Press Freedom and Phone Hacking
If there is a complaint that the West likes to level at China on an ongoing basis, it is that of Human Rights, including that there should be less state control over the press and over freedom of expression. So it should be of interest that there is an inquiry currently under way investigating whether the press in Britain should be more highly controlled, after it appeared that some individuals working at the News of the World had broken the law, intercepting the voicemails of apparently hundreds of individuals including royalty, politicians, sports stars and celebrities, as well as apparently a murder victim, in order to find stories to sell in its newspapers.

All-Day Bus Pass Use Saved
In excellent news for users of the free bus pass for older and disabled residents, we are able to confirm that following successful negotiations with commercial bus operators free travel before 9.30am will now continue in Bedford Borough. This is an extra benefit that is on top of the national scheme that only allows free travel 'off peak,' after 9.30am. Prior to becoming Mayor I campaigned with colleagues to establish and protect the best possible scheme for local pensioners and disabled bus users, and now as Mayor I'm delighted that we've been able to protect the local addition to the national scheme and ensure that the free bus pass can be used all day.
