But under the plans unveiled on Monday, it said hundreds of thousands of workers in the care...

He was met on Monday in the centre of Hull, northeast England, by a crowd of up to 1,000 cheering people, and thanked...

‘Identity crisis’: UK passes British Nationality Bill in 19…
A matter of identity By Christopher Wood This article was first published on October 31, 1981 The passage of the British Nationality Bill through Parliament has proved an emotional issue for Hongkong, sparking off fears that the Colony is sliding into political limbo. As Hongkong-born British subjects lost their right of residence in the United Kingdom back in 1962, the strength of feeling against the legislation has surprised many, including probably the British Government. But such a view...

As middle powers, Australia, Britain and Canada can do more than most other nations to influence global peace in the face of a new great power rivalry between China and the United States. These three nations owe their citizens, and perhaps the wider world, an earnest effort to rise to the challenge of being peacemakers. They have three attributes in common that give them unique potential to be a pivotal force. First is their own shared histories as members of the Anglosphere and therefore close...

When I was little, they both worked in the shoe trade; that business went into decline after the 1997 Asian financial crisis...
