I have heard the doubts expressed by some of you, and a few people have heard my own doubts. Now, SeetheLight however, is the time to put those questions aside. 8 Out State My mind began to rest much easier when it became clear to me that we had at last found a very capable and very qualified candidate for the Editor's chair, 11 From the Right Nadine Walther.

That's a very appealing aspect of the opportunity before me. 31 Market Place Then there is the emotional and even physical toll that the grind of putting out a weekly newspaper with such a small staff has had on me.

  • Tory-Normativity” and Gay Rights Advocacy in the British Conservative Party
    “Tory-Normativity” and Gay Rights Advocacy in the British Conservative Party since the 1950s Gay rights advocacy in the Conservative party since the 1950s played-down its difference from Conservative beliefs by emphasising pragmatism over emancipation; discretion over celebration; and responsibility over rights. This positioning was allied to a construction of gay men and women in the image of the idealised conservative citizen: law- abiding, entrepreneurial, and ultimately familial—a process I label “Tory-normativity”. Tory-normativity introduced gay rights advocacy into the party in an acceptable form, and consequently caused party policy to develop. Ultimately, the construction of Tory-normativity has been used to depoliticise gay identity: initially gay men, and then from the 2000s onwards, gay men and women. Introduction Since the 1950s, the Conservative party has repeatedly impeded gay rights legislation. Yet at times individual Conservative politicians, and recently the leadership, have led on reform. The Conservative MP Humphry Berkeley in 1966 introduced a Private Member’s Bill to propose decriminalising male homosexual acts; the Conservative Lord Arran introduced this same Bill in the Lords; the Conservative Lord Boothby introduced the Bill in 1977 to decriminalise homosexuality in Scotland; in 1994, it was MP Edwina Currie who introduced an amendment to The Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill attempting to have the age of consent for gay men set at 16; and it was a Conservative led government who oversaw the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013. With other gay rights legislation, such as the Sexual Offences Act 1967; the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000; the Adoption and Children Act 2002; and the Civil Partnership Act 2004, we see a number of Conservative MPs speaking in favour of progressive legislation.

  • Be Your Own Life Coach
    DO MORE! It was Albert Einstein who observed, ‘Nothing happens until something moves.’ He may have been talking about quantum physics and the movement of energy, but that’s the essence of our next rule, Do More! If there’s one rule all the achievers in this book share, it’s this one: they’re all doers. They do more than the average person. And because this rule is so darned obvious, it’s often overlooked in our quest to discover some hidden recipe for success in life and the secret of other’s success. Here’s the blinding truth that I came face to face with in the making of this book: successful people do more than their less successful counterparts. I know there may be spiritual Masters down the ages who only have to think of their desires and hey presto, they materialise out of the ether for them. For the rest of us, we have to put the work in to get the same results. Look at every single person who impresses you with their accomplishments and you’ll see a man or woman of action. Less talk, far more action. A Woman of Action I’ll never forget an interview I read more than ten years ago with the phenomenonal Tina Brown, dubbed the queen of New York well before she was 40, not bad for an Englishwoman. 1. She turned around Vanity Fair and then The New Yorker magazines, making them essential reading in a country with thousands of magazines. In professional circles she is known as the most formidable editor in the world.

  • Section 28 Page 1 Section 28
    Section 28 Page 1 Section 28 Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 was a controversial amendment to the UK's Local Government Act 1986, enacted on 24 May 1988 and repealed on 21 June 2000 in Scotland, and on 18 November 2003 in the rest of the UK by section 122 of the Local Government Act 2003. The amendment stated that a local authority "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". Some people believed that Section 28 prohibited local councils from distributing any material, whether plays, leaflets, books, etc, that portrayed gay relationships as anything other than abnormal. Teachers and educational staff in some cases were afraid of discussing gay issues with students for fear of losing state funding. Because it did not create a criminal offence, no prosecution was ever brought under this provision, but its existence caused many groups to close or limit their activities or self- censor. For example, a number of lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual student support groups in schools and colleges across Britain were closed due to fears by council legal staff that they could breach the Act. While going through Parliament, the amendment was constantly relabelled with a variety of clause numbers as other amendments were added to or deleted from the Bill, but by the final version of the Bill, which received Royal Assent, it had become Section 28. Section 28 is sometimes referred to as Clause 28.

  • Conservative Party Leadership Strategy and the Legacy of Thatcherite Conservatism, 1997-2005
    Conservative Party Leadership Strategy and the Legacy of Thatcherite Conservatism, 1997-2005 A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Richard Hayton Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2008 Acknowledgements Doctoral studies are wasted on PhD students. It is a great privilege to spend three (or even four!) years of one's life in academic self-indulgence, an honour not fully appreciated until one re-emerges, slightly bleary-eyed, back into the real world. It is an even greater privilege to get paid for it. For that I am most grateful to the anonymous referees at the University of Sheffield, who deemed a proposal on contemporary conservatism of sufficient value to award me a University Studentship, ahead, I suspect, of much more worthy applications. Sarah Cooke was instrumental in putting together the original funding application whilst I was thousands of miles away, and I am most grateful for her hard-work then and for all of her assistance since. Friends and colleagues in the Department of Politics at Sheffield have helped to make it a most conducive place to pursue postgraduate study. Too numerous to list in full here, those that spring to mind particularly include (in alphabetical order) Craig Berry, Matt Bishop, Dion Curry, Glenn Gottfried, Carissa Honeywell, Olalla Linares Segade, Vas Leontitsis, Robert McIlveen, Tim Montgomerie, Andrew Mumford, Bona Muzaka, Michael Neu, Ben Richardson, Louise Strong, and Adam White. Mike Kenny has been an invaluable intellectual support over the past three years, both directly through his comments on sections of this thesis, and much more widely through the other research projects we have pursued together.

  • June 1999 European Elections Part II the Fundamental Problem with The
    Chapter Five Nationhood and Strategy, June 1997 - June 1999 European Elections Part II The fundamental problem with the Conservative Party is that it doesn't have a strategy - and hasn't had one for at least four years and arguably for the best part of a decade (Cooper and Finkelstein, 1998, p.1). 5.1 Introduction This chapter will continue to examine the first half of Hague's tenure as Leader of the Conservative Party but focuses on the development of the party's European policy and the creation and implementation of its first formal strategy initiative, 'Kitchen Table Conservativism' (KTC).2o It will analyse Hague's goals, his approach towards the politics of nationhood and whether the leadership were united in support for that approach and the strategy. Hague used the issue of Europe to demonstrate that the party had moved on from the Major years by apologising for the ERM debacle and he also halted the domination of the issue by imposing a clear policy which was consolidated by the support of the membership, demonstrated by an internal ballot. Hague appealed to the Britishness of the electorate, claiming that the Conservatives were the only party seeking to protect British identity, nationhood and prosperity in the face of European integration. Hague adopted KTC simply because the party required a strategy. Neither the Shadow Cabinet nor Hague engaged with the strategy and it was abandoned when it failed to yield positive results. 20 The paper 'Kitchen Table Conservatives' which led to the KTC strategy was quickly supplemented with 'Conceding and Moving On' (CMO) and both papers together will be taken to constitute the basis of KTC.
