I will get back to the noble Baroness on the point about judges. Stalking Question Baroness Burt of Solihull (LD): My Lords, stalking has been described as murder in slow motion. While 2.37 pm the number of reported incidents has increased fourfold Asked by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon in recent years, charge rates have halved. We do not need the Minister to tell us that the police must do To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps better,although I welcome her comments about training, they are taking to ensure that all police forces have but can she tell us what plans the Home Office has the requisite training on stalking to prevent women properly to address how the police will be given the and girls being murdered or taking their own lives. compulsory training and resources to help stem this tide in human misery and save lives?

Of course, they on charge rates halving, I have acknowledged previously do not stand outside the doors of nightclubs—maybe that the figure for referrals—and therefore for charges— they do; I hope not—but I wanted to take this first has dropped. I know that the police and the CPS are opportunity to apologise, so that they know how very working together to understand why that is. I also grateful we are to them. know that my right honourable friend the Home Secretary Stalking is an insidious crime, which has a significant chairs an oversight board to understand why the figures impact on victims’well-being. Toensure that the front-line are going the way that the noble Baroness describes. response is as effective as possible, the College of Policing has recently published new advice for police Baroness Gale (Lab): My Lords, as stalking is one responders and call handlers on how to respond to of the most frequently experienced forms of abuse and reports of stalking and/or harassment.

  • Nights Underground in Darkest London: the Blitz, 1940–1941
    Nights Underground in Darkest London: The Blitz, 1940–1941 Geoffrey Field Purchase College, SUNY After the tragic events of September 11, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at once saw parallels in the London Blitz, the German air campaign launched against the British capital between September 1940 and May 1941. In the early press con- ferences at Ground Zero he repeatedly compared the bravery and resourceful- ness of New Yorkers and Londoners, their heightened sense of community forged by danger, and the surge of patriotism as a town and its population came to symbolize a nation embattled. His words had immediate resonance, despite vast differences between the two situations. One reason for the Mayor’s turn of mind was explicit: he happened at that moment to be reading John Lukacs’ Five Days in London, although the book examines the British Cabinet’s response to the German invasion of France some months before bombing of the city got un- derway. Without doubt Tony Blair’s outspoken support for the United States and his swift (and solitary) endorsement of joint military action also reinforced this mental coupling of London and New York. But the historical parallel, however imperfect, seemed to have deeper appeal. Soon after George W. Bush was telling visitors of his admiration for Winston Churchill, his speeches began to emulate Churchillian cadences, Karl Rove hung a poster of Churchill in the Old Execu- tive Office Building, and the Oval Office sported a bronze bust of the Prime Min- ister, loaned by British government.1 Clearly Churchill, a leader locked in conflict with a fascist and a fanatic, was the man for this season, someone whom all political parties could invoke and quote, someone who endured and won in the end.

Even the nearby parking tells a story; instead of cars there are hundreds of private floatplanes bobbing on their moorings. Most of our fellow travellers were carrying rods as hand luggage and, like them, we’d trav- elled thousands of miles to experience the plenitude of Pacific salmon. For many years, as a young journalist, i’d edited the copy of the great Arthur Oglesby, that titan of fly-fishing in the ’70s and ’80s. When he wasn’t pursuing 50-pound Atlantic salmon on Norway’s Vosso, Oglesby would take parties to Alaska’s Bristol Bay and i’ve never forgotten his tales of mas- sive salmon in mackerel numbers, a gilded promise of the sort of sport once enjoyed by our 19th-century forebears, bending cane rods in the highlands. But perhaps others had. With the opening up of Russia’s Kola Peninsula and the spectacular catches on the Ponoi, such as the 19 rods landing more than 1,800 fish in a week at Ryabaga Camp in 2002, fishermen looked east, not west.

His latest book was Secrets and Power in Myanmar: Intelligence and the Fall of General Khin Nyunt (Singapore, 2019). COLONIAL BURMA AND POPULAR WESTERN CULTURE: AN EXPLORATORY SURVEY Abstract Over the centuries, images of Burma in the Western imagination have been remarkably consistent. At the broadest level, they have emphasised Burma’s remoteness, strangeness and harshness, or offered a much more idealised, romantic view of the country and its people. Within these two broad schools there have been a number of recurring motifs that have helped confirm the idea of Burma’s dualistic nature, and contributed to its mixed reputation.
