the prime actors, but Tony Blair’s impatience to oust Saddam and wilful ignorance about the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq leap from his correspondence with President Bush, compiled from the Chilcot Report and reprinted here. Charged with ‘learning the lessons’ of the misadventure in Iraq, the UK has gone to war in Libya and Syria while the report of the Iraq Inquiry was under preparation. Notable and informed critics of the war, such as Dr Brian Jones, formerly of Defence Intelligence Staff, have died before having a chance to see whether all their efforts to expose the fixing of intelligence in the UK proved worth while. Reg Keys, whose son, Tom, age 20 years, was one of six Military Police killed in southern Iraq in June 2003, has consistently campaigned for justice for those who died in this unnecessary war.
  • People, Places and Policy

    People, Places and Policy

    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

    Iraq Rage Drives Family Furies That Will Harry Blair at the Ballot Box | the Times

    14/05/2015 Iraq rage drives family furies that will harry Blair at the ballot box | The Times Share via Iraq rage drives family furies that will harry Blair at the ballot box By Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, April 26 2005 In key constituencies across the country the casualties of war are making sure that they are heard THIS is about rage. Incandescent anger. The kind of finger­curling, jaw­tightening fury that happens to everyone at least once in their lifetime. As Rose Gentle put it: “You get so angry that you can’t see straight. You get so angry that nothing else matters. The rage stops you from grieving for your dead son.” The election, once pungent with the odour of familiarity has, in a number of constituencies, turned into a boxing match with a host of alternative and independent candidates launching a jeremiad against key ministerial constituencies. In seats such as East Kilbride, Strathaven & Lesmahagow Birmingham Hodge Hill and Sedgefield, Labour Party workers, fearful of being shouted at, keep a low profile from anti­war candidates. “Tony Blair lied, my son died,” shouted Rose Gentle, 40, campaigning in East Kilbride, a blighted new town outside Glasgow, seemingly cursed by cold weather, where she is challenging Adam Ingram, the Armed Forces Minister. As wind and rain whistled through wide avenues, Mrs Gentle, whose son Gordon, 19, died in Iraq last summer while serving with the Royal Highland Fusiliers, dropped leaflets door­to­door accompanied by supporters. “I just take it day by day,” she said, rubbing her hands together.

It would not have been an area which would have detained many lawyers who trained at this Law School, at least in their day-to-day practice. When I was invited to give this year’s Melbourne Law School Alumni lecture, late in 2004, issues of international law were already much in the air, certainly in Britain, and also in Australia. The Convention relating to the Status of Refugees,1 the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change2 and the legality of the war in Iraq are issues that were receiving considerable attention. But I doubt that anyone could have imagined that the run-up to Britain’s May 2005 General Election would be defined by arcane issues of international law: did the authorisation to use force against Iraq under Security Council Resolution 6783 of 1991 revive in March 2003?

Mountain Rescue in England was in its formative years, there was no team for miles and no routines or protocols for calling one in to help. I believe this incident provided the final push for two teams to be formed in the county. Jim McVeigh and Peter Williams gathered together a number of people to form South Ribble Fell Search and Rescue Team, based at Cop Lane in Penwortham, Preston. The team remained at this location for most of their existence. In contrast, Ross Drysdale believed there was a need for a wider co-ordinating role, an umbrella agency, with contacts and units across Lancashire, Yorkshire and beyond, able to call upon others with specific skills; Raynet with radio communications, North West Fell and Mountaineering First Aid Unit etc, and deploy them as each incident dictates. The name of this new group reflected his aspiration, Northern Rescue Organisation (NRO) with Ross as its organiser. Attempts were made as early as 1973 to form closer ties between the two teams but these did not develop.
