  • 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.

  • Britain's Tastiest and Least Tasty Celebrities Crowned Submitted By: Jellybean Creative Solutions Limited Thursday, 25 October 2018
    Britain's Tastiest and Least Tasty Celebrities Crowned Submitted by: JellyBean Creative Solutions Limited Thursday, 25 October 2018 Phil and Holly win tastiest TV duo...Tom Hardy receives tastiest male award...whilst Katie Hopkins picks up bad taste gong The Great British public have voted to crown Britain’s tastiest and least tasty celebs.

Hundreds of online votes* were cast to determine the celebrity winners in thirteen hotly contested categories from TV and Sport to Radio and Politics. Voters were asked to consider celebrities’ looks, style, personality and behaviour. And the winners are... Tastiest TV duo – ITV’s This Morning Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby Phil and Holly were voted the Tastiest TV duo with nearly half of all votes cast. They came out on top ahead of Strictly’s Tess and Claudia and Bake Off’s Sandi and Noel. “Phil and Holly have such great chemistry and go together like sausages and mash” said one voter.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • The 'Today' Programme's Coverage of the 2019
    THE BBC AND BREXIT THE ‘TODAY’ PROGRAMME’S COVERAGE OF THE 2019 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This survey assesses coverage by BBC Radio 4’s Today programme of the European Parliamentary elections between April 12 and May 30, 2019. The volume of EU material was 28.5% of feature time, indicating the importance of the Brexit debate on the news agenda. This amounted to a third of a million words of transcripts. Standout points include: Pro-Brexit opinion was overwhelmingly swamped by those who wanted to avoid ‘no deal’. Speakers had only minimal time to express their views and presenters were not much interested in exploring the potential benefits of Brexit, but rather alleged malpractice or prejudice by pro-Brexit parties and spokesmen. The treatment of anti-Brexit figures was generally much more favourable. After the results of the poll, for example, presenters barely challenged assertions by Remain parties that they had ‘won’ (on a combined basis) the election. By contrast, Sir William Cash – brought on the programme to justify why he had described the government’s negotiating approach as ‘appeasement’ – was questioned by Nick Robinson as if his behaviour was verging on the criminal. Business News – a significant daily chunk of the Today programme – was heavily dominated by contributors who were against ‘no deal’, determined to push as hard as possible the scale of the disruption that would ensue, and who saw almost every negative business development as being the outcome of Brexit uncertainty. The perceived opportunities of Brexit were scarcely explored Almost 500 speakers (487) contributed to the Today coverage.

The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 swept away more than a thousand years of constitutional tradition by significantly reforming the ancient office of Lord Chancellor, which straddled all three branches of government. A stated goal of this legislation was to create more favorable external perceptions of the British constitutional and justice system. But even though the enacted legislation does substantively promote this goal, both by enhancing the separation of powers and implementing new statutory safeguards for * Susanna Frederick Fischer is an Assistant Professor at the Columbus School of Law, The Catholic University of America, in Washington D.C.
