We might err, but science is self-correcting | Print |  Email
Monday, 08 February 2010
My non-scientist friends are beginning to ask me “What’s gone wrong with science?” Revelations about melting glaciers and potentially dodgy emails about global warming, the resurfacing of Andrew Wakefield and the MMR scare, and the sacking of the Government’s drugs adviser, have created the impression for some people that science is in a mess, writes John Krebs in the Times
 
Still no hope of common sense in the war against anti-Semitism | Print |  Email
Monday, 08 February 2010
One would not choose to roll around naked in a field of nettles. One learns that choosing to write on anti-Semitism is just as rash, possibly more so. Protesters and malicious maligners stalk anyone who ventures on to the subject. And for the only Muslim weekly columnist in the country (who knows for how long) to tread into that field is extreme recklessness. Or reveals a worrying proclivity for masochism. Stinging rebukes will arrive before I am awake and all manner of outrageous allegations will roam the streets of the internet, rogue rumours against which there is no defence. Every word typed can be distorted or has the potential to offend. The column will madden both hyper-Zionists and insufferable Islamicists. So divisive is the issue today that many who see themselves as "reasonable" Muslims and Jews may not be too happy either. Ah well so be it. No more procrastination. Unto the breach dear friends, writes Yasmin Alibhai-Brown in The Independent.

Is there still such a thing as the Catholic vote? It doesn’t seem likely. The days when political instruction could be handed down from the pulpit and accepted without much argument are long gone. For the Church of Rome, as for every other church, that’s probably just as well, writes Ian Bell in The Herald
