The president is her godfather.An insider says: “The RHS has a stranglehold and hates competition Its council (16 strong), not its membership, dominates. And the class divide endures – gardeners are still seen as blue-collar workers.”Horticulturally, the insider says, the society cannot be faulted but stuffy backwardness prevents it appreciating modern garden design and it just cannot “get its head around the instant garden. Why are there 27 million gardeners in Britain and only 200,000 members of the RHS?”Lynn Palmer, the RHS head of publicity, insists the society “is not a dynasty”, and it is aware gardening interest goes beyond the traditional RHS membership of older ABC1s.Andrew Colquhoun, the RHS director general, says the critics are behind the times and a governance review is being done. Membership has risen to 280,000 (from 150,000 in 1990) and he estimates there are up to six million “serious” gardeners to be reached. He also believes the society is south-east England-dominated.Stephen Bennett, the RHS shows director, says demands that Chelsea allow nurserymen to sell plants is “tricky”. There is just not the room to store stock, he insists, and fewer than half of the 100 nurserymen invited want change.

Both men say Chelsea would “lose something” if rampant commercialism crept in.Many exhibitors do seem content. The Alpine Garden Society has brought in 60 tonnes of rock to create a stunning mountain scene. Next door, Leyhill Open Prison, an unusual but regular prizewinner, has created a garden with mine shaft and pithead to demonstrate how nature reclaims land ravaged by the industrial revolution. Its title is appropriate, “Time – the healer.”Jean Robinson, who flew in with the Barbados Horticultural Society, says: “I don’t care what others say. I am a horticulturist and I’ve already got my eye on some gorgeous bromeliads over there.”. The Sultan of Brunei might have to sell some or all of his London property portfolio to make amends for his playboy brother’s profligacy.

A number of the capital’s most famous landmarks may come on to the market. There can certainly be few more expensive examples of paying off a younger brother’s debts.The property portfolio includes Embankment Place, which was put up for sale a few months ago with a price tag of £240m, but was later taken off the market; the former Playboy Club, which Prince Jefri bought for £50m; Asprey jewellers in Bond Street, which he bought for £243m; and Cunard House, a £100m office block in the City. That belongs to the Sultan rather than his brother, as does the Dorchester Hotel.Prince Jefri’s assets were frozen after the Sultan obtained a court order against him, and have now been handed to the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA), controlled by the Sultan.Prince Jefri, who intended to restore the old Playboy Club to its former alleged glory, lived a high-cost, playboy lifestyle, spending a fortune on a collection of idiosyncratic possessions such as his yacht called Tits and its two tenders, Nipple 1 and Nipple 2.In fact he had several yachts, though not all with such lurid names, 2,000 cars, 17 aircraft and vast quantities of jewellery. The Prince had been head of the BIA, the government body set up to invest the money the island state generates from oil sales. But Prince Jefri was disowned by the Sultan earlier this year.The Sultan accused him of using the investment agency’s money to buy properties for his private company Amadeo, which collapsed last year with debts of over £3bn.The Sultan then obtained a court order to freeze his brother’s assets and, after a three-month court battle, the brothers reached an out-of-court settlement a fortnight ago.During the legal battle Prince Jefri had to make do on a £200,000 a-month allowance from his brother, although he argued that his expenses were at least £300,000. When he asked for a rise, the country’s chief justice denied his request, noting that the prince had an “extremely expensive lifestyle” and had just spent £1,200 on new bedsheets.The prince had pleaded in return that he had four wives and 35 children plus a considerable transportation fleet to maintain.Under the terms of the court agreement, Prince Jefri’s assets have been handed over to the BIA, which is now back under the Sultan’s control. It is understood he might now sell some or all of the buildings to pay off some of the creditors.The Sultan’s official spokesman said at the weekend there were no plans to sell the Dorchester Hotel.He added: “The two men [the Sultan and his brother] were very close.

They played badminton every morning and phoned each other several times a day.”When families fall out it can be quite dramatic When you are running a country, it can also be very public But there will now be a coming together of the family.”. The housing benefit system is in serious crisis in many parts of the country, resulting in thousands of old or vulnerable tenants facing eviction orders, according to agencies dealing with the problem. The housing benefit system is in serious crisis in many parts of the country, resulting in thousands of old or vulnerable tenants facing eviction orders, according to agencies dealing with the problem.
The failure of councils to pay claimants’ rents for months, blamed in part on new government anti-fraud measures, is also deterring private landlords from taking tenants on housing benefits.Liz Phelps, social policy officer of the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux (Nacab) says: “The housing benefit system is in crisis. Evidence gathered from our bureaux demonstrates how administrative failures, combined with the complexity and unfairness of some of the regulations, mean that too often the housing benefit scheme is a key factor in causing rent arrears and homelessness rather than preventing them.”Matthew Waters, policy officer for Shelter, agrees.

“There are areas where benefit administration is remarkably poor and creates arrears for tenants and leads to evictions and homelessness.”According to such housing advisers, it is taking up to eight months for housing benefit claims to be assessed and paid in some areas. The result is that tenants are being taken to court by landlords to get possession orders. “In the case of council and housing association landlords this is primarily a device to force councils to pay up outstanding benefit arrears. But court action is putting our clients under enormous additional pressure and requiring them to pay court costs. In the case of private landlords, tenants are actually being evicted because of these delays,” says Ms Phelps.”Many private landlords now refuse to let to people on housing benefit altogether, whilst in the social rented sector possession action has increased significantly.”The housing benefit system has been riddled with fraud in the past and the Government is attempting to crack down, with vigorous identification policies for claimants. But campaigners, councils and private companies all agree that the new anti-fraud system – the verification framework (VF) – introduced last year has slowed the system drastically.More than 100 councils have introduced the new system and some are reporting that backlogs, a problem they got rid of years ago, are returning because they underestimated the impact of proof requirements under VF.

Trading was again active, although well below Monday’s levels. She wasn’t ill-advised (she had some of the best agent-therapists in the business), but she had the kind of mulish small- town-girl in Tinseltown mind that couldn’t face doing bigger (better?) things than she’d done: not until she was sure she could do them and still be the big, blowsy sexpot.

But the protagonist is not a typical Francis character: he is not a banker turned racehorse trainer or jockey turned sleuth, but a solicitor. When Ken Dodd says ‘We were always too busy’ to explain why he never married, Dr Clare follows it up remorselessly to clarify what ‘too busy’ really means. In a comment reminiscent of his ‘I am not aware of any errors I might have made’ following England’s 4-0 thrashing by Australia in the summer of 1989, Dexter said: ‘They (the MCC dissidents) assume there is a lot of support for what they are doing, but we don’t know that. So what one often hears is some sort of compromise: ‘period’ insights adapted to the modern instrument – fascinating to some; dust and ashes to both the purist and the romantic traditionalist.

He’s been struggling with the injury and now he’s had an operation to rectify the problem. We look forward to having him back as quickly as possible.”Shearer, who cost Newcastle a world record pounds 15m when they bought him from Blackburn last summer, was out of action for just over a month after surgery in the wake of the 5-0 defeat of Manchester United on 20 October.He missed England’s 2-0 victory in Georgia in a World Cup qualifier and six Newcastle games, only two of which were won, before returning for the 1-1 draw at Chelsea on 23 November. Since then, Shearer has scored 15 goals in 18 games, taking his tally for the season to 23 and reviving Newcastle’s title hopes in the process. That operation followed another last May, which at one time threatened his place in the England squad for the European Championship finals. He recovered to play a key role, but the surgery proved to be only a temporary success.Certainly, the England coach suggested yesterday that all has not been well with his principal striker for some time when he admitted the latest operation had been inevitable. “I’ve been aware of the problem and there’s no doubt that it needed to be dealt with,” he said.

“Alan has kept me informed of his plans over recent days and Kenny Dalglish, and I want him back as soon as possible.”Shearer played in the 1-0 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday which lifted Newcastle to third place, six points adrift of leaders Manchester United with a game in hand. He had a quiet game, however, and his failure to get a goal ended his hopes of scoring against all 19 Premiership opponents this season, a feat for which the bookmakers had offered odds of 500-1 at the start of the season.Dalglish has Faustino Asprilla to come in and partner Les Ferdinand, but his attacking options have been reduced by the sale of Darren Huckerby to Coventry shortly before Kevin Keegan’s departure and that of Paul Kitson to West Ham two weeks ago.Seaman, who first felt pain in his knee when he slipped while getting to his feet after stretching out on the floor to watch television, played in Arsenal’s FA Cup defeat by Leeds three weeks ago despite the pain.

Rugby Union

Jack Rowell stopped short of openly criticising Fran Cotton’s initial Lions selection yesterday, but the England coach dropped enough hints to suggest that he was not remotely amused by the omission of his entire threequarter line. Will Carling omitted himself, of course, but Rowell made a strong point of speaking up for the others.
The failure of Phil de Glanville, Jon Sleightholme and Tony Underwood to make Cotton’s preliminary party of 62 caused so much fuss last week that Rowell, who has fielded more than his fair share of flak in recent months, must have felt grateful to the selectors for taking their turn in the firing line.

Yesterday, however, it was time to put his head above the parapet once again.Rowell’s heartfelt defence of De Glanville’s contribution as England captain was particularly pointed. “I’m not saying Phil is any better or worse a player than John Dawes was, but he’s our equivalent,” he asserted. A choice of comparison could not have been more loaded for Dawes, often under-valued as a centre by his own Welsh countrymen, who captained the legendary Lions in New Zealand in 1971.”What is important for all three players is that they perform well for England,” continued Rowell “That is the best way forward to a Lions place this summer. Knowing the three as I do, I think the events of the last week will make them more determined. Tony Underwood played the best game of rugby I’ve ever seen from him in Ireland 11 days ago and while I haven’t discussed the Lions with him or anyone else, I know they’ll give even more than usual against France.”Worryingly, De Glanville and four colleagues were still hampered by injury yesterday and will require treatment before Saturday’s Five Nations confrontation at Twickenham. The captain, struggling with ankle problems sustained during Bath’s weekend victory at Bristol, was joined on the casualty list by Martin Johnson, the Leicester lock, and Richard Hill, the Saracens flanker, both with similar ailments.

Simon Shaw, the Bristol second row, and Mike Catt, the reserve outside-half from Bath, also complained of shoulder and calf conditions respectively.Although Hill and Catt were unable to take any part in yesterday’s session – the other three just about coped with light duties – Rowell was confident of fielding his selected side against the French. “People tend to get themselves up for an England match, especially one of this magnitude,” he said.”The French are always dangerous, frightening even, particularly when they get their fluent multi-handling game going. It seems to me that Jean-Claude Skrela and Pierre Villepreux, have relaunched the side with their coaching. They do not appear to be as constrained mentally as they have been in previous years and if we are not at our best, we could find ourselves leaking points.”Aware of the most recent taunts aimed at England – that they are either incapable of, or unwilling to, play fast, adventurous rugby without spending the first hour of a match squeezing the breath from the opposition – Rowell confirmed that he would be seeking early progress on Saturday.”We need to settle more quickly and play more accurately,” he said. “We started scrappily against the Irish, and we have already talked about that amongst ourselves I know we can be untidy and give things away If you do that against the French you are playing with fire. We need to perform with the meanness of the best New Zealand sides.”If England can live up to that demand against the Tricolores, a Grand Slam will be theirs for the taking.Tait returns, page 26.

Gareth R Thomas, asking a question about the range of ticket prices in London, asked the minister to comment on the possibility of “yet another Tory party performance of Julius Caesar” in the event of Michael Portillo winning the Kensington by-election. Eric Forth, champing at the bit on the Tory benches, couldn’t restrain his disgust at this fumbled opportunity; “Oh,” he whinnied, “absolutely sickening!”There was worse to come. But no, he wanted to say something pious about Kettering mini-rugby club. He might have asked the minister what hobbies Lord Archer could take up to while away the lonely hours of leisure he now finds at his disposal. “If Express Newspapers can show that Mr Francis and Lord Archer conspired to ‘injure’ the newspaper then they can be made to pay back the pounds 500,000, plus interest After 12 years that is a hell of a lot of money.”. Who would be the first to make a joke about the disgraced Conservative candidate for London mayor and exactly how long would it take them to get to the line?

Not a lot of money was resting on a quick race. The going was soft – questions on Culture, Media and Sport – and the punter’s favourite, Dennis Skinner, had been withdrawn due to illness.

Some of the more promising horses were not in the running either, since, however tempted they might be, Tories were unlikely to join the race.
Early furlongs were not promising. Phil Sawford was the first Labour runner out of the gates and looked to have the perfect opportunity to finish things before they really began. Surely his tabled question, about the role of arts and sport in tackling social exclusion, gave him an unassailable lead?It would have been child’s play to give the supplementary an Archeresque twist. Mr Hill added that he believed that some form of legal action against Lord Archer was inevitable.”When you go to court you expect that all the evidence will be heard and you expect the truth will be told. But in fact, all the evidence was not heard, because if the jury had known that Jeffrey Archer had persuaded his friend to lie for him, they wouldn’t have been prepared to believe the rest of the things that he said.”The paper, which is owned by Express Newspapers, would be pursuing the issue, he insisted. Legal experts said that while criminal charges were unlikely, a civil case could probably be brought.Mark Stephens, of the London media law firm Stephens Innocent, thought that while the police would investigate the matter thoroughly, a case of attempting to pervert the course of justice would not even get into court.”I suspect that at the end of the day the Crown Prosecution Service will say that there is a less than a 50 per cent chance of a successful prosecution – these cases are notoriously difficult to make stick – and in those circumstances we will not see Jeffrey Archer in jail,” said Mr Stephens.But he added that the Daily Star’s owners could launch a “conspiracy to injure” suit, even though the lies were never heard in court. Officers from the Organised Crime Group, responsible for conducting a similar investigation into lies told by Jonathan Aitken, are understood to have met yesterday to discuss the allegations.But Mr Hill also demanded in a front-page leader column in yesterday’s paper that Lord Archer pay pounds 3m in recompense.

Peter Hill, the newspaper’s editor, said that this could result in charges of conspiracy to commit perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The Daily Star, which Lord Archer successfully sued for pounds 500,000 plus costs in 1987, has lodged an official complaint with police over his admission that he asked a friend, Ted Francis, to lie on his behalf.
Last night the newspaper announced that it was to appeal against the 1987 libel trial verdict. AS SENIOR officers at Scotland Yard met yesterday to discuss their next move in the case, speculation grew that even if Lord Archer of Weston-super-Mare is not prosecuted on criminal charges, he could still face millions of pounds in damages from a civil action. He will retain his job as president of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.Most likely option is that he will throw himself into writing his novels, which rescued him from his first, catastrophic downfall in 1974 when he was declared bankrupt.. He raised a “fortune” for Oxfam in its early days and substantial funds for Kurdish refugees after the Gulf War.He could now use his skills to help a range of charities, although it is doubtful any high-profile organisation would take him on in an official capacity.As a former sprinter for Oxford University and Great Britain, he has always retained an interest in sport and would have the administrative background to run a major sporting body. “There is never an end for Jeffrey, just another chapter.”Now that the politics appears finally over, Lord Archer may simply throw himself into some of his other pet projects.

William Hague in effect read the last rites over his political career last night by withdrawing the whip from him in the House of Lords and instigating an inquiry into allegations against him.
Yet, like Bill Clinton and Peter Mandelson, the millionaire novelist is a Comeback Kid par excellence and his friends were declaring that he was not quite finished yet.”He has creativity and vision and energy and he is going to be coming back and using that because that’s the whole point of his life,” said Stephan Shakespeare, his press spokesman. He clearly did wrong but I think the newspapers that originally entrapped him were badly in the wrong as well I think that was utterly disgraceful. I am still his friend and I have nothing to add.”Ivan Massow, head of the Tory Mayoral policy committee, added: “Jeffrey’s a remarkable person When you meet him, he is larger than life. He wins you over and he promised he was clean.”Tory party chairman Michael Ancram said: “I talked to Jeffrey Archer about the ethics and integrity committee and he assured me there was nothing for the committee to address. We can all be wise with the benefit of hindsight.” Sir Timothy Kitson, a senior Tory MP, had tried to warn Mr Ancram, but had been rebuffed. “I felt I was knocking my head against a brick wall.”Many will say Mr Ancram and his senior colleagues, instead of talking about hindsight, should have shown was a greater degree of foresight..

HAVING SPENT every waking hour of the past two years, plus up to pounds 1m on his campaign to become elected mayor of London, the immediate future looks bleak for Jeffrey Archer. Gyles Brandreth, broadcaster and Tory MP said: “Jeffrey has made fools of those of us who have defended him all down the years, but we’ll get over it.” A few, such as Lord Lamont, gave equivocal support, saying: “I am very sorry for Jeffrey. John Humphrys is sometimes present, although this had not stopped him from giving Lord Archer a torrid time BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.But the politicians are under the spotlight for falling for the Archer line Most are saying nothing A few who did, talked of being let down. know what I mean Harry.” Other showbusiness invitees to Lord Archer’s parties include Terry Wogan, Sir Donald Sinden, Jim Davidson, Selina Scott, Nigel Havers, Clive James, Anne Diamond, Jane Asher and her cartoonist husband Gerald Scarfe.Influential voices in the media are also represented including David Frost, Andrew Neil, Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore, The Guardian’s political editor Michael White and the BBC’s political editor Robin Oakley.

Elizabeth Taylor posted a message on Twitter Monday denying rumors she is engaged to her manager.

The move means that only Scotland, Wales and London will be guaranteed any form of directly elected body. Senior Labour figures are sceptical that any others will be created, although some believe that support for a northern assembly will be powerful enough to overcome the three-tier obstacle.
The decision to backtrack follows the attack on Labour plans at the turn of the year, when Conservatives pilloried them as costly and bureaucratic. That will be backed by the Opposition.Sir Richard will also call for annual bonuses for directors to be linked to performance and for share options and other incentive schemes to be approved by shareholders.. The disclosure comes on the eve of the anxiously awaited report into executive pay, chaired by Sir Richard Greenbury, chairman of Marks & Spencer. Time Out said it intended to publish an article about the management of Sane next week. It would not be repeating the allegations covered by the court order..

But Ms Wallace and the drafted-in helpers did not see eye-to-eye; she felt they were not experienced mental charity workers and were trying to reorganise Sane’s affairs. She has made no secret of the fact that she has been suffering from cancer, but was outraged that her private records were passed to the magazine.When she first discovered that she was ill, Sane’s trustees, led by Lord Mottistone, decided to recruit extra fund-raisers to assist her. He is also suing for the return of documents and seeking damages for breach of confidence.However, the magazine does intend to publish details of financial help which the charity receives from Sandoz, the Swiss drug company. Ms Wallace said yesterday that she accepted this: in common with most other medical charities Sane was given financial help by pharmaceutical companies.

These sums were only a small percentage of the charity’s total funding – last year’s donation was just two per cent of Sane’s income.Much of Sane’s money comes from donations from individual members of the public, although it has also secured the patronage of high-profile names.Among the contributors to the Prince of Wales research centre fund are King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and Greek shipowner Stamatia Xylas, who each gave pounds 1.75m, and the Sultan of Brunei who gave pounds 1m.The centre at Warneford psychiatric hospital, Oxford, is named after its patron.The battle with Time Out is the latest in a series of problems for Ms Wallace. In 1991-92 Sandoz gave pounds 13,000 to Sane; in 1992-93 pounds 57,000 and in 1993- 94 pounds 57,400. Following a court apperance last week, the magazine was prevented from publishing several of its claims, which Ms Wallace says are untrue.Lord Mottistone, the Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight and a former naval officer, obtained a separate injunction to prevent Time Out publishing, revealing or disclosing to any third party other than the police or other authorities any confidential information belonging to him and Sane, including documents sent to Time Out anonymously. Last Friday after a week of legal argument she obtained a court order against Time Out. Advised by Peter Carter-Ruck and Partners, the leading London libel solicitors and Charles Gray QC, and supported by Lord Mottistone, Sane’s chairman, she forced the magazine to give an undertaking not to publish certain allegations without giving her 48 hours notice.Time Out had obtained copies of Sane documents and had been contacted by former and current members of the charity’s staff.

Since she gave up writing she has concentrated her energies on campaigning to help schizophrenics and raising pounds 9m to build the Prince of Wales International Centre for Research into Schizophrenia and Depression. She believes the documents, which contain details of her medical treatment for breast cancer, were passed to the London magazine Time Out.
Ms Wallace formed Sane six years ago after an award-winning career as an investigative journalist. MANAGEMENT of the national schizophrenia charity, Sane, has plunged into crisis following a breakdown in relations between Marjorie Wallace, the society’s celebrated chief executive, and some of her staff. Police are investigating the theft of documents from Sane’s central London headquarters and anonymous telephone threats made to Ms Wallace.

Not surprisingly, the DSPCA has been a strong supporter of the new licensing system.The problem, though, is that the law looks much more like an attempt to eradicate the urban horse than an effort to control abuses. The whole thing reached a point where something had to be done. Half-wild horses roaming the parks and fouling the roads are not good for old people, small children or general hygiene. Once a month, in the Smithfield area of north Dublin there is an almost medieval horse fair, at which Travellers, again, are a prominent presence. Men with green wellingtons and Range Rovers bargain for the best of the horseflesh, but there are plenty of ponies left for the kids to buy for little more than the cost of a pair of designer trainers. Whereas Travellers have long been despised and discriminated against by mainstream society, many of those growing up on the margins of Ireland’s economic miracle didn’t feel particularly mainstream either.And the third factor is the simplest one – the easy availability of cheap horses. What is fascinating, though, is that kids from the settled community had no difficulty identifying themselves with this aspect of Traveller culture.

The horses that used to pull caravans around country roads ended up tethered in the gardens of council houses. Most of that vanished in the 1970s, but it left enough families with a recent tradition of keeping horses to make the idea plausible.A second piece of the explanation lies with Travellers, Ireland’s ethnic nomads. Many Traveller families were settled in the outer suburbs of the cities and some retained the love of horses that has long been a central part of their culture. Milk and coal were delivered by horse; scrap was collected the same way. And the divide between city and country was still blurry – some of our neighbours kept hens in their back gardens, one local man even kept pigs.

When I was growing up in the Crumlin housing estate, then on the outer limits of the city, in the 1960s, horses were not an unusual sight. In Ireland, horse ownership is generally the prerogative of farmers and of the wealthy business and professional class. Quite how it became fashionable among the children of the urban dispossessed is not entirely clear, but three pieces of what is probably a more complex explanation can be discerned.One is that, because Dublin was much less intensively industrialised than similar-sized British cities, working horses were around much later. And if they don’t, the law provides that their horses be impounded and eventually destroyed. The pony kids, long identified with a Wild-West image of Dublin suburbia, are now to become literal outlaws. And in the process, the framers of the law have set up a whole series of culture clashes – between rich and poor, between the old and the young, and between the modern Celtic Tiger economy and the more angular, less respectable place from which it has emerged.The suburban horse culture is a fascinating example of what happens when the poor appropriate the pleasures of the rich. But licences will not be issued unless the horses are kept in well-regulated stables and unless the owner is over 16 years old.
Most of the suburban equestrians are too young and too poor to be able to meet these conditions.

According to the new law, horses have to be licensed (at a cost of pounds 25) and must have a microchip implanted in one ear to identify the owner. The Control of Horses Act, though, has just come into effect in Dublin and it may mark the end of the phenomenon. In colloquial speech, horse is another word for heroin. And in the bleak outer suburbs of Dublin, horses are a substitute for heroin, an alternative source of cheap thrills for bored, alienated kids. In Ballyfermot and Ballymun, Clondalkin and Finglas, the large public housing estates that ring the city, an extraordinary equestrian culture has evolved spontaneously in the past decade.

“The darkest hour and a half’s comedy on the Fringe” is how the local listings magazine described it.But if his show is dark, then Hughes’s debut novel, The Detainees, published a week on Monday, can only be described as black.

In other words, it’s not the usual kind of gagfest you might expect from a comedian writing a novel It’s powerful stuff nonetheless.
