Mr Ashdown has a notional 14.8 per cent majority over his nearest – Tory – rival.. Tony Blair said last night that he would serve the country with “all my heart and all my energy.” Voting for a new Labour government offered a new chance for Britain. In his acceptance speech in his Sedgefield constituency, with his wife Cherie at his side, Mr Blair said: “We are a great country The British people are a great people. There is no greater honour than to serve them and serve them we will.”
Mr Blair went on: “This was a vote for the future, not a vote for outdated dogma or ideology. It is a vote for the end of division, an end of looking backwards, a desire to apply the basic decent British values of common sense and imagination to the problems we all now face.”It is with a real sense of pride that we have created a Labour Party today that is capable of delivering the purpose, vision and renewal that the country leads.”With these decent values in place we can tackle the problems of the country, the problems of schools, hospitals, taking crime off the streets and jobs. We will bring the things that determines whether the country succeeds or fails.

We are a great country and are a great people and it is a great honour to be able to serve you and serve them.”Thanking his family, friends, constituents and party workers, he said: “You have been absolutely magnificent to me all the way through The greatest pleasure I have is to serve you with. I will not let you down.”Blair held his Sedgefield constituency comfortably with 33,526 votes (71.16 per cent of the vote), against the Conservative candidate (8,383) and Liberal Democrat (3,050), creating a Labour majority of 25,143 and a notional 9.61% swing from Conservative to Labour.From 10pm, when the first exit polls predicted a landslide, the faithful at Trimdon Labour Club welled with hope and expectation and pride.For 14 years they had waited, providing Mr Blair with the base he needed to build new Labour and to build it largely on the values they held; on decency, equality and free of extremist dogma.”By God, he will make a change to this country,” said Joan Smith, 75, who joined the party when she was just 15. “We have been hoping and praying for this moment for so long He is kind and able and intelligent. He will bring back the sort of values this country has been missing under the Tories, with all their sleaze and arrogance.”The astonishment began to be felt as early as 10pm when the BBC declared the results of its exit polls – and a Labour majority of 185. Then, at 10.50pm came the first result, and a resounding cheer. Chris Mullin had held Sunderland South with a swing to Labour of 11 per cent, the figure reflected in the exit polls.With the Federation brewery of Gateshead laying on a 79p a pint election night special, the hope turned to joy and the joy to delight. They sat and cheered each result as they came in, flashed across a bank of 16 television screens.And in the middle of the celebrations were Warren McCourt, 71, the former leader of Sedgefield District Council, and Frank Robson, 73, a former Darlington councillor, and they shared a smile at their own greatest personal defeat in politics.

Because they were both on the shortlist of six from which Mr Blair was selected as the Sedgefield candidate in 1983.”Boy, am I glad we lost,” said Mr Robson “Tony is a man of tremendous vision and charisma. We lost that night but it’s hard not to feel like a winner now.”"It’s absolutely wonderful,” said John Burton, 56, Mr Blair’s agent and one of the original team of five local men who got the Labour leader selected as their candidate in 1983.”We have been waiting for this for 14 years. For the past three weeks I have been saying I have been fairly confident we could win. But now it’s happening and the Conservatives are getting what they deserve.”They have only themselves to blame for all the sleaze and their lack of policies Now Tony can get to work putting this country to rights. He is an amazing man – we have known that for 14 years but now the rest of the country can find out too.”Mr McCourt, 71, said “I’m absolutely delighted that I lost on that night,” he said. “While they were doing the count then, I had a pint with Tony and I knew I was seeing someone special.”Now he will save the country. I have served under lots of Labour leaders, from Clement Atlee to Tony Blair, and I can tell you that, tonight, the gap between Clement Atlee and Tony Blair is very small indeed.

But the landslide of 1945 is nothing compared with what we have seen tonight.”Strict security was evident all the day in the constituency, and police and security services will be on high alert today throughout the country amid fears that the IRA may choose the first day of the new government to continue its campaign of disruption.Police took the highly unusual step of using officers armed with Heckler and Koch automatic weapons, and wearing bullet-proof vests, to patrol the village and polling station at Trimdon, Co Durham.A police spokesman said a small number of armed officers had been used in the Durham force’s area for several weeks.It made for an incongruous scene. Mr Blair in shirtsleeves, his wife, Cherie, and their children had looked relaxed under clear blue skies as they strolled to the tiny polling station at Trimdon Colliery Community Centre, shadowed by the armed police officers.Extra police officers were on duty at many of the country’s 45,000 polling stations and bomb searches were carried out at the counting centres.But anti-terrorist officers believe that today is a more likely target. The IRA may be tempted to seize the new government’s attention by staging a series of bomb threats in the first hours of power.A vast number of both covert and overt security operations were used yesterday to try and ensure that nothing prevented people going to the polls.The IRA has demonstrated repeatedly in recent weeks its ability to cause mayhem on motorways, railways and air services with coded telephone calls.. Joy was mixed with sadness for the Liberal Democrats last night as they won hitherto undreamed of seats, but saw the defeat of their health spokesman, Simon Hughes. While they failed to secure any significant increase on the 18 per cent of the vote received in 1993, the collapse in the Tory vote led to predictions of more than 60 MPs in the new parliament.
Paddy Ashdown held on to his own seat at Yeovil with a 3.1 per cent swing.Accepting victory, he said: “I believe we will have a change of government with a substantial majority which will deliver a new era in our politics.

The 1909 film The Airship Destroyer offered a chilling insight into the kind of destruction Britain would endure in the First World War.Shots showed balloons, dirigibles and aircraft crowding the air over the capital and dropping bombs (admittedly heaved overboard manually) on vehicles below, including a tank.An even earlier film, made by Georges Melies in 1903, predicted Neil Armstrong’s moon landing of 66 years before it actually took place. In The Phantom Empire, a film serial made in the late Thirties, there was a tin man,” he said.”Films made about 1910 had people going into hotels which were entirely self-operating. Everything is done mechanically: light is turned on mechanically, food is provided mechanically. In a surprising number of instances they got it right, an exhibition opening today reveals. “Image-ine”, at the Museum of the Moving Image on the South Bank in London, looks at how film-makers of the past not only visualised the future, but in some cases helped make it happen.
Philip Strick, who is writing an encyclopedia of science fiction film and acted as an adviser for the exhibition, said that many scientific advances had been foreshadowed on film long before they were invented.”Even in the first 10 years of cinema you can spot ideas about artificial intelligence.

None of the patients reported side-effects such as headaches, dizziness or pain and none reported complaints from their partner.The author, Professor Adel Gomaa, professor of pharmacology at Assiut University, Egypt, concluded: “Even though more studies are needed, treatment of impotence with a cream … might be considered before the intracavernous injection of vaso-active drugs.”. From life on Mars to peevish robots, film-makers have been predicting the future for a century. Erectile response, the patient’s satisfaction and any side-effects were investigated.The active cream increased blood flow to the penis and induced erections.Twenty five patients reported spontaneous erections during the week in which they were treated with the active cream and more than half reported successful intercourse compared to three who used the placebo.The treatment worked particularly well in men whose impotence had a psychological component.

These are given via injections, which may be stressful for the patient and have unpleasant side-effects.The double-blind trial, carried out in Egypt, involved 36 impotent men with an average age of 48 who had suffered impotence for more than three years.There were varying reasons given by the men for being unable to sustain an erection, including diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression.The men were given the active cream – which contains aminophylline, co-dergocrine and isosorbide dinitrate – for one week and a placebo for the following week. A trial of the new cream, which contains a cocktail of drugs that dilate the blood vessels, has been successful in 66 per cent of cases.
Statistics released in the UK last year, based on a survey of 2,000 men, claimed that 26 per cent of the UK adult male population have experienced impotence to some degree, that 5 per cent of men are impotent all or most of the time and that within any two-week period in the UK, 2.3 million men suffer from erectile dysfunction.But, at present, the most common way of dealing with impotence is to use vaso-active drugs. Why couldn’t they have chosen a barrister, someone who had the expertise but was separate?”The inquiries will be overseen by Stephen Dorrell, Secretary of State for Health, and William Hague, Secretary of State for Wales.. Men suffering from impotence could fare better by rubbing in a new cream rather than embarking on a course of painful injections, according to the latest research which is published in the British Medical Journal. He has a very clear concept of the rights of young people in public care.”But, Zak Savio, 26, who was abused as a child in homes in North Wales, said: “I’m worried it’s a conflict of interest … He is also chairman of the Institute for Social Work, which has campaigned for an improved system in the face of recent scandals including the largest investigation yet in Cheshire where more than 300 children were abused.Daphne Statham, director of the institute, said yesterday: “He’s a man of immense integrity and is committed to involving young people and getting their views.

The Welsh Secretary and the Health Secretary have been considering what action to take, and we agreed their proposals this morning.”A separate inquiry will investigate the widespread abuses in homes in North Wales, where at least 200 children lived under the shadow of paedophiles, and 12 former residents committed suicide following their experiences.Both inquiries follow a campaign by the Independent into the scandal in Britain’s homes, which only emerged when victims found the courage to reveal what had happened to them, exposing networks of paedophiles.Sir William’s appointment had a mixed reception among childcare experts, who welcomed it, and former homes residents, who were concerned for the inquiry’s independence.Sir William conducted a general report into childcare in homes in 1991. The Prime Minister yesterday set up a public inquiry into the widespread abuse in Britain’s children’s homes, claiming that he was “personally horrified” by the experiences of hundreds of young people who grew up in care. After a Cabinet meeting in which ministers discussed the plight of children who had been sexually and physically abused, John Major announced that Sir William Utting, a former chief inspector of the Social Services Inspectorate, would investigate safeguards to protect children.
Mr Major said: “Children in residential care are self- evidently among the most vulnerable members of our society. “The team conclude that there was some inadequacies in care, but believe even if those inadequacies had not existed Armstrong’s behaviour – and therefore the risk to others – could not have been predicted.”But Beverley Palmer said she could not accept that Armstrong’s actions were unavoidable: “I will never trust the authorities again We all live in total fear,” she said “If the IRA plants a bomb, they are responsible.

If somebody like Armstrong is given a home in a community, it is the responsibility of the authority.”The chairman of Tees Health Authority, Tom O’Connor, said some recommendations had been implemented and a review carried out jointly by Tees Health Authority and social services “An action plan is being drawn up to address the findings.”. Psychiatric reports prepared for the Crown Court diagnosed him as suffering from a personality disorder.Armstrong’s initial clinical history at Hartlepool hospital was full of shortcomings, the inquiry concluded, and his subsequent admissions to hospital – five within 14 months – was “further compromised by reliance on the initial inadequate clinical history”.The main question the inquiry team, chaired by Clyde Freeman, a solicitor from Darlington, faced was whether Rosie’s murder could have been prevented if Armstrong had been treated differently by the various agencies. The cause of her death remains a mystery because the girl’s body was decomposing by the time police, making their third search of Armstrong’s flat, found it in a bin-liner inside a cupboard.Armstrong was jailed for life last July after admitting murder. It emerged a year before the murder, a senior social worker had warned: “Armstrong is likely to be a risk to any child he comes into contact with.”The report also disclosed that Armstrong had been accused of abusing three other children, had himself been sexually abused as a child, was the product of an incestuous relationship and in turn had an incestuous relationship with his mother, had a violent past, and had drink and drugs problems.

One of the toughest questions plaguing fans just got more difficult: Team Edward, Team Jacob … or Team Johnny?

This is terrible logic, cannot be good medicine and is surely immoral.The US Federal Government some years ago commissioned an exhaustive study of PSA testing from a public health point of view which took a very hard look at the economics of national PSA screening.The study, which is publicly available, basically concluded that so long as the treatment was nationally as effective as it was at the better medical centres, PSA testing was economic and could be supported by Medicare.JEROME GOLDSTEINLondon W1. Sir: You say that John Major intends to sack teachers whose pupils fail to match up to national standards (“Bad results to cost jobs of teachers”, 12 February). Doesn’t the Conservative Party believe in personal responsibility any more?

Twenty years ago a pupil of mine gatecrashed St John’s College May Ball twice, and was then arrested whilst trying to steal a bicycle. His tutor rescued him from the cells, pleading that he was due to sit an examination that morning. The pupil fell asleep, and failed his O-level.
If behaviour like this is to result in the sacking of a teacher rather than the punishment of the pupil, won’t it encourage all students to do the same?Rev TOM AMBROSEDirector of CommunicationsDiocese of ElyEly, Cambridgeshire. Sir: Your reply to the question (Technoquest, 10 February) concerning the differences between the male and female brain was illuminating. “Female brains are on average 10 per cent smaller than male brains.” So far, so good.

No one has yet produced a reliable correlation between human brain size and intelligence, so no need for us all to panic at this revelation. So why did you?

Why put in the totally irrelevant comment that “women’s bodies are, on average, more than 10 per cent lighter than men’s, so their brain weight is a higher percentage of the whole body.” So what? Do you suggest that fat people are intellectually inferior to thin people? Or Americans to Chinese?
Dr E AGERExmouth, Devon. Sir: An article about “zebrass” (“What happens when a donkey meets a zebra”, 6 February) stated that the two zebrass in Britain, Zed and Zee, were believed to be the only ones in the world outside the United States. A species in South Africa, known as “kwaggas”, has been in existence for a number of years. Kwaggas had been extinct since the last century, but scientists experimenting with donkey-zebra combinations managed to reproduce them.

Sir: Your leading article of 11 February suggested that some jobs in small businesses would be lost as a result of a national minimum wage. It should also be pointed out that a minimum wage would protect many small businesses from the predatory pricing policies of larger competitors

I met a couple who run a fish and chip shop.

Their employees are mostly members of their own family and they earn decent wages. A few months ago a fast food chain set up an outlet opposite their shop The workers there are paid only pounds 2 per hour. Because their labour costs are lower, the fast food chain can undercut the fish and chip shop. The owners think they will go out of business next year.
The cruellest irony is that this family is paying taxes to subsidise through the benefit system the low wages paid by the fast food chain. If a Labour government ends this scam it will do us all a favour.Dr MARK PATTONLewes, East Sussex. Sir: Faced with overcapacity, disappearing customers and no possibility of diversifying, the Church of England might have to take a lead from other big businesses caught in the same trap – close branches, downsize to a core, sell peripherals and real estate (“Runcie and the long melancholy roar”, 10 February).

This would finance redundancies in the field and a new small organisation at Lambeth with a catchy title , staffed by a few bishops. Some would handle advertising of the Christian message by all usual means, including telephone and maildrop. The rest would run a Freefone helpline.
Supplicants might be answered – “Hello, thank you for calling ABC If you seek salvation, press 1 To discuss remission of your sins, press 2 For Bible queries, press 3. We cannot help with dreams of avarice but if you press the star key and then 666 you will be connected to Mammon, a division of your local water company.”In all seriousness, if the above process works for the business world, why not for religion?GRAHAM HOLDENBudleigh Salterton, Devon. There was a gin and tonic on the bar table andtheformer NorthernIreland Office official, features as gnarled as his cynicism, a Protestant as brutally honest about his own people as he is about Catholics, was waiting for me in his usual Belfast haunt A quarter century ago, he would curse my pessimism Now he was worse than me; and I was shocked “Bob, I’ve never seen such sectarian hatred. You know, I was talking to a senior policeman the other day about Drumcree. He had been working for Chief Constable Annesley – whom we called `the eternal flame’ because he never went out – and I told this policeman that it all ended last summer at Drumcree when the RUC let the Protestants march through the Catholic streets.

I said to him there was no way forward since the loyalists set aside the rule of law at Drumcree. It proved for everyone that the Protestants, when they take to the streets, have more power than the law.”

Drumcree has become a milepost of Northern Ireland history, like Bloody Sunday in Derry or the Protestant Ulster Workers’ Council strike that brought down the power-sharing Belfast government in 1974. In 1972, Bloody Sunday destroyed finally and forever the British Army’s credibility among Catholics. The Protestant strike destroyed the British government’s credibility among Catholics. And Drumcree, in the early summer of last year, destroyed the last shreds of Catholic hope that the RUC could be trusted.
