New look England or another false dawn?
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter, Sports Editor @Sport_TLE @davidjdewinter Two games, two wins. You can’t ask for much more after the debacle that was the World Cup in Brazil. Except you can if you are the English media. An admittedly drab 1-0 victory against a limited Norway side had sections of the press questioning manager Roy Hodgson’s position. Has he taken England as far as he can? Is he out of his depth at the top level? What about someone...

A new survey has revealed there is a concerning lack of knowledge amongst Britain's small business when it comes to disposing of hazardous waste. The study of more than 1,000 SMEs, conducted by waste and recycling company Biffa, found eight out of ten are leaving themselves open to fines and prosecutions, with only 20 per cent of companies disposing of their hazardous waste legally. Despite an overriding confidence in how to manage their business waste (95 per cent said it wasn't...
Scotland . . . The Political Reality
By J T Coombes www.globalmagnacarta.com @GMagnaCarta And so the great day has arrived when Alex Salmond gets to see which way the dice will fall on what is certainly the biggest gamble of his political career. Gamble is the operative word here I would suggest, as I cannot see any visionary leadership at work.
