shame for her existence. Warm tears flowed from her face on to the feet of the

complete fools? Last week I heard a classic little example
from the new man in charge of agriculture and sundry environmental bits and bobs, like nuclear power. Dr Jack Cunningham did not have to be a minister for six weeks to become insufferable. He has managed that, steadily and consistently, ever since he emerged from; the mass of Labour politicians many years
ago.He has that air of combative, smug arrogance that puts him in the front rank of politicians you would like to see heading for the nearest political banana skin — along with Peter Mandleson, Michael Howard, Harriet Harman . . .. afraid there is not room for the full list.

Anyway, Dr Cunningham was rebutting charges from Greenpeace that his knowledge of, and interest in, nuclear power and agrochemicals disqualified him from handling his remit properly. His response, given with that air of infi nite superiority which wants to make you start tearing up

and it does not work for me either. Knowing about some thing is not the same as being a supporter of the indus-

BIG TIME BECKONS FOR JAZZ MEN
THE times they are a changing for a couple of local musicians making their
way in the jazz world. MilfP Martin, of West Bradford, and John Mars-
den, of Clitheroe, who are members of the Cot ton Club band, have had their biggest boost to
date. The six-piece jazz/blues ensemble have been booked

successful.
