UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: The monthly comment from CTM founder, Phillip Day.

BRITAIN MOST SPIED UPON IN THE WORLD: Britain is one of the surveillance capitals of the world with everyday movements subject to more and more scrutiny. 20% of the world's spy cameras are in the UK - one for every 12 people.
AN OCCASIONAL EURO-BRIEFING WITH DANIEL HANNAN: Conservative MP Daniel Hannan talks about the uncomfortable reality of the cost to businesses of EU red tape.
POLICE TO MUZZLE DOG SQUADS: Police dogs are being muzzled to stop them biting and injuring suspected criminals, it emerged yesterday. The policy, devised by North Wales Police, comes as a result of increased compensation claims from members of the public who have been bitten by police dogs.
WHERE DOES ALL THIS 'RECYCLING' ACTUALLY GO? The press has rightly been having a field day with the absurdities of the new system introduced by local councils to promote the recycling of rubbish.

CRAZY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD IS KILLING US: Dame Deirdre Hutton said children develop a 'strange relationship' with food from a young age. The head of a Government watchdog today warned British people have the worst diets in Europe.
HOSPITAL FOOD GETTING BETTER: Many hospitals across the United States are now offering healthier food and more environmentally sound food options. Some hospitals have created on-site farmers' markets, while others have hired professional chefs to run their kitchens.
PECANS LOWER HEART DISEASE RISK: Eating a handful of pecans each day could help reduce the threat of heart disease, a new study shows.

NEW ZEALAND FACING NATURAL PRODUCTS REGULATION DESPITE NO EVIDENCE OF DANGER: A report just released by the Acting Chair of the Coroner's Council has shown natural medicines have the lowest fatality rate of all medical treatments in New Zealand.
IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST...IT COULD BE YOUR MEDICINE: Dr James Le Fanu discusses the often overlooked connection between drugs to treat one condition and the cause of another.
FLU JABS FOR MUMS-TO-BE: Pregnant women are to be given flu jabs from next year in a mass vaccination drive that could protect their unborn children from leukaemia.
GENDER BENDING CHEMICALS: Chemical pollutants that mimic the female hormone oestrogen may play a part in the development of breast cancer and could account for the increase in cases, scientists said yesterday.
BREAST CANCER SCREENS MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD: New research found that for every 2,000 women invited to have mammograms, one would have their life prolonged but 10 would endure potentially devastating and unnecessary treatment.
CALIFORNIA INFANTS TO BE INJECTED WITH MERCURY-LACED VACCINES: California health officials announced today that children younger than three will be temporarily allowed to receive flu shots containing a mercury-laced preservative called thimerosal, after physicians state-wide said mercury-free vaccines were running short.
INFERTILITY ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY: Mobile phones have been identified as a cause of reduced sperm production in men. Microwaves emitted by the phones reduce the number, motility and quality of sperm by almost half in the heaviest users, to the point where some men may become infertile, scientists say.
SCIENTISTS URGE CAUTION/MORE RESEARCH ON EMFS: A group of scientists are urging people to take sensible precautions against potential health risks related to exposure to electromagnetic fields.
