Advantages: Politically independent, sceptical, strong on the environment and civil liberties Disadvantages: Above average price, some unexceptional columnists
Recently, Tony Blair had the effrontery to carp at what he described as ?the fusion of comment and news? by British newspapers, in effect accusing them playing free and easy with the truth. This was pretty rich, coming from someone that had done so much to elevate spin and news manipulation to their present eminence in British politics. Reflecting, though, on the antics of some of the popular press, particularly those that have bent over backwards to support him, one felt that there might be a germ of something in what he said, despite the identity of the person saying it.

I iwould just like to write a review on independant stores, that has come from my own experiences of living in Plymouth - a city whereby its main shopping centre is almost split in to two different areas as we shall see from my writings.
For those of you who are familiar with the layout of Plymouth city centre, you will know that it is laid out over two main streets that are enclosed in a main riing road system. There is a main road that runs at right angles throghout from top to bottom, from the main train railway station to the Hoe (where I must add Sir Francis Drake famously played and finished or so we think a game of bowls as the Spanish Armada were approaching).
