Age is the largest determinant of whether a person is likely to be ill-treated in the workplace, according to new research from MORI. The survey — Diversity Matters — conducted for The Guardian and TMP Worldwide, shows nearly a quarter (23%) of British employees claim to have fallen victim to discrimination, bullying or harassment at work.

MORI Political Monitor - Political Attitudes in Great Britain
Satisfaction with the way the government is running the country, and satisfaction with the way Tony Blair is doing his job as Prime Minister has reached an all time low. Blair's ratings are not anywhere near John Major's woeful scores — yet — but they're getting there.
