The founding principle of the NHS was that it would offer free-at-the-point-of-delivery healthcare. Surely this should apply whether you go to hospital as a patient, as a visitor or a member of staff. It's simply not fair to expect patients or visitors to have to pay when they come to hospital, when they may be suffering personal anxiety, stress or grief. For this reason I welcome yesterday's announcement...

South Africa SMILES!!! I did not go there expecting to see what I saw. I was amazed. Here is a country not even 15 years out of apartheid. A country with huge problems. Crime. Immigration from other, less stable surrounding countries. Rampant poverty. An AIDs epidemic . A huge drug and alcohol problem. Competing ethnicities with centuries of hostile history. An entrenched, largely racist white establishment...

I didn’t know Vernon for long. We worked together at the Labour Research Services in Salt River, Cape Town. He was my first proper boss. It was my first proper job. And I will never forget him. He was one of the “unseen” heroes who fought Apartheid. Walking those roads in the township with the police around him. Just another guy who did the right things at the right time. An incredible person. And...

Why didn't Carter speak at the Democratic Convention? The Jewish Daily Forward understands: Since Carter published a book in November 2006 accusing Israel of practicing apartheid against the Palestinians, Democrats have been trying to distance themselves from the former president and to convince Jewish activists that he does not represent the party line. “He hasn’t shown respect to Israel and many...

Every time I hear about terrible things that happen in Africa I probably naively think to myself that at least South Africa is sorted out now. At least Apartheid is over and the power has shifted back to the blacks where it belongs without too much bloodshed or economical disruption like in Zimbabwe. In fact things in South Africa have started to look very positive lately. I presume they are dealing...
