A. Hobson. One of the most striking aspects of the Egyptian affair is the way Gladstone managed to convince himself that what was in fact an act of aggression ...

... was later used as one of the broadcasting bases for its English language services. Many of these programmes featured William Joyce( 'Lord Haw Haw'), formerly a significant supporter of Sir Oswald Mosley. Joyce's talks, like Luxembourg's broadcasts in the 1930s, were extremely popular with audiences across the UK, much to the annoyance of the Churchill government.3 Plugge lost his seat in Parliament in the 1945 Labour landslide but retained his commercial interests. For some years in the 1940s the Attlee government and the Foreign Office made serious attempts, without success, to acquire broadcasting rights on Radio Luxembourg. This would have involved ending Luxembourg's transmissions to the UK (thus preserving the BBC monopoly) ...

(24) It appears to have had two aims: to undertake long-term planning as part of a 'Post-War New Deal' and to provide an platform for debate on war aims as a loyal opposition to Churchill. Probably because the Committee included a wide spectrum of political figures, including left-wingers like Michael Foot and Konni Zilliacus, a myth has grown that Hulton was sympathetic towards the Labour Party and socialism. Hulton, who later joined the Common Cause Advisory Board, had earlier told his editor, 'Kindly remember that I am not only a Conservative ...

I also learned from another source that they had been lovers and, indeed, that Sir Michael may have been one of the two greatest loves of Shaw's life (the other being William Formyduval with whom he lived). Sir Michael introduced Shaw to London society, to Churchill, and may even have introduced him to Peter MONTGOMERY, Anthony Blunt's lover. As to Sir Michael's two addresses, Vaynol was his country estate near the town of Bangor on the north coast of Wales, some 250 miles north-east of London, while Cadogan Place was his London address in Belgravia, only a couple of doors away from ...

These were often portrayed as 'dynamic and European' in comparison to the rather indolent Arabs. As early as 1908, Winston Churchill MP came out in support of this and promoted the idea of a Jewish administered area in Palestine under the protection of the British Empire. During the First World War, the Zionist movement, unable to determine, particularly in 1916-1918, which of the adversaries might win, and being traditionally hostile to Russia and somewhat more friendly to Germany ...
