To sit with like minds, or unlike minds, laughing, © Julian Anderson crying or just being absorbed as the conversation winds it way into other worlds. We are emerging from this pandemic desperate for culture, but also, after a year of caution, still wanting to be careful. This year’s Henley Literary Festival addresses both those emotions. The programme is rich in its variety and quality, but we have also made sure it’s a safe environment. For the first time in our 15 year history we are building a 500 seater marquee as well as our two bigger venues – Christ Church and the Town Hall - so that distancing, if required, can be maintained. I have never been more proud of the tiny, covid-depleted-team who have worked so hard to build such a magnificent awe-inspring nine-day programme under such difficult circumstances. Thank you Harriet, Lou, and Kallie for your magnificence against the odds, and thanks to all our sponsors, particularly Baillie Gifford, for staying with us through the rough times and ensuring we are not only still here, but very much alive and kicking.

  • Boris Johnson to Become Britain's Next PM
    Boris Johnson to become Britain’s next PM News Boris Johnson Tuesday will be Britain’s next Prime Minister, succeeding Theresa May. More in News ● Johnson’s victory places a hardcore Brexit supporter in charge of the government for the first time since the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU in the shock 2016 referendum. ● The timing of Johnson’s victory is also significant as it comes during one of the most complex and tumultuous junctures in post-World War Two British history. ● The victory is a triumph for the 55-year-old Johnson, an ambitious but erratic politician whose political career has veered between periods in high office and spells on the sidelines. ● Johnson’s victory has two implications: It pushes the United Kingdom towards a Brexit showdown with the European Union (EU) and Towards a constitutional crisis at home, as British lawmakers have vowed to bring down any government that tries to leave the bloc without a divorce deal. India connection ● Johnson’s recently estranged spouse Marina Wheeler, whom he married in 1993, has Indian ancestry, and Johnson has visited India on numerous occasions over the years. Wheeler is the niece of author Khushwant Singh, and the granddaughter of Sir Sobha Singh, one of the major contractors who built Lutyens’s Delhi. On trade ties with India ● On the backdrop of the strenuous Brexit negotiations, the UK is now looking out for new trade deals with its global partners. ● Currently, India-UK trade is worth over $19.7 billion, a number that Johnson appears to be keen at raising.

  • SOE) by Donat Gallagher James Cook University
    EVELYN WAUGH STUDIES Vol. 43, No. 2 Autumn 2012 Captain Evelyn Waugh and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) by Donat Gallagher James Cook University “There was something in him . of the sort of subaltern who was disliked in his regiment and got himself posted to S.O.E.”[1] Early in the Second War the British Government set up a highly secret Special Operations Executive (SOE). Its many tasks included sabotage, espionage, and aiding resistance movements in nations occupied by the Axis; in Winston Churchill’s words, its mission was “to set Europe ablaze.” It had many auxiliary units, one of which might interest United States readers while suggesting the flavour of the organization. This was British Security Coordination (BSC) in the Rockefeller Center in New York, whose history (unlike that of most other such units) survived shredding through the enterprise of some of its members. Led by a Canadian tycoon, William Stephenson, its brief from Churchill was to “do all that was not being done and could not be done by overt means” to “drag America into the war.” Before Pearl Harbour, BSC sabotaged United States firms dealing with Germany and undermined isolationist groups like America First and the pro-Nazi Bund. This they did by blackmail and assassination and by running a “rumour mill” against opponents of the war with information obtained from wire taps and burgled safes. They also bought a news agency to plant untrue stories in obscure papers; friendly columnists like Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson then picked them up. BSC faked incidents to influence American public opinion, the most famous being the forging and planting of a “secret Nazi map” and the “Belmonte letter.” The “secret map” showed South America divided into five Nazi states, one of which included the Panama Canal, while the “Belmonte letter” outlined a Nazi plot to overthrow the Bolivian Government.

Political Quarterly, 82 (1). 67 - 80. ISSN 0032-3179 http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-923X.2011.02170.x White Rose Research Online [email protected] The Post-war Premiership League Kevin Theakston and Mark Gill Who has been the best British prime minister since the Second World War? As David Cameron passes up and down the Grand Staircase in Number 10 Downing Street every day, the portraits of his predecessors as prime minister stare down at him. They are arranged in chronological order, with the most recent at the top of the stairs. If they were to be arranged in order of greatness, success or effectiveness in office, or policy achievement and legacy, the sequence would look very different. We report here the results from the latest survey of academic experts polled on the performance of post-1945 prime ministers. Academic specialists in British politics and history rate Clement Attlee as the best post-war prime minister, with Margaret Thatcher in second place just ahead of Tony Blair in third place. Gordon Brown’s stint in Number 10 was the third- worst since the Second World War, according to the respondents to the survey that rated his premiership as less successful than that of John Major.

  • The Mediatization of Second-Order Elections and Party Launches: UK Television News Reporting of the 2014 European Union Campaign
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1523–1543 1932–8036/20150005 The Mediatization of Second-Order Elections and Party Launches: UK Television News Reporting of the 2014 European Union Campaign STEPHEN CUSHION RICHARD THOMAS OLIVER ELLIS Cardiff University, UK Using the United Kingdom as a case study to explore the degree to which news about a second-order election is mediatized, this comparative content analysis examines television news coverage of the 2014 European Union elections. Evidence of mediatization was stronger on the most commercially driven bulletins, with an overwhelming emphasis on the game frame and a more interpretive approach than the most public service–orientated broadcaster (the BBC). However, qualitative analysis revealed that the BBC pursued a more mediatized form of journalism. Developing a close textual analysis of how broadcasters reported party campaign launches—representing what we call key “mediatized moments”—we argue that a more qualitative approach to assessing media and political logics can complement comparative quantitative studies about mediatized politics. Keywords: second-order elections, mediatization, media systems, content analysis Interpreting the mediatization of politics has become a popular scholarly pursuit in recent years. Since Strömbäck’s “Four Phases of Mediatization” (2008) was published, it has accumulated more than 350 citations, and empirical research applying and extending this concept has flourished. Moreover, an edited book—Esser and Strömbäck’s Mediatization of Politics (2014)—has advanced the concept beyond specialized journals to a wider audience, with leading scholars considering how the mediatization of politics can be applied in different contexts. Although the book’s focus was on different dimensions of mediatization—from journalistic framing to agenda setting—empirically the 12 chapters were informed by either political coverage generally or presidential or general elections.
