Only a few of the persons actually affected by this consultation have been made aware of the consultation in any practical way and this is a disgrace. The writer does not consider the government practice of ignoring stakeholders concerns and placing a consultation document on the BIS website to be a fair way of consultation and representations to BIS have been made in this respect. The writer is in contact with a selection of stakeholders that are affected by the consultation and it is the general view of all of those I have contacted (regarding the Government’s intention as described in the consultation) that the Government intention is directly against a certain class of trader. Whilst the BIS openly declare the right of those certain affected traders to trade, they state there is no option other than to repeal the Civil Act of parliament that allows those traders to exercise that right.

    Esposito & Zollo: “How Dare You Call Her a Pig, I

    “How dare you call her a pig, I know several pigs who would be upset if they knew”* A multimodal critical discursive approach to online misogyny against UK MPs on YouTube Eleonora Esposito and Sole Alba Zollo University of Navarra, Spain | University of Napoli Federico II, Italy On the occasion of the 2017 UK election campaign, Amnesty International conducted a large-scale, sentiment-based analysis of online hate speech against women MPs on Twitter (Dhrodia 2018), identifying the “Top 5” most attacked women MPs as Diane Abbott, Joanna Cherry, Emily Thornberry, Jess Phillips and Anna Soubry. Taking Amnesty International’s results as a starting point, this paper investigates online misogyny against the “Top 5” women MPs, with a specific focus on the video-sharing platform YouΤube, whose loosely censored cyberspace is known as a breeding ground for antagonism, impunity and disinhibition (Pihlaja 2014), and, therefore, merits investigation. By collecting and analysing a corpus of YouTube multimodal data we explore, critique and contextualize online misogyny as a techno-social phenomenon applying a Social Media Critical Discourse Studies (SM-CDS) approach (KhosraviNik and Esposito 2018). Mapping a vast array of discursive strategies, this study offers an in-depth analysis on how technology-facilitated gender-based violence contributes to discursively constructing the political arena as a fundamentally male-oriented space, and reinforces stereotypical and sexist representation of women in politics and beyond. Keywords: women MPs, misogyny, YouTube, multimodality, social media, Critical Discourse Studies * The authors discussed and conceived the paper jointly.Eleonora Esposito is responsible for Sections 2, 3.1 and 4.1 and Sole Alba Zollo is responsible for Sections 1, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.

    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Thursday 11 January 2018 Dear Mr Hancock. RE – Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund consideration, Bradford Odeon My name is Si Cunningham, and I am the Chair of Bradford Civic Society. Since 1942, our group has existed to preserve Bradford’s heritage and promote a more beautiful built environment for the city. Bradford has suffered setbacks and economic hardships over the last few decades, yet when I took over as Chairman last year I made a pledge to look to the future and identify opportunities for tangible, positive change. That’s why I’m writing to you today – to urge the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to award the shortlisted Bradford Odeon project the maximum possible funding from the Government’s Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund. This project will provide the West Yorkshire region with a flagship 4,500 capacity venue capable of hosting a variety of cultural attractions, bringing families back into our city centre and acting as a much-needed catalyst for wider regeneration – as restaurants, hotels and cafes open in the area. Complementing the Alhambra Theatre, National Science and Media Museum, and the magnificent City Hall, the Odeon could become the city’s iconic fourth grace – all framed beautifully by that world-renowned shared space of ours, City Park. Furthermore, a rejuvenated Bradford Odeon will be symbolic of the city’s rebirth as a cultural powerhouse and will inspire a whole new generation of Bradfordians – from all backgrounds – to immerse themselves in the creative industries.
