ANTONY FISHER Champion of Liberty
ANTONY FISHER Champion of Liberty Gerald Frost First published in Great Britain in 2002 by Profile Books Ltd. Copyright: Gerald Frost Condensed in 2008 by David Moller Copyright: Institute of Economic Affairs. Additional material on Dorian Fisher supplied by Linda Whetstone and on the Atlas Economic Research Foundation by John Blundell and Colleen Dyble. 1 Introduction When Antony Fisher died in San Francisco on July 9, 1988, aged 73, four weeks after being knighted in the Queen’s birthday honours list, the world was largely unaware of him or his influence. He was not listed in Who’s Who. He was not well known to the British or American media. He had never held major elected office. Although he had made – and lost – a considerable fortune he relied during his latter years on the financial support of a rich and devoted second wife. The belated knighthood, which fitted the tall, sparse, handsome Englishman like a glove, was almost the sole public recognition he received during his lifetime, and this did not come until he was terminally ill. Only two politicians, Enoch Powell and Keith Joseph, attended his memorial service. That, however, would probably have been more a matter of satisfaction than of regret, since throughout his life the former businessman and decorated World War II pilot displayed an ill-concealed contempt for the generality of politicians. He believed that their capacity for harm far outweighed their ability to do good. Among MPs generally, probably only a handful were aware of Fisher’s remarkable influence. Yet in founding the Institute of Economic Affairs, the London-based free-market think tank, he had played a crucial role in helping to reverse economic trends that many had judged to be irreversible, thereby changing the direction of British post-war politics. -

The Identification of Radicals in the British Parliament
1 HANSEN 0001 040227 名城論叢 2004年3月 31 THE IDENTIFICATION OF ‘RADICALS’ IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 1906-1914 P.HANSEN INTRODUCTION This article aims to identify the existence of a little known group of minority opinion in British society during the Edwardian Age. It is an attempt to define who the British Radicals were in the parliaments during the years immediately preceding the Great War. Though some were particularly interested in the foreign policy matters of the time,it must be borne in mind that most confined their energies to promoting the Liberal campaign for domestic welfare issues. Those considered or contemporaneously labelled as ‘Radicals’held ‘leftwing’views, being politically somewhat just left of centre. They were not revolutionaries or communists. They wanted change through reforms carried out in a democratic manner. Their failure to carry out changes on a significant scale was a major reason for the decline of the Liberals,and the rise and ultimate success of the Labour Party. Indeed, following the First World War, many Radicals defected from the Liberal Party to join Labour. With regard to historiography,it can be stated that the activities of British Radicals from the turn of the century to the outbreak of the First World War were the subject of interest to the most famous British historian of the second half of the 20century, A. J. P. Taylor. He wrote of them in his work The Troublemakers based on his Ford Lectures of 1956. By the early 1970s’A.J.A.Morris had established a reputation in the field with his book Radicalism Against War, 1906-1914 (1972),and a further publication of which he was editor,Edwardian Radical- ism 1900-1914 (1974). -

This form of therapy uses the mind to reduce or alleviate a variety of issues, such as psychological distress, phobias, and unhealthy habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique which has been very successful in helping people who suffer from trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, post-traumatic stress and other emotional problems. EMDR therapy involves the client placing attention to a negative event and an image, belief, and body feeling related to this events. While the client focuses on the event, the therapist will begin sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. The client is guided to notice what comes to mind after each set. As a result of this therapy, clients experience shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, or beliefs regarding the event. The sets of eye movements, sounds, or taps are repeated until the event becomes less disturbing. Stress Management Stress is an automatic physical, mental and emotional response to a challenging event. It’s a normal part of everyone’s life. -

Far-Right Music and the Use of Internet: Final Conflict and the British National Party Compared1
35 FAR-RIGHT MUSIC AND THE USE OF INTERNET: FINAL CONFLICT AND THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY COMPARED1 ANTON SHEKHOVTSOV riting in 1997, David Lyon called it ‘extravagant’ to consider that ‘the Internet portends new kinds of networks and a transformation of society Was we know it’.2 Today, however, it would be banal to proclaim that the internet has already transformed the way we conduct research, studies, business, services, and entertainment. With the rise of cyber-politics, web-based pressure groups, and whistle-blower websites like WikiLeaks, the internet continues to exert increasing influence both on the rulers and the ruled. Although its extensive use has resulted, as one researcher put it, in ‘the reconfiguration of the reality of everyday life and the transformation of the ways in which individuals construct the lifeworld’,3 the internet is nevertheless a medium, and as such it depends heavily on the contents or products created by people. Turning to far-right music on the internet, here we find that it comprises of various websites as well as articles of merchandise. In general, one can find this type of music for free on YouTube videos uploaded by either bands/artists themselves or their fans; Myspace and other social network pages dedicated to individual far-right bands; radio-stations like Skrewdriver Radio4 or 28 Radio;5 or numerous blogs that give links to mp3-albums uploaded – primarily illegally – to various file-sharing web-pages. A number of internet sites, ranging from specialised right-wing mail- order companies like the UK-based Rampage Productions to various online auction/shopping websites like eBay, iTunes or Amazon UK, also sell far-right music, either in physical (CD/DVD) or digital (mp3) form. -

The Role of Special Advisers Should Be Clarified and There Must Be More Transparency About Their Work
blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/24688 The role of special advisers should be clarified and there must be more transparency about their work The seemingly nebulous and underhand role of special advisers has featured prominently in many of the government’s recent scandals – most recently in the case of Adam Smith and the handling of the Newscorps bid for BSkyB. Martin Smith argues that the problem is not their existence per se, but a lack of clarity about what they do and transparency about how they do it. Since special advisers were f irst introduced in the 1970s they have regularly hit the headlines. Under Margaret Thatcher, special advisers were seen as a mechanism f or providing the prime minister with advice to counter her departmental ministers. Ultimately this led to a clash between her adviser Alan Walters and the Chancellor Nigel Lawson resulting in Lawson’s resignation. Under Blair special advisers were seen as developing an alternative civil service that engendered sof a government. Special advisers were of ten the f rontline troops in the battle between Blair and Brown f ighting their war by proxy. Two of Brown’s special advisers Charlie Wheelen and Damien McBride had to resign because of their activities in releasing dif f erent types of inf ormation. Special advisers are seen of ten as blocking the civil service or over politicising government. At the same time the lack of special advisers in Number 10 is seen a f actor of the ‘omnishambles’ of the coalition government.
