As the world’s athletes get ready for the start of the Olympic Games on July 27, Londoners are griping about huge traffic and public transport delays, and a massive, hectoring security presence.
London's rioters are the product of a crumbling nation and an indifferent political class that has turned its back on them, says a columnist in The Daily Telegraph
For years, European film boards have been competing with offers of tax breaks and subsidies to lure major US film producers to their studios. France is the latest country to adopt such a strategy, but it still lacks the appropriate infrastructure.
In virtually every major European city, long-established locals and artists are fighting against the gentrification of their neighbourhoods. But the arty types are falling out of favour, observes the author Tanja Dückers. No longer hailed as the rebellious vanguard, they are actually bent on joining the establishment.

Writing in the Guardian, Anna Minton reports on a new Britain where seemingly innocuous activities such as eating or taking photographs are now forbidden.
