  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament
    The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament Standard Note: SN/IA/6918 Last updated: 16 June 2014 Author: Vaughne Miller Section International Affairs and Defence Section Parties are continuing negotiations to form political groups in the European Parliament (EP) following European elections on 22-25 May 2014. This note looks at the future composition of the European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR), which was established by UK Conservatives when David Cameron took them out of the centre-right EPP-ED group in 2009. It also considers what the entry of the German right-wing Alternative für Deutschland group into the ECR group might mean for Anglo-German relations. The ECR might become the third largest political group in the EP, although this depends on support for the Liberals and Democrats group. The final number and composition of EP political groups will not be known until after 24 June 2014, which is the deadline for registering groups. For detailed information on the EP election results, see Research paper 14/32, European Parliament Elections 2014, 11 June 2014.

  • Exclusive Interview with Dr
    State: A Last Resort for People Exclusive interview with Dr. Syed Kamall Conducted by Bardia Garshasbi in London– July 2014 Syed Kamall is a phenomenon in his own right. He comes from an ordinary Guyanese family who migrated to London in mid-1950s. His father was a bus driver, and now at the age of 47, he is the leader of the Britain’s Conservative Party in the European Parliament, representing the people of London in that parliament since 2005, when he was only 38! Having degrees from some of the world’s most prestigious universities (London School of Economics and City University London) Dr. Kamall also chairs the European Conservatives and Reformist Group, the EU Parliament’s third largest group with 70 MEPs who are campaigning for urgent reform of the EU and of whom Syed is, as he proudly puts it, “the first group leader from an ethnic minority and the first Muslim ever”. Dr. Kamall is one of the few successful and highly educated politicians in Europe who does not come from an elite background or rich family. His path to success has been uphill and demanding. He has firsthand knowledge of the challenges low-income families are facing in their daily lives. That is why the relief of poverty has always been a top priority for him. He works tirelessly to find ways to tackle poverty by educating the young and by creating incentives and equal opportunities for hard- working people. His constituents in London and his peers in both Britain and Europe know him for his intelligence, decency, and eloquence.
