На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения. Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять. Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона.
Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается.
А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель. Предполагается, что целью его поездки является попытка уменьшить разногласия между нашей страной и Европейским Экономическим Сообществом по поводу доли Британии в бюджете Сообщества.
Появились признаки того, что некоторые европейские лидеры едва ли принимают нынешнее предложение Британии всерьез, и в Уайтхолле осознают то, что главная задача мистера Риппона в настоящий момент — сделать ясным для Шестерки, что в самой стране предложение считают разумным и реалистичным. Вопрос о присоединении к Странам Общего Рынка также был затронут сегодня официальными лицами Национального Союза Фермеров во время обсуждения брошюры, изданной Штаб-квартирой консервативной партии. В брошюре утверждается, что если Британия присоединиться к Общему рынку, то в общем и целом положение фермеров улучшится.
When pressed to say where her roots are, she recalled the image in the Koran of a tree that has its roots not in the earth but in the air. With an unprecedentedly mobile world population, writers are everywhere on the frontline of cultural exchange, putting into words the experiences of millions whose own identities are contested and denied. Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil. When David Edgar, chairing a session on theatre and censorship, asked the Northern Irish playwright Gary Mitchell whether he spoke for the Protestant community in North Belfast, Mitchell replied pugnaciously that he spoke only for himself.
Mitchell knows all too well what it means to be accused of representing a community.
