This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non- departmental public bodies (NDPBs), and in the health, education, social and care services. All public office- holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services. Principle I will show this by 1. Selflessness Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. 2. Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships. 3. Objectivity Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias. 4. Accountability Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this. 5. Openness Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing. 6. Honesty Holders of public office should be truthful. 7. Leadership Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

  • Thin Blue Lines: Product Placement and the Drama of Pregnancy Testing in British Cinema and Television

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:10.1017/S0007087417000619 Thin blue lines: product placement and the drama of pregnancy testing in British cinema and television JESSE OLSZYNKO-GRYN* Abstract. This article uses the case of pregnancy testing in Britain to investigate the process whereby new and often controversial reproductive technologies are made visible and normal- ized in mainstream entertainment media. It shows how in the 1980s and 1990s the then nascent product placement industry was instrumental in embedding pregnancy testing in British cinema and television’s dramatic productions. In this period, the pregnancy-test close- up became a conventional trope and the thin blue lines associated with Unilever’s Clearblue rose to prominence in mainstream consumer culture. This article investigates the aestheticiza- tion of pregnancy testing and shows how increasingly visible public concerns about ‘schoolgirl mums’, abortion and the biological clock, dramatized on the big and small screen, propelled the commercial rise of Clearblue. It argues that the Clearblue close-up ambiguously concealed as much as it revealed; abstraction, ambiguity and flexibility were its keys to success. Unilever first marketed the leading Clearblue brand of home pregnancy test in the mid- 1980s. Since then home pregnancy tests have become a ubiquitous and highly familiar reproductive technology and diagnostic tool.

Displacement, whether forced or self- imposed is is in many ways a calamity. The study of trans-cultural literature might be the study of the way in which cultures recognize themselves through their projections of ‘otherness’. The diasporic production of cultural meanings occurs in many areas, such as contemporary music, film, theatre and dance, but writing is one of the most interesting and strategic ways in which diaspora might disrupt the binary of local and global and problematize national, racial and ethnic formulations of identity. The diasporic Indian writers of the first generation have already established their credentials by winning numerous literary awards and honours. But recently the ranks of the second generation of Indian writers in the west have swelled enormously and many among them have won international recognition.

  • The World Rides Lancashire Dalesrail: Black and Asian History Along the Line Aidan Turner-Bishop
    Tales from DalesRail The World rides Lancashire DalesRail: Black and Asian history along the line Aidan Turner-Bishop DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or [email protected]. Lancashire DalesRail runs from Blackpool and Preston, through Blackburn and Clitheroe, to join the scenic Settle & Carlisle railway at Hellifield and then on to the Border city of Carlisle. ‘Black’ history of people of African and Asian heritage may seem a long way from the wild slopes of Mallerstang and the lush fields of the Ribble and Eden valleys but this isn’t so. African and Asian people have lived and worked in the area for over a thousand years since the days of the Roman Empire as we shall discover. There is a Chinese saying that “a journey of a thousand li (miles) begins with a single step”. In our case this starts at Blackpool North station. Blackpool is the setting for Gurinder Chadha’s 1993 comedy film Bhaji on the beach, written by Meera Syal, in which a group of British women (mainly Punjabis of various faiths) enjoy a busy day out at the Blackpool Illuminations. Artists from over the world have starred in Blackpool. They include Dame Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, and Sammy Davis Junior. Nat King Cole The African-American historian, writer, politician, journalist, and Baptist minister George Washington Williams (1849-1891) is buried in Layton cemetery, Blackpool.

  • Diasporic Experience in Meera Syal's Anita and Me
    DIASPORIC EXPERIENCE IN MEERA SYAL’S ANITA AND ME POORNIMA M. D. DR. V. UNNIKRISHNAN Ph. D. Scholar Professor Department of English Department of English Karpagam University Karpagam University Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (INDIA) Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (INDIA) This paper depicts the diasporic experiences of Indian migrants in the novel Anita and Me which was written by Meera Syal. Syal is a British English writer who was born to Punjabi parents in Wolverhampton. She uses her personal experiences as an Indian descendant in the novel. She has written two novels Anita and Me and Life Isn’t All Ha Ha Hee Hee. The novel Anita and Me is said to be a semi-autobiographical novel. Syal has brought out the diasporic aspects such as culture shock, alienation, assimilation, common history and myth, formation of ethnic group, longing for home ambience and longing to visit the imagined ancestral home, maintaining religious beliefs and so on. Acculturation and assimilation play a vital role while depicting the diasporic experiences and the novel also depicts the difference between experience of the first and the second generation migrants. Encounter of Eastern and Western ways of life produces hybrid characteristics among the Indian migrants. It is brought out through the attires of Indian characters; their food habits also enfold them in their ethnic community. This paper also represents restrictions that these migrants face in the host land. Keywords: Diasporic experiences, assimilation, adoption, cultural differences Introduction: C.Vijayasree remarks that when women writers write about diaspora, they discover several challenged ‘spaces within the diaspora, address multiple forms of oppression and render definitive versions of diaspora impossible.’(61).

  • London As a Hub of Indian1 Film and Television Networks
    Information, Society and Justice, Volume 2.1, December 2008: pp 21-36 ISSN 1756-1078 (Online); DOI: 10.3734/isj.2008.2103 London as a hub of Indian1 film and television networks Shehina Fazal∗ Abstract The paper seeks to articulate the presence of media from India - both as multinational players as well as media for the Indian diaspora communities living in the city. It attempts to analyse the implications of these global media networks in London’s audio-visual economy, often referred to by policy makers as a positive influence on the city’s cultural and creative industries. The context of the paper is the significance of Indian television and film in London and the interrelated elements of how these local developments connect with the expansion of the media actors globally. Media and cultural clusters in urban systems are often the local entry points of the global media corporations. Introduction London has a number of South Asian diaspora communities living in the city, following the post-war migration in the middle of the 20th century. South Asian cultural activities have been occurring on a regular basis in the city, with film festivals screening films from the Indian subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka; The Festival of India was held in London in 2007 to ensure that the country is firmly imprinted in the city as it has ‘A booming modern economy tied to a vibrant culture - India’s future matters to us all’ (Time Out-India Now booklet 2007). Furthermore, India is the second largest country investing in London, following USA; UK follows USA as a destination for overseas investments by Indian companies.

  • Curriculum Vitae Chila Kumari Burman
    ! ! Curriculum Vitae Chila Kumari Burman Brought up in Liverpool and educated at the Slade School of Art in London, Chila Kumari Burman has worked experimentally across printmaking, painting, sculpture, photography and film since the mid-1980s. She draws on fine and pop art imagery in intricate multi- layered works which explore Asian femininity and her personal family history, and where Bollywood bling merges with childhood memories. The Bindi Girls are a series of female figures composed almost entirely of colourful and glittery bindis, gems and crystals. Meticulously handcrafted and embellished, they suggest a powerful yet playful femininity. From bindis and other fashion accessories to ice cream cones and ice lolly wrappers, Chila often uses everyday materials in her work, giving new meaning to items which others may see as worthless, cheap or kitsch. Ice Cream has a particular significance in her work and references her childhood in Liverpool where her father, who arrived as an immigrant from India in the 1950s, owned an ice cream van and was a popular figure as he drove around selling ice cream for over thirty years. As well as paying homage to her father, her Ice Cream works evoke the awakening of her own creative spirit when as a child she would help out in the ice cream van and became immersed in a world of colour, flavour and materials. Chila Kumari Burman’s work is held in a number of public and private collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Wellcome Trust in London, and the Devi Foundation in New Delhi.
