Jerry Hayes puts the boot into the Conservative Party.

"Any good modern therapist working with children ... knows that discipline, limits and unconditional love, not medication, are what children really need, not drugs." Redmond O'Hanlon contrasts French and American approaches to ADHD.

Peter Wrigley on The Archers and the taxation of land.
