Why such a public malaise on migration?
It's little wonder we in the UK seem to feel so much concern over immigration. It's not – generally – the migrants themselves who trouble such a tolerant nation, but the state's inability to grow infrastructure to keep up with population growth.
"No one told the supermarkets," writes Fraser Nelson, "that there would be 4 million more mouths to feed since the turn of the century, but we haven't run out of food." But ministers "have struggled to provide the school places and the doctors clinics for all those who arrived."
"It's time to stop treating high immigration as a constantly-surprising blip."
We need to better understand why immigration troubles people – typically (but not only) working class people of the left and right. It's very often not xenophobia. People don't blame migrants for immigration any more than we blame the water for an incoming tide. But when the state (at national or local level) fails to meet the infrastructure needs of the nation we shouldn't be surprised so many voters want to turn off the population tap. Clearly that impacts our attitude to immigration and by extension our attitude to the EU, and (quite separately) the refugee crisis.
There is a public malaise on migration. Successive governments should reflect upon why they might be largely responsible for that.
Update: We've just learned that Rochdale's Gillian Duffy has left the Labour Party and plans to vote Brexit in the forthcoming referendum.
Mrs Duffy rose to fame during the 2010 general election. Gordon Brown infamously described her as "just a sort of bigoted woman" after chatting to her on the campaign trail about (amongst other things) immigration from eastern Europe. I had her in mind as I wrote this blog post.
What reading to do on Brexit?
A few of you have been wondering where to find some decent impartial material on the merits or otherwise of us leaving the European Union. This is tough, because the facts which are uncontested by both sides tend to be so mundane as to be essentially worthless (eg How many nations are in the EU? How does QMV work? Who is the President of the European Commission). Other facts, while incontrovertibly true, may be contested by one side or the other because they are devoid of context and in isolation they might conceal a more important truth. Or perhaps one selection of facts favours one side of the argument more than the other.
It's quite reasonable for each side in the debate to favour those facts which sell their case best, and therefore to take issue with a supposedly 'impartial' presentation which offers up only the others. Consider, for example the Government's pro-EU leaflet: Why the Government believes that voting to remain in the European Union is the best decision for the UK. That document (as you might expect) is a demonstratively selective presentation of the facts and various media organisations have enjoyed dissecting them for closer inspection – see Full Fact here, for example.
In this debate 'truth' is absolutely crucial, but 'facts' are often easier to pin down. Truth is subjective. It depends upon a blend of objective facts and a context built through someone's human fallibility.
To anyone who will listen, I am recommending this book by David Charter – Europe: In or Out? It lays out a broad explanation of the main arguments for and against, and explores the facts and (in some cases) myths presented by both sides.
Perhaps you won't have time for a whole book. This BBC News Q&A provides an excellent exploration of many of the key questions.
But the arguments are important too. It is not enough, in my view, to understand the facts and truth alone. We need to hear why some truths matter more than others. So for me it is valuable to listen to a variety of voices and to read sincerely biased blogs from folks on both sides of the argument. Some of the most interesting/persuasive voices on the subject include Alan Johnson MP, Nick Clegg MP, Fraser Nelson (all remain supporters), Dan Hannan MEP, Steve Baker MP & Kate Hoey MP (all leave supporters).
A few days ago, The Spectator hosted a debate on the subject with three speakers on each side (including some of those above). This write-up (£) includes some detailed commentary on the debate along with audio from each of the participants' opening speeches. It's well worth 30 minutes of your time. NB Use an incognito browser if you don't have a Spectator subscription.
The Spectator debate (hosted at the London Palladium, with a 2200 audience) concluded with a narrow victory for the 'leave' side. In mitigation, perhaps a Spectator audience would lean that way(?) even though its editor Fraser Nelson is a 'remain' supporter.
If reduced to its technical complexities, this is a tremendously difficult decision. There are so many facts and competing truths, along with a few lies too. But this is not just a technocratic decision, or it would have been left to our civil servants – and certainly not to us. It is about our hearts and our vision for this nation. Do we feel more British or more European? Is our European identity best met through the EU? Is our engagement with the world best delivered through the EU or independently? Is our future as an independent nation better understood through risks or opportunities? Are there more risks or opportunities if we stay in the EU? Do we have a responsibility to our European neighbours (or to the USA), and is that best met through the EU or not?
Most of us have a fairly clear view of whether we should be in or out. A significant proportion of us will remain undecided well into June. But our views are no less important. Indeed for those of us still struggling to decide, we have a responsibility to get there. Too many of our neighbours reached their conclusion on gut alone.
This decision deserves whatever agonising you need to do!
Addendum, from a specifically Christian perspective.
Theologian Ian Paul offers these thoughts on the dichotomy between "It hurts to go away," and "It's impossible to stay."
And if you pray, consider this:
Saudi Arabia's anti-terrorism alliance raises more questions than it answers
Saudi Arabia's 34-nation Islamic military alliance against terrorism includes some nations who learned of their apparent involvement through news reports. Others (such as Uganda and Gabon) are Christian-majority nations. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and (the world's most populated Muslim nation) Indonesia aren't involved.
Iran and Iraq are both Shia-majority nations, unlike the rest of the Islamic world. While that seems to explain their lack of involvement, it doesn't excuse any arrangement which excludes them, particularly when so much terror in the region is sectarian in nature (Sunni vs Shia).
How Saudi Arabia defines terrorism is critical. Atheism and any views critical of Saudi Arabia's government or Wahhabi ideology might be classed as terrorism.
Within the territory of the so-called Islamic State, it's hard to see what Daesh activity might be understood as terrorism. There is considerable overlap in domestic policy between Daesh and Saudi Arabia. It seems to me they are more rivals than enemies. One sees itself as the new caliphate, the other is Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
It seems to me that a united Arab response to terrorism in the Middle East would be A Good Thing. Saudi Arabia's solution raises more questions than it answers and I fear it would pose more fresh problems than it would solve.
The reported members of the alliance: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Palestinians, Qatar, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
A momentous day for Labour
Update (at 1406 on 30 Nov): The Guardian reports that Jeremy Corbyn will give his MPs a free vote on the question of airstrikes over Syria. The commentary I posted below about the wider context stands, though obviously the central question has now been answered. It does give us some insight into Mr Corbyn's leadership strategy and the extent to which he wishes to hold the party together:
Today Jeremy Corbyn and his Shadow Cabinet will wrestle with the thorny question of whether to impose a three-line whip on Labour MPs over airstrikes in Syria.
Inevitably Mr Corbyn is against military action (as he has been against wars in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and elsewhere). It seems that most of the Shadow Cabinet are in favour of the proposed airstrikes, along with a significant minority of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
They could hold a free vote, allowing all Labour MPs to vote with their conscience.
Or they could whip the matter. There seems to be some confusion over whether (under Labour rules) a whipping decision lies in the hands of the Leader or the wider Shadow Cabinet.
If that authority lies with the Shadow Cabinet, and they decide to impose a whip in line with the judgement of the Shadow Cabinet (ie in favour of airstrikes), then Mr Corbyn would be placed under the absurd obligation to decide whether to fall in line (against his conscience) or resign from his own Shadow Cabinet. I think it is untenable that they would put Mr Corbyn in this position (elected as he was so recently and with with such a large mandate). Were they to do so, rather than resign, Mr Corbyn would have little option but disband his Shadow Cabinet and start again.
But Mr Corbyn is himself assuming the authority, as leader, on whether to whip his party. If he is able to do so, Shadow Cabinet members must either fall in line or resign. There is potential for multiple resignations if shadow ministers conclude they cannot back the leader who has rebelled against his own party 533 times since 1997.
Given Mr Corbyn's own voting record, many MPs may feel they are not meaningfully bound by a three-line whip imposed by him.
The Government has a tiny parliamentary majority and there are a number of Conservative rebels – it could easily be defeated by a united opposition. But Labour is not united. There is every chance the Government could win a vote on its motion regardless of whether Labour grants a free vote or not.
Thus far, the Defence Secretary has played down the Government's prospects of success, while he and others have been working to persuade Labour MPs one by one to support the Government motion. The Prime Minister does not want egg on his face, given fresh memories of his parliamentary knockdown on Syria in 2013.
Depending on how this plays out, this could be one of the most momentous weeks in the modern history of the Labour Party. In my view, the impact on the integrity of the party could be even greater than that of Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader in September. However he proceeds, this will be a key factor in his decision.
Spectre – less than the sum of its parts
I dressed up in black tie (as I always do) and went off to see the latest Bond movie on its opening night. Unable to blag tickets to the premiere, I crammed into the Odeon on Tottenham Court Road with Vanessa and a few other friends and sat back with great hope and expectation.
Here was my preview of Spectre.
Beware – ahead there be spoilers.
I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't love it. I felt positive after the final credits rolled, but on a little more reflection, I find myself a bit disappointed. I think it's up there among the better third of Bond movies – while some of the action sequences are brilliant, they are let down by the way they're pulled together. Sadly, against the consensus of many critics, I feel the final product is less than the sum of its parts.
I knew before I stepped into the cinema we would see the return of the gun barrel opener, back in its rightful place for the first time since Pierce Brosnan's disappointing final outing, Die Another Day. I explained in my preview that its absence in recent movies "was excusable in Casino Royale, less so in Quantum of Solace, and a real let-down at the top of Skyfall." There is, at least, an editorial reason why it was absent from Casino Royale, as that opens before Bond earns his 00-status.
I recently learned that Sam Mendes intended to include it at the beginning of Skyfall, but…
"…the film starts with Bond walking down a corridor towards camera and lifting a gun. And of course the gun barrel is him walking, stopping and lifting a gun. When I put the two together, it looked ridiculous!"
(Sam Mendes, speaking in 2012)
Maybe so, but if it was so ill-planned at the storyboard stage it should have been reworked.
I can't fault the way Spectre opens. The gun barrel sequence is there and it gives way to a stunning Dia de los Muertos street party in Mexico City. It's a five-minute apparently cut-free tracking sequence following Bond and his partner through the crowds as he makes his way towards his first kill. From the collapse of two buildings, including Bond's comic landing on a sofa to the amazing helicopter aerial stunts and then the credit sequence scored by Sam Smith, it is spot on.
Bond is given a proper dressing down by the brilliant new M, Ralph Fiennes, who takes him off duty (ironically giving him the freedom to get on with his work). Q (Ben Whishaw) helps him 'disappear', and off we go!
So far, so good.
The main actors perform well. Bond, M & Q are expertly played. The appearance of Miss Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) is all too short. Monica Belluci, Léa Seydoux, Christoph Waltz and Dave Bautista are all brilliant in their respective roles. It's great to see a kick-ass henchman as portrayed through Mr Hinx (Bautista) that harks back to an earlier era. I'm less convinced by Max Denbigh in the role of C – too young and a little too obviously shaken when Bond throws a verbal dig.
As the main villain, Christope Waltz is excellent, bringing all his Oscar-winning talent to bear. But his character, be it Franz Oberhauser or Ernst Stavro Blofeld, is pathetic, psychologically incapable of running a global criminal conglomeration without distracting himself by needling an unwelcome foster brother from his childhood, decades on.
I loved the Spectre boardroom scene – a great way to introduce Oberhauser, and the terrifying Mr Hinx. It neatly brings Oberhauser and Bond face to face (from a distance) for the first time on screen. The Spectre organisation is established as a force to be reckoned with.
But outside the boardroom, it would appear to fall short of its promise.
Towards the end, Oberhauser operates from a small complex of buildings in north Africa inside a meteor crater. It's a throwback to You Only Live Twice, but a pale imitation of that Blofeld's volcano lair. I also prefer the Piz Gloria venue in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and the oil rig in Diamonds Are Forever. I certainly preferred Raoul Silva's deserted island in Skyfall.
The journey – by luxury train and a vintage Rolls Royce – was considerably better than the destination, perhaps more so for the viewer than for Bond, given his tussle with Mr Hinx. Though there is a payoff for Bond after the fight.
At the meteor lair, Oberhauser (now revealed as Blofeld) conducts a strange torture scene with Bond as his subject. The objective is ill-explained and the method is faulty. Blofeld operates as the torture technician – can't he instruct a minion to do this for him? Ultimately, whatever he was trying to do fails and with Bond essentially incapacitated throughout, it makes Blofeld look like a fool – not a good look. And Bond's escape with Madeleine Swann seems remarkably straightforward.
The final showdown in central London takes place across two locations, with parallel showdowns between Blofeld and Bond at the derelict MI6 headquarters, while M & Q face C at the latter's new office. It's good to see M & Q at the heart of the action, as we've seen now and again before, most notably in Octopussy, The World is Not Enough and Skyfall. While all the elements are fairly strong, the two scenarios unfolding concurrently don't work as well as they could. They interlock weakly and the suspense is unnecessarily diluted.
Finally escaping MI6 HQ, Bond (with Swann) bursts onto the Thames in a speedboat and chases Blofeld's helicopter downriver, somehow shooting it down with his Walther PPK. I don't doubt that this might be mathematically possible, but it seems improbable and a little too convenient at this stage in the narrative.
He should have been allowed to escape.
Moments later, standing over his injured nemesis, Bond predictably – and rightly – spares his life, reminding us of a line from M much earlier in the film, in which he declares that a licence to kill is also "a licence not to kill". So instead of being killed off, Blofeld is arrested by M, while Bond walks off into the night with Dr Swann.
In his previous incarnation, Blofeld was such a key figure in the James Bond universe, it would have been a travesty to see him killed off in Spectre. In the past he was played by Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas and Charles Gray. They brought such different portrayals to the role it was downright weird.
Spectre the film and Spectre the crime syndicate were both a letdown to me, because they fell so far short of their immense promise. But the film has some decent nostalgic value: an exploding watch, an Aston Martin with a built-in ejector seat, a deadly fight on a posh train, Blofeld's white cat and – my favourite – the scar on his face, clearly a nod to You Only Live Twice.
I'm keen to see more. The wider Spectre saga can be rescued. It would be implausible for the organisation depicted in Rome to have been brought to its knees so easily, despite Blofeld's flaws. Let us see the tentacles of a truly powerful Spectre, headed as before by Christoph Waltz as Blofeld. Perhaps the pre-credit sequence could show the super-villain's prison escape? Or a courtroom breakout at the point of sentencing?
But if Waltz is back as Blofeld, then Craig must come back as Bond. He said he'd "rather slash my wrists" than play Bond a fifth time, but I pray that's attention-seeking self-indulgence.
Let's have an encore Mr Craig.
Movember 2015
Movember is upon us – that month of the year wedged between October and December, when hundreds of thousands of men across the world seek to grow a moustache in aid of men's health.
At the time of writing, 35,812 men in the UK have registered to take part – including me for the second time.
The first time was while I was living in Geneva in 2011 – more on the story here. My Dad had been given a dire prognosis for aggressive prostate cancer earlier that year. "You've got four years," said his consultant, rather bluntly and without being asked.
We were shocked and upset. My understanding is that the proffered time-frame factored in the impact of treatment. But after surgery and a course of radiotherapy, the cancer went into remission and – though it needs regular monitoring – it is not an active threat.
We are four years on from my first Movember and so we can now say – officially – the consultant was pessimistic (or optimistic, depending on how much he wanted to see the back of his patient.)
So far, so good.
But prostate cancer is still with us. The Movember Foundation says:
- 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
- Every hour one man dies from prostate cancer in the UK.
- Each year over 42,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK.
Now the Movember focus on men's health seems to be more holistic than in the past. The foundation bemoans the fact that "on average, across the world, men die 6 years earlier than women." In addition to the threat of prostate and testicular cancer, the World Health Organisation estimates that 510,000 men take their own lives every year. That's more than one every minute.
There is much work to be done.
My Movember page is here. Please give generously!

Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said today he sees no need for any international hedge fund regulation, an issue likely to be on the table when the G-7 meets later this month and the G-8 convenes in June.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has used her country's presidency of the G-8 to push for some sort of international regulatory cooperation on hedge funds, if not outright multilateral regulation. But Flaherty said of his German counterparts, "we don't share their enthusiasm."
"There's less concern in North America than in some parts of Europe about hedge funds," he told Reuters. "It's really a transparency issue. I know there is some concern in some quarters about the perceived lack of transparency and a desire to regulate. It's probably not achievable by particular countries."
Flaherty, who made the comments in London, posits that greater familiarity with hedge funds is the reason that his country, the U.S. and the U.K., the latter pair by far the largest hedge fund centers in the world, are more reticent about strict international regulation.
"We have more comfort in North America based on our experience with hedge fund transparency," he said. "We are more used to them."
Ottawa may not be pushing for strict international oversight, but strict domestic rules are on the horizon for Canada's US$23 billion hedge fund industry. In February, the country's 13 provincial and territorial securities regulators—Canada has no national equivalent of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission—announced that hedge funds are to be as tightly regulated as the country's mutual funds. Under the proposed rules, hedge funds will be required to register with their provincial regulator and will be added to a national registry. In addition, hedge fund managers will have to take proficiency tests and pass a background check to be licensed to manage money.

Amazon Kindle For PC App Released, But Color Kindle Is Unlikely
Amazon.com generally released the beta version of its Kindle for PC application, which will display e-books on a Windows PC, on Nov. 10. Originally debuted during the Windows 7 launch in New York City on Oct. 22, the application will sync with users' Kindle devices. Although some media reports are suggesting a color Kindle could be coming soon, CEO Jeff Bezos has previously dismissed such a device as a long time away.Amazon.com has released its Kindle for PC application in Beta, allowing users to download over 360,000 volumes onto PCs running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. A Mac version is coming soon, according to Amazon.com's download page.
Microsoft and Amazon.com originally announced Kindle for PC during the Oct. 22 launch of Windows 7. After a presentation headlined by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, reporters and analysts were led to a separate exhibition area with touch-screen PCs running the application. By swiping or pinching their fingers across the screen, users could flip through digital pages, zoom in on selections of text, or navigate through a library of stored volumes.
Those PCs running the application during the Microsoft event displayed sample books' illustrations in color. That fact, in combination with Amazon.com's banner ad for the application showing a color page from Winnie the Pooh, has led a handful of media outlets to suggest that a color Kindle could be in development.
The Kindle PC application will use Whispersync to sync bookmarks, notes and the last-page-read with the Kindle device. Amazon.com already has an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows users to access their books on those devices. Amazon.com faces increased competition on a number of fronts in the e-reader space, most notably from Barnes & Noble, which announced its own e-reader, the Nook, on Oct. 20. In addition to promoting the device through its bricks-and-mortar storefronts, Barnes & Noble is also offering e-reader functionality through an iPhone/iPod Touch app. Barnes & Noble's e-bookstore, launched in July, currently holds over 700,000 volumes along with 500,000 free public-domain books from Google.
On Nov. 9, Barnes & Noble announced that demand for the Nook had forced it to push back the shipping date for some pre-orders from the end of November into the beginning of December. A spokesperson told eWEEK that the "Nook has quickly become the fastest selling product at Barnes & Noble," and that new pre-orders would ship on Dec. 11. Amazon.com has lowered the price of its original Kindle device to $259, same as the Nook. The larger-screen Kindle DX, which faces no substantial competition as yet, remains priced at $489. However, Barnes & Noble faces a few challenges of its own. On Nov. 2, small IT startup Spring Design announced that it was suing the bookseller, alleging that much of the Nook's functionality had been copied from its own upcoming Alex e-reader. Both devices feature a dual-screen form factor, with an e-ink display paired with a color LCD touch-screen.

Three days on, I'm still waiting for the comedown. On Monday, I ran my first marathon, beat my target by nine minutes and have now caught the bug. The high of crossing the finish line, after months of aching and training, is a feeling I want to experience again and again. But while I did my best to prepare physically, one thing I didn't bargain for were the tears. Every fibre of my being was screaming to stop this cruel punishment but the overwhelming sense of achievement at the end had a profound effect: for several minutes afterwards, I sat in a heap on a footpath and cried.
It may seem a tad dramatic to the uninitiated but the effort put in during months of training, including a failed attempt at making it to the start line in Paris due to niggling ITB pain, was all suddenly worthwhile. My eyes welled up, I couldn't help myself, but I was by no means the only one.
Building mileage up in the depths of winter, running into a harsh wind and horizontal rain along the Thames seemed miles away on the warm June morning in Cork. It helped that it was my hometown event, the course was familiar and I had family dotted around at various stages – but the satisfaction, that incredible sense of achievement at the end, is still sending a tingle up my spine.
Building-up to the race, I was tetchy, irritable and a right pain to be around, but once the starting gun went off and I began the journey, it didn't take long for me to get into my stride. In hindsight, I probably started off too slowly in an attempt to conserve energy – all part of the learning process. For a first-timer, the camaraderie was something to behold and perhaps added to the emotional impact. From the first mile on, there were people willing each other on. I trained alone from start to finish but there was a sense of convivial unity among fellow runners that made the experience all the more special.
Somehow, when a volunteer told me at mile 24 that I was on track for breaking four hours, my loosely set target, I summoned up one more burst of energy. Two miles previously, as my calves went from uncomfortable to full-on burn, the sole focus was on getting to the finish line. But then I started to believe, I had a second wind. Yes, I was in pain but there was a renewed mental strength.
Despite the physical agony, the final mile was the most enjoyable. The race organisers decided to put the first names of every runner on their bib this year. It meant that well-wishers, six or seven deep, were able to urge on runners heading for the finish. The memory of hundreds of people shouting my name, willing me across the line, will live on for a long time to come. Little wonder there were tears.
My blisters now have their own blisters and every movement is still painful enough to make me wince a little. And although I'm enjoying a rest at the moment, I'm already excited about the next challenge – getting closer to that 3:30 mark – and I've already pinpointed several ways I could improve.
I'm hooked and I want more – but will the emotional reaction be as strong next time? If I reach my targeted time, will I break into tears again? Or was my reaction due to it being my first? Either way, I can't wait.

Independent research into the pounds 300m generation market by the consultancy group London Economics was delivered to the regulator, Douglas McIldoon, on Monday.
The document, commissioned by the Northern Ireland power watchdog, Ofreg, looked at the suggestions put forward by the generators which they hoped could avert an MMC referral.
Charles Coulthard, the deputy electricity regulator, declined to comment on the likelihood of a referral. However, the offers of power price cuts are not thought sufficient to satisfy Ofreg.
Mr Coulthard said: "The report will give us a clear indication in policy terms. Douglas will then have to decide whether to refer the generators to the MMC. If we can get a solution, Douglas may accept it."
It would be the second MMC investigation into the Northern Ireland power market, where average domestic bills of around pounds 320 are almost 20 per cent higher than in the rest of the UK. Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) is locked in a dispute with Mr McIldoon following an MMC probe into transmission and distribution price controls.
In a controversial move Mr McIldoon has rejected the MMC's recommendations, which would cut NIE's revenues by 25 per cent, as too lenient. He has instead proposed a cut of 29 per cent, opening a debate about the powers of utility regulators.
The London Economics report calculated the potential savings from changes to the generation market, which accounts for about 60 per cent of domestic bills.
Three companies took over the four power stations in the province at privatisation in 1992.
They include Premier, owned by BG, which operates the 1,000 megawatt Ballylumford power station.
One suggestion was to reform the wholesale power market, by allowing large industrial customers to negotiate direct contracts with the generators. Under the present system all users have to buy their electricity from NIE, which has inflation-proof contracts with the generators lasting until 2010.
Generation charges in Northern Ireland of 4.2p a unit are much higher than in the UK. Ofreg has aimed to reduce the cost to 3.5p, while the London Economics calculations suggest the generators' own schemes would cut prices by up to 3.6p, though some of the savings could be much smaller.
Mr McIldoon's predecessor had hoped to introduce a trading market for wholesale power in Northern Ireland, similar to the Electricity Pool in England and Wales, but the initiative was abandoned as too complex.
Another idea from the generators was to invest in more efficient power plants.

text: food Michigan holds the nation's fudge capital - Mackinac Island By Rick Pluta • Jun 13, 2013 rawmustard / Flickr Listen Listening... / 4:22 This coming Sunday isn't just Father's Day -- it is also National Fudge Day. By most accounts, the first batch of fudge was concocted in Baltimore in the 1880s. By the turn of the century, fudge-making arrived on Mackinac Island in northern Michigan, which today has a legitimate claim as the modern day fudge capital. Tourists pile off ferries and onto Mackinac Island by the thousands every day during the summer. For many, one of the first stops when they arrive or the last stop before they board a ferry back home, is one of the island's 15 or so fudge shops. Island-wide, the favorite is plain, unadulterated chocolate fudge. A rebound for Michigan's maple syrup producers By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 31, 2013 Logan Chadde It has been a good year for maple syrup in Michigan. Farms produced twice the amount of syrup as they did last year, thanks to prime weather conditions that extended the tree-tapping season into April. Syrup production ended in the Lower Peninsula in early April, and the Upper Peninsula continued production until the end of April. The official numbers of gallons produced will be released in early June. The Jemima Code uncovers real life of African-American cooks By Jennifer White & Mercedes Mejia • Jan 22, 2013 Website screen shot. / http://tonitiptonmartin.com/ Listen Listening... / 5:25 For many people, the name Aunt Jemima immediately brings a certain image to mind - pancakes anyone? The image -- with the broad smile, round face, and hair wrapped in a bandana -- is powerful, and often controversial. Author Toni Tipton-Martin examines the image of Aunt Jemima through the recipes and histories of real-life African-American cooks. The Jemima Code is a blog, book project, and traveling art exhibition that looks beyond the bandana. Tipton-Martin will be a special guest at Zingerman's 8th Annual African-American dinner tonight. She will also present a special talk on food and diversity on Wednesday January 23rd at 7:00pm. You can visit this link for more information. Blimpy Burger searching for new location after U of M buys building By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 7, 2012 Blimpy Burger / blimpyburger.com The passage of right-to-work legislation in the state House and Senate may have Lansing in turmoil, but residents of Ann Arbor learned yesterday of a more immediate concern. Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, a staple for U of M students and townies alike, is looking for a new home. AnnArbor.com has more: Owner Rich Magner said a deal between the University of Michigan and the property's owner, Patricia Shafer, means he will have to close Blimpy Burger in summer 2013. He wants to find a new location for the restaurant. Shafer is the widow of Blimpy Burger's original founder, Jim Shafer. "I don't know what the plans are," Magner said. "But basically, in a nutshell, we will be able to operate in this location into summer 2013 and we will be trying to put a deal together and look for a new location." Magner said the University made Shafer an offer "she couldn't refuse." Stateside: Thanksgiving spreads your great-grandmother would recognize By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Nov 21, 2012 Rebecca Williams / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 12:35 Cyndy talks with Bill Loomis, author of "Detroit's Delectable Past" With the exception of a few wild selections, the Thanksgiving spreads of today closely resemble those of the 1800's. Bill Loomis, author of "Detroit's Delectable Past," claimed our ancestors had a taste for animals of considerable size- such as the bear. During the 19th century, animals were killed specifically for the Thanksgiving meal. Cuts of chicken, duck, fish, quail and squirrel were served with mounds of squash and other root vegetables. Going undercover in a Detroit Walmart By Christina Shockley & Emily Fox • Nov 5, 2012 European Parliament / flickr Listen Listening... / 3:33 Interview with Tracie McMillan For Seeking Change, Christina Shockley spoke with Tracie McMillan.

Kellogg's Mini-Wheat recall comes after cutbacks, company reinvesting in supply chain By Mark Brush • Oct 11, 2012 Kellogg's Three days ago, Battle Creek cereal maker Kellogg's announced a voluntary recall of Frosted and Unfrosted Mini-Wheats. From Kellogg's: We have initiated a voluntary recall due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing part. Recalled products include only Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size with the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the Best If Used Before date. You can see a list of UPC codes on the Kellogg's website. The Wall Street Journal reports on how much the recall will cost the company: Kellogg Co. K +0.54% said Wednesday it would take a charge of up to $30 million to cover the recall of Mini-Wheats cereal in the U.S. due to possible contamination by pieces of metal mesh. Retailers have been contacted about the recall of 2.8 million packages of Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite-Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size, which are being pulled from store shelves. Kellogg blamed the contamination on "a faulty manufacturing part," and said no injuries had been reported. The WSJ reports the metal mesh problem comes after the company went through another recall in 2010 for a variety of cereals. The paper reports the company is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fix its supply chain, "which suffered deep cost cuts, leaving several manufacturing facilities overworked and too few people overseeing operations." Stateside: Food Entrepreneurs By Stateside Staff • Oct 4, 2012 Clagett Farm CSA Week 10 / thebittenworld.com There is an explosion of locally made jams, sausages, salsas and granolas filling the shelves of grocery stores and farmers' markets.

Trader Joe's recalling goods related to Salmonella outbreak By Mark Brush • Sep 25, 2012 CDC Michigan state health officials are warning consumers that Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Peanut Butter made with sea salt and a variety of almond butter and peanut butter products from Sunland Inc. might be linked to a multi-state bacterial outbreak of "Salmonella Bredeney." The Michigan Department of Community Health says so far, one child in Michigan has been affected along with 28 people in 18 other states (as of Sept. 22). More from a press release from the Michigan Department of Community Health: The product comes in a 16 ounce, plastic jar and was sold in Trader Joe's stores nationwide as well as on the Internet. Testing of the product is under way. Customers with questions may contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817 Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm Pacific Time.... Most individuals infected with Salmonella bacteria often experience diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12-72 hours after infection. The duration of illness is typically 4-7 days and most people recover without treatment. Sometimes a Salmonella infection can be more severe and may spread to the bloodstream, resulting in hospitalization. Young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness from Salmonella infection. You can also check the Sunland Inc. recall online.

Shriveled Michigan apple harvest means fewer jobs, tough year ahead By Noah Adams • Sep 17, 2012 An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but what do you do when there are no apples? It's a question western Michigan's apple growers are dealing with this season after strange weather earlier in the year decimated the state's apple cultivation. Michigan is the third-largest apple producer in the U.S. after New York and Washington, but the state's apples will soon be in short supply. Now in the middle of harvest season, growers are picking only 10 percent to 15 percent of their normal crop.

Report: Michigan's food and beverage businesses are hiring By Steve Carmody • Jun 5, 2012 (courtesy of snakesayan.blogspot.com) A new study says the "Help Wanted" sign is out at Michigan's food and beverage businesses. The National Restaurant Association predicts food and beverage businesses will hire nearly a half million summer workers this year, the highest since 1993. The association says more than 20 thousand of those jobs will be in Michigan. Big box store could threaten last black-owned grocery store in Detroit By Mark Brush • Apr 9, 2012 courtesty of Metro Foodland A big box retailer could move in and compete with the last black-owned grocery store in Detroit, according to a piece by Louis Aguilar in today's Detroit News: The owner of Metro Foodland in northwest Detroit says he may soon face the biggest threat in his 27 years as a grocery owner. A Meijer store with a grocery, garden center and gas station is planned a mile and a half away. "I have concerns that it could kill our business," Hooks said. There are 83 full-line grocers in Detroit, and Metro Foodland is the last black-owned grocery in the city, said Auday Peter Arabo, president of the Associate Food and Petroleum Dealers, which represents 4,000 retailers in Michigan and Ohio. Turning a profit is tricky for independent grocers. Aquilar reports "independent grocers have an average net profit margin of 1.08 percent before taxes, according to a 2011 survey by the National Grocers Association and FMS Solutions." Competition from a chain like Meijer could crimp those profits further. It could be a couple of years before the new Meijer store in northwest Detroit becomes a reality. The News reports that Detroit Public Schools owns property where the store would be built, but the district said late last year it plans to sell. "We are definitely interested in that site, no doubt about it, but at this point it's a developer-driven project," said Meijer spokesman Frank Guglielmi when asked about a store timeline. Saying goodbye to a tradition, Ann Arbor's Parthenon Restaurant closes By John U. Bacon • Apr 6, 2012 George Ruiz / Flickr Ann Arbor's Parthenon Restaurant closed last week after almost 40 years at the corner of Main and Liberty. For me, it marked more than the passing of a favorite spot, but the end of a time-honored ritual for the guys. We filed in, and walked to our favorite table in the back. A little warmer, and we'd sit outside, but it was still March, so whatya gonna do? The owners and waiters nodded. They've seen us more than a hundred times. Cake, shortbread, or pastry? Mazurek is all that, and more As part of our Your Family Story series, we're collecting recipes that have been passed down within families. Send in your mother's, grandfather's, or cousin's famous recipe for goulash, pozole, dumplings or any dish that your family has enjoyed. We're collecting recipes until midnight tomorrow. We'll publish all the recipes. The winner will be chosen by the Changing Gears team. They'll collect a grab bag of public radio goodies. Share your traditional family recipes here, and tell us a little bit about the story behind the dish. Today, Changing Gears Senior Editor Micki Maynard shares this recipe for Mazurek: My father's family, which is of French descent, has been in the United States for many generations, settling primarily in Massachusetts. But my mother is a first generation American. Her family came to the United States around 1905. Her father hailed from what was known then as Byelorussia --- present day Belorus, sometimes also called White Russia. My mom learned European dishes from her mother and New England recipes through my dad, so we enjoyed a varied menu at home. I've always heard my mother say what a good cook my grandmother was. But, I didn't know until this year that my grandmother was co-owner of a bakery in Grand Rapids. The Northwestern Bakery stood on Leonard Street, although the building is no longer there. Each Easter, my family gathers for brunch, and Mazurek (pronouncd mah-ZUR-eck) is always the last dish that is served. We sit over coffee and tea and enjoy this dense, rich pastry, very much like a soft shortbread. My mom was always the Mazurek baker, until she offered to teach me. She also shared the recipe with my brother, who baked the Mazurek that you see above. Want to add Mazurek to your repertoire? Follow this recipe. ArtServe Michigan to serve up fresh, local art By Jennifer Guerra • Jan 9, 2012 Jennifer Guerra / Michigan Radio An arts advocacy group is stealing an investment idea from the agriculture world in an effort to get more folks to buy local art. A statewide arts advocacy group wants to serve up some fresh, local art. To do so, the group is copying an investment model popular in the agricultural world. Lots of farms in Michigan participate in Community Supported Agriculture. Folks can buy a CSA share in a farm. In return, the shareholder gets a weekly crate of fresh farm produce. Food truck craze coming to Grand Rapids? By Lindsey Smith • Dec 8, 2011 Steven Depolo / Creative Commons City planners in Grand Rapids are debating whether food trucks should be allowed in the city. Food trucks are becoming more popular thanks in part to TV shows like "The Great Food Truck Race". Your Story: can grassroots small business support work? By Sarah Alvarez • Oct 28, 2011 Lucy Bland Business incubators are a trumpeted, but yet unproven way to give entrepreneurs and their projects a higher chance of success. Foundations and governments are lining up dollars to support incubators in their communities. Some of the larger incubators around the region were profiled by Niala Boodhoo earlier this week. But there are also more grassroots efforts springing up, incubators that seem themselves to be small enough to be supported. Marcy Kates lives and works in Holt, Michigan. Two months ago she left her job as a program officer for the state's AmeriCorps program and opened IncuBake, an incubator kitchen and commercial kitchen space. Kates used her savings and her credit cards to open the kitchen, inspired by being unable to find low-cost commercial space for her own catering. "I started this project to be a job creator, " said Kates. Even so, she intentionally stayed away from a nonprofit model, wanting more flexibility and not really wanting to fundraise. That meant using her savings and her credit card to start the business, which is now about 15 percent full but, Kates says, growing steadily. Job training in the kitchen for at-risk youth By What's Working & Christina Shockley • Oct 17, 2011 Every week on What's Working, we take a look at people and organizations that are changing lives in Michigan for the better. Food Gatherers, a Southeast Michigan food bank, offers a job training program for youth ages 17 to 24. Some participants are currently managing a mental illness, others have children or are primary caregivers for younger siblings—all are at risk for homelessness. Christina Shockley, host of Michigan Radio's Morning Edition, speaks with Mary Schlitt, director of development for Food Gatherers. Ground beef recalled, Kroger stores in Michigan not affected By Mark Brush • Sep 28, 2011 Daniel Jordahl / Flickr First, a deadly listeria outbreak on Colorado cantaloupes, now a ground beef E. coli scare affecting some Kroger generic brands. In a recall release, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service says 131,300 pounds of ground beef products from Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. are being recalled because of possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination. E. coli O157:H7 can make a dangerous Shiga toxin. CDC officials say the toxin "can attack the body in several areas: the gut (causing bloody diarrhea), the kidneys (causing kidney failure), and sometimes the nervous system." The Associated Press reports the recall occurred when an Ohio family fell ill after eating the meat contaminated with E. coli: The recall involves beef sold as Kroger and generic brands at Kroger supermarkets; Butcher's Beef at Food Lion supermarkets; and generic beef sold to SAV-A-LOT, Spectrum Foods, Supervalu and the Defense Commissary Agency... According to Michigan Kroger officials, the meat recall does not affect its stores: At this time, Michigan Kroger stores are not affected by this recall. "The Kroger ground beef products sold in our stores in Michigan are not included in this recall," said Dale Hollandsworth, Customer Communications Manager, The Kroger Co. of Michigan. "If a recall were to occur in Michigan, Kroger would initiate our customer recall notification system to alert all customers who may have purchased recalled product." USDA officials say "the products subject to recall have a "BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY" date of "SEP 12 2011" and the establishment number "245D" ink jetted along the package seam." Here are the latest details from the USDA on the specific types of ground beef being recalled: 5-pound chubs of Kroger-brand "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN - 27% FAT," packed in 40-pound cases containing eight chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 QW." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in Ind. and Tenn. for retail sale. 3-pound chubs of Butcher's Brand "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN - 27% FAT," packed in 36-pound cases each containing 12 chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 LWIF." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in N.C. and S.C. for retail sale. 3-pound chubs of a generic label "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN - 27% FAT," packed in 36-pound cases each containing 12 chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 LWI." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in Del., Fla., Ga., Md., Ill., Ind., Mo., N.Y., Ohio, Tenn., Texas and Wis. for retail sale. Chefs try to get Americans to eat Asian carp By Rebecca Williams • Sep 27, 2011 Photo by Rebecca Williams Two species of Asian carp, bighead and silver carp, have been swimming their way north toward the Great Lakes for decades. A lot of people are trying to keep the carp out of the Lakes. Yesterday, attorneys general from around the country announced they're putting more pressure on Congress to speed up action on Asian carp. Some people think one solution is to create a market for the fish. There are a couple of companies working to sell Asian carp to China... where the fish are considered a delicacy. But winning over the American palate is much harder. Carp have a bit of an image problem... and they are full of bones. "We are spoiled here, we like convenience. Everybody expects to have fish without bones, right? And that's the issue." This is Chef Phillipe Parola. He's from Baton Rouge and he wants you to learn to love Asian carp. Parola is one of the chefs who tried to get Americans to eat nutria. Nutria look like oversized rats. So that didn't go over so well. Two years ago, Chef Parola found his new calling. He was out fishing in Louisiana, where the Asian carp are thick. "With ten minutes, this fish started jumping everywhere. I'm like, what in the heck! Two of them, one after the other, landed right at my feet." He kept the giant carp, put them on ice, and took them home. "To my surprise, when I saw the meat, as a professional chef, I knew right on that there's no way that this fish could be bad, literally. When I went and cooked it, I'm going to tell you, it tasted between scallops and crab meat, there is no doubt." Feds win lawsuit over drugs in Michigan cows By The Associated Press • Sep 7, 2011 HAMILTON, Mich. (AP) - A judge says a western Michigan farm violated federal law by selling cows for slaughter with illegal levels of antibiotics. Judge Gordon Quist ruled in favor of regulators who say Scenic View Dairy in Allegan County repeatedly ignored warnings about selling the cows for human consumption. Quist didn't order a penalty last week and says he doesn't want to put Scenic View out of business. The judge told the farm and the government to come up with an agreement by the end of September. Scenic View's primary business is milk but about 70 cows a week are sent to slaughter for human consumption. The farm claims there are exceptions to the government's drug rules. But the judge saysthey don't fit. MSU researchers testing beef tracking from pasture to plate By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Aug 9, 2011 Photo by Emily Fox Local food is the hottest thing on menus this year. That's according to a survey by the National Restaurant Association. Michigan State University researchers are trying to give consumers more information about locally grown food. Some say local is the new green. Here's how two characters in the show Portandia portray the local food movement in America: Waitress: "My name is Dana, I'll be taking care of you today if you have any questions about the menu, please let me know." Woman: "I guess I do have a question about the chicken. If you could just tell us a little more about it." Waitress: "Uh, the chicken is a heritage breed, woodland raised chicken that's been fed a diet of sheep's milk, soy and hazelnuts. . ." Man: "This is local?" Waitress: "Yes. Absolutely." Man: "I'm going to ask you one more time. And it's local?" Waitress: "It is." Woman: "Is that USDA organic, Oregon organic or Portland organic?" Waitress: "It's just all across the board. Organic." FOX: Okay, so not every restaurant is like the one featured in this sitcom. But researchers at Michigan State University say people do want more information about their food. They're starting a pilot program to do just that with local beef. Whole Foods to open in Detroit in 2013 By Jennifer Guerra • Jul 27, 2011 Jennifer Guerra / Michigan Radio Whole Foods is coming to Detroit. Recall of La Providencia salsa, cilantro and other products By Mark Brush • Jun 30, 2011 This press release is from the Michigan Department of Agriculture: La Providencia of Holland is recalling raw cilantro and other food products prepared or packed in the store because they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. All of the following products sold on or before June 29, 2011 are under recall: Raw Cilantro, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Red Salsa, Green Salsa, Grated Cotija Cheese, or Sour Cream sold in unlabeled clear plastic containers, and Oaxaca Cheese or Fresco Cheese sold in unlabeled clear plastic containers or on Styrofoam trays covered in plastic wrap. The recalled products were sold at La Providencia, located at 372 W. 16th Street, Holland and Santa Fe Supermarket #3, located at 981 Butternut Drive, in Holland, MI. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, and nausea. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths. The very young, the pregnant, the elderly, and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to infection. People experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. The contamination was noted after testing by the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in ready to eat products collected at Santa Fe Supermarket #2 and La Providencia on June 21, 2011. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this problem. Production of the product has been suspended at this location while La Providencia and the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development continue their investigation as to the source of the contamination. Consumers who have purchased raw cilantro or various other products sold in these stores are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact LA PROVIDENCIA at (616) 546-8857. The hunt is on for morels in Michigan By Jennifer Guerra • May 13, 2011 user jdurham / morguefile It's morel season in Michigan!

He leads folks on more than 50 mushroom hunts throughout the year in southeast Michigan, starting with the first mushroom of the season: black and white morels. Tedeschi has this advice if you're on the hunt for morels: Salmonella contamination prompts tomato recall By Mark Brush • May 3, 2011 Six L's Packing Company Concern over salmonella contamination has prompted a voluntary recall of certain types of tomatoes. From the Associated Press: A Florida tomato grower is voluntarily recalling its grape tomatoes after a sample tested positive for salmonella. Six L's Packing Company Inc. said in a statement Monday that no illnesses had been reported in connection to the recall as of April 29. The Immokalee, Fla.-based company says the recalled product was packed on April 11 under the Cherry Berry lot code DW-H in clam shells or 20-pound cardboard containers. The tomatoes were distributed to California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia, as well as Canada. The tomatoes also were used in deli salads made by Tracy-based Taylor Farms Pacific Inc. The salads were sold in Albertsons, Raley's, Safeway, Savemart, Sam's Club and Walmart stores across the West and some Midwestern states. Sugar companies sue over "high fructose corn syrup" rebranding By Mark Brush • Apr 29, 2011 Rodney Burton / creative commons There's long been a tug of war between corn growers and sugar refiners over who can get their sweetener into more products. Reuters reports that high fructose corn syrup has been gaining on sugar lately because of higher sugar prices. Now, sugar growers are suing over a ad campaign that is trying to change the image of high fructose corn syrup. Michigan Sugar Company has joined a lawsuit against corn processors who are trying to rebrand high-fructose corn syrup as "corn sugar." McDonald's "National Hiring Day" is tomorrow By Niala Boodhoo • Apr 18, 2011 Miguel Vaca / Flickr "Would you like some fries with that?" That's the phrase many are perfecting for McDonald's National Hiring Day tomorrow. Many of the McDonald's jobs will be in the Midwest. McDonald's got its start here in the Midwest, and it has a substantial presence throughout the Great Lakes states. That's why 10,000 of the 50,000 new workers, the company wants will be based across the region. The McDonald's in downtown Chicago (on Chicago and State) is one location that is hiring. Nick Karavites and his family own that restaurants and 18 others across the city. "Not only are we looking to hire cashiers but also hospitality staff and kitchen staff," says Karavites. As the employment market improves, job seekers can get more selective about where they work. Karavites said pay at their restaurants averages $9 an hour, and that all workers can participate in a McDonald's Insurance program. McDonald's says the company needs more workers because last year's sales were up five percent and continues to grow. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

I am a little over weight. Well actually quite a bit but that doesn't bother me. It bothers my teachers, my parents and sometimes my friends but it doesn't really bother me.
Apparently it bothered Jack the bully because he called me fatty.. then stuck a knife in my stomach and said thats for being fat. I guess he couldn't understand my inside myself he just looked at my body and was disgusted. It's really a pity that people think like this because this is the emotion that causes war and pain.

A very short story about being called fatty.
I think this tale may be true, and that may be the author in the photo. I may be completely wrong.
I feel that fiction is being used here as an alternative option to diary keeping. I don't think this is actually a story yet. I think we need to find out more about the character of the narrator, set up very promisingly in the first paragraph. We need some development, maybe by an example or two, of how it bothers his friends, being fat, and how he doesn't give a f**k. Then we need a less obvious finale than the bully stabbing the narrator.
Unless of course this last bit's true.
I just can't tell.
Write us a longer version please. Tell us more!

British Coal yesterday conceded that it would have to introduce an indepedent element into the consultation procedure, but rejected the unions' insistence that the pits begin 'coaling' and development work.
Management sources last night conceded that the judgment left considerable room for interpretation and union officials predicted that consultations envisaged by the ruling could take some time. British Coal was still considering an appeal.
Unions were adamant that the judge's suggestion that Boyds, the American mining consultant, should be used an independent scrutineer of the closures, was unacceptable. The company is already working for the Department of Trade and Industry to review the future of the 21 other collieries which the Government intended to close. Peter McNestry, general secretary of Nacods, the pit supervisors' union, said that in a previous report for British Coal on privatisation Boyds had suggested longer shifts and other proposals which would have impaired safety.
Unions pointed out that the High Court's decision would require the appointment of a jointly agreed independent panel to assess the unions' arguments. The judge said that any new consultation procedure agreed over the 10 pits should be substantially the same as the industry's Modified Colliery Review Procedure which has such an appeal body.
In a statement last night British Coal said it would amend the consultation procedures over the 10 collieries to 'ensure they contain the independent element which the judge said was the legitimate expectation of our employees and we are considering how to put that into effect'.
It added: 'We have not seen the full judgment but it is clear that there is no requirement to resume coal production at the pits. There is no reason to do so in terms of market need, but we are maintaining the mines in a fit condition to resume coaling depending on the outcome of the statutory consultation.'
Further court action is now in prospect. John Hendy, counsel for the National Union of Mineworkers, yesterday pointed out that about pounds 100m of public money had been paid out in redundancy to pitmen made redundant at the 10 mines, the closure of which had been declared unlawful.
At 9 of the 10 collieries miners were still reporting for duty although there was no production. They were on basic wages and many of them would have lost more than a third of their income.

As a libertarian minded conservative, I was angered recently when the Pennsylvania State Police and the Liquor Control Board raided a local Elks club and seized money and video poker machines. Many people where I live are livid about the raid, and blame the State Police and Liquor Control for their overbearing tactics.
The Elks are popular in this town of about 4,200 that's still struggling to recover from the decline of the coal industry. The lodge sponsors a Little League baseball team, summertime movies in the borough park and a fishing tournament for kids. To many Frackville residents, the raid was politically motivated or was another example of how the downtrodden region gets no respect.
"It would be different if they were selling dope or prostitutes or if the football pool was $100,000 a block," said Bender, who is not a member of the Elks. "It's a shame. The state police and LCB don't realize what the Elks do for the veterans and the kids."
I agree that the police overstepped their bounds. The Elks clubs of the United States do more for the communities they serve in one weekend than most State Police barracks do in a year.
What really upset many people was that several months ago a woman joined the Elks and Elks Auxiliary. Turned out she was an undercover State Policewoman. She joined and was active in the Elks for the last several months. The day of the raid she was serving breakfast at their monthly breakfast fundraiser.
She joined a fraternal organization, and during the solemn and serious initiation ceremony, she promised to never wrong a fellow Elk. Though it may seem trivial to some, members of these fraternal organizations mean it when they promise to uphold the tenets of their orders. And the fact is that the police officer basically made a mockery of it, and that really stung.
I find it ironic that the government wants us to gamble. The Agitator compares law enforcement's tactics to those of the Mafia . If the Mafia tries to break up a rival gambling ring, it's a crime even though they are just protecting their own economic interests. But the State Police do it, and it's just to "protect us". If we need protection from gambling, then just ban it. The gambling at the Elks' was cutting into the profits of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, plain and simple.
Here in Pennsylvania, the lottery recently started pulling two sets of numbers, and our legislature recently approved slot machines at racetracks and casinos. See the connection? The money from these illicit sports pools are cutting into the pockets of the government. It isn't about protecting us; it's about protecting the interests of the state.
Those police should be ashamed.
