Discontent dims the glamour of the Cameroons

A senior aide to British Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned after being arrested on suspicion of child pornography offences, Downing Street confirmed Monday. Patrick Rock, 62, was arrested by officers from the National Crime Agency last month.

Prime Minister David Cameron apologized Wednesday for the “appalling” standard of care at a British hospital and said doctors and nurses should have been fired.

David Cameron has refused publicly to support the Duke of York over allegations he “sexually abused” a teenager. Asked about the controversy for the first time since the claims were made last week, the Prime Minister would only say in a radio interview: “I’m not going to make any comment on it. “Obviously, the Prince has made his own views very, very clear and I think I’ll leave it at that.”

Two people accused of enslaving three women for more than 30 years had been on the radar of the authorities since the 1970s when they were arrested by police. The pair, thought to be Asian and illegal immigrants, were first arrested by the Metropolitan Police almost 40 years ago. They were detained again Thursday morning as part of an investigation into slavery but were released on bail to a date in January after several hours of questioning. A spokesman for David Cameron, the British prime minister, said he regarded the case as “utterly appalling.”
