Guardian Unlimited | Comment is free | A man's best friend is his dog? Are you barking? I have always detested the way in which dogs foul the environment. I am baffled by the capacity of many (but by no means all) dog owners to assume that everybody shares the same deep regard for their mutt as they do and I am upset by the tendency of many of these same people to rank a dog's happiness, rights and quality of life as just as important as a human's. When I lived in south east London, it was impossible to take the children to the park without finishing the day scraping poo off their shoes.

Guardian Unlimited | Comment is free | Regrets? Too few to mention any in particular Rubbing shoulders with the super rich, he never heeded the early warning over the Ecclestone donation, so cash for coronets may dog him yet. If he rides off into a sunset of corporate greed and not public service, he risks tainting how his years in office are seen in retrospect. He never talked of equality. Yesterday, again he celebrated the arrival of oligarchs to tax-haven London. Fear of offending the rich led to Britain's inequality-gap rising, so redistribution to the poor was like running up a down escalator of cash. The question now is whether a new leader can halt those rampant forces driving society ever further apart.

Deborah Orr: He failed to stand up for the people most in need - Independent Online Edition > Deborah Orr Many of the young people classed as Neets (not in education, employment or training) are caught between a wider culture of aspiration and a failure, for all sorts of significant reasons, to access the skills-based economy. They dream of the easy and plentiful money they see in the media, or opt to join the supply side of easily accessible market in illegal drugs, and reject the reality of hard-earned, meagre wages.

Deborah Orr: He failed to stand up for the people most in need - Independent Online Edition > Deborah Orr It's just as perfectly, palpably plain though, that London is heaving also with poverty, disenfranchisement and nihilism. Walking into some pockets of deprivation is like walking into a war zone, with shops grimy and blackened enough to look almost burnt out, or children's playgrounds so neglected and abused that they mock the very notion of anything at all being "childsplay". Danger is a presence here too, but it is not charged up with glamour. It is threatening, sinister, depressing, dispiriting and hopeless. Not so occasionally the stabbing or shooting of a schoolboy, or a boy who should be a schoolboy, confirms that the threat of violence that pervades such places is quite, quite real.
