NEWS and VIEWS
THIS WEEK'S STORIES
From a myriad of news and feature articles published throughout the world each week, a selection is made to republish on Connect. From those selected, our local editorial team choose specific themes to share.
Our intention is to make available thought provoking articles on major topics of interest in today's world. Whilst we have no answers, we understand enough to know, we all need to ask searching questions.
We hope you find the selection valuably informative.

PLAN TO DESTROY FARMS
There appears a clear pincer attack upon UK farmers - given the gov't's moves on farmers in the last week. Why would this happen when these dedicated people produce our food and at breakeven mostly?

THE STATE OF POLICE TODAY
The police service - and over some time now - has shown itself to be less than fit for purpose. No amount of tinkering - as believed by many - will correct this situation. Meaning a complete rebuild is required.
BP-4452B
THE RISING COST OF A DEGREE
College fees have been fixed for a while - meaning they at some point were going to be subject to an upgrade. What appears to also need an upgrade is the standard of uni-tuition itself. That's another topic!

ARE OUR PETS A REAL PROBLEM
When some people get taken by a new WEF or gov't plan to improve our chances of survival - others get really enthusiastic and start inventing madness. Is this what we're seeing here - with our pets?
