In response the UK confectioner vowed to mount a staunch defence. A counterbid from Hershey, were it to materialise at the right price, would be viewed upon more favourablyWed, 9 Sep 2009 12:08:28 +0100http://traxfer.ft.com/indepth/copenhagen-climate-conference?o=%2Frss%2Findepthhttp://www.ft.com/indepth/copenhagen-climate-conferenceAt least 65 world leaders have agreed to attend the COP15 climate change conference due to start in Copenhagen on December 7, raising the stakes on a deal being reached to curb carbon emissions.

Only in world wars or when it owned the commanding heights of industry has the British state assumed such importance. A consensus exists on the need to shrink the state but there is little detail on how to effect this, reflecting a lack of understanding of what the modern British state doesWed, 16 Sep 2009 12:24:47 +0100
