Help The Aged Poll Reveals Growing Strength Of 'Grey Power'
Britain's older voters have the potential to make a decisive impact on the next general election. Those aged over 64 are potentially four times as powerful a group as younger voters (aged 18-24) - they are twice as likely to vote, and there are twice as many of them. Their priorities are distinct from those of younger electors, and how each party addresses their concerns may play a central role in the next general election.

17,000 Healthy Dogs Destroyed In UK Last Year
A MORI survey published on 7 July 2000 reveals that an estimated 17,000 healthy dogs were destroyed in the UK last year. The NCDL, the UK's largest dog welfare charity, believes that the actual number of dogs destroyed in the UK could be nearer 50,000 if all dog handling agencies are taken into consideration. This equates to around 137 healthy dogs being destroyed every day, either because their owners could not be traced or a new owner could not be found - a situation the NCDL finds totally unacceptable.

Polls Apart? The Public and the Monarchy
Two polls published on successive days this week - by MORI in the Sunday Telegraph [ROYAL FAMILY POLL] and ICM in the Guardian [Rising indifference to Royal Family] - seemed to suggest very different attitudes to the future of the monarchy and the Royal Family. In fact, their findings are far from contradictory, and although there are certainly some danger signs within them for the Royal Family they are by no means as bad as the Guardian's dramatic "SUPPORT FOR ROYAL FAMILY FALLS TO NEW LOW" headline might suggest.
