Signed: '~"\ ~~Ue6b Alban Webb Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

  • “Rule Number Two Is Doctors Can't Change Rule Numb-1 REFORMAT
    Britain’s Television Act of 1954: One Medium’s Effect on a Society Joshua Altman Professor Dane Kennedy 20 th Century Britain May 5, 2008 Joshua Altman Britain’s Television Act of 1954 May 5, 2008 INTRODUCTION When television came to the British masses it signaled the beginnings of a metamorphosis that was beyond suppression. Decades of a BBC monopoly provided a culturally unifying factor in both television and radio, but the Television Act of 1954 ended that monopoly, thus ending the unifying force 1. While debating the Act in Parliament, Ian Harvey MP said “Television is an instrument of communication and I am amongst those who believe that an instrument of such power of communication should not be vested in one single authority 2” The nature of British television changed with the Television Act of 1954. For the first time British broadcasting was open to competition and entities other than the BBC were able to produce content to air on channels other than the BBC 3. One condition of open broadcasting was that content had to be monitored, as it was no longer all created by the government. Created by the Television Act of 1954, the Independent Television Authority [ITA] took television one step further away from government regulation by functioning as an oversight body for Independent Television [ITV]. The ITA was responsible for licensing stations [franchises] and providing closer monitoring of content to ensure that it was appropriate for broadcast. Primarily, Members of Parliament concerned themselves with two major questions, the first being how television programming would be supported financially.

  • Brexit – Deal Or No Deal? – Reflections from CBS Brexit Breakfast
    Brexit – Deal or No Deal? – Reflections from CBS Brexit Breakfast By Beverley Nielsen, Associate Professor at Institute for Design & Economic Acceleration and Senior Fellow at Centre for Brexit Studies The Centre for Brexit Studies ‘Deal or No-Deal’ Brexit Breakfast, hosted 6th September and chaired by Dr Jacob Salder, Research Fellow at Birmingham City Business School, met to consider the impacts on the West Midlands of recent Brexit events with daily curve balls being thrown up for business, institutions and citizens to contend with. Whilst breakfast discussions were held on 6th September, by Monday 9th September (date of writing) the situation had developed with (yet another) cabinet resignation, as Amber Rudd, former Work & Pensions Secretary, dramatically downed tools over the intervening weekend. Whilst listening to Women’s Hour on BBC Radio 4, 9th September, one contributor coined an apt phrase stating that Brexit has ‘burst through the veneer of our society’. The Economist (September 7th-13th), in reviewing the Unconservative Party’s revolution, transforming the world’s oldest political party into ‘radical populists’, commented on the constitutional havoc being wreaked through the longest prorogation of Parliament since 1945 and the whip being withdrawn from 21 Tory MPs — including two former Chancellors, seven former cabinet members and Churchill’s grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames, — one of the ‘biggest political bloodbaths in history’ as The Telegraph put it. John Harris in The Guardian, (9th September) noted, “many Tories seem entirely relaxed about the breakup of the UK, the ultimate sacrifice in their headless pursuit of our divorce from Brussels”. With over 3m EU citizens living in the UK and over 1m British citizens in Europe, many are still very unclear about their future status; many too have commented on the impact of extremism in ‘fanning the flames of hatred’.

He was also one of the first parliamentarians to voice concerns about the National Government’s policy of appeasement during the mid- 1930s.

  • Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States
    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

  • Whig and Tory Historical Political Party
    Whig and Tory historical political party https://www.britannica.com/topic/Whig-Party-England Whig and Tory, members of two opposing political parties or factions in England, particularly during the 18th century. Originally “Whig” and “Tory” were terms of abuse introduced in 1679 during the heated struggle over the bill to exclude James, duke of York (afterward James II), from the succession. Whig—whatever its origin in Scottish Gaelic—was a term applied to horse thieves and, later, to Scottish Presbyterians; it connoted nonconformity and rebellion and was applied to those who claimed the power of excluding the heir from the throne. Tory was an Irish term suggesting a papist outlaw and was applied to those who supported the hereditary right of James despite his Roman Catholic faith. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Anglicanism https://www.britannica.com/topic/archbishop-of-Canterbury https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jacobite-British-history whig - began to take shape only after 1784, The Conservative and Unionist Party (usually shortened to Conservative Party, or informally as the Tory Party) is the main centre-right political party in the United Kingdom. Their policies usually promote conservatism. They are the largest party in the House of Commons after the 2019 United Kingdom general election, with 365 out of a possible 650 seats. The party has generally had liberal economic policies. that favours free market economics, and deregulation, privatisation, and marketisation. The party is British unionist, opposing Irish reunification, Scottish and Welsh independence, and is generally critical of devolution. After a leadership election in the Conservative Party in June and July 2019, Boris Johnson became the leader of the party.
