Isle of Man News, Articles and InformationThe best of British festsAt £1 a ticket, the 1,500 revellers who rambled down to Somerset in 1970 for a shambolic festival organised by a young farmer called Michael Eavis got a bargain. Not only did they watch T Rex and drink free milk from the farms dairy herd, ever since, they have had the priceless privilege of being able to brag: I was at the first-ever Glastonbury. Over the past three decades, the legends that have sprung up around the festival are such that Eaviss decision to give himself and his cattle a sabbatical this year leaves a hole in festivalgoers summer calendars. Other huge events offer impressive line-ups Radiohead and Morrissey at V festival, or Franz Ferdinand at the Carling Weekend in Leeds and Reading, for instance but away from the stages, they lack the atmosphere that is the basis of the best festival tales.
Rights and wrongsLAW exists to protect our lives and our liberties. Important issues of law arise again and again from the recurring conflict between these two objectives.Since the terrorist attacks on New York in 2001 and London in 2005, the American and British parliaments and courts have had to wrestle with this issue: How can one protect the safety of the public without injustice to the individual? Under the Romans, there was a simple, if brutal, answer: The safety of the Republic is the supreme law. That maxim is still quoted by legal authorities in our own age. But Parliament and judges have to reconcile the safety of the public with the requirement of due process of law. Last week saw two legal decisions, one in England and one in the United States, on this issue of protecting security without destroying liberty. For 62p, a year of the Queen or a minute of England v PortugalBuckingham Palace dug deep into its reserves of hubris yesterday to come up with a topical World Cup analogy for the Queen's cost to the nation.In previous years, Alan Reid, the keeper of the privy purse, has compared the 80-year-old monarch to the price of a loaf of bread and two pints of milk. This time, issuing the Royal Public Finances annual report, he claimed that the purely notional annual cost of Her Majesty to her subjects was 62p a head, or a minute's worth of attendance at Saturday's England versus Portugal match. .

This has resulted in families taking on the additional responsibilities of care for their disabled child. Burr (2000) established that the 'trend in care has shifted from institutions to the child's home, placing considerable responsibility, work and expense on the family'. The government paper Saving Lives (DoH, 1999) recognises this shift and advocates that community nurses play a crucial part within the scope of public health in maintaining the well being of children and their families. Therefore, effective planning for continuing care needs is crucial (Muir & Dryden, 2000) and will ensure improving life chances for children as recommended within the government's papers Valuing People (DoH, 2001), Every Child Matters (DoH, 2003) and Getting the right start (DoH, 2003) and keeping within public health targets.SA pastor falls from grace on Isle of ManSouth African Pieter van Rooyen has had it good in the United Kingdom, working as a senior manager for Barclays Bank and heading his own popular church - but the lure of cheap, illegal labour from back home could prove to be his undoing. Van Rooyen was headhunted by Barclays, one of the world's biggest banks, in 2001. Last year, he, his wife Sonja and their two daughters, Lezandri, 14, and Shandri, 12, settled on the Isle of Man, where he subsequently started the Life Church. But his peaceful existence with his family came to a grinding halt last week, when he was accused of flying in illegal immigrants from South Africa to renovate his house, and paying them slave wages - about 1,36 (R18) an hour. .Letter: The lion and the foxMany kinds of animals are used to illustrate the lessons of politics and statecraft: Here I will mention only two, the lion and the fox.Several familiar historical analogies are used and reused to make political points; here I will use one that is probably unfamiliar to most readers and let them draw from it what they will: the tragedy of Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator. Almost two centuries ago, Daniel O'Connell was the lion of the Irish Catholics' movement for freedom and representation in the British parliament. At the time, the only Irish who could be elected to parliament were Protestants. Both the Protestants (oranges) and Catholics (greens) were Gaelic and often considered themselves Irish, but the former had come from Scotland at the behest of the British Crown. Thus, they were considered loyal to England.
