  • Ride-Buyers: Joe and Mark
    Ride-Buyers: Joe and Mark This is a long story about two of racing’s filthy rich ride-buyers, Joe Boyer (1890-1924) and Mark Thatcher, but it begins with Boyer’s distant relative William Burroughs, the beat generation’s favorite author, who wrote bandit books like “Junky” and “Naked Lunch,” and spent his life roaming the freak earth from Algiers to Mexico City to New Orleans hanging with three of other great beatniks Dean Moriarty, Sal Paradise, and Carlo Marx (all pseudonyms). Purposely spaced out in his various personas as dope fiend, petty criminal, sexual athlete, and firearms fanatic, Burroughs once played a game of “William Tell” with his wife and, while trying to shoot an apple off her head, missed and blew her brains out. Burroughs’ grandfather was the inventor of the world’s favorite multiplication appliance, the Burroughs Adding Machine, and Joe Boyer’s father was the company’s very own Chief Executive Officer. Yet when William Burroughs died in the late 1990s it was a cultural event in print and on TV; and the last time Joe Boyer, missing since 1924, was ever accorded a tribute was back in 1985, when the Indy 500’s Old Timers club posthumously inducted him into its Hall of Fame. Too bad that the counterculture drug addict and the Brickyard’s richest ride-buyer never hooked up - they’d have made quite a twining. Until the stock market tanked in 1929, the Roaring Twenties was the ultimate decade for enjoying private wealth and privilege, and Joe Boyer benefitted from wealth and privilege alike - A blue-blood of Detroit’s high-society who belonged to every snob country club that upper crust Michigan boasted of, Boyer, upon deciding he had to become a race driver in the Indy 500 as quickly as possible, wasted no time on formalities.

  • Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013
    Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013 Executive Summary Sixteen special advisers have gone on to become Cabinet Ministers. This means that of the 492 special advisers listed in the Constitution Unit database in the period 1979-2010, only 3% entered Cabinet. Seven Conservative party Cabinet members were formerly special advisers. o Four Conservative special advisers went on to become Cabinet Ministers in the 1979-1997 period of Conservative governments. o Three former Conservative special advisers currently sit in the Coalition Cabinet: David Cameron, George Osborne and Jonathan Hill. Eight Labour Cabinet members between 1997-2010 were former special advisers. o Five of the eight former special advisers brought into the Labour Cabinet between 1997-2010 had been special advisers to Tony Blair or Gordon Brown. o Jack Straw entered Cabinet in 1997 having been a special adviser before 1979. One Liberal Democrat Cabinet member, Vince Cable, was previously a special adviser to a Labour minister. The Coalition Cabinet of January 2013 currently has four members who were once special advisers. o Also attending Cabinet meetings is another former special adviser: Oliver Letwin as Minister of State for Policy. There are traditionally 21 or 22 Ministers who sit in Cabinet. Unsurprisingly, the number and proportion of Cabinet Ministers who were previously special advisers generally increases the longer governments go on. The number of Cabinet Ministers who were formerly special advisers was greatest at the end of the Labour administration (1997-2010) when seven of the Cabinet Ministers were former special advisers. The proportion of Cabinet made up of former special advisers was greatest in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet when almost one-third (30.5%) of the Cabinet were former special advisers.

  • The Labour Party and the EU
    15th September, 2016 The Labour Party and the EU It is verifiable that all of the problems that Britain has faced since 2010 have resulted almost entirely from decisions made by members of the New Labour; on behalf, and/or at the direction of the EU. Left wing Politicians who tried to con the electorate by disingenuously blaming all of our problems on the Conservative Party or the Banks at the time of the General Election. Today the British, that is to say those resident in Britain prior to the opening of the borders to Europe by New Labour (acting as agents for the EU) have become second class citizens in their own country in terms of access to jobs, housing, healthcare, social amenities, equality and quality of life. The problem with housing was never addressed by New Labour politicians, even though they were aware of the fact that there was a rapidly increasing population; which they were actually promoting. The model for this Utopian society that they were engineering, on behalf of the EU, was Multiculturalism, or to put it in context; introduced large scale segregation within existing settled communities. No proper provision was made for school places nor adequate healthcare. In fact, doctors were paid larger salaries in return for fewer working hours and were allowed to opt out of “after hours” provision – these politicians actually reduced capacity at the same time as increasing the population; an act tantamount to criminal mismanagement. These politicians on the Left would also like you to believe that they bear no responsibility for the effects of the financial crisis on Britain which led to a worldwide recession, making it much harder to get out of debt, and that it was all the fault of the banks.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

  • Brexit: Initial Reflections
    Brexit: initial reflections ANAND MENON AND JOHN-PAUL SALTER* At around four-thirty on the morning of 24 June 2016, the media began to announce that the British people had voted to leave the European Union. As the final results came in, it emerged that the pro-Brexit campaign had garnered 51.9 per cent of the votes cast and prevailed by a margin of 1,269,501 votes. For the first time in its history, a member state had voted to quit the EU. The outcome of the referendum reflected the confluence of several long- term and more contingent factors. In part, it represented the culmination of a longstanding tension in British politics between, on the one hand, London’s relative effectiveness in shaping European integration to match its own prefer- ences and, on the other, political diffidence when it came to trumpeting such success. This paradox, in turn, resulted from longstanding intraparty divisions over Britain’s relationship with the EU, which have hamstrung such attempts as there have been to make a positive case for British EU membership. The media found it more worthwhile to pour a stream of anti-EU invective into the resulting vacuum rather than critically engage with the issue, let alone highlight the benefits of membership. Consequently, public opinion remained lukewarm at best, treated to a diet of more or less combative and Eurosceptic political rhetoric, much of which disguised a far different reality. The result was also a consequence of the referendum campaign itself. The strategy pursued by Prime Minister David Cameron—of adopting a critical stance towards the EU, promising a referendum, and ultimately campaigning for continued membership—failed.

  • Competing Loyalties: What Influences Mps' Positions on Brexit?
    Competing Loyalties: What influences MPs’ positions on Brexit? British political history is full of flashpoints that have put stress and sometimes torn at the seams of political organisation in the country. The undercurrents that led to the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum were decades in the making. During this time the issue of British relations with Europe and the EU has presented real headaches to both the two main political parties and their respective Members of Parliament, who are subject to an extensive array of pressures and influences on their relative stances. The Brexit vote is a real headache for many. How can the business community understand these competing pressures on MPs and the main Parties’ responses to Brexit? Political parties are often, by their very nature, tense alliances of people with broadly aligned views. For them to function effectively it requires the vast majority of its members to pull in the same direction. When clear ideological chasms emerge the effects can be damaging and long-lasting. There are numerous examples in British political history of cross- cutting issues that the existing boundaries of political organisation struggle to respond to. From the ideological battle over free trade and protectionism in the 1840s centred on the Corn Laws, which split the Tory Party, to the decades of debate and turmoil caused by the Irish Question and Home Rule in the late 19th / early 20th century. “Brexit means Brexit” take place at all - and the vast majority had not Prime Minister Theresa May prepared, either on an ideological or simply a practical level, for this outcome and the challenges it would "The British people have made their decision.

As the London Sunday Times commented on Oct. 2, she was being billed in Dallas as a "living legend." But little did Baroness Thatcher realize, when she accepted the speaking engage­ ment, that a storm of controversy would be erupting in Britain about the Texas activities of her son Mark and of her own pet Thatcher Foundation.
