MILLIONS of Britons face
living in poverty for decades
as the nations pensions crisis
combines with a boom in life
expectancy, experts warned
last night.
Government gures reveal that
11 million people alive today will live
until at least their 100th birthday.
But analysts fear that unless the
pensions system undergoes root-and-
branch reform, a ticking timebomb of
penury awaits many retirees.
Dr Ros Altmann, director general
of Saga and a former Government
pensions adviser, said: Our pensions
policy has been left to lag behind reality
for far too long.
The last Labour government tinkered
and ddled with our outdated, inade-
quate pension system and has left us
with a massive crisis.
We absolutely must not delay in mak-
ing proper reform a priority. We must
ensure it pays to save and that working
part-time in later years is worthwhile.
Living longer is tremendous news but
if it is going to mean decades in penury,
we will all suffer.
Medical advances, improved diets and
a stronger emphasis on health will all

Britain to lead Libya rescue mission
9pJXiX;`ofe
Living longers good
but well have to pay
fk0M Pk0 0N
contribute towards longer
life expectancy. More than a
quarter of under 16s alive
today or 3.3 million will
live to be 100, according to
analysis by the Department
for Work and Pensions.
Some 5.4 million of people
aged between 17 and 50 will
also reach their centenary, as
will 1.4 million of current 51
to 65-year-olds and more
than 900,000 of the over 65s.
It adds up to a total of
11 million people living in
Britain today who are
expected to reach 100.
But without proper sav-
ings many of these people
face having to work for longer
or a life on the breadline.
Joanne Segars, chief exec-
utive of the National Associ-
ation of Pension Funds, said:
Its fantastic there are mil-
lions of centenarians in the
pipeline but this will also
raise the pressure on the
UKs already-strained pen-
sion system. An ageing popu-
lation is one of the toughest
challenges our society faces.
Alarmingly, young people
are putting off saving for
retirement. They either cant
afford it or old age seems too
far away to think about.
Saving needs to start from
an early age and its crucial
we create a system that
encourages people to do so.
Separate research reveals
that a third of workers in
their 50s have no idea when
they will be able to retire.
Almost three-quarters will
have to continue working
past their desired retirement
age, according to a poll by
recruitment rm Mature
Accountants.com.
Research by Prudential
last week estimated that two
million people will have to
work into their old age in
order to pay the bills.
Britains over-complicated
retirement system is also
crumbling under the weight
of an ageing population.
Many companies are
closing their generous nal
salary schemes as they are
too expensive to administer,
while new rules will see
public sector workers having
to pay more into their
pensions and work for
longer.
In an attempt to head off
an impending crisis, from
next year employees will be
automatically enrolled into a
workplace pension scheme
requiring contributions from
both employer and worker.
The Government also
plans to introduce a at rate
140-a-week pension without
means testing in a bid to per-
suade people to save more.
The default retirement age,
which allowed rms to force
out staff at 65, has been
abolished and the state
pension age increased to 66
by 2020 for both sexes.
Michelle Mitchell, director
of Age UK, said: Pensions
are often the furthest thing
from our minds when we are
younger but the easiest way
to build up a good pension is
to start young.
If saving for retirement
becomes an accepted part of
workplace culture from a
young age, then those young-
sters who will see 100 are
more likely to enjoy a good
standard of retirement.
Pensions minister Steve
Webb said: These gures
really highlight how life
expectancy in this country is
changing. Millions of people
will be spending over a third
of their lives in retirement.
Thats why were reform-
ing the state pension system.
We want to make it fair and
sustainable for future gener-
ations and help millions save
into a workplace pension,
many for the rst time.

SUPPOSE you were
going on a summer
holiday but didnt take
any spending money
with you. People would
think you were mad
and you certainly
wouldnt have much fun.
But thats the reckless
approach our society is
taking towards paying
for its older age. And
retirement doesnt last
just two weeks in the
summer these days its
typically over 20 years.
Of course, it is brilliant
that we are all living
longer and that so many
young people will hit
their 100th birthday.
The problem is that we
arent saving enough for
retirement. A poll by
YouGov for the National
Association of Pension
Funds showed that 43
per cent of people who
have yet to retire say
they cannot afford to
save for their old age.
That translates into
over 14 million people
who are not putting
anything aside, and who
could end up relying on
the state pension.
Yes, these are tough
economic times and
people have to prioritise
but too little importance
is placed on pensions.
There have been some
solid improvements to
the state pension, and
the Government has
also made it easier for
people to work longer.
Starting next year,
workers will also be
automatically put into a
workplace pension.
But it is still not
enough. People need to
be encouraged to save
into a work pension,
where they benet from
tax breaks and employer
contributions.
We need to rethink our
approach to retirement.
Otherwise too many of
todays children risk
spending their 100th
birthday in poverty.

BRITAIN is to spearhead a
rescue mission for thousands
of foreign workers trapped in
the Libyan city of Misrata.
Colonel Gaddas forces
yesterday continued to bom-
bard the port the farthest
point west under rebel con-
trol as the two-month siege
showed no sign of ending.
International Develop-
ment Secretary Andrew
Mitchell announced that
Britain would undertake a
1.5million mission to
bring 5,000 foreign workers
out of Misrata.
At a UN meeting in New
York yesterday he said:
Thousands of foreign work-
ers have managed to reach
the port but nd themselves
at terrible risk with no way to
get out.
These evacuations will
take them to safety and help
reduce the demand for the
very limited supplies of food,
water and medical supplies.
He added: British support
will mean medical supplies
and highly trained teams get
into the worse-hit areas,
which could mean the differ-
ence between life and death
for many people.
Aid workers have reported
shortages of food, power,
water and medicine, as forces
loyal to Gadda intensify
their onslaught.
At least four civilians are
believed to have died yester-
day as government forces
unleashed a fresh assault,
amid claims they are now
using banned cluster bombs.
Over the weekend the
Libyan government agreed
to give the UN access to the
besieged city of 300,000 but
refused to guarantee a halt
to hostilities during any
rescue mission, according to
the UNs humanitarian chief,
Baroness Amos.
Yesterday a chartered ship
rescued almost 1,000 foreign
workers mostly weak and
dehydrated migrants from
Ghana, the Philippines and
Ukraine and wounded Lib-
yans, including a baby who
had been shot in the face.
It was heading for the rebel
stronghold Benghazi. It is not
known where the ships will
take the evacuees but it is
intended they will eventually
return to their countries.

Baking was
the last
thing on
Nigellas
mind as
she took to
the surf
with Maria,
above.
The TV
cook spent
her day on
Sydneys
Bondi
Beach
fending
off more
odd looks
than sun
rays
MOST women would make do
with high factor sun cream, a
parasol or a big straw hat to
protect them from the sun.
Nigella Lawson, however, went
for a full-scale cover-up, splashing
about in a head-to-toe burkini
to protect her pale skin from the
rays while she went bathing on
holiday in Australia this week.
The dark, body-covering dress
is usually favoured by Muslim
women to protect their modesty.
After breakfasting on eggs at a
cafe on Sydneys Bondi Beach,
televisions kitchen goddess and
her friend, British comedienne
Maria McErlane, decided to make
a splash by taking to the surf.
But while Maria looked toned
and comfortable in a string bikini,
Nigella, 51, insisted on staying in
her cumbersome outt for the rest
of the day, in and out of the sea.
Her agent explained: Nigella
was wearing the garment solely
for protection against the sun.
Its an outt worn to avoid sun-
burn, and no more than that, while
Nigella enjoys a family holiday.
Nigella is combining her beach
break with a one-off appearance
on Australian Masterchef, on
which she will be a guest judge.
Over the years, the cook and
writer has become famous for her
creamy porcelain skin, which she
is said to be religious about pro-
tecting from the sun.
Nigellas skin is said to be highly
sensitive to strong sunlight. The
former beauty writer is said to rely
on skin care expert Vaishaly Patel
to keep it looking in top condition.
Most burkinis offer built-in sun
protection as high as Factor 50 in
some cases, although the garment
has not been without controversy.
In 2009, a woman wearing one in
France was stopped from swim-
ming in a public pool. Other styles
of Islamic swimwear include the
veilkini and mycozzie, the suit
worn in the French incident.
Ironically, Bondi beach is famed
as the place where women go out
of their way to show off their
curves. In 2007 more than 100
women set the Guinness World
Record there for the largest simul-
taneous bikini photo shoot.
9p<c`jXIfZ_\
J_fnYlj`e\jj<[`kfi
AS discreet beach attire goes,
this has to be up there with
Borats Mankini.
The tent-like swimwear
certainly takes the idea of
sinless sun to a whole new level.
With its UV protective fabric as
a means to shield Nigella
Lawsons perfect porcelain skin
against the erce Aussie rays, it
is nothing if not thorough, but
surely a oor-length kaftan,
Factor 50 and a broad-brimmed
sun hat would do the same.
The clingy polyester does
nothing for her gure yet the
domestic goddess is not alone in
her pursuit of practical
swimwear. Apparently a host of
non-Muslim bathers are seeking
out the full cover-up look.
Celebrity make up artist Sonia
Beckford, who worked with
Nigella for two years, says: She
has fantastic skin and the reason
she looks so young for her age is
because she does stay out of the
sun. She is very happy with her
complexion and her whole body.
When you consider that her
previous husband died of cancer,
I am sure she is very aware of the
damage the sun can do.
The Burquini trademark is the
brainchild of Aheda Zanetti who
migrated to Australia from
Lebanon as a child.
After watching a group of
Muslim girls struggle to play
netball, she was inspired to
create a lightweight hooded
sports suit, the hijood, which she
adapted into an aquatic version.
Lightweight and easy to move
in, it accords with Islamic laws
that require women to dress
modestly and eliminates the risk
of drowning when the yards of
fabric used in traditional burkas
get soaked.
But as for being a way of going
incognito on the beach, it really
couldnt attract more attention.

DEFIANT Vince Cable yesterday stood
by his criticism of the Prime Minister
over immigration but said he did not
expect to be sacked and had no plans
to quit.
The Business Secretary warned
David Cameron against trying to move
him to another post but boasted he
could double his income if he
returned to the back benches in
Parliament.
Last week the senior Lib Dem
accused Cameron of being unwise in
making a speech about the need to
control immigration.
Mr Cable said in an interview
broadcast yesterday that he did not
regret his comments on the Prime
Ministers speech and that it had been
necessary to say something about the
way it was expressed.
He added that there was a constant
balance to be struck in the coalition
between expressing a collective,
agreed view of government while
maintaining the identity of our party.

DAVID Cameron yesterday urged every-
one in Britain to reject ditching the
current voting system in the May 5 refer-
endum and not let the country sleep-
walk into damaging change.
In an unprecedented event the
Conservative leader was joined by
Labour heavyweight John Reid, the
former Cabinet minister, to argue for
keeping the rst past the post system
which elects the candidate with the most
votes.
The Prime Minister said people should
follow their gut instincts and reject
calls to change to the Alternative Vote
(AV).
He was concerned that people might
not turn out to vote at all handing the
Yes campaign a victory by default.
Theres a problem which is I think
that millions of people in our country
arent engaged in this argument or
debate at all, he said.
I stopped a group of ve people at a
pub in my constituency at the weekend
and asked what they thought about this
AV referendum, and literally not one of
the ve had heard of it.
There are fears that the balance could
be tipped by pro-change votes in Scot-
land, Wales and Northern Ireland where
people are going to polling stations on
the same day to take part in important
national elections.
In parts of the country where there are
no local or regional elections, turnout
could be low in the referendum.
Earlier, Mr Cameron warned: The big-
gest danger right now is that Britain
sleepwalks into this second-rate system,
waking up on May 6 with a voting system
that damages our democracy. We must
not let that happen so weve got to get
out there and ght and weve got to get
out there and win.
He denounced AV as obscure, unfair
and expensive.
He described it as a voting system that
could hand victory to people who came
third.
Gordon Brown could still have been
Prime Minister under AV, although
Labour decisively lost last years elec-
tion.
And while the sight of John Major
leaving Downing Street after Tony Blairs
1997 landslide was painful for a Tory, it
was right, he said.
Former Home Secretary Lord Reid
also passionately defended the current
rst past the post system, saying AV
was not fair, not equal, and not British.
Earlier, another Labour former Home
Secretary, Alan Johnson, was on a rival
platform with his party leader Ed
Miliband and Lib Dem Business Secre-
tary Vince Cable at an event to press the
case for AV.
Mr Miliband has said he will not cam-
paign alongside Nick Clegg because the
Lib Dem leaders unpopularity would
damage the cause.
This referendum is not about Nick
Clegg, its not about David Cameron, its
not about me. It is a chance to have a
better politics in Britain, Mr Miliband
said.
Noted ballroom dancer Mr Cable joked
that if TVs Strictly Come Dancing were
decided on rst past the post it would
have been over in a week with Ann
Widdecombe deemed the undisputed
choice as the best dancer in Britain.

A SIMPLE jab could be
better than statins at
reducing the effects of
strokes and heart
attacks, scientists say.
A British team has
produced an antibody
that reduces the scar-
ring of the heart and
brain by 60 per cent.
The injection, which
kicks in nine to 12 hours
after an attack, is being
hailed as the biggest
breakthrough ever.
Heart attacks and
strokes can cause huge
tissue damage but most
of it is caused later,
when the circulation is
restored and the bodys
defences start to attack
oxygen-starved cells.
This causes inamma-
tion and 80 per cent of
the permanent damage.
Now researchers at
Leicester University
have made an injection,
which they say stops
the body attacking its
own starved cells.
Professor Wilhelm
Schwaeble, who carried
out the work, said: We
could not believe what
we saw. What is amaz-
ing is that the drug can
be given so long after
the attack.
HOSPITAL chiefs will
pay to y home foreign
patients to stop them
draining money from
the NHS.
The radical move
comes after the Gov-
ernment vowed to end
the scandal of health
tourists.
Andrew Armour,
nance director of Col-
chester Hospital Uni-
versity NHS Trust in
Essex, said: It seems
bizarre but if they need
expensive treatments,
it might be cheaper to
pay for the ight.
Nobody is going to
get left on a trolley in
A&E because they are
not from this country.
The question is how
much longer we can
carry on treating some-
body if they need regu-
lar treatment.
Charlotte Linacre, of
the TaxPayers Alliance,
said: Its admirable
that the trust wants to
tackle this problem but
its utter madness that
their hands are tied.
NHS trusts need to
get visitors to cover
costs because the NHS
is not free taxpayers
have already paid.

Shot dead in gangland
ambush, the British pals
on a holiday of a lifetime

TWO young British men mur-
dered on holiday in Florida may
have been lured to their death in a
gangland ambush.
US detectives believe university
friends James Cooper, 25, and
James Kouzaris, 24, were eeing
for their lives when they were cut
down in a hail of machine gun
re.
Their bullet-ridden bodies were
discovered in a crime-plagued
neighbourhood where tourists
never venture.
One theory being investigated
is that the friends both brilliant
sportsmen thought they were
being given a lift back to their
rented condominium in the fash-
ionable tourist resort of Longboat
Key after spending the night bar-
hopping.
Instead they were driven 12
miles to a rundown housing estate
in an area notorious for drug deal-
ing and gang activity, where
masked gunmen were lying in
wait.
Their bodies were found 50 feet
apart on opposite sides of a back
street in the predominantly
black neighbourhood of Newtown,
Sarasota.
One theory is that the killings
were a gangland initiation rite. A
16-year-old has been arrested.
Last night detectives released
the last ever photos of the friends
taken just hours before they were
killed.

Shawn Tyson, 16, above, and a
sub-machine gun of the type thought
to have been used in the murders
been taken in a bar in downtown
Sarasota, were recovered from a
camera found on the ground near
their bodies.
Police released the photographs
in the hope that witnesses in the
south Florida city will come for-
ward to help build up a picture of
the last few hours of their lives.
Sonja Seymour, 31, who lives on
the street where their bodies were
found, said: I heard that when
they arrived here there were
already some people waiting for
them. They were wearing masks.
The men ran away and they
were shot. I saw one of them lying
in the street on his back with his
arms outstretched. The other was
across the road and lying on his
back.
Police found up to 20 bullet
casings by one of the bodies
believed to have been red by a
small calibre sub-machine gun.
A police source said last night:
We are still trying to determine
why they would want to be in this
area at that time of night.
But devastated relatives denied
the friends both from respecta-
ble middle-class families had
gone to buy drugs.
Mr Kouzariss distraught aunt
Carole, 53, said: He wasnt there
for drugs. Hes as good as gold.
Our James wouldnt mess
around with anything as stupid or
dangerous as that. His family are
very respectable.
The Britons who had been
enjoying a holiday of a lifetime
did not have their own vehicle.
They were still in possession of
cash and did not have any drugs
on them.
Amid the speculation that the
pair could have been killed in an
initiation ritual, Shawn Tyson,
who was just 16 last month, was
charged yesterday over the
murders. It was revealed he had
been arrested for a violent gun
offence just over two weeks ago
when shots were red in an
attempted robbery. As that was
his rst offence he was released
while the case was investigated.
Just a week ago the Britons had
joined Mr Coopers family who
had rented an apartment on the
Gulf Coast. The friends who had
met as students at Shefeld Uni-
versity had planned to stay for
three weeks.
Mr Cooper had celebrated his
birthday just three days before
his murder. Last night relatives
told of the heartbreaking moment
his parents learnt of the tragedy
after frantically trying in vain to
contact him on his mobile phone.
Mr Coopers grandfather
Desmond Walton, 79, told the
Daily Express: They went out in
Florida on Friday evening, as
young men do, but they didnt
come back.
As it was getting late his
mother rang his mobile and got
no answer.
She carried on ringing until the
early hours of the morning and
eventually a policeman answered
it. Sandra is shattered, as are we.
She is uncontrollable.
The family of Mr Kouzaris
said in a statement: James was a
wonderful son. We loved him so
much and we cant believe he
has gone.
Police tape in the street that was scene of the shooting in Florida
JAMES Cooper and James
Kouzaris came from
respectable middle-class
families and had bright futures
ahead of them.
Mr Cooper, a tennis coach
who played against Andy
Murray at a junior event, lived
with his parents, Stanley and
Sandra, in the familys
850,000 country home in
Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire.
He studied at Shefeld
Universitys management
school before becoming a
full-time tennis coach for a
Warwick University-based
company, inspire2coach.
Mr Kouzaris teacher father
Peter and mother Hazel, both
52, live at a 400,000 family
home in Northampton.
He attended Northampton
School for Boys, where he was
captain of the schools rugby
team, before completing a
four-year town planning degree
at Shefeld. He worked for
Northamptonshire County
Council.

BRITAIN is on drought alert
as experts warn water short-
ages are a real and stark dan-
ger this summer after the dri-
est spring for nearly a century.
After two months of virtu-
ally no rain, some parts of the
UK have been as dry as the
Sahara desert at this time of
year making hosepipe bans
inevitable.
With no immediate sign of
heavy rainfall on the way,
experts say the next few weeks
will be critical for water com-
panies, farmers and wildlife.
Reservoir levels in parts of
the country are already well
below average.
Some suppliers are resort-
ing to pumping river water in
to keep them topped up.
Parts of Cambridgeshire had
just 0.14in of rain during the
whole of last month, making
it the driest March since 1929,
according to the Met Ofce,
meaning many days were on a
par with the almost non-exist-
ent rainfall in the Sahara.
The South and South-east
has had only four per cent of
the rainfall it would usually
expect at this time of year
and all areas have had far less
than usual.
Jonathan Powell, senior
forecaster at Positive Weather
Solutions, said: There is a
very stark and real danger of
a drought this summer.
Some places will inevitably
see hosepipe bans at some
point as there is no substan-
tial rainfall on the way.
Met Ofce forecaster Barry
Gromett said: We have had a
very dry March followed by a
pretty dry start to April, just
four per cent of what we would
usually have had by now.
On the back of a pretty dry
winter and very low rainfall for
March and the beginning of
April we would need a whole
months rainfall in the next
two weeks to make it up, and
that isnt going to happen.
South West Water, which
supplies 1.6 million people,
reports two of its reservoirs
are already below 80 per cent
of capacity and says a hose-
pipe ban is not impossible.
Its Burrator reservoir in
Plymouth was standing at only
74 per cent full at its last
reading, against almost 100
per cent this time last year.
Bristol Water, which serves
500,000 customers, said levels
at its reservoirs were 15 per
cent lower than this time last
year despite the pumping of
water from the River Severn.
The dry spell has led to

My death threats hell by Met Office boss

THE countrys weather boss
has received death threats from
global-warming sceptics over
alleged data-xing, he revealed
yesterday.
John Hirst, chief executive of
the Met Ofce, said threats to
kill him were made during the
Climategate furore of 2009.
His researchers had been
accused of manipulating data
to support a theory of man-
made climate change.
Mr Hirst spoke of the threats
during a talk to climate scien-
tists and economists at the
University of Exeter.
He said he then wrote to TV
scientist and climate-change
sceptic Johnny Ball because he
has also been the subject of a
hate campaign.
He said: I wrote to Johnny
Ball and said, I get death
threats too. Its crazy. Why
dont we talk, because if we can
take some of this small p
politics out we might do a
service to the world.
Mr Hirst made reference to
comments made by Mr Ball
72-year-old father of BBC
Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball warning
of global-warming fascists.
He told him these comments
had led to him being mocked,
vilied, besmirched and even
booed off stage.
The pair are due to get
together this week, he revealed.
Climategate blew up after
emails and other material,
stolen from servers at the
University of East Anglias
Climatic Research Unit, were
posted online.
A Met Ofce spokesman
conrmed Mr Hirst had
received the death threats in
several unsavoury emails.
He said the police were not
involved, but added: Emotions
can run high at both ends of
the climate-change debate.

problems for farmers who
cannot get seeds for summer
crops to germinate in the
parched soil.
Rita Exner, from the
National Farmers Retail and
Markets Association, said:
The crops that are going into
the ground now need rain,
plenty of it and very soon.
The Environment Agency
said it would be up to the
water companies to enforce
any hosepipe bans but insisted
we are a way off that yet.

KATE Middleton will eclipse
Princess Diana as the most
beautiful British royal in history
when she weds Prince William, an
opinion poll found yesterday.
The 29-year-old bride-to-be, who
will join the Royal Family when she
marries on April 29, came third, one
place ahead of Diana, in a survey of
127,000 people.
Princess Grace of Monaco, the
late American actress Grace Kelly,
topped the poll, followed by Queen
Rania of Jordan.
The Queens late sister, Princess
Margaret, was the only other female
British royal to make the top 10,
taking ninth spot.
Princess Anne, 60, was the lowest-
ranked royal in the beauty stakes,
scoring slightly fewer votes than
51-year-old Sarah Ferguson, the
Duchess of York.
A similar list of handsome royal
men compiled during the same poll
by dating website BeautifulPeople.
com was topped by Prince Carl
Philip of Sweden, the only son of the
current King Carl XVI Gustaf and
Queen Silvia.
Prince Andrea of Monaco, son of
Princess Caroline, was voted second
and Prince Frederick, heir to the
Danish throne, came third.
Prince Harry, 26, the best man at
this months wedding at Westmin-
ster Abbey, beat his elder brother
William, 28, by one place. The
brothers took fourth and fth spots
respectively.
Their father, Prince Charles, 62,
was voted the 10th best-looking
royal male. But his brother Prince
Andrew, 51, often considered a
lothario, fared less well.
He joined the lowest-ranking
royals for looks trailing slightly
behind King Henry VIII. His father,
Prince Philip, 89, once thought of as
a handsome cove with irresistible
charm, also came near the bottom
on 29 per cent, level with Andrew.
Greg Hodge, managing director of
BeautifulPeople.com, said: Kate
Middleton is no typical beauty.
But her style, deportment and
immaculate grooming have clearly
won her an army of admirers,
propelling her to the same heights
as Princess Grace and Queen Rania.
I think the world is breathing a sigh
of relief that the British monarchy
can only get better looking in
generations to come.
In the womens vote, Diana was
followed by Princess Charlotte of
Monaco, Indian Princess Gayatri
Devi, Princess Madeleine of Sweden,
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark,
then Margaret, and Princess Masako
of Japan at 10th. At the bottom of
the womens ranking was Anne on
14 per cent of votes, followed by
Fergie on 16 per cent, and George
IVs Queen Consort Caroline
of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, then
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall,
63, with 24 per cent of votes.
Princess Beatrice, 22, on 32 per
cent was pipped by one place by
younger sister Princess Eugenie, 21.

DAVID Cameron is to break
with tradition by wearing
a lounge suit instead of
a formal morning suit to

At previous royal

have worn full morning

But Mr Cameron is said
to be keen to shed his

forged after pictures
emerged of him in bow tie
and tails in his Oxford

including Deputy Prime

But James Sleater,

WORKERS threatened with redun-
dancy at mobile phone giant Orange
have been told they can keep their
jobs but only if they move 7,000
miles to the Philippines.
The stunned staff were even told
they would get a rice allowance if
they agreed to transfer from their
homes in the North-east to the
Filipino capital, Manila.
But yesterday as fury spread
among the workforce at the compa-
nys UK call centre in Darlington,
the rm quickly back-tracked.
It claimed a human resources
error had meant 40 customer serv-
ice staff incorrectly being told they
must travel halfway round the world
if they wanted to keep their jobs.
The company, which last year
made 120 employees redundant at
the centre, is in the throes of out-
sourcing its night-time call opera-
tions overseas and has teamed up
with Philippine rm, IBM.
Staff in Darlington receive an
8,000 allowance on top of their
basic salary for night shifts but
employing Filipino staff during their
daytime UK night-time would
result in considerable savings.
So far, a small number of staff have
accepted severance packages, while
others have taken alternative roles
within the company.
Some of those affected have been
placed on special leave on basic
pay while they consider their
options.
One worker, who did not want to
be named, said: It is a complete
joke. No one in their right mind
would want to move to Manila.
When we asked for details of the
transfer package we were handed a
sheet of paper with what the IBM
employees receive, which is less than
200 a month, with a rice allowance
and a laundry allowance. Thats not
a transfer package, its a job
description for someone who works
for IBM in Manila.
A spokesman for the Communica-
tion Workers Union said: Night shift
staff are being told they face redun-
dancy... or an unrealistic relocation
halfway round the world. They are
concerned about their futures. But
last night a spokesman for Orange
said: The information given out
was not done ofcially and we
apologise.
In the case of work t ransferring
locations, the individuals do have
the right to request moving with
that work, and we have a duty of
care to discuss the option. We
recently proposed operational
changes to our night shift customer
services for the Orange brand.
Overnight consumer calls will in
future be handled by an existing
outsource partner in Manila during
their daytime hours. In accordance
with UK employment law, weve
completed a collective consultation
and are holding discussions on an
individual basis.
All 40 of our consumer night shift
team will be offered alternative roles
in the UK or redundancy terms.

N OUTBREAK of
common sense in
modern Britain is such
a rare phenomenon
that you have to pinch
yourself when it
happens. The coalition plans to
do away with best-before dates
on food packaging and will
issue new guidelines for
shoppers confused about
whether food is safe to eat or
should be thrown in the bin.
What on earth took our
leaders so long to work that
one out? Millions of us have
long realised that best-before
dates have, well, exceeded their
shelf life and that its high time
shoppers should be allowed to
exercise their own judgment on
such matters.
The tyrannical nanny state
has indicated that it will loosen
its grip on food labelling
because the waste has reached
what can only be described as
immoral levels. Some ve
million tons of edible produce
are being thrown away in Brit-
ain each year, most of it ending
up in landll sites that are
reaching near capacity, accord-
ing to the Waste and Resources
Action Programme (WRAP).
Dumped food each day
includes ve million potatoes,
4.4million apples, one million
loaves of bread and a million
slices of ham. WRAP also says
1.3million unopened yogurt
pots are thrown out every day,
along with 5,500 whole chickens
and 1.6million bananas.

THREE years after losing the love of
her life to cancer Linda Nolan
condes to Day & Night shes nally
ready to start dating again.
The 51-year-old singer from chart-
topping family act The Nolans was
married to Brian Hudson for 26 years
until his death aged 60 in 2007. Her
mother Maureen died aged 81 a few
months afterwards. And Linda was
grieving for them both while
battling her own breast cancer.
Sometimes when I go out I
think itd be nice to have a
friend or companionship,
reveals Linda. But Im still
struggling to come to terms
with losing Brian. Ive had
the love of my life so Im
just trying to get
through each week. She says putting
together an account of her trauma in
a memoir with her siblings, called
Survivors, was therapeutic.
Id spoken a lot about my breast
cancer, my husband passing away and
losing my mum and dad but it was
when I read it back in print that I
thought, Wow, Ive had a hell of a
life, she says. Ive been lucky but
its also been a tough ride.
Reading chapters by her
sisters Coleen, 46, Bernie, 50,
and Maureen, 55, was
emotional. I cried when I
read about Bernie losing her
daughter Kate and I cried
reading about Coleens
divorce from [actor]
Shane Richie,
because I remember
going through it
with her.

TASTE OF HISTORY: Robert Earl and the Earl of Sandwich
FOODIES can now get their teeth into the
poshest sarnies around. John Montagu,
11th Earl of Sandwich has opened a new
hot sandwich bar in the City of London.
For the venture Montagu, 68, teamed up with
his son Orlando, 40, and restaurateur
Robert Earl, 59, Planet Hollywood founder
and former CEO of the Hard Rock Caf.
This is the rst British sandwich shop for the
Montagus who already have 14 in America.
Anyone wanting a taste of history can opt for
The Original 1762, a sandwich lled with hot
roast beef, cheddar and horseradish sauce, a
tribute to Montagus ancestor who rst ordered
meat to be put between two slices of bread.
Montagu said: I think the 4th Earl would be
thrilled, he was always looking at new
enterprises. But the name is not nearly as
important as the quality of the sandwiches.

A BRITON who moved to
Australia with his family as a
boy of six has been deported
back to the UK after com-
mitting a string of crimes.
Clifford Tucker was put on
a plane to London last night
despite having lived in Aus-
tralia for more than 40 years.
The case has prompted
anger as the swift action by
the Australian authorities
ies in the face of the UKs
stumbling efforts to deport
foreign criminals.
Tucker, 47, served 12 years
in jail for three crimes includ-
ing the attempted murder of
a police ofcer.
This came to the attention
of Australian immigration
ofcers on his return from a
holiday in Bali in 2008.
He declared on his immi-
gration form that he had a
criminal record and the
authorities accused him of
failing a character test.
Eighteen months later,
ofcials cancelled his visa
and put him in a detention
centre in Sydney.
And because he had never
applied for Australian citi-
zenship, they could deport
him to his country of birth.
An appeal against depor-
tation failed last month and
his visa has been cancelled.
The father of three, who
was living in Adelaide, has
been in trouble with the law
since the age of 11. In 1983
he was jailed after opening
re on a police ofcer,
seriously wounding him.

prospect of never seeing his

ITS the question thats
been heard from the
lips of millions of
women does my bum
look big in this?
But why do women
ask it so often? New
research says the
image-conscious
seek reassurance
because its one
part of their anatomy
they can never really
see for themselves.
Well over half
the 1,800 women
questioned in a survey
on behalf of Wizard
Jeans said they
worried more about
their posteriors than
about their breasts or
their stomach.
Fashion expert Sally
Allen of Wizard Jeans,
said: You only have to
watch women trying on
a new pair of jeans to
see that their prime
concern is always the
bit they cant really see
for themselves their
bums. They twist and
turn in front of the
mirror but then,
inevitably, ask for
reassurance.

family again, will be given
2,500 by the Australian
government, which has
arranged six weeks for him
in a London motel.
After that it is expected
the UK taxpayer will be
forced to foot the bill until
he gets a job.
The move makes a mock-
ery of Britains open-door
policy which sees foreign
criminals repeatedly out
immigration rules and return
here time and time again to
continue their criminal lives.
Even when judges order
deportation, they often use
human rights laws and claim
they will come to harm in
their homeland.
The UK Independence
Partys Gerard Batten said
last night: Its absurd that
this man is being sent from
Australia after 40 years. But
it highlights the absurdity
that we cannot deport
foreign criminals who have
been here for ve minutes.
Stephen Kenny, Tuckers
lawyer, argued the order was
unjust because his last con-
viction was more than 10
years ago. He warned that
his client, who suffers from
mental illnesses, could
become suicidal if he were
separated from his family.
Before ying out from
Sydney to London, Tucker
told ABC television he was
shattered at the prospect
of leaving his children. He
said: Ill be setting up Skype
but it wont be the same as
holding them and hugging
them. Ive done so much to
improve myself not drink-
ing, doing voluntary work
yet theyre trying to make
me out to be some sort of
career criminal thats a
danger to society.
Chris Bowen, Australias
immigration minister, said
Tucker failed the character
test in the countrys Migra-
tion Act. Over the past dec-
ade, 13 Britons have been
sent back from Australia,
most on character grounds.

For a couple of years in the early
Nineties Tricky Dicky from East-
Enders was a household name the
kind of soap character you might
have heard of even if you didnt watch
the show. A corrupt market inspector
(the characters real name was
Richard Cole), he sacked Arthur
Fowler, evicted two teenage lovers at
Christmas and shut down Ian Beales
catering business. A heart less loth-
ario he had ings with Kathy Beale
and teenager Bianca Jackson.
Giving the lie to the charge that
soap stars are often one-trick ponies
his character in Corrie could scarcely
have been more different. As hapless,
hopeless pub musician Vernon Tomlin
he was repeatedly jilted and cheated
on by the love of his life Liz McDonald
and was beaten to a pulp by her ex-
husband Jim on the eve of their
wedding. Poetic justice,
some might say.

Her role in Weather-
eld as Sunita Alahan

an arranged marriage she became the
long-suffering girlfriend and then wife
to jack-the-lad grocer Dev. She was
written out in the great cull of 2006

As Rebecca Hopkins on Coronation

Her role in EastEnders was more
enduring. She played Kate Morton,

Phil Mitchell, a sadistic thug with a
face like a red billiard ball, she fell in
love, jacked in her police job and
married him. She later had an affair
with Dirty Den, split up with Phil and
rejoined the police, who turned a
blind eye to her unreliable history.

You would need to be a hardcore
Corrie veteran to remember her all-
too-brief moment in the Weathereld
spotlight when she played Mrs
Parsons (she was so obscure they didnt
bother to give her a rst name). She
was the mother of a boy who received
harmonium lessons from Ena Sharp-
les, appearing in three episodes.
She made up for that obscurity
with her role as Dot Cotton (latterly
Branning), the washerwoman of
Albert Square. Evolving from gossipy,
Bible-bashing bigot to something
much kinder and mellower she is the
enduring tragic-comic heroine of the
soap and a national treasure. Her n-
est hour came in 2008 when she car-
ried an entire episode in monologue,
and has been nominated for a Bafta, a

WHEN police drama
The Bill was axed last
summer there were
howls of protest from
fans. It was harsh for
the acting profession
too, which for years
has depended on the
show for work
because of its
massive turnover in
bit parts.
EastEnders stars
Sid Owen, Patsy
Palmer, Derek Martin,
Gavin Richards,
Jessie Wallace,
Charlie Brooks, Laila
Morse, Rudolph
Walker, Laurie Brett,
Jake Wood and Linda
Henry all had one-off
roles in The Bill before
they hit the big time in
Albert Square. The
same goes for Chris
Gascoyne, David
Neilson, Vicky
Entwistle and Ben
Price from Corrie.
Billy Murray, who
played gangster
Johnny Allen in
EastEnders, was
previously a dodgy
detective-sergeant in
the series. And
Andrew Lancel, now in
the Street as rag-
trader Frank Foster,
played DI Neil Manson
for 15 years.
But mainly the
trafc was in the other
direction, with Sun Hill
nick providing a cosy
niche for axed actors.
Roberta Taylor, who
played Irene Raymond
in EastEnders, was an
inspector in The Bill
while Todd Carty
(miserable Mark
Fowler) played a racist
PC who murdered a
colleague. Russell
Floyd, who played
market inspector
Michael Rose, was a
detective constable
killed off in the
famous Sun Hill re.
Meanwhile Jane
Danson, who has
played Leanne
Battersby in Corrie off
and on since 1997,

MEN are more decisive when making
a choice whereas women are more
open-minded, according to new
research.
A gender gap exists where males
tend to leap to judgments and females
see more shades of grey.
A study of 113 people asked whether
each of 50 objects tted partially, fully
or not at all into certain categories
and found women were 23 per cent
more likely to select the partial one.
The bones-of-contention were ones
likely to stimulate debate such as is a
tomato a fruit? or is paint a tool?
It has been thought that a male/
female split exists but the study says
it is the rst time it has been shown
that men are more likely to leap to
black-or-white conclusions.
Psychologist Dr Zachary Estes, of
Warwick University, said the women
surveyed tended to be much more
nuanced in their responses.

from his 27,000-a-year

College in Manchester in

The science and IT

convicted at the citys

Six others were also

12k for boss groped
by her gay stable boy
A LIVERY yard manageress
has been awarded 12,300 in com-
pensation after being sexually
harassed by a gay stable boy.
James Radcliffe groped 24-year-
old Louise Smith as she tended to
a horse telling her that gay men
loved boobs.
He also dropped his jodhpurs
and underpants after having a
spray tan to ash his white bits
at the shocked brunette.
But when Miss Smith com-
plained to bosses at the St Ives
Equestrian Centre in Bingley, West
Yorks, they refused to believe her
since Radcliffe was deemed as
camp as Christmas.
Miss Smith told an employment
tribunal how Radcliffe, 25, would
regularly sneak up on her and grab
a quick fondle.
She began working at the estate
in June 2008 and was promoted to
manageress a year later by owner
Denise Stephenson, putting her in
charge of nine staff and 40 horses.
She told the Leeds hearing:
Managing a livery yard was my
dream job and I enjoyed the job.
However, I felt totally unsupported
throughout my employment.
Within a month of becoming
manageress, Radcliffe who
attended the tribunal in white
winkle picker shoes, tight trousers,
pink shirt and a at cap started
working at the equestrian centre.
Miss Smith, who has a boyfriend,
said: I remember walking up the
yard towards the ofce and he was
walking towards me. As we passed,
he grabbed my breasts and made
a comment about how gay men
love boobs and bums, and then he
walked off. I was totally shocked.
A few days later I was in the
bottom barn and when he came
up behind me as I was bending
over, grabbed my hips and simu-
lated sexual intercourse.
I stood up and pushed him
away and nervously tried to laugh
it off. I think he thought it was a
joke but it was inappropriate and I
did not think it was funny.
Despite numerous verbal and
emailed complaints to her line
manager the attacks continued
and Radcliffe remained in his job.
Instead, in February last year,
Miss Smith was sacked after
bosses accused her of falsely
completing her CRB form, allow-
ing her to work with children.
The tribunal ruled the centre was
wrong and that Miss Smith had
been unfairly dismissed. It upheld
her sexual harassment claims,
awarding 12,300 damages for
income loss and injury to feelings.
Tribunal chairman Jonathan
Whittaker said: The fact that the
groom is a homosexual should not
make the allegations of sexual har-
assment less likely to be true.
Radcliffe loved boobs and bums
Louise Smith said her complaints were ignored

Tearful crowds

Sian OCallaghan, right, is taken

Swindon yesterday

THEY waited in their hundreds to pay their
respects, the streets silent but for the
sobs that rose as Sian OCallaghans
funeral cortege came into view.
Tearful mourners lining the route
through Swindons old town showered
owers on the hearse carrying the
murdered 22-year-olds cofn, framed
by oral tributes spelling out Sian in
white chrysanthemums.
Her family agreed to a public funeral
procession to thank townspeople for
their support through the dark days
that followed Sian going missing after a
night out with friends last month.
Around 500 people lined the route
through the old town, where she lived

had good things to say about her.
Today was just lovely that so many
people came out to pay their respects.
Last week, Sians mother Elaine said she
wanted local people to have a chance to pay
their respects.
She said: The cortege will pass slowly
through the town, which we felt was an
expression of thanks to people who have
shown their support.
CCTV pictures show Sian leaving the Suju
nightclub alone in the early hours of March

around half a mile away.
But she never arrived and her mobile

Swindon. Five days later police found the
personal assistants body in a eld in
Ufngton, in the famous Vale of the White
Horse in Oxfordshire. An inquest into her
death heard she had likely died from head
injuries.
Minicab driver Christopher Halliwell, 47,
has been remanded in custody to await trial
charged with her murder.
Detectives investigating Sians murder
also discovered the body of a second young
woman, believed to have been abducted
from the Swindon area between 2003
and 2005.
The remains of Becky Godden-Edwards
were found in a shallow grave on farmland
in Gloucestershire.
Her family were informed on what would
have been her 29th birthday. Detectives are
expected to interview Halliwell over Ms
Godden-Edwardss death.

She said: A lot of us have been touched
by whats happened to Sian and to her
family. I think that we all felt it could have
affected any one of us. I came here today to
show my support to the family and that
Swindon does care about these people.
Kylie Montgomery, 22, a schoolfriend of
Sian, said: We went to school together and
we were in a couple of the same classes. We
drifted apart after school but she was a
fantastic and amazing woman.
Fighting back tears, Miss Montgomery,
from Swindon, added: And now shes just
been taken. Its so sad in just such horrible

I CANT see what is
wrong with scrapping the
MoT test regime for
newer cars (MoT plan fails safety
test, April 16).
The MoT system is largely
unchanged since 1967, despite
massive developments in the safety
and technology of cars.
Im sure a cars rst MoT test
could quite safely be pushed back
from three to four years, with the
second test taking place after
another two years.
My car is four years old, my wifes
is eight, yet the servicing interval is
now 12 months and neither has
ever failed its MoT.
David Potter,
Tring, Herts
THE plan to change the
MoT test to two years is
absolute madness.
You only have to look at the
number of cars with bald tyres,
lights not working, smashed or
broken mirrors, plus who many
other defects which are only found
during servicing/MoTs.
There are many cars which only
do a few thousand miles a year, so
any faults are only found on MoTs.
We really do need more trafc
police and fewer speed cameras,
especially as those people who
know that they are driving a faulty
vehicle will make sure that they are
not caught speeding

THE NHS is far from perfect and 13
years of Labours stewardship have
left it worse than in 1997 but it is
wrong to assert that it has not
changed throughout its life (The
unions must not get a veto against
reforms, April 15).
For example, 50 years ago
hospitals were run by a hospital
secretary and a matron. Now there
are more managers than beds.
There has been too much change
with a failure of those in charge to
learn lessons from the past and to
understand fundamental medical
principles. The appalling lack of
care of elderly and sick people is a
direct consequence of reforms by
Labours Alan Milburn which
changed priorities from patients
needs to he who shouts loudest.
Private sector involvement has
also been disastrous. This time the
changes must be right.
Health Secretary Andrew
Lansley is right to pause because
there are serious aws in his plans.
Let us hope he is truly listening.

THE worst thing that could have
happened to what used to be the
nest education system in the
world has been political
adjustment (University ghost
towns fear as tuition fees rise,
April 18).
Telling the universities that they
could charge up to 9,000 per
annum tuition fees inevitably led to
most of them demanding this
amount, regardless of whether or
not it was needed or justiable.
Fees, as with charges for services
in the private sector, should be set
by analysis of the running costs
and not by administrations looking
to boost their status and earnings
at the expense of education itself.
Its shameful that we have
allowed politicians to exploit this
excellence to doctrinaire and
self-serving ends and that they
continue to try to do so.

FAIR-MINDED voters will nd it
utterly offensive that many Labour
councils are apparently cutting
frontline services, to make a
political point, while having tens of
millions untouched in their
reserves (Labour councils sitting
on billions , April 18).
All these councils are just
showing us how pathetic they are
by maintaining large reserves and
pleading poverty and injustice at
the same time.
The majority of people would
automatically assume that a
signicant part of any spare cash
would be used to offset the
damage caused by the cuts but
that is obviously not how a Labour
mind works.
No, by doing that they wouldnt
be able to give the false impression
that the Government are
responsible for the destruction of
many council services, which is the
impression that Labour want to
give, even if they have to lie to do
so. They should be ashamed but
wont be.

THE coalition is seemingly trying
to persuade people to work, at
long last, rather than just sit back
doing nothing but taking out
benets at everybodys expense.
However, it would now appear it is
rethinking the aim not to include
peoples property in the equation,
should they need care in old age
(Why Britons may STILL have to
sell up to pay for care, April 16).
This is an unfair call against all
those people who have strived to
be independent and not live off the
state and hopefully be able to leave
something for their children or
whatever their wishes might be.

THE governing of this country has
for many years been rmly based
on the democratic principle of one
man, one vote. Why then are we
bothering to consider the
Alternative Vote system (Vote No
to AV and keep control of your
democracy, April 16)?
Under AV, voters effectively have
more than one vote, all apparently
of equal value. If a voters rst
choice vote is discounted in the
rst round of voting then his
second choice half-hearted vote
still has the value of one vote in the
second round of voting and counts
as equal to those votes which have
been the rst choice of other
voters. This is not fair.
It would surely be better to
allocate a lower value to
non-rst-choice votes, reducing the
second choice votes to half value
say, the third choice votes to
one third value and so on. This
arrangement would undoubtedly
reduce the risk of extremist
candidates being elected by default
and also reduce the likelihood of
the UK being saddled with
inappropriate and unworkable
coalitions of undeserving minority
parties with doubtful agendas.

I WANT to commend the Daily
Express for its informative and
educational article on the subject
of bipolar disorder (The truth

As someone who has this illness,
it is good to see the national press
handling the subject in a sensitive
way which will raise public
awareness. I also want remind
readers that depressive illnesses
carry no shame and, in many cases,
may be effectively treated.

AS a former serving member of the Royal Navy (1962-77)
it was with disbelief swiftly replaced by shame that I read
that a once-proud service is now reduced to giving Somali
pirates lessons in hostage etiquette (We cant hold
pirates, claims Navy, April 16).
Not only do I feel a deep sense of shame that a proud
service has been reduced to such a servile position but I
also feel a deeper sense of anger towards whoever
thought up this ludicrous strategy.
There was a time when we trained our servicemen and
women to be robust and decisive in the actions to be
taken against those who threatened our peaceful and
lawful activities. Quite clearly those days have gone in
pursuit of the ideology of political correctness and
submission to terrorists and other law-breakers.
I suspect that there are many other ex-servicemen and
women up and down the country who are thankful that
they are spared serving in the Royal Navy today.

Top milliner Philip Treacy, whose
hats will be worn at the royal
wedding, remembers his adored
Jack Pussell called Mr Pig and
two other Iamous dog owners
also reveal the pain oI losing pets
D
R PIG had a cartoon-like
appearance that made him
popular with photographers
such as Lord Snowdon and
Mario Testino. He bounded
up catwalks with Naomi
Campbell, disgraced himself at a
party held by Sir Elton John and slept
on a Versace cashmere blanket.
The Jack Russell Terrier accompa-
nied milliner Philip Treacy everywhere
from the cinema, to nightclubs,
fashion shows and even photoshoots.
Dogs were not allowed in by the
security men at the Design Museum
in London but when Mr Pigs god-
mother style icon Isabella Blow
had a show there the director arranged
for the dog to have his own pass with
his name and photo. Even the V&A
museum relaxed its rules to allow
Mr Pig to enter.
Right from the start in 1992 Mr Pig
went everywhere with me and got
used to going all around town, says
Treacy. He is speaking in a new book
that celebrates the special bond
celebrities have felt with the dogs
they have lost. But Mr Pigs full
immersion in
Treacys life
inevitably led to
some awkward
moments.
I was in two
minds whether
or not to take
Mr Pig to Eltons
party in Windsor
but I thought,
Elton is a dog
lover so we will
work something
out.
But when we
got there Mr Pig
wouldnt stop
barking in front
of everybody.
Elton came
around to say
hello but every
time he went
near him Mr Pig
would go,
Grrrrr.
I put him
down on the
oor and said,
Mr Pig, relax.
This is slightly mortifying. Then
Elton went to nd some dog biscuits
but Mr Pig was having none of it and
every time he came near he growled.
I remember Guy Ritchie, who was
at the party, saying, I cant believe
you brought a dog to the party, and I
said, Well, neither can I. It was just a
nightmare, recalls Treacy.
However Mr Pig excelled himself at
Treacys fashion shows where he
would have a little trek on the runway
and a lie-down at the end, looking
around at all the people out there.
Of all Treacys friends it was singer
Grace Jones who was closest to
Mr Pig. She would rap along with his
special squeaky toy knowing he was
playing just for her. She would
applaud and say to him, Mr Pig, you
and I have got to record an album!
When Treacy went abroad on
business Mr Pig would stay with
Isabella Blow for weekends in the
country and sleep in a babys crib in
her room. His fame spread and soon
he had his own fan club in Japan.
I remember one day a Japanese
girl came into the shop. When Mr Pig
approached her she started crying
because she was meeting Mr Pig,
says Treacy.
But not everybody loved him. We
went to a party and there were only
ve other people in the room, recalls
Treacy. Mick Jagger was there with
his then wife Jerry Hall, along with
Isabella and her husband Detmar.
Soon Mr Pig was busy chewing Mick
Jaggers foot. Mick said, What the
f*** is this dog doing here? Get this
dog off me. I thought it was really
funny.
Sometimes he would growl and
worse at clients but one day as
Treacy arrived at his shop and walked
downstairs he could see Mr Pig
kneeling. I couldnt see who was
there but I could see him staring
adoringly at someone and thought,
This is interesting, Mr Pig.
It turned out to be the Duchess of
Cornwall, for whom Treacy was
making his rst hat. The Duchess is
a Jack Russell lover and knew how to
treat Mr Pig, says Treacy.
From then on Mr Pig used to receive
his own Christmas cards from Charles
and Camilla and
when he died in
the autumn of
2004 the Duch-
ess was among
100 friends who
wrote Treacy a
letter of condo-
lence.
Mr Pig had
been my family
for 12 years and
now he was
suddenly gone.
It was the most
painful moment
of my life, recalls
Treacy. The
Duchess loves
dogs and knew
what I was feel-
ing.
The night Mr
Pig died Treacy
held a proper
Irish wake at
his house lled
with people.
Mr Pig was
my relative and
everyone knew
how important he was. A tiny cofn
was made with his name on
and, wrapped in one of Treacys
T-shirts, he was buried in a garden
behind the hat shop in Londons
Belgravia.
=
OR MR PIGS funeral Grace
Jones composed and sang a
special song just for him. It
included words I will never forget,
Mr Pig, he really did not know that
he was a dog at all.
It sounds completely ludicrous at a
time when people are being buried
alive in earthquakes but I saw Mr Pig
as my friend, not my dog. He was my
everything, he was like my child.
I remember a few years after he
died Grace came round and she
mentioned Mr Pig and said, I just
have to say one thing. Mr Pig was
difcult. I do not want to hurt your
feelings but he was difcult.
But I liked his difculty because it
made him more of a character.

HESE days I can load a dishwasher without ghting a

We played a game on our landing. Buster (a rescued cross-breed)
had to guess which of my hands, on the stair below him, held the
biscuit. He pawed at my ngers without ever hurting me and
always won the biscuit in the end. It is one of the little things that
it hurts me to remember.
Most dog owners describe their dogs as special so I do no more
than describe the qualities I found irresistible. Thanks to his
energy he imposed himself on all the lives around him. Doors
banged open when he marched into the room. A morning rarely
passed without him becoming entangled in the wires that
connected my laptop to the world. When he saw bags in the hall he
sat among them like a brindle suitcase to make it clear he was
travelling too.
For 15 years I watched him grow up, grow wise and grow old.
Then he lay down with no intention of ever getting up again. I do
not pretend my grief was unique. I merely state as a matter of fact
nothing has ever caused me as much pain as Busters death. He
left a permanent legacy. Do not underestimate what a dog can do.
;
OGS have always been
more than companions
for me. In a frenetic and
demanding life they have
been a sanctuary. Far
from any kind of judg-
ment and expectation they offer
unconditional love. In some
respects being with them is a kind
of therapy.
From the moment I met our
Norfolk Terrier Boss he was a
tremendous wee dog, always
rushing around, constantly on
the move, full of personality.
Boss and I seemed to be glued
together. Where I went he went.
Where I slept he slept. My wife
Helen started to say we even
began to look the same and
behave in the same way.
At times he would sit, look up
at us and almost seem to talk.
Moving his head and opening his
mouth he would make sounds
with an intonation that resem-
bled human speech.
In the spring of 2005 after 15
years together this wee man,
who had always been so ener-
getic, reached a stage where he
seldom ran.
Within a week he had become
very poorly and one afternoon
after a nal, gentle walk I held
wee Boss in my arms as he peace-
fully passed away. In that precise
moment I felt as if part of my soul
went with him. I was profoundly
and deeply affected by losing
him.
I was meant to be a three-time
Formula One world champion, a
racing driver who had supposedly
shown great mental strength in
being able to carry on competing
when so many of his friends were
being killed but it was starting to
look as if I had been deated and
defeated by the death of a small
dog.
I certainly felt a part of my soul
went with him and although we
have new dogs now his loss
created a void and a sense of
emptiness that has not properly
been lled.

A GERMAN Jews
80,000 hoard of gold
coins buried in
wartime London and

the Blitz was yesterday
returned to his son.
The US double-
eagle $20 coins were
buried 70 years ago by
Martin Sulzbachers
family for safekeeping
when he was interned
as an enemy alien and
sent to Australia.
He returned to his
home in Hackney, east
London, to nd all his
family there had been
killed by a direct hit.
He knew the coins
had been buried but
could not nd them.
The jar of coins is
the second found on
the site the rst was
discovered in 1952.
The latest was found
in 2007 by four people
digging a pond at the
site, now a care home.
St Pancras coroner
Andrew Reid ruled Mr
Sulzbachers son Max,
81, who now lives in
Jerusalem, was the
owner and dismissed
the nders claim.
The son, whose
father died in 1981, has
pledged to reward the
nders and donate a
coin to a museum.
He said: Im
surprised but
delighted by the
discovery and grateful
to the nders.
A relative of one of
the nders, a man with
learning difculties,
said: All he wanted
was a DVD player.

A FORMER soldier

was yesterday jailed
for 70 days.
Andrew Ryan, 32,
had been outraged by
internet clips of
extremists burning
poppies and abusing
servicemen who were

He was jailed weeks
after Muslim extremist
Emadur Choudhury
escaped with a 50 ne

for burning a poppy
during the two

London last year.
As Ryan was jailed
at Carlisle Magistrates
Court he yelled: What

What about people
burning poppies?
He was also given a
30-day sentence, to be
served concurrently,
for stealing the 5 copy
of the Koran from a
public library.
The court heard he
had six previous
convictions for public
order offences.
At an earlier court
appearance he pleaded
guilty to causing
religiously aggravated
harassment, alarm and
distress.
Judge Gerald Chalk
told him: People are
entitled to protest, but
not in a way that will
cause harassment or

Ibru at
court. A
warrant
was later
issued
for her
arrest
ENGLAND star Rio Ferdinand
came face to face in court with
a glamorous stalker yesterday
only to have her tell him Ill
see you soon, bye before ee-
ing her trial.
Susanne Ibru, 38, appeared
in a gure-hugging black dress
to represent herself after being
accused of repeatedly making
the 200-mile journey from her
London home to Cheshire and-
married father-of-three Ferdi-
nands house.
During the morning Mac-
cleseld magistrates heard the
Manchester United defender
explain how her three bizarre
visits left his family upset and
alarmed.
Ferdinand, whose wife
Rebecca gave birth on Satur-
day to their third child a
daughter called Tia said Ibru
had approached him several
times over the last few years.
The rst of the three occa-
sions she was facing trial for
happened in the early morning
in February last year when she
came to his house as he and
his wife were asleep.
I was disturbed because I
have a young family, he said.
I called the club security and
they called the police.
He said the second occasion
was in June when he was driv-
ing into his home.
He added: She was stand-
ing close to the gates. I asked
her why she had come to my
house again. She said there
were things that needed to be
resolved.
Prosecutor Ian Davies asked
him: Did you have any idea
what she was talking about?
Ferdinand replied: No, not
at all. I asked her if she was a
fan and she said I am not a
fan, I am more than that.
Ferdinand said the third
incident was two days later at
12.15am. He called the police
immediately.
The court was told that Mrs
Ferdinand could not attend
yesterday because her health
was not good following Tias
birth. But Ferdinand said of
the harassment: It has made
her a little bit anxious. The
safety of my family is huge to
me, like for anyone.
He clashed with Ibru when
she cross-examined him.
I dont even know you. You
should not be at my house,
Ferdinand said. But Ibru
turned to the court and said:
He needs to ask his mother
why I turned up at his house.
As Ferdinand left court, she
said to him: Ill see you soon,
bye.
Then during the lunch break
she ed the court in a taxi and
failed to return, prompting
District Judge Nicholas Sand-
ers to convict her of harassing
Ferdinand and issue a warrant
for her arrest.
The court had earlier heard
Ibru was a fantasist who was
obsessed by the star, wrongly
believing the two were in some
sort of relationship.
Ferdinands mother Janice
said in a statement that Ibru
had befriended her at church
in Peckham eight years ago
and had pestered her with
phone calls about her son.

INSIDE: Spring into action Saving soccer fans from
strokes Hoop away the blues
DEVASTATED: Amanda Holden HEARTBREAK: Singer Lily Allen
Pictures: ROSIE HALLAM; DAVID HARTLEY Picture: DAVE BENETT
Hughes Syndrome is a common cause behind multiple
miscarriage but it is often missed, says JANE SYMONS
D
ISCARRIAGE is a tragedy
that will affect one in four
women and when
celebrities such as singer
Lily Allen or actress
Amanda Holden lose
a longed-for baby it brings back
poignant memories of what might
have been for thousands of couples.
For some the sadness is
compounded by the awful truth
that many miscarriages could
have been prevented by a simple
aspirin. Emma Cravitz says she is
lucky to have three happy, healthy
children but she has also endured
the anguish of ve miscarriages.
Emma, 41, an educational
psychologist from Muswell Hill in
London, has Hughes Syndrome,
an immune system disorder which
means her blood is too sticky.
Its estimated that one per cent
of the population has the condition,
also known as antiphospholipid
syndrome, although the real gure
may be higher as it is often missed
or misdiagnosed.
Hughes Syndrome is the most
common cause of multiple
miscarriage and Professor Graham
Hughes, the man who identied it
in the Eighties, believes it is a
common cause of infertility.
I have seen a number of patients
who have been told they are
infertile but were in fact having
very early miscarriages, he says.
Emma had no trouble conceiving
and when her rst child Charlie was
born there was nothing to suggest
a problem. It was a
pretty uneventful
pregnancy and he was
born at term, she says.
Nothing could prepare
her for what was to follow.
When Charlie turned
one Emma and her
husband Roger, 52, a
solicitor, decided to try
for a second child and
were delighted when
Emma fell pregnant
almost immediately.
However at seven
weeks, during a routine
scan, she was told there
was no heartbeat.
It was absolutely
devastating, says
Emma. I had gone
on my own as I wasnt
expecting a problem.
They booked me in
for a D&C (an obstetric
procedure to clean the
womb and prevent
infection) but I kept
thinking, What if
theyve made a mistake?
Why didnt I ask for a
second opinion?
Doctors reassured
Emma that miscarriage
was common, just one of
those things. The only
way I could deal with it was to get
pregnant again which I did, says
Emma. I was booked in for an early
scan and at seven weeks the foetus
looked ne. There was a heartbeat
but they also said there was a pool
of blood which they were worried
about.
When Emma returned a week
later the heartbeat had stopped. I
thought I couldnt be that unlucky
to have it happen twice. Once you
have a foetus and heartbeat the
chances of a miscarriage are around
one per cent.
To have two or more is really
unlikely. People need to know that,
she says, hoping that by sharing
her story other women with the
condition will be diagnosed.
Tests conrmed there was
nothing wrong with the baby and
again she was told it was bad luck.
Emma decided to miscarry
naturally rather than have a second
D&C but haemorrhaged so badly
she needed a transfusion. Still no
one made the connection with
Hughes Syndrome. My son was
getting older and I kept thinking he
was never going to have a sibling.
During the next pregnancy Emma
was prescribed extra hormones but
at nine weeks the heartbeat had
gone.
After losing three pregnancies
she was referred to Mr Rajendra
Rai at the specialist unit at
St Marys Hospital in west London,
where a blood test conrmed she
had Hughes Syndrome.
A second test carried out within
24 hours came back negative,
which is not unusual.
I was really upset to get the
diagnosis but it was reassuring to
hear there was a 70 per cent chance
of a successful pregnancy with the
right treatment.
Treatment is usually
aspirin, heparin or a mix
of the two. Both thin the
blood and prevent clots
forming, ensuring a
healthy blood ow through
the umbilical cord. Sadly
Emmas case was a little
more complicated and
she suffered two more
miscarriages before
Mr Rai suggested she
also take steroids.
For some Hughes
makes your immune
system over-active and
my body was rejecting the
baby, she says.
This time she got to
20 weeks before a scan
revealed there was only
one artery in the umbilical
cord and the babys
growth was slowing. They
monitored me very closely
but at 31 weeks said the
babys growth had slowed
so much it would be better
out than in.
Mia, who is now six, was
induced a week later. She
was an absolute miracle,
weighing 3lbs.
As Emma approached
her 40th birthday she and
Roger decided to have one more try.
She says: Leo made it to 34 weeks,
again they thought his growth was
slowing and delivered him early.
I do feel incredibly lucky but I
think there are too few hospitals
that understand Hughes Syndrome
and do the whole range of tests.
People need to be aware if you
keep trying and you get the right
treatment you can have a family.

BECAUSE it makes blood sticky
and prone to clotting, Hughes can
trigger a wide range of symptoms
and is often misdiagnosed.
Warning signs and common
features include headache or
migraine, memory loss, skin
disorders, pulmonary embolism,
gastrointestinal disorders,
giddiness, visual disturbance,
thrombosis or DVT, stroke,
heart attacks and, of course,
pregnancy problems.

Easter is the prime
time to launch
a healthier new
regime. Here TIM
BRADY explains why
<
ASTER is when the
days start to get longer,
owers are blooming
and, just in case you
need it, theres a perfect
excuse to tuck into
chocolate. So its little wonder
that for many of us it signies
a turning point in our mental
and physical wellbeing after
another harsh winter.
Psychologists say natures
rebirth in spring has a
powerful effect on human
behaviour. As well as the
feelgood factor from more
daylight hours there is a
knock-on effect on physical
health as we make more of the
opportunities to get out and
about in the sunshine.
Most of us feel better when
the sun shines and owers start
to come out, says psychologist
Dr David Lewis-Hodgson.
We get a sense of being
reborn as winters aches and
pains seem to disappear in the
sunshine. There is a
honeymoon period where we
often feel everything is going
to change for the better.
This is most likely because
for many people there is a
change in the brains chemistry
when we are exposed to
sunlight. This chemical is a
hormone called melatonin,
produced by the pituitary
gland, and studies show it can
ease the winter blues many
people suffer during months of
short days and long nights.
I used to treat people who
had depression and anxiety
and I always tended to see a
decrease in referrals when
the sun started to shine, says
Dr Lewis-Hodgson.
However he warns a few
days of good Easter weather
may not give the same relief
for those with severe clinical
depression, compared with
people with seasonal affective
disorder (SAD). It can have
a negative effect because they
may think they should be
feeling happier as spring is in
the air, yet they dont.
One of the signs of clinical
depression is when you dont
get pleasure from things that
used to give you pleasure.
Its not just mood that can
be affected over the holidays.
Follow our guide to see how
you can boost your health
during Easter.

HAVE A NATTER
Reason: it can boost
a womans brain
Getting together with friends
or family could be just what
you need if youre a woman.
Research carried out
at the University of
Michigan shows
women are
happier and
healthier if they
regularly chat
with friends
or loved ones
because it
boosts levels of
progesterone,
a hormone
shown to reduce
levels of anxiety
and stress.
Progesterone is
produced by the ovaries.
It prepares the womb for
pregnancy, ghts infection and
stops the over-production of
oestrogen that could raise the
risk of cancer. It is also known
to increase a womans desire
to bond with others and the
study conrmed that gossiping
can stimulate its production.
KISS YOUR PARTNER
Reason: it keeps
hay fever at bay
Love is often in the air during
spring time. However if you
need another reason to enjoy
a passionate kiss with your
partner at Easter, Japanese
scientists have come up with
one. They found 30 minutes of
kissing can beat the misery of
hay fever by dampening down
the bodys allergic reaction to
pollen. Kissing relaxes the
body and reduces production
of histamine, a chemical
pumped out by cells in
response to an allergen.
The UK has around
13 million hay fever sufferers
with symptoms ranging from
a runny nose and itchy eyes to
asthma attacks.
Stress is known to make
responses to common allergens
such as pollen and cat fur even
worse and the team behind the
kissing study also found that
laughter can reduce allergic
responses by controlling
production of an antibody
called immunoglobulin E (IgE).
HEAD FOR THE PARK
Reason: its great for
hyperactive children
A 20-minute stroll in the park
could be just as effective as
drugs such as Ritalin for
treating hyperactive children.
Researchers at the University
of Illinois found troubled
youngsters showed signicant
improvements in concentration
levels after a dose of nature.
The improvements were on a
par with those seen from
taking a daily dose of drugs for
attention decit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD).
However the researchers
found the same children did
not get any benet from
walking through town centres
or along residential streets.
SIT IN THE SUN
Reason: boosts
levels of vitamin D
During winter when the body
is deprived of natural sunlight,
our reserves of vitamin D can
become severely depleted. The
vitamin is crucial for healthy
bones and teeth, primarily
because it helps to absorb
calcium from our food.
Oily sh, dairy products and
liver also contain this essential
vitamin, but sunlight, even on
a cloudy day, is the key source.
GET ON YOUR BIKE
Reason: it protects
against breast cancer
Women who cycle just three
hours a week can reduce their
risk of getting breast cancer by
more than a third. Indeed
cycling may be better than
walking or playing sports for
protecting against the disease.
Scientists think physical
activity probably equips the
immune system to ght off
attacks by cancerous cells.
EAT MORE TOMATOES
Reason: it could
stop sunburn
As its a late Easter, if the sun
does make an appearance it
could be stronger than usual.
Fair-skinned people often get
caught out by the suns rays at
this time of the year. One way
to protect yourself may be to
eat more tomatoes.
A study in the British
Journal of Dermatology showed
eating modest amounts of
tomato paste had a protective
effect on the skin. Regular
intake of tomatoes or tomato
products seems to boost the
skins ability to resist the
destructive effects of the sun.
The main ingredient is
thought to be lycopene, the
antioxidant that gives tomatoes
their bright red colour and
possibly reduces the risk of
prostate cancer in men.

Since his brush with death, football-mad ANDY JONES is
encouraging others to keep an eye on their blood pressure
N_pjXm`e^]Xej]ifd
]XkXcjkifb\`jdp^fXc

Y HIS own admission Andy
Jones was a hospital case
waiting to happen. He
worked long and
unpredictable hours, had
an awful diet and couldnt
nd the time to exercise.
Weekends were spent in the pub
or on the road following his
favourite football team Tottenham
Hotspur. Match days involved pie
and chips washed down with a
couple of pints before the game.
So it was no surprise that he
keeled over at the age of 40 having
suffered a stroke. Although he was
unaware at the time his blood
pressure was heading off the scale.
I was running my own courier
company, explains Andy from
Warwick. It meant driving all over
the country and sometimes to
Europe. It was very hectic and
stressful. I might get an emergency
job and be on the road at 2am but
there was no set pattern.
I grabbed food when I could,
usually sandwiches and takeaways
and by the time I got home I was
too exhausted to cook. I used to
play cricket but gave up because of
the unsociable hours I worked.
At that age a lot of men dont
think about their health and it
never occurred to me to have a
check-up. My idea of relaxing was
a curry or Chinese takeaway and a
few beers.
Then, when Andy was delivering
a case of wine to one of his
customers, he felt unwell and
collapsed on the doorstep.
I couldnt speak or move my
right arm or leg, he recalls. It was
terrifying but I had no idea Id
suffered a stroke.
At hospital he was treated for a
blood clot on his brain and told
that his blood pressure was 188/112.
The gures refer to the pressure
of blood being pumped around the
body. First when the heart is
beating and second when it is
relaxing between beats. Its always
higher when the heart is beating
and we should aim for a blood
pressure of 120/80 or lower.
High blood pressure is
responsible for half the strokes and
heart attacks in the UK but most
people dont bother to have simple
checks which can provide an early
warning. As Andy discovered, high
blood pressure has no symptoms.
He was in hospital for a week but
the stroke had a lasting impact. His
company had been successful but
the debts began mounting while he
was ill and he was forced to declare
bankruptcy. Although his speech
recovered he struggled to regain
movement and seven years later
still suffers with fatigue and
co-ordination problems.
However with medication and
radical changes to his lifestyle his
blood pressure began falling and is
today a much more healthy 132/78. EASY TEST: Former England star Phil Neal, left, is checked in seconds by Andy

Eventually he returned to work
part-time as a land surveyor then
began working for The Stroke
Association. His job involves
helping stroke survivors and their
families cope with the aftermath
and he is also trained to measure
blood pressure.
He began taking more exercise
and cut down on alcohol and
takeaways which are often laden
with salt, a cause of high blood
pressure. Recognising that his
passion for watching football and
the bad habits that went with it
were linked to his stroke, Andy set
about targeting other fans.
He has recently visited the
stadiums of all 20 Premier League
teams over ve days, meeting fans
and checking their blood pressure.
Of 300 fans who agreed to being
checked more than a third had high
blood pressure.

conict with his sister, who fears that private family

ELLIOT SALTMAN
is free to play on
the European Tour
this week after a
three-month ban.
Scot Saltman, 29,
was found guilty of
improperly marking his
ball during an event in
Russia last September.
But he is a lowly
reserve for the China
Open and the
Ballantines
Championship in Korea,
so is likely to have to
wait until the Spanish
Open, which starts on
May 5.
Saltman was the rst
professional to be
banned from the
European Tour since
1992, when Swede
Johan Tumba was
thrown out for 10
years for altering his
scorecard.

Speedy golfs
double vision
A
NYONE who
watched the
captivating end
to the Masters
will nd it
difcult to
understand why golf needs
a new format.
The Sunday denouement,
complete with heartbreak,
heroism, a good dollop of
old-fashioned mayhem and a
victory dash of the purest quality,
had everything.
It was, by every denition,
spellbinding. So the timing of the
launch of what has been billed as
the sports equivalent of
Twenty20 cricket PowerPlay
Golf last week was unfortunate
to say the least. If golf aint broke,
why x it?
Set aside four magnicent
days of slow-burning but riveting
drama at Augusta National, the
prospect of a quickre three-
hour shootout seems shallow
in comparison, a frivolous
irrelevance.
If only every professional
tournament were as jaw-
dropping as the 2011 Masters,
the arrival of PowerPlay Golf at
Celtic Manor next month could
be safely ignored and left to
disappear into oblivion.
In reality, though, the
tournament landscape is more
monochrome this years
Masters was the exception rather
than the rule. Another week,
another 72-hole strokeplay event.
Ho hum.
While Majors should always
retain the traditional format,
there is cavernous room for
innovation in the sport. You only
have to feel the increased pulse
rate when the seasons few
matchplay events come around
to appreciate that variety can be
the spice of golng life.
So is PowerPlay the answer or
just a marketing gimmick? Paul
Casey will be in Wales as one of
the mixed 12-player eld taking
part in PowerPlay Golf: Ignition,
as it is being branded by the
marketeers. It is not the
invitation to Celtic Manor he
dreamed of, but he is fascinated
to see what comes of it.
If you look at the Masters, it
took more than ve hours for our
rst round in beautiful weather
with no delays, said Casey.
Thats too long. Something has
to be done about slow play in
general.
If theres a short, fun format,
well see how it works out. I m
genuinely intrigued about this
whole thing.
Ive seen it and I understand
it. It could be quite a good laugh.
Maybe it will turn out to be just a
cool TV thing, a sort of beach
ve-a-side football equivalent,
which would be good fun to
watch.
In other words, meaningless
uff. But just as beach football
and Twenty20 cricket draw a
different type of crowd, the
backers of PowerPlay Golf think
it will draw new fans .
Research commissioned by its
backers shows that more than
seven in 10 golfers believe the
sport would benet from a
shorter, faster format. More than
84 per cent of younger players
say a version of the sport with an
emphasis on excitement, rather
than endurance, would appeal .
In coming up with a concept
with immediate appeal to youth
and to TV
broadcasters, the
promoters have
decided against
using giant balls
with competitors
faces on for
easier camera
recognition, or
l e a d e r b o a r d s
decided by sofa
votes. There will
be no water
hazards guarded
by hungry
crocodiles, nor will
one random iron
per player be wired
up for an electric shock.
The twist on traditional golf is
less extreme but ground-
breaking nonetheless. As in the
above picture, two holes are cut
into each of nine greens one in
an easy position, one in a more
demanding location and the
competitors employ a limited
number of powerplays to score
extra points by aiming at the
tougher black ag. The women,
who include Paula Creamer and
Helen Alfredsson, play off forward
tees and the winner will receive
100,000.
Trialled in 30 countries over
the past three years, the concept
is being launched at a professional
level with an event in Asia and
USA in November after the May
30 date in Wales.
For those who see it as an
unnecessary sop to a generation
with the attention span of a gnat,
then it is interesting to hear
the idea has one notable
septuagenarian advocate in Gary
Player. He sees not candyoss
golf but the distilled essence of
what the traditional game should
be about.
You are standing in the middle
of the 18th fairway at Augusta
tied for the lead , said Player.
Do you go for the pin? If you hit
it right, you make birdie and win.
If you dont, you make bogey and
lose.
Its risk versus reward one of
the toughest decisions a
champion has to make.

GAVIN HENSONS
overdue attempt to
resuscitate his career has
failed again after a late-
night scufe with Toulon
team-mates which is
likely to get him the sack
from the leading French
club.
Welsh centre Henson, 29,
has been provisionally
suspended for a week so
missing the critical Top
14 game with Perpignan
and his chance of
earning an extension to
his existing temporary
contract is now gone.
Having made only his
second appearance for his new
club, alongside the sainted
Jonny Wilkinson, and publicly
enthused over the opportunity
he had been given, Henson
involved himself in an argument
with captain Joe van Niekerk.
He complained at the
respected Springboks sin-
binning in the rst half of
Toulons victory over Toulouse
as well as uttering the ultimate
blasphemy by criticising local
hero Wilkinson for already
having gone home.
The sports daily LEquipe are
reporting that a punch-up took
place in a club near the town of
Hyeres, near Toulon, between
Henson and the 29-year-old
international Australian scrum-
half Matt Henjak, who has a
history of being involved in
similar scrapes.
A lavish champagne reception
had followed the match at
Stade Velodrome, but the
altercation described by
Toulon as a breach of their
players code occurred in the
early hours the next morning.
It was a bizarre turn of events,
and humiliating for Henson as
the recipient of Toulons
largesse. He already knew
coach Philippe Saint-Andre
would be reluctant to give him
any further deal if Wales carried
through their interest in
restoring him to Test rugby.
Saint-Andre must do without
Wilkinson and impending
Australian acquisition Matt
Giteau from his mideld during
this years World Cup.
Wales backs coach Robert
Howley recently declared that
Henson would be chosen for
the Barbarians game in Cardiff
in June with a view to taking
him to the World Cup, even
though he has hardly played for
two years.
Henson had taken a 21-month
sabbatical until he played for
Saracens on Boxing Day after
the Ospreys released him. But
he made only four appearances,
three as a replacement, before
decamping to Provence.
Strong words led to the
punch-up but Toulon president
Mourad Boudjellal would only
say: He has broken the rules of
conduct, well established in his
contract.
Toulon seem certain to re
Henson on Monday. Boudjellal
had said his future depended
on his performances in the
seasons last two games but
now he will miss at least one if
not both of them.
Meanwhile, Gloucester meet
Northampton at Kingsholm
tonight in a match postponed
from Boxing Day which will
cement the winners place in
the Premiership play-offs.
But three games in nine days
for both teams mean the
selection changes from last
weekend are virtually total,
with Saints elding what
amounts to a second team.
Bruce Reihana, moved from
wing to full-back, and anker
Calum Clark are the only
survivors from the XV who won
at Newcastle last Friday. There
is a start for former England
hopeful Shane Geraghty at y-
half. Coach Jim Mallinder called
these 13 changes a few but by
making them he made it clear
his priority is Saturdays visit
to London Irish.
Having drawn at
leaders Leicester, third-placed
Gloucester are placing greater
emphasis on their return to
Kingsholm than Sundays visit
to second-placed Saracens.
Coach Bryan Redpaths 12
changes strengthen his side.
England prospect Dave
Attwood is the only forward
asked to back up, but limited
by suspension during the second
half of the season there is a
logic in his selection.
Gloucester are a point ahead
of Northampton, who are four
clear of London Irish and nine
ahead of Bath.

RETURN TO FORM: OSullivan leads Dale comfortably
RONNIE OSullivan
kept everyone
guessing whether he
was going to turn
up at this years
Betfred.com World
Championship.
The Rocket had
told World Snooker
10 days ago he was
not going to play in
Shefeld before
making a U-turn
just 24 hours later.
But three-time
world champion
OSullivan came to
the party in style
yesterday, saving his
best display of the
season for the
Crucible.
OSullivan, 35, has
been in terrible form
this season, having
suffered four rst-round
exits in succession and
seeing his ranking
plummet to world No10.
In addition, he had to
be talked out of quitting
the sport in January by
supremo Barry Hearn.
That all led to his
rst-round opponent,
Austria-based Welshman
Dominic Dale, claiming
there was never a better
time to take him on.
If that looked a rash
boast against a player
who has a 12-0 winning
record against him, it
seemed even more
misplaced once
OSullivan had blasted
into a 7-2 lead overnight
in the best-of-19 clash.
He chalked up a 100th
century at the Crucible
after admitting last
week that he was seeing
sports psychiatrist Dr
Steve Peters. He also
spent time on a friends
narrow boat over the
weekend and looked
ultra-relaxed in front of
an enthusiastic crowd.
Former world
champion Ken Doherty
said: Ronnie isnt always
prepared to battle but it
was clear today he is up
for the ght.
The 1985 Crucible king
Dennis Taylor added:
When hes in this mood
even the other players
want to go and watch
him thats the effect he
has on a tournament.
Stephen Hendry
admitted he could win
an eighth world crown
this year and still retire.
Scot Hendry, 42, edged
past Joe Perry 10-9 in a
thriller last night and, in
doing so, kept alive his
chances of staying in the
elite top 16.
But he has resolved
not to play in the new
Players Tour
Championship series
which will make it hard
to maintain his ranking.
He said: I have a big
decision to make in the
summer. It will be very
tough to keep my true
ranking up with all the
points for the new PTCs
and Im not playing in
them as they do nothing
for me.

Savage blow
to QPR party

KP wants lead role again
You cant measure
what it means to us
SAVAGE ART:
Robbie Savage,
centre, clashes with
QPR last night
THE soaring elation
was over and it looked
as if someone had
nailed Lewis Hamiltons
feet to the oor.
His rst win of the
season indeed, his
rst since Belgium last
summer and his
breaking of Sebastian
Vettels grip on F1s
throat had seen him
struggle for the right
words.
Its denitely not
relief, even satisfaction
doesnt describe it,
said Hamilton as the F1
stampede began to
Pudong Airport after a
thrilling Grand Prix in
China.
He had fought to
control his emotions as
he moved up to second
at the start, dropped
back in pit-stops as low
as sixth, fought his way
forward and nally
nailed Vettel for the
victory four laps from
the end. I dont
remember having that
much emotion in me,
said Hamilton, who has
now upgraded this into
the top three of his 15
wins.
It is very early to say
we can win the title,
though.
He is realistic enough
to know that Red Bulls
car, as demonstrated
by Mark Webbers
brilliant drive from 18th
to third, is still the
fastest car on the track.
Their strategy was
compromised by
several factors but
mainly by Jenson
Button and Hamilton
jumping Vettel at the
start.
Having learnt from
his errors a week earlier,
Hamilton arrived
single-minded,
determined to drive a
three-stop strategy
which suited a more
aggressive approach.
Back-to-back races in
Malaysia and Shanghai
had left the teams
drained but Hamilton
knew that his victory
would be the
inspiration in the
three-week gap to the
next outing in Turkey.
Its perfect for that,
he said. You cant
measure what a win like
this does to a group of
guys. Ive just told them
exactly what we need
and now its their job to
nd it.
You can see that
Mercedes are catching
up. Ferrari are still
competitive. We have
got to keep moving
forwards. We cannot let
the ball drop.
FORMULA ONE
By Bob McKenzie
HAMILTON: Emotion
SOMETIMES a bit of
know-how, a smidgeon of
experience is what you
need. Queens Park Rangers
fans can put the promotion
champagne on ice for
another week thanks to a
36-year-old.
Last night was supposed to be
all about Adel Taarabt, QPRs
amboyant talisman, leading his
side to the very brink of the
Premier League. Instead, it ended
up being all about Robbie Savage,
who turned up, stomped all over
21-year-old Taarabt and never
gave him a sniff.
After the game Savage tweeted:
It was hard playing with 12 stone
in my pocket.
QPR went into the game
knowing that a win if Norwich
fail to beat Ipswich on Thursday
would have seen them promoted.
But thanks to Savage they simply
ran out of steam.
It will happen of course, because
QPR need just three points from
their last four games, starting at
Cardiff on Saturday, to secure the
return to the promised land they
left 15 years ago. Taarabt was
marked out of the game by Savage
and, when he was hauled off in the
70th minute, he threw off his
gloves and hurled down his water
bottle as the Derby skipper offered
to shake his hand then stormed
down the tunnel in a hissy t.
Savage, grinning, said: Taarabt
is a talent. Sometimes when it is
not going his way he can have a
little strop like he did tonight, but
he deserves to be the player of the
year because he has got great skill
and great ability.
I would have preferred him to
stay on though because he was
not doing anything.
Earlier he had tweeted: Surely
an up and coming player of the
season in the Championship
should destroy someone with only
ve games left in his career and
who is nearly 37. But you never
know. Indeed you dont. Savages
performance was all the more
impressive after he was booked in
the 15th minute for a two-footed
lunge on Taarabt. Time and again
he got a foot or block in, read the
run, was unfazed by the stepover.
There was only one ash of the
Taarabt talent, an exquisite
outside-of-the-foot curler that
brought a brilliant tip over from
goalkeeper Brad Jones.
QPR went close through Wayne
Routledge, but Derby almost
snatched a winner when Jamie
Ward skipped past his man to nd
Stephen Pearson, only for Paddy
Kenny to pull off a superb stop.
QPR manager Neil Warnock
said: Robbie is a bit like me, you
either like him or loathe him.
But youve got to hand it to
him with the ability he has, he
has done fantastic to make the
living he has. Hes well past his
sell-by date, but he does a job on
the pitch.

Routledge (Miller 83), Derry, Faurlin, Smith;

KEVIN PIETERSEN has made a
dramatic plea to be made Englands
one-day captain, claiming he is older
and wiser than when he lost the job
two years ago.
Pietersen was axed as England
skipper in January 2009 after just 150
days, following an ill-advised power
struggle with coach Peter Moores,
who also left his job.
But with Andrew Strauss expected
to quit as 50-over captain next
month, Pietersen is ready to step in.
Pietersen, 30, said: If the one-day
job becomes available, I would
denitely be up for it.
A lot of water has passed under
the bridge since I last did it and its
something Ive thought about in the
past few weeks, since the rumours
surfaced about Andy Strauss
stepping down.
Second time around I think I
could do a real good job as Id be
older and wiser, and would handle a
few things a lot differently.
I didnt think I was too bad rst
time around. So if the opportunity
came up and I was asked I would say,
Thank you very much, I would love
to have another go.
Andy Flower, meanwhile, is set to
be offered a new three-year contract
as the England and Wales Cricket
Board attempts to head off any
moves for their coach from India.
PIETERSEN: Hear my call

WEMBLEY has folk whose orange
bibs identify them as Safety
Stewards. Some have yellow bibs
marked Safety Supervisors. The
yellows report to other yellows,
whose bibs say Quadrant
Supervisors. The Response
Team chaps wear blue bibs and
have FBI-style walkie-talkies.
Their big cheeses have
Response Team Supervisor on
their bibs and a three-digit
identication number in big print.
For columnists, the default
position is sneering cynicism, so I
scoffed at all the colour-coding
and wondered what had happened
to good old, common or garden
stewards while waiting for
Saturdays FA Cup semi-nal to
start. But then I watched the
yellows quietly help some
Manchester City fans who had
found themselves among United
supporters. One over-refreshed
fan was calmed down by some
blue bibs in an understated way.
For all the justied moans
about prices, Wembley does
football rather well. And although
it seemed silly that a Staffordshire
team and three North-west teams
had to traipse to London at the
weekend, roughly 35,000 fans of
each club were accommodated in
properly segregated safety.
Villa Parks capacity is 42,000.
Anelds is 45,000. You do the
maths. Then tell people to stop
complaining about semi-nals at
Wembley without thinking it
through.

slip me a few quid from time to time,
you will accuse me of bias if I ladle
praise upon them. But we do forget how
slipshod coverage was before their
dedicated sports channels came along.
For Englands match against Greece in 1989
only the second half was shown. We got
Neighbours instead. The last deal before Sky
was for ITV to show just 21 league and
League Cup games live. I wonder what

So, biased or not, happy

C
ARLO nice-but-
doomed Ancelotti
is unperturbed as
he nears the
exit at Chelsea.
Perhaps it is his
inherent dignity. Perhaps it is
the 5million that will be owed
to him for the remainder of
his contract.
Or perhaps he calculates that
new mountain ranges will
form and then erode away
before Fernando Torres
scores and so there is
nothing that can be done
to repair the fractures at
the club.
Whatever the reason,
Ancelotti is continuing
to behave as he has done
since he pitched up in our
capital: with good humour
and easy charm. We will
miss him when he goes
this summer and when his
remarkable CV takes him to
a top job somewhere else.
As his reign peters
out, everyone with a
pulse has been
t o u t e d
to become the next highly paid
stooge for Roman Abramovichs ill-
considered whims. Yet one name
stands out, which is what its owner
would expect and enjoy.
Jose Mourinho is unlikely to be
Abramovichs choice, because the
club is not big enough for both their
egos. And Mourinho has his eye on
Old Trafford when his gaze is not
focused on a mirror . But how he will
wallow in the speculation about
a return to Chelsea.
That was surely
part of his
motivation last
week. All great
actors need
motivation and
Mourinho had
his for a bravura
per f or mance
before, during
and after Real
Madrids victory
at Tottenham. He
chose the role of a
hale and hearty fellow, joshing with
everyone and greeting each event
with a smile.
That is an easy act when your
team is already four goals ahead
before kick-off, but it did not take
long for morose Mourinho to
reappear when he touched
down back in Spain.
At the media
conference before the
rst of four clashes
with Barcelona in 17
days, he ordered
his assistant, Aitor
Karanka, to answer
all questions, while
he sat in
stony silence .
L o c a l
j o u r n a l i s t s
walked out,
weary of stunts
choreographed
by the posturing
Portuguese.
After the match
Mourinho said that,
as they thought they
should talk only to
the boss, he would
talk only to their
bosses and asked
them to go and
get directors
of their
newspapers and radio stations. And
the story was about him yet again
thereby ensuring that any inadequate
response to Madrids 5-0 defeat by
Barcelona earlier this season (the
subsequent match was
drawn, leaving Real
eight points adrift
of their rivals)
would be
conveniently
overlooked.
That is
what he
does. He
constructs
pr et ences
and poses
to stop us
t h i n k i n g
about defeats.
Remember how
Chelsea reverses
in the Mourinho era
were always caused by
referees? Remember how he
picked arguments and picked when
he wanted to have them?
But tomorrow, Real and Barca
meet in the Spanish Cup nal. Then
come the two legs of the Champions
League semi-nal. Mourinho knows
that this series of games will dene
his season and perhaps his career.
The sequence might give Mourinho
one more trophy and put him on
course to be the rst manager to win
the Champions League three times
with three clubs.
Or he might be a busted ush.
If Pep Guardiolas stylish
Barcelona conrm their dominance,
then Mourinhos entire repertoire of
tricks and capers will not be enough
to save his job or his reputation.
There would be no humility from
Mourinho, of course, but the myth of
his untouchable brilliance will have
been swept aside by the true quality
of Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and the rest.
Meanwhile, at Mourinhos former
club in west London, Ancelotti will
continue to demonstrate that it is
perfectly possible to go about the
business of football management
with decorum and decency.
IM THE ONE
AND ONLY:
Mourinho often
lacks decency
Picture: FELIX ORDONEZ
QPR MUST be allowed to
play Premier League
football at their grotty
little ground next season,
even if they are found
guilty of breaking the
rules when they signed
Alejandro Faurlin.
The club I
support, Norwich,
might earn
automatic
promotion if
Rangers are
docked enough
points. Or Norwich could do
what Shefeld United did in the
Carlos Tevez affair refuse to
accept tribunal decisions and
ght for two years until,
eventually, they are awarded a
multi-million-pound settlement.
Id say keeping us out of the
Premier League would be worth
90million.
But the Tevez judgment was
based on a complete
misunderstanding of the facts
and of football. And QPR have
been the best team in the
Championship since the rst
kick of the season.
Perhaps the most elegant
solution would be a points
deduction that makes no
difference to the nal positions.
But heres a thought. Neil
Warnock, who was the Blades
boss hurt by Tevez, is now the
QPR coach beneting from
Faurlin. If he were manager of a
rival club, he would surely
respond to the situation with
good grace and equanimity. Or
perhaps not.

RYAN SHAWCROSS believes
Stoke can continue their recent
great form against Manchester
City to win the FA Cup for the
rst time.
Tony Puliss side have not lost in
their last four meetings against City
and knocked them out of the FA Cup
last season
Stoke captain Shawcross, who
scored in that fth-round tie, said: Im
sure everyone will be giving Manchester
City the trophy already. Well turn up
as the underdogs. We usually are and
thats ne.
Well go under the radar and
hopefully it will suit us and well
perform well on the day.
Despite doing well against City
recently, we still recognise they are a
very good side. We have to be condent,
make sure we are not fazed by the
occasion.
Were often the underdogs going
into games and I think thats why we
do so well. We do well when were trying
to ght our way out of a corner.
In that tie last season, Stoke were
1-0 down until Ricardo Fuller equalised
at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Then Dave Kitson, Shawcross and
Tuncay sent them crashing out in the
replay.
And as a former Manchester United
player, Shawcross also has his issues
with City.
I would have preferred to face
United just because Im a United
fan, he said. To beat Manchester
United in the nal would have been
great, but to beat City wouldnt be
bad either.
Matthew Etherington, who scored
Stokes rst goal to start the 5-0 rout of
Bolton in the semi-nal, said: It was
an unbelievable performance, an
unbelievable result. Everyone was on
top of their game.
I caught the ball sweet for my goal
and it settled us down. Bolton looked
shell-shocked.
Ive never played in a better team
performance than that. If we can play
like that again then we can win the
nal.
Etherington played and set up a goal
in the 2006 nal for West Ham, losing
on penalties to Liverpool. Now I want
to go one better, he said.
I think about that nal a lot because
you dont know if youll ever get the
chance to play in one again but,
luckily, I now have that chance.
It took a while to get over being
beaten. It hurts.
Jermaine Pennant is also determined
to claim a winners medal at Wembley
to make up for losing the biggest game
of his career.
Pennant was in the Liverpool
Champions League team that lost to
AC Milan four years ago. He has revived
his career since joining Stoke for
1.7 million this season from Real
Zaragoza.
The Champions League is something
special and everybody wants to play in
that, he said. But it doesnt take
anything away from the FA Cup and
this is going to be a massive game
for us.
It will be Stokes rst FA Cup nal
and a winners medal would rank ahead
of his Champions League runners-up
medal for Pennant.
It is a great achievement for me to
get to the cup nal and a great
achievement for the club, said
Pennant.
Manchester City are a good team
and we know that it is going to be
difcult. But nobody likes playing
against Stoke. We will make it difcult
for them.
I think people will now want us to
win because we have not spent the
money Manchester City have.
People had said we were not
worthy of being in the nal or good
enough. We proved them wrong.
You always want to win
medals and you never think
those days are gone. I have
got another opportunity
and will try to make
the best of it.
