  • Combined E-Mails Sent Between PRYCE and OAKESHOTT
    Exhibit: LJN/12a Combined E-mails sent between PRYCE and OAKESHOTT -----Original Message---- From: isabel oakeshott < Date: Tue, I Mar~201120:08:15 To: <viclcypryce Subject: my gran plan I've spent most of the afternoon thinking about your situation from every angle and have come to some conclusions, which I hope you'll have a think about First of all, i think your reputation would be really damaged by a 'tell all' book with Angela Levin/ the Mail on Sunday. The Mail on Sunday is -at the end of the day- a fairly downmarket publication and a lot of people would think it a bit tawdry for you to be co-operating with them. I know it's got a big readership, but so has the News of the World! Ifyou are seen to be helping the Mail on Sunday, it will look bad- no two ways about it. There will also be an assumption that you've made money from it, - because everyone rightly assumes that papers like that use their cheque books to get their stories. That would be bad for your reputation. At the moment it sounds like you have a really good chance ofjoining the MPC in the nearish future, and in the longer term, perhaps even the House of Lords. It is not worth jeapardising that if it can be avoided. Given that you clearly want to tell your story, (and at the same time see that Chris gets what he deserves) that leaves two options: 1) do the book, but give serialisation rights to a more respectable paper, ie, the Sunday Times.

  • Gastrodiplomacy: Assessing the Role of Food in Decision-Making Charles Spence
    Spence Flavour (2016) 5:4 DOI 10.1186/s13411-016-0050-8 REVIEW Open Access Gastrodiplomacy: Assessing the role of food in decision-making Charles Spence Abstract This review addresses a number of questions around the relation between food and decision-making/social behaviour, including the following: Can food be used as a tool of political persuasion? What role, if any, does the food we eat have over the decisions we reach? Do we bond with those with whom we happen to share a meal? And is it ever ethical to accept a free lunch? Can the provision of food be used to enhance creativity/productivity? Ultimately, the case is made that what we eat plays a far more important role in cognition, decision-making, and impression formation than most people realize. Keywords: Gastrodiplomacy, Decision-making, Impression formation, Cognition, Free lunch Review Humans have been sharing food for a very long time You can find my favourite tapas bar hidden away under What is clear from the historical record is that humans the shadow of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. are inherently social beings and have been engaged in However, unless you know exactly where to look, you feasting (that is, in the ritualized sharing of food) for an will probably miss it.

  • Cameron's Problem with Women
    “Cameron’s problem with women”: the reporting and the reality of gender-based trends in attitudes to the Conservatives 2010-11 Roger Mortimore, King’s College London/Ipsos MORI Gideon Skinner, Ipsos MORI Tomasz Mludzinski, Ipsos MORI PAPER FOR THE POLITICAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE, CARDIFF, MARCH 2013 ABSTRACT In the autumn of 2011, there was significant discussion in the British press about the level of support among women for the Conservatives and for Prime Minister David Cameron, arguing that he had a “problem with women” and suggesting that this had arisen since the general election the previous year. A leaked internal party document indicated that Conservative strategists shared these concerns, and that they may have influenced government policy decisions. Yet study of the relevant opinion polls over the period finds the evidence to be far from conclusive, and the evidence cited in the press coverage over-reliant on isolated poll findings or giving a misleading impression of their implications. Our findings suggest that Conservative support among women may still have been as high as it had been at the general election, and that the gender gap in voting intentions was probably small or non-existent, and probably little changed. Further, there seems little to suggest that attitudes to David Cameron personally were damaging Conservative standing among women. We make a systematic survey of gender differences in poll findings between the 2010 general election and the end of 2011, considering what conclusions can be safely drawn about differential reactions to the government and the Prime Minister. 1 “Cameron’s problem with women”: the reporting and the reality of gender-based trends in attitudes to the Conservatives 2010-11 Introduction In the autumn of 2011, some sections of the British media began to discuss the low (or lower than expected) support that the Conservatives were drawing from women.

  • Cómo La Tecnología Altera La Verdad
    Katharine Viner Cómo la tecnología altera la verdad Ahora, 12 de agosto de 2016 - Número 46 https://www.ahorasemanal.es/como-la-tecnologia-altera-la-verdad (The Guardian, 12 de julio de 2016; traducción del inglés de Luisa Bonilla). Las redes sociales se han comido las noticias, amenazan la viabilidad del periodismo basado en el interés público y han contribuido a una era en la que las opiniones están sustituyendo a los hechos. Un lunes por la mañana del pasado septiembre Gran Bretaña se despertó con una noticia depravada. El primer ministro, David Cameron, había cometido un “acto obsceno con la cabeza de un cerdo muerto”, según el Daily Mail. “Un distinguido condiscípulo de Oxford afirma que Cameron participó en una atroz ceremonia de iniciación con un cerdo muerto en un evento en Piers Gaveston”, decía el periódico. Piers Gaveston es el nombre de un licencioso club gastronómico de la Universidad de Oxford. Los autores de la noticia afirmaban que su fuente era un parlamentario que decía que había visto pruebas fotográficas: “Su extraordinaria insinuación es que el futuro primer ministro introdujo una parte íntima de su anatomía en el animal”. La noticia, tomada de una nueva biografía de Cameron, despertó un inmediato furor. Era vulgar, era una gran oportunidad para humillar a un primer ministro elitista, y muchos percibieron que sonaba verosímil para un exmiembro del célebre Bullingdon Club. Al cabo de unos minutos, #Piggate y #Hameron eran tendencia en Twitter e incluso relevantes políticos se sumaron a la fiesta: Nicola Sturgeon dijo que las acusaciones habían “entretenido al país entero”, mientras que Paddy Ashdown bromeó con que Cameron estaba “acaparando los titulares”1.
