CM: Sir Brian, thank you very much for your wonderful and very detailed career summary. Your notes indicate that you’d had several ideas about what you might pursue as a career, what led you to finally decide to join the Diplomatic Service? BD: Well, it was a very circuitous route. I was born and grew up in Workington which is a small industrial town on the west coast of Cumbria. My background was thoroughly working class. It was a terraced house, my father was a steel worker, my mother was a hairdresser. There was no tradition of university education in the family, let alone thought of the Diplomatic Service. I’m not sure that anyone would’ve known what the Diplomatic Service was, in my family. The year I went to Workington Grammar School, in the school magazine of that year there was an article by a man called James Smith Rooke, which I dimly remember and it was all about his life in the Consular Service, which was then a separate service from the Diplomatic Service, but he’d eventually moved into the Diplomatic Service and I think he had a quite reasonable career as a Commercial and Trade Officer. And I must have read that because it’s well-thumbed but I can’t pretend that it was a sort of thing that motivated me to think I must join the Diplomatic Service. It may have had a subliminal effect but it wasn’t until I went back and started looking through the magazines that I realised that I must have read this when I was aged 11. Workington Grammar School was typical of many small grammar schools of the time and certainly, in Cumbria, was a very good school. I was fortunate because it was by going through Workington Grammar that I managed to get a scholarship to The Queen’s College, Oxford, and I think clearly that was very useful much later on when I eventually did think about applying for the Diplomatic Service. Having said that, when I was at Oxford, again, I didn’t think about the Foreign Office, I wanted to be a journalist. Even when I was in Workington I had had a part-time job as what was called a copy-runner for the local 2 Workington paper. This meant going to rugby matches and carrying the typed reports of the game back up to the printing offices in the course of the match and the quicker I could do that, the more of the match that I actually saw. And so I did this and then on one Saturday when I turned up, the reporter didn’t arrive so I wrote the report myself. I didn’t type it but I wrote it in longhand, I think, and took it to the newspaper, and to my amazement they printed it. So that whet my appetite for the whole business of sports journalism and, indeed, they offered me an apprenticeship when I was leaving school, and I think when I chose to go to Oxford instead, the headline on the story was something like “local boy turns down job offer to go to Oxford”, which I thought was a nice sense of proportion! Anyway, when I got to Oxford I joined the university newspaper, initially as a sports reporter, and eventually became sports editor, and then edited the newspaper itself in my second year. This simply convinced me that the whole glamour of journalism seemed to be attractive and I rather liked it. I became, for a time, the university’s correspondent on football (soccer) for the London Times which paid me an enormous fee like £3 a time which was a lot of money in those days. As a result of meeting a former editor of Cherwell, which was the university newspaper, I worked on this rather trendy London magazine called Town Magazine. It was produced by this former editor, Clive Labovitch, and his partner, in a business sense, Michael Heseltine, who was just about to embark on his political career. The magazine had aspirations to be rather like Playboy in the sense that it published new fiction with restaurant reviews, book reviews, cartoons but also liked to publish pictures of beautiful women in varying states of clothing. In those days because of the law in Britain, I don’t think a British magazine could publish quite as revealing pictures as Playboy did, and I can remember hours were spent going over pictures with a magnifying glass to try and make sure that the photographs of the ladies didn’t reveal anything that the Lord Chancellor might take exception to. Well, I have to say that Michael Heseltine didn’t actually play much part in this magazine. He ran the other part of the business, which was producing what, we thought, were very dull, boring catalogue books, about things like agricultural machinery. They also produced the guide for employment for would-be university graduates. So Michael did the boring stuff, but it was stuff that made money and Clive ran the magazine which I suppose had the ethos of London in the 60s but probably didn’t make any money. Anyway, it was completely eye-opening to me to see that side of London society for the first time. CM: Coming from Workington! 3 BD: Coming from Workington, yes, and they must have thought I was a very strange creature, as well. I also worked briefly on the Sunday Express during this period, on their Saturday desk. Basically, the Sunday Express was largely made up before Saturday and all you did on Saturday was produce the final news stories for the front page and page 3, and they brought in extra reporters to do that. I suppose I then began to have some doubts about my abilities as a reporter because I was sent out to do a job with a very hard-bitten press photographer and we were meant to interview an American dancer who’d come over, and the rumour was (she was a modern dancer) that on stage she was occasionally known to remove her clothes. Again, we’re talking about the ’60s when this was still something regarded as rather remarkable. So, off we went to interview her and the photographer kept nudging me and saying “get her to take her clothes off”, and I was totally out of my depth at this. The woman was explaining all the intricacies of modern dance in a very theoretical way which I knew nothing at all about and I failed completely in the mission of getting her to take anything off. As a result, the photographs were not deemed worthy of use and I think my reputation as a news reporter took a major dive. But still, it was working on Fleet Street and that was in those days when Fleet Street was the centre of the world as far as newspapers were concerned. It was really a great experience. As far as my academic work at Oxford is concerned, my course was PPE (politics, philosophy & economics). I soon realized that philosophy was not for me; that economics lived up to its reputation as “the dismal science” and that only the politics really interested me. I did specialise in international politics, but as I have said never with any thought of that leading to the Foreign Office. When it came to leaving Oxford, the jobs I applied for were basically in newspapers with a sort of back-up on advertising, in case I didn’t get into a newspaper. I was successful in getting an offer of a traineeship with the Thompson Group, which then ran the Times, and with J Walter Thompson who were then the biggest advertising agency. But, I suppose with the arrogance of youth, I decided instead that, before I started work, I would go off to the United States for a while and I applied for various American universities to study journalism. You couldn’t do that in Britain in the 1960s.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs OIGNS OF SLOW BUT DISCERNIBLE economic recovery in 1993 —such as a drop in interest rate, reduced inflation, and even a small decline in unemploy- ment — did nothing to halt the unremitting decline in the political fortunes of Prime Minister John Major's Conservative government. The Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats in by-elections for two hitherto safe parliamentary seats — Newbury in May and Christchurch in July — and in local elections in May, when the Conserva- tives lost control of all but one county council. The most likely cause of the government's unpopularity was its own disunity. Internal dissension, for example, dogged the progress of the bill to ratify the Maas- tricht Treaty on European Union. In March the government lost a key vote on the bill by 22 votes, and Major had to call for a vote of confidence in July, which did insure final ratification of the treaty. The Labor party limited itself to profiting from the government's unpopularity and to updating its image and organization. Under leader John Smith's impetus, the party's annual conference in September voted to abolish the bloc vote enjoyed by the trade unions, in a bid to enhance the party's appeal to middle-class electors. Despite appeals by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other groups, the government's Asylum Bill, which would limit the number of political refugees admitted to Britain, was passed by the House of Commons in January. Israel and the Middle East The draft peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians in September was welcomed by all political parties and opened the door to a more positive stance by Britain in Middle East politics.

  • Mega Sporting Events and Human Rights
    Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights About this Paper This is the second in a series of occasional papers by the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB). Papers in this series provide independent analysis and policy recommendations concerning timely subjects on the business and human rights agenda from the perspective of IHRB staff members and research fellows. IHRB Research Fellow, Lucy Amis, prepared this paper with input from IHRB team members. IHRB wishes to thank all those who offered comments on earlier drafts of the paper. Since 2011 when it launched the Staff Wanted Initiative with Anti-Slavery International in response to concerns around the exploitation of vulnerable work- ers, trafficking and forced labour in the hospitality sector in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympics, IHRB has taken an active interest in the business and human rights impacts of mega sporting events (MSEs). MSEs such as the Olympic Games, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup and Commonwealth Games – with their massive physical and commercial footprints – afford a rare opportunity to address a broad spectrum of business and human rights concerns within a microcosm, and to explore possible new approaches to integrating respect for human rights across a wide range of relationships and practices.

  • 1 Introduction 1
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. A debate exists whether a ‘Second Cold War’ did in fact break out or whether this merely a changing phase of the ongoing Cold War. This changing situation in East-West relations from the late 1970s onwards will henceforth, be referred to as the Second Cold War. See, for example, Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso Editions and NLB, second edition, 1986). 2. Private discussions. In 1979 only 2 per cent of the electorate thought defence was a major issue in the election. By 1983 this had risen to 38 per cent. Michael Heseltine, ‘The United Kingdom’s Strategic Interests and Priorities’, RUSI Journal, vol. 128, no. 4, December 1983, pp. 3–5, p. 3. The 1983 election campaign was noteworthy for the action of the previous Labour Prime Minister, James Callaghan, who took the unprecedented step of repudiating his own party’s defence policy; Ian Aitken, ‘Callaghan Wrecks Polaris Repairs’, Guardian, 26 May 1983; Peter M.

    Notes Preface and Acknowledgements 1 Priestley, 1968. Reviewing a book on the latest American campaign tech- niques the same year, Labour agent Terry Pitt warned colleagues that politi- cians ‘will be promoted and marketed like the latest model automobile’ (Labour Organiser no. 558, December). 2 Palast, 2002, p. 161–69. 3 Editorial in The Observer, 18th August 1996. 4 The speech was made to the pro-business Institute of Directors, ‘Mandelson: We sold Labour as news product’, The Guardian, 30th April 1998. 5 Hughes and Wintour, 1990; Gould, 1998. 6 Cockett, 1994.

Of the other politicians featured the Suffragettes and Conservatives (1979) occupied the fifteenth and sixteenth places respec- tively. 3 Gould, 2002; Gould, 1998, p. 81. 4 Abrams and Rose with Hinden, 1960; Gould, 2002. 5 Mandelson and Liddle, 1996, p. 2; see also Wright, 1997. The Blair leader- ship, like most politicians, deny the extent to which they rely on profes- sionals for strategic input and guidance (Mauser, 1989). 6 Interviewed on BBC1 ‘Breakfast with Frost’, 14th January 1996, cited in Blair, 1996, p. 49. Blair regularly returns to this theme: in his 2003 Conference speech he attacked the interpretation of ‘New Labour’ as ‘a clever piece of marketing, good at winning elections, but hollow where the heart should be’ (The Guardian, 1st October 2003). 7 Driver and Martell, 1998, pp. 158–9. 8 Crompton and Lamb, 1986, p. 1. 9 Almond, 1990, p.
