<description><![CDATA[The pound&#8217;s fall is signalling deeper worries about the economyWHATEVER reassurances ministers may offer about the prospects for the economy, the judgment of the foreign-exchange markets is more telling, for it is backed by money. That judgment is a harsh one. The pound has fallen sharply against the dollar over the past month, closing at $1.84, its lowest for over two years, on August 26th.Sterling has not been alone in slipping against the dollar. The euro fell almost as steeply during August. But the latest setback to the pound follows a bigger and longer devaluation against the euro that started a year ago (see chart). Altogether, sterling&#8217;s trade-weighted index (in which the euro has a weight of 54% compared with the dollar&#8217;s 16.5%) has declined by over 13% in the past 12 months, reaching its lowest point since 1996. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Britain&#8217;s privatised airports may slip back into public handsALONG with cricket and the industrial revolution, privatisation must rank high on any list of Britain&#8217;s intangible exports that have helped shape the world. Margaret Thatcher&#8217;s wholesale auctioning of huge parts of the state, from telephones to water utilities, has been widely trumpeted (if less widely emulated) as the cure for all economic ills. So one of the ironies to emerge from plans by the competition regulator to break up BAA, the privatised company which owns Britain&#8217;s biggest airports, is that the leading bidder for some of its airstrips is itself in public ownership.Two decades after they were privatised, Britain&#8217;s main airports are a shambles. Terminals and runways are so overcrowded that flights depart late and bags are lost. Their perennially faulty plumbing has become a point of pride for many visitors from Africa; the lavatories at the airports back home work better. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why a top non-white political leader is some way off in Britain&#8220;WE&#8217;RE looking at the politics of hope, as opposed to the politics of fear.&#8221; That sentiment has spurred millions of Americans to support Barack Obama this year in his bid to become president. The words on this occasion, though, were spoken by a Briton. Simon Woolley, head of Operation Black Vote, a campaign group, wants to use Mr Obama&#8217;s popularity to get Britain&#8217;s racial minorities more engaged in the political process.The prospect of a British Obama&#8212;a politician of colour who could become a national leader&#8212;seems plausible given the racial mix in London alone. But differences between Britain and America explain why it may take a while. Only 8% of Britons are non-white, whereas blacks on their own account for 12% of the American population: the pool from which potential leaders may emerge is smaller. Britain&#8217;s more fragmented minorities also have less shared political consciousness than African-Americans, whose experience of slavery and segregation produced the zeal behind the civil-rights movement and campaigns for affirmative action. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The largest wave of immigration in British history is petering out, and may soon reverse. But east European migrants have left a lasting markSUPERMARKET aisles offer amateur ethnographers rich opportunities for fieldwork. American pockets in London can be identified by the Thanksgiving displays in November; sour cherry juice suggests that Turks are close at hand. Now great rows of tinned borscht announce a newer arrival. Recent immigration from eastern Europe has been on a truly grand scale: Tesco, Britain&#8217;s biggest retailer, now runs a groceries website in Polish.Just over a million people have so far come to Britain from the eight central and east European countries that joined the European Union in 2004. John Salt, a geographer at University College London, reckons it is the biggest influx in British history, at least in gross terms (immigration by French Huguenots in the 17th century may have been bigger relative to the population at the time). Poles, who have made up about two-thirds of the newcomers, are now the largest group of foreign nationals in Britain, up from 13th place five years ago. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Immigrants and babies could make Britain the EU&#8217;s biggest countryIF DEMOGRAPHY is destiny, then the British are roaring forward. On August 27th Eurostat, the European Union&#8217;s statistical service, predicted that by 2060 Britain would be the EU&#8217;s largest country, with a population of 77m (compared with around 61m today). Germany, the current top dog, will see its 82m citizens dwindle to 71m over the same period. Britain&#8217;s boom will be fuelled by a mix of immigration and a comparatively high birth rate (partly a consequence of the higher fecundity of its immigrants).Besides getting bigger, Britain will also remain youthful, at least by EU standards. Although the share of people over 65 will rise from 16% to 25% by 2060, that will still mean fewer greybeards than anywhere else in Europe except Luxembourg. Eurostatisticians prophesy that Britain will suffer less stress on its pensions and social-security systems than faster-ageing countries. Yet not all Britons revel in the idea of millions of new citizens.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Measures to further sport will work better for the elite than for the massesWHILE lacking, perhaps, the cohesion of the men&#8217;s coxless four or the cycling pursuit team who won golds for Britain in Beijing, the unlikely quartet of footballers and pop stars led by Boris Johnson at least managed to accept the Olympic flag from China without dropping it. The whimsy of the British performance at the Olympic handover, featuring twirling umbrellas and a doubledecker bus, suggested that Britain would not attempt to match the pageantry and stadiums that cost China billions. It plans to rely heavily on what London&#8217;s mayor hopefully calls Britain&#8217;s &#8220;wit and flair&#8221;.As far as the sporting competition is concerned, however, Britain will give no quarter. Basking in the afterglow of the country&#8217;s most successful Olympic games in a century, Gordon Brown has big plans for developing sport in Britain. The prime minister&#8217;s initiatives include attempts to get more girls involved, funding to give schoolchildren five hours of sport a week and a return to competitive games in schools (on the wane since the 1960s). More money is also expected for community sports facilities. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A debate over introducing the birds and the bees in primary schoolsA COMMON complaint about education in Britain is that everything begins too early: four-year-olds start school shortly after abandoning afternoon naps; toddlers barely able to hold a pen are supposed to form letters. Yet one subject, some say, is left too late. Sex education first appears on the compulsory curriculum when pupils between 11 and 14 years old learn the basics in science class; relationships, sexually transmitted diseases and the inadvisability of conceiving in one&#8217;s teens are relegated to the optional &#8220;personal, social and health education&#8221;. Primary schools need only have a policy on sex education&#8212;and for some that policy is &#8220;we don&#8217;t teach it&#8221;. Backed by sexual-health and children&#8217;s charities, a cross-party group of MPs is trying to change all that. In an open letter to the government, published in the Daily Telegraph on August 26th, they call for all sex education, not just the mechanics, to be made compulsory, and to start much earlier. That, they say, could help to cut the number of British teenagers who become pregnant: at 40 per thousand girls under 18 each year, Britain&#8217;s rate is outstripped in the developed world only by America&#8217;s.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The economic downturn has brought taxation back to the centre of political debate&#8212;but inside parties rather than between themONE of the oddities of the New Labour era has been the disappearance of tax (politically, not financially). The public has seemed blithely confident that the share of the nation&#8217;s wealth taken by government has been more or less correct&#8212;even as that proportion has risen by a couple of percentage points. After his three predecessors failed in their bids to beat Labour by challenging that consensus, David Cameron, the Conservative leader, decided to join his opponents instead, abandoning tax levels as an electoral issue. Now, suddenly, tax may be making a comeback.Gordon Brown will soon embark on his latest relaunch. At its centre will be what some describe as an &#8220;economic plan&#8221; (though others, wary of inflating expectations, prefer less grandiose labels). The plan (or whatever) seems set to have two main components: assistance for the grim housing market and help with fuel costs for low-income families. Mr Brown is being urged by some in his party to make tax part of the plan too, by, for example, raising rates on very high-earners to fund a cut for the rest. But the idea that has caused most excitement is that of imposing a windfall tax on energy firms&#8212;whose tariffs have been rising along with their profits&#8212;to pay for a fuel subsidy. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dismembering BAA should make it possible to develop a second hub airport for the capital and its regionAFTER years of being shamed by ever shabbier and more overcrowded airports, Britain is at last getting around to doing the right thing. On August 20th the Competition Commission, which investigates whether markets are working properly, released the damning findings of a 17-month study into the country&#8217;s airports. The report envisages the dismembering of BAA, the country&#8217;s dominant airports operator, as well as other proposals that amount to a wholesale rewrite of the government&#8217;s cherished aviation policy.The commission blamed long delays, overcrowding and a shortage of capacity that has long bedevilled Heathrow, the world&#8217;s busiest international airport, on a flawed regulatory regime, poor policy and, most important of all, BAA&#8217;s ownership of the three main London airports&#8212;Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. It plans to force BAA to sell two of the three as well as another airport in Scotland.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why Britain&#8217;s athletes have done so wellEVERY four years in summer, the British prepare for their team to be gallant losers in the Olympics. But this August has brought winner upon winner. As The Economist went to press, the British team stood in third place in the medals table with 17 golds, behind only China and America, the most since 1908 when Britain hosted the games and fielded a third of the competitors, including all of them in some events. With some exceptions, such as Rebecca Adlington&#8217;s two golds in the pool, Britain&#8217;s medals were concentrated in three &#8220;sitting-down&#8221; sports: cycling, sailing and rowing. The achievements of the cyclists, winning eight golds, four silvers and two bronzes, were especially notable; Chris Hoy (shown in the picture) scored a golden hat-trick.

<description><![CDATA[What lies behind a tiff over drug pricingONE of Labour&#8217;s early health-care reforms was to set up a body to work out how cost-effective new drugs are&#8212;and whether they are therefore worthwhile for the publicly financed NHS. Although the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has now been going for nine years, it is only recently that it has run into the sort of bitter controversy that always seemed likely to dog such a body. Stung by recent criticisms, Sir Michael Rawlins, NICE&#8217;s chairman, retaliated in an interview published in the Observer on August 17th. Why, he asked, did NICE always get the blame for saying no, when its supposedly stingy decisions were caused by the high prices set by drug companies? Why was no one questioning their fat profits, or their chief executives&#8217; big bonuses? ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The government digs its heels inFOR education, August is the cruellest month. GCSE results follow hot on the heels of A-level ones, sparking annual debates over whether pupils&#8217; ever-more stellar performance reflects well on them and their schools, or badly on a government and exam system that encourage grade inflation. This year was no exception. The GCSE results, published on August 21st, of the first cohort educated entirely under Labour were record-breaking, as usual. A-levels likewise saw more passes, and more top grades. Breast-beating duly ensued. This year, though, a related issue has moved to the fore: whether over-testing in schools is leading to under-education. A review of primary education being co-ordinated by Cambridge University found that by the end of primary school children in England had taken more external tests than those in every other country the researchers had looked at. This is narrowing education and distorting the curriculum by encouraging teaching to the test, concluded a committee of MPs. And the pattern of relentless testing continues in secondary school, with external exams at 14, 16, 17 and 18.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The prime minister vanished; the leader of the opposition materialised in Tbilisi. Britain had a bad warHOLIDAYS in the BlackBerry era can be divided into two categories: &#8220;soft&#8221; (where the vacationer stays in radar contact and continues to exercise his thumbs) and &#8220;hard&#8221; (when he staves off divorce by switching everything off). David Cameron&#8217;s holiday was plainly in the soft category: one moment canoodling on a Cornish beach, the leader of the Conservative Party reappeared in Tbilisi, glad-handing Georgia&#8217;s embattled president. Meanwhile Gordon Brown, a prime minister famously, even worryingly, averse to relaxation, mostly sat out the Caucasian crisis in his holiday redoubt. Neither has distinguished himself. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like abroad,&#8221; King George V once remarked, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been there.&#8221; Mr Brown is often said to have a similar attitude to, and aptitude for, foreign relations. He gets worked up about globalisation and poverty; but he evinces little interest in the sort of tough diplomacy and realpolitik that Russia&#8217;s gangsterism calls for. He apparently talked about Georgia with George Bush, Ban Ki-moon and the rest by phone, but let others do the face-to-face peace-mongering. David Miliband, the foreign secretary, was also inconspicuous at first, though he eventually made it to Tbilisi on August 19th, denouncing Russia&#8217;s &#8220;adventurism and aggression&#8221;. ...]]></description>

One solution, suggested recently by Ken Smith of the Buckinghamshire New University, is to accept the most common misspellings as variants rather than correct them. Mr Smith is too tolerant, but he is right that something needs to change. Due partly to its mixed Germanic and Latin origins, English spelling is strikingly inconsistent.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As long as prices surge the Bank of England cannot cut interest rates. That will not help a floundering governmentOVER the past few months the economy has developed a disquieting tendency to outgloom the gloomiest prediction. The housing market in particular has fared much worse than expected as house prices, turnover and residential investment have all tumbled. That is one big reason why economic activity is turning down sharply, trumping earlier forecasts of a moderate slowdown and pushing up the jobless count. But above all the upsurge in inflation has proved far more extreme than was once projected. The Bank of England has the task of keeping the annual rate of inflation, measured by the consumer-prices index (CPI), at 2%. As recently as March it appeared to be on top of the job: inflation, at 2.5%, was only a bit higher than the official target. But by May inflation had reached 3.3% and it vaulted to 4.4% in July. The 0.6 percentage-point rise since June, when inflation was 3.8%, was the biggest since the series started in 1997. ...]]></description>
