    Martin Rowson on Free Speech and Cartoons Nigel Warburton: Martin Rowson is a satirical cartoonist. I asked him about free speech, cartoons, and causing offence. Don’t listen to this podcast if you are offended by swearing. Nigel Warburton: Michael Rowson, welcome to Free Speech Bites. Michael Rowson: Hello. Nigel Warburton: The topic we're going to focus on is free speech and cartoons. I wonder if you could begin by saying something about your own work as a cartoonist. Michael Rowson: I suppose I have a bit of a reputation for being one of the more hard- hitting Lefty cartoonists, and I'm very fortunate - this isn't just brown-nosing - to work for the Guardian who tolerate that kind of thing from me and Steve Bell, although sometimes I think they don't notice until it's too late. I see myself, very proudly actually, as part of a uniquely British tradition. We are, as a country, the only country in the world that has had over 300 years of tolerated visual satire, which hasn't been subjected to the kind of constraints it has in other countries around the world, which is why, since the advent of the Internet, when Steve and I have had our work available to a global audience, we have had such visceral responses from people who are just not used to this kind of thing. As soon as they started putting our work on the Guardian website and the Guardian website took off in America, the traffic of hate mail, hate email, from America, was quite extraordinary, quite deliberately targeted.

    This Book Compares Resistance to Technology Across Time, Nations and Tech- Nologies

    This book compares resistance to technology across time, nations and tech- nologies. Three post-war technologies - nuclear power, information technology and biotechnology - are used in the analysis. The focus is on post-1945 Europe, with comparisons made with the USA, Japan and Australia. Instead of assuming that resistance contributes to the failure of a technology, the main thesis of this book is that resistance is a constructive force in technological development, giving technology its particular shape in a particular context. Whilst many people still believe in science and technology, many have become more sceptical of the allied 'progress'. By exploring the idea that modernity creates effects that undermine its own foundations, forms and effects of resistance are explored in various contexts. The book presents a unique interdisciplinary study, including contributions from historians, sociologists, psychologists and political scientists.

It is being submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Acknowledgements Thanks to Professor Stephanie Tailby, Professor Sian Moore and Dr Mike Richardson for their continuous encouragement, support and constructive criticisms. 5 Abstract The National Graphical Association (NGA) typified the British model of craft unionism with substantial positional power and organisational strength. This study finds that it relied upon, and was reinforced by, the common occupational bonds that members identified with. It concludes that the value of collective identity warrants greater attention in the debate over union renewal alongside theories around mobilisation and organising (Kelly 2018), alliance-building and social movements (Holgate 2014). Sectionalism builds solidarity through the exclusion of others. Occupational identity is vulnerable to technological change. This model neglects institutional and ‘associational’ power, eschewing legal protections in favour of collective bargaining and ignoring alliance-building in favour of sovereign authority.

Since Benjamin Disraeli, Conservatives have endeavoured to represent national rather than sectional interests and appeal widely to a growing electorate. Yet, the middle classes and their interests have also enjoyed a special position in the Conservative political imagination often because the group insists they receive special consideration. It proved especially difficult to juggle these priorities after 1951 when Conservatives encountered two colliding challenges: the middle classes growing at a rapid rate, failing to form a unified outlook or identity, and the limited appeal of consumer rhetoric and interests owing to the uneven experience of affluence and prosperity. Conservative ideas and policies failed to acknowledge and resonate with the changing nature of their core supporters and antiquated local party organization reinforced feelings of alienation from and mistrust of new members of the middle classes as well as affluent workers.
