God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.

    THE CONSCRIPTION CONTROVERSY IN GREAT BRITAIN 0 0 ­ R.J.Q. ADAMS & PHILIP P POIRIER Despite the efforts of Lord Roberts's National Service League-and the covert support of the army-mandatory service was considered an extremist's nostrum in the years before August 1914. With the unpre­ cedented manpower demands of the First World War, a bitter conflict erupted between voluntarists and conscriptionists among British statesmen-settled only after the collapse of voluntary recruiting and the passage of the National Service Acts in 1916. For the remainder of the conflict Britain's leaders struggled with the question of how best to use these broad new powers both to send enough men to the trenches and to keep enough back to make munitions and necessary consumer goods. By 1918 Britain stared into the bottom of the manpower barrel. For a note on the authors, please see the back flap THE CONSCRIPTION CONTROVERSY IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1900-18 Also by R. J. Q.

  • Evangelicals and Vestments Controversy, 1964
    Parliament, the Church of England and the last gasp of political protestantism, 1963-41 John Maiden and Peter Webster [Article forthcoming in Parliamentary History, to appear in 2012/13. This version is that accepted for publication, but before the (minor) amendments made in response to peer review and before copy-editing.] In October 1962, four prominent anglican evangelical leaders wrote to members of parliament calling on them to ‘protect lay-folk’ from controversial aspects of both a proposed revision of the canon law and experimentation with alternatives to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.2 The authors, described by The Times as ‘four leading evangelicals’,3 could indeed have reasonably claimed to have represented conservative anglican evangelicalism. John R. W. Stott, rector of All Souls, Langham Place, was becoming established as the most recognized individual figure in the party; Lord Brentford was president of the Church Society, the leading anglican evangelical organisation; R. Peter Johnston was vicar of Islington and chairman of the Islington Clerical Conference, the influential annual gathering of evangelical clerics; and Arthur Smith was president of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society. Lord Brentford, (Lancelot William Joynson-Hicks, MP for Chichester until 1958), had considerable pedigree as an evangelical campaigner for protestant interests. His father, William, or ‘Jix’, the Conservative home secretary, had spearheaded a national campaign against the proposed revision of the 1662 prayer book, which ended with MPs twice rejecting the bishops’ proposals in 1927 and 1928 and the state thus undermining the spiritual authority of an allegedly ‘catholicizing’ church.4 Brentford’s case had striking similarities to that of his father.

  • Malcolm Johnson Interviewer: Mark Bowman Date: May 5, 2008 Transcribed By: Teresa Bergen
    Interviewee: Malcolm Johnson Interviewer: Mark Bowman Date: May 5, 2008 Transcribed by: Teresa Bergen [Begin Track One.] Mark B: This is Mark Bowman. The date is May 5, 2008. I’m in the UK in Weymouth, having an interview with Malcolm Johnson. Malcolm, if you would just say your name and spell it please? Malcolm J: Yes. Malcolm. M-a-l-c-o-l-m Johnson, J-o-h-n-s-o-n. And we’re in Weybridge. And– Mark B: I knew I would do that. Malcolm J: I guess you’d like to know early days, and that sort of thing. Mark B: Yes. Let’s just start with where you were born and early years and family life. Malcolm J: Okay. I was born in Great Yarmouth, in East Anglia in Norfolk. My father and mother lived there. During the war we were moved to the local village. I was born in 1936, so I was three when the war started. We moved to a little village and our house was destroyed about two or three months afterwards. So it was very lucky that we did move. And I was brought up in this tiny rural village. And went to the village school when I was five. And I had a gang of boys. We all had very broad Norfolk accents. Mark B: Okay. Malcolm J: I suppose it was when I was about seven or eight that I began to realize that I was very attracted to other little boys. Not girls. Therefore, my gang was rather important, I suppose, really.

  • February 26, 2020 Division of the Secretariat U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Room 820 4330 East West Highway Bethesda
    February 26, 2020 Division of the Secretariat U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Room 820 4330 East West Highway Bethesda, MD 20814 Comments of Consumer Reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission on the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: “Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products” Docket No. CPSC-2017-0020 Consumer Reports, the independent, non-profit member organization,1 welcomes the opportunity to submit comments to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding the agency’s supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to establish a safety standard for infant sleep products. We commend the CPSC for proposing a rule that would strengthen safety standards for infant sleep products nationwide and align with medical experts’ safe sleep recommendations, all based on a robust and growing body of evidence for how to keep infants safe. Parents and caregivers should be able to trust that all products for infant sleep must meet strong standards to keep babies safe, and right now, this simply is not the case. Accordingly, Consumer Reports strongly supports the proposed standard, with minor modifications, and urges the CPSC to finalize it expeditiously. As a part of CR’s ongoing work to improve infant sleep safety, and working together side by side with consumers across the country, Consumer Reports received approximately 22,650 signatures from people who wished to petition the CPSC in support of the proposed safety standard for infant sleep products. Attached to these comments, please find the names of these people, who collectively send the Commission the following message: We urge the Consumer Product Safety Commission to finalize its strong proposed rules on infant sleep products.

  • The Army League, Conscription and the 1956 Defence Review
    The Army League, Conscription and the 1956 Defence Review David John Mitchell PhD University of East Anglia School of History November 2012 ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and the use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.’ 1 Abstract This thesis examines the role of Leo Amery as a military commentator and his decision to create the Army League in 1937. The League went on to argue for the introduction of conscription prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1948 Leo Amery decided to resurrect the Army League and use it publicise defence issues at the beginning of the Cold War. Leo and Julian Amery attempted to shape defence policy in the late 1940s and early 1950s by using the Army League as a pressure group to influence Government policy and public opinion. It focuses particularly on the League’s report, The Army in the Nuclear Age, the culmination of several years of work by a small study group which included a considerable contribution from Basil Liddell Hart. The League published its report in November 1955 seeking to ‘educate’ the public on the key defence issues of the day including the impact of nuclear weapons on strategic planning and the need for a reorganisation of the Army. At a time when Britain was involved in two major counterinsurgency operations in Kenya and Malaya and a third was beginning in Cyprus the report also attempted to make a strategic case for retaining the remaining colonies and overseas bases at least until the end of the Cold War.

  • A Very Dangerous Man
    A VERY DANGEROUS MAN BEGINNINGS In 1939 the prospect of an invasion along the Sussex coastal plain persuaded my parents to send me away to boarding school.
