 Compromises of
Coalition Government
How quickly seemingly
entrenched political differences can fade when circumstances change. Three months on from a General Election
campaign in which the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats were attacking the
policy plans of the other, now it is hard to find a single politician in either
party willing to say something negative about their onetime campaign rivals.
Of course
election campaigns are a unique form of political theatre. Parties fight to win votes by emphasising policy
differences and criticising the agenda of their opponents even when little of
substance separates them. But the
contortions of politicians in the new coalition government as they try to
explain that perhaps the Liberal Democrats had a point, or that this
Conservative idea wasn't so bad after all, makes for an amusing spectacle. As
one Liberal Democrat, now a Cabinet Minister in the new Coalition government
put it, politicians will have to get used to "the extremely nutritious diet of
eating their words."

 Tax bill that drove Derrick
Bird to mass murder: He feared undeclared £60k would put him in jail
Mass murderer Derrick Bird
was tipped over the edge by a tax probe into £60,000 of undeclared earnings
which he feared would see him go to jail.
Increasingly desperate and
drinking heavily, Bird had money problems that led to a bitter dispute with his
twin David, who was the first of his 12 victims.
The 52-year-old's next
victim was solicitor Kevin Commons, who he thought was colluding with his family to
cheat him out of his mother's £96,000 inheritance.
He wanted the money to clear
an Inland Revenue tax demand which exceeded £10,000. (Read more: here)
