... highly popular. As well as his immensely lucrative commercial interests Plugge also had a political career: in 1935 he was elected 35 Summer 2010 Conservative MP for Chatham. He also moved in the highest of high society circles with all the usual trappings of the uber-rich, including a London residence on Park Lane that he purchased from Baron Leopold de Rothschild. The considerable success of Radio Luxembourg, and Plugge's expansion of his network via the International Broadcasting Company to Spain, Yugoslavia and Eire in the years that followed, drew many other wealthy political and business figures to consider similar ventures. One of these was Sir Oswald Mosley who from 1936 invested substantial sums in attempting to establish a European-based ...

... list many ennobled Brits – from Lord Bell, whose PR empire represents many of them, to Lords Owen, Robertson, Goldsmith, Powell and Hurd who work for them in other ways. We learn that some of the think-tanks benefited from oligarch largesse long before Alexander Lebedev bought more direct public influence by acquiring the London Evening Standard. The Rothschild family feature prominently in this story and the authors recount the warm welcome Ken Livingstone gave to the Russian influx in his days as Mayor of London. But Hollingsworth and Lansley conclude: 'The tidal wave of Russian money into London helped inject new life into the luxury goods industries, fuelled a domestic wealth boom and contributed, along with other ...

... diplomat telling them that Peter Mandelson had been 'extremely friendly' towards Israel as the EU Trade Commissioner. At this writing (late October) events around the friendships and confidences of Gordon Brown's new Business Secretary on and off yachts are moving so fast, it would be worthless saying too much. But a few things are worth remembering. Nathaniel Rothschild is not the only member of that banking dynasty to be close to the former Hartlepool MP. Evelyn Rothschild and wife Lynn Forester are old Mandelson pals and the former handed over £250,000 to launch the great man's 'think tank' toy, the Policy Network. As events unfold in Israel, it's worth recalling that Mandelson shared ...

... £100,000 to 'help the European cause'), he took the view that the Selsdon policies had failed because they were too timid and had not been allowed sufficient time. In late 1973 Goldsmith, fellow Clermont member, David Stirling, and 'other businessmen' met Peter Wright, an MI5 officer, at the suggestion of Victor Rothschild, a distant cousin of Goldsmith. Wright said that during the meeting Goldsmith stated that a large number of 'significant UK business figures' wanted the expected return to office of Harold Wilson stopped and steps taken to reduce the power of UK trade unions. It is unclear if anything flowed from this discussion. In any event Wilson took office ...

... Roger Liddle (see Lobster 36). The old SDP founder member, turned defence and Europe adviser to Blair in No 10, now sits in a top advisory position in the Brussels bureaucracy and on the board of Policy Network, the plaything of his old mate and EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson. Funding Policy Network is Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, and sitting alongside Liddle on the board are Third Way guru Lord Giddens, Lord Kinnock's old kitchen cabinet pair, Patricia Hewitt and Charles Clarke, and the ubiquitous LFI chairman Jon Mendelsohn. Liddle's old SDP buddy Derek Scott was also able to make the transition to New Labour in time to land a job as economic adviser to Tony ...

... Government') is an eloquent and tragic appeal, whose forebodings have been subsequently confirmed. After trying to convince Robert Cecil (Acting Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and himself a member of the Round Table) on September 14, he finally wrote a memo on Zionism itself, pointing out the narrow basis of its support in Britain: Lord Rothschild and Samuel being its main backers. Montagu listed virtually every Jew prominent in British public life – some 46 individuals (including members of Rothschild's and Samuel's own families) as opponents of the whole doctrine. This was on October 9, when the Zionist case was up for decision in the Cabinet. Milner instructed Amery to draw up a ...

... of the conservation movement through the last 100 years, Dowling notes the presence of many more and other members of the ruling elites. What is going on here? Was it merely the (demonstrable) use of conservation in Africa as cover for political games, such as supporting apartheid South Africa? Looking at the list of familiar names- Rothschild, Milner, Astor, Huxley- in the conservation movement's early days. Dowling suspects there is more to it than that but can't nail it down. The question with anthologies of articles is always: do they stand up in book form years after they were written? This one most definitely does. Notes 18 See http:/ ...

... enormous subvention, the BUF would barely have existed and Dorril's findings in this respect will inevitably force much rethinking of the history of British Fascism in the 1930s. The Nazis provided much smaller amounts. One remarkable episode that Dorril uncovers is the financial gain that Mosley made by acting as an intermediary, helping to secure the release of the Austrian Rothschilds, who were in the hands of the Gestapo. The BUF received a share of £40,000 for its part in this shameful extortion. Anti-Semitism could be profitable. Blackshirt is also very good on the activities of the BUF and the far right in the run up to the outbreak of the Second World War and during the ...
