The course of the Protectorate was by no means smooth; but by 1658 the prospect of the return of the monarchy was remote indeed, stability had re-appeared, prosperity was returning. With a spirit of compromise and goodwill, it could surely survive Cromwell's death. Had enough been done to reconcile old factions, was there a desire for compromise for the greater good?

Who was Louise-Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun—and why is one of history's most successful female artists still relatively unknown?

With the imminent publication of the new government's first Strategic Defence Review this article throws out a challenge. Can we make the first cheap British Army division of the modern period? Can we afford not to? The 'world-beating' delusion Britain has a 'world-beating' epidemic. It would be funny if we were not paying such a high cost for this delusion. Who started it may be debated. That it has become an empty boast is indisputable. The graph below shows the frequency of use of the phrase in Parliament. It has only got worse. How is Britain world-beating? Our social statistics certainly attract attention: 40% of adults pay no income tax, because their annual income does not exceed the £12,570 personal allowance threshold; One third of 35-45 year olds in England now rents (it was one in ten at the beginning of the century), and four in every ten of the private renters is receiving housing benefit (or they would be on the street); By the time Universal Credit is fully rolled out, one in four working age households will be receiving it; Almost one fifth of Britain's school children, apparently, have special educational needs; At the other end of the scale, Britain's graduates now collectively owe around £240 billion in student loans; Over one million16-24 years olds are neither in education, employment nor training (the NEETs), the main reason cited is 'mental health', remedied by a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) (over 3.3 million Britons in England and Wales were claiming a PIP last year). And so we could go on. How the British Army is 'world-beating' also raises questions. Marlborough's Grand Alliance army at the beginning of the 18th century was bigger. Cromwell had more cavalry regiments. The country that invented the tank can today deploy and sustain one tank regiment (plainly, there must be a reserve or you would be unable to rotate troops). The British Army is effectively air defenceless. In one of the most painful sagas of many in recent times, the Army will finally be receiving a new armoured personnel carrier, 20 years late, and with no weapon beyond a machinegun. And personnel statistics, perhaps reflecting wider society, do not make happy reading. Just five years ago, around 4,500 service personnel brought claims against the MOD. Today the number has jumped to almost 7,000 - or roughly, one in every 17th serviceman or woman on a parade square is making a claim against the MOD. Is serving in the (smaller) non-operational Army really so dangerous? Has the MOD become more negligent in the last five years? We can't go on like this. The first thing we must do is face reality and drop the 'world-beating' delusion. Good, better, best In the early 1960s, Defence Secretary Robert McNamara - America's most talented holder of the post in the second half of the 20th century - coined the phrase 'Good, better, best', in an interview with LIFE magazine. The Ford 'whizz kid' ('human IBM machine' was his other nickname) had been recruited by Kennedy to reform the bloated Department of Defence. He did, against some opposition. 'Good, better, best' referred to defence kit. The majority of defence kit, McNamara argued, just needs to be good. A small proportion needs to be better. And the smallest proportion needs to be 'the best'. The reason was cost. If each of the services proposed the best kit, every time, the defence budget would be bankrupted. Who knows what McNamara would make of Washington's trillion dollar defence budget today. His wisdom is certainly missed. Or cheap is good enough Or, perhaps, we could shorten McNamara's dictum and simply state cheap is good enough, most of the time. We were good at cheap. It was the foundation for what today would be called 'success stories'. The Land Rover story began in 1947 with Rover responding to a War Department requirement for a cheap, jeep-like, utility vehicle. Millions have since rolled off the production line. In contrast, a recently procured patrol vehicle (this auth...

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Five of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.Screenwriter, and newly minted Oscar winner, Peter Straughan is fascinated by stories of loyalty and betrayal. In Episode Five of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, Cromwell's loyalty is under question. Today, Peter joins the podcast to discuss adapting and writing this captivating drama series.

Last summer, when The New York Times Book Review released its list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, one of the authors with multiple titles on that list was Hilary Mantel, who died in 2022. Those novels were “Wolf Hall” and “Bring Up the Bodies,” the first two in a trilogy of novels about Thomas Cromwell, the all-purpose fixer and adviser to King Henry VIII.Those books were also adapted into a 2015 television series starring Mark Rylance as Cromwell and Damien Lewis as King Henry. It's now a decade later and the third book in Mantel's series, “The Mirror and the Light,” has also been adapted for the small screen. Its finale airs on Sunday, April 27.Joining host Gilbert Cruz on this week's episode is Mantel's former editor Nicholas Pearson. He describes what it was like to encounter those books for the first time, and to work with a great author on a groundbreaking masterpiece of historical fiction.

Igniting Contagious Faith!Sermon Notes: https://links.kchanford.com/sunday

En 1541 Enrique VIII de Inglaterra se proclamó rey de Irlanda, un título que no existía pero que ordenó al parlamento crear para que sirviese de justificación para la invasión completa de la isla, algo que los monarcas ingleses habían intentado anteriormente pero sin éxito. Controlar toda la isla les llevó más de 60 años, al término de los cuales convirtieron convirtieron la isla vecina en algo parecido a una colonia. Impusieron la ley inglesa sobre los señores gaélicos y procedieron a la confiscación de sus tierras. No fue algo pacífico. Los irlandeses se resistieron abrazando con ímpetu la fe católica. Durante el reinado de Isabel I rebeliones como la de Desmond y la Guerra de los Nueve Años, fueron aplastadas sin piedad. Al final, en 1607, los condes Hugh O’Neill y Rory O’Donnell sabiéndose rodeados y sin posibilidad de resistir más huyeron a España para pedir ayuda a Felipe III poniendo de este modo fin a la conquista inglesa. Poco después comenzó la colonización del Úlster, un proyecto inglés que perseguía asentar colonos protestantes llegados desde Gran Bretaña en el norte de la isla. Eso implicaba el desplazamiento de la población católica nativa de la que los ingleses no se fiaban. La llegada de los colonos provocó una división religiosa en esta zona de la isla que aún se mantiene. La idea era colonizar toda la isla hasta dejar a la población local en minoría, pero la Inglaterra de aquel entonces era un reino poco poblado y de posibilidades limitadas. Los irlandeses siguieron resistiéndose. Se produjo una gran rebelión de 1641, seguida por la intervención de Oliver Cromwell en 1649, que consolidó el control inglés con una brutalidad que dejó cicatrices muy profundas en la isla. Cromwell, un puritano proveniente de Anglia, confiscó tierras para entregárselas a sus seguidores, y relegó a los irlandeses católicos a un estatus de segunda clase. Las Leyes Penales del siglo XVIII agravaron sus problemas. Prohibían directamente a los católicos poseer tierras, votar o acceder a educación. La élite protestante lo dominaba todo desde Dublín y Belfast, la capital del Ulster fundada por los colonos. El objetivo del Gobierno británico era que los irlandeses nativos se asimilasen a la fuerza hasta que la cultura y la lengua irlandesa terminasen desapareciendo. Pero no sucedió nada de eso. En el siglo XIX surgió el nacionalismo irlandés. La Gran Hambruna de 1845, provocada por una plaga y agravada por la indiferencia británica, acabó con la vida de un millón de irlandeses y forzó la emigración de otro millón, lo que redujo drásticamente la población. Este desastre avivó el resentimiento contra el dominio inglés y dio impulso al nacionalismo. Movimientos como los Jóvenes Irlandeses y, más tarde, la Hermandad Republicana Irlandesa comenzaron a exigir la independencia. La lucha por la emancipación y el autogobierno ganaron fuerza con Daniel O’Connell y Charles Stewart Parnell, pero se toparon con la feroz oposición de los unionistas del Úlster, quienes temían perder su identidad protestante en un Irlanda mayoritariamente católica. La primera guerra mundial sirvió de catalizador para todas estas tensiones que se habían acumulado en el siglo anterior. El Alzamiento de Pascua de 1916, aunque inicialmente fallido, incrementó el apoyo popular al Sinn Féin y al IRA. La Guerra de Independencia de 1919 forzó al Reino Unido a negociar. El resultado fue el Tratado Anglo-Irlandés de 1921. Irlanda recuperaba la independencia, pero no toda la isla. De los 32 condados que tenía seis de ellos permanecieron bajo control británico conformando Irlanda del Norte. La partición desató una breve guerra civil en el sur entre los partidarios y los detractores del tratado liderados por figuras como Éamon de Valera y Michael Collins. Los partidarios se impusieron dando lugar a la actual República de Irlanda. Pero la cuestión irlandesa no quedaba del todo resuelta con eso. Años después reviviría en los denominados “Troubles" que no concluyeron hasta 1998.

Eso implicaba el desplazamiento de la población católica nativa de la que los ingleses no se fiaban. La llegada de los colonos provocó una división religiosa en esta zona de la isla que aún se mantiene. La idea era colonizar toda la isla hasta dejar a la población local en minoría, pero la Inglaterra de aquel entonces era un reino poco poblado y de posibilidades limitadas. Los irlandeses siguieron resistiéndose. Se produjo una gran rebelión de 1641, seguida por la intervención de Oliver Cromwell en 1649, que consolidó el control inglés con una brutalidad que dejó cicatrices muy profundas en la isla. Cromwell, un puritano proveniente de Anglia, confiscó tierras para entregárselas a sus seguidores, y relegó a los irlandeses católicos a un estatus de segunda clase. Las Leyes Penales del siglo XVIII agravaron sus problemas. Prohibían directamente a los católicos poseer tierras, votar o acceder a educación. La élite protestante lo dominaba todo desde Dublín y Belfast, la capital del Ulster fundada por los colonos. El objetivo del Gobierno británico era que los irlandeses nativos se asimilasen a la fuerza hasta que la cultura y la lengua irlandesa terminasen desapareciendo. Pero no sucedió nada de eso. En el siglo XIX surgió el nacionalismo irlandés. La Gran Hambruna de 1845, provocada por una plaga y agravada por la indiferencia británica, acabó con la vida de un millón de irlandeses y forzó la emigración de otro millón, lo que redujo drásticamente la población. Este desastre avivó el resentimiento contra el dominio inglés y dio impulso al nacionalismo. Movimientos como los Jóvenes Irlandeses y, más tarde, la Hermandad Republicana Irlandesa comenzaron a exigir la independencia. La lucha por la emancipación y el autogobierno ganaron fuerza con Daniel O’Connell y Charles Stewart Parnell, pero se toparon con la feroz oposición de los unionistas del Úlster, quienes temían perder su identidad protestante en un Irlanda mayoritariamente católica. La primera guerra mundial sirvió de catalizador para todas estas tensiones que se habían acumulado en el siglo anterior. El Alzamiento de Pascua de 1916, aunque inicialmente fallido, incrementó el apoyo popular al Sinn Féin y al IRA. La Guerra de Independencia de 1919 forzó al Reino Unido a negociar. El resultado fue el Tratado Anglo-Irlandés de 1921. Irlanda recuperaba la independencia, pero no toda la isla. De los 32 condados que tenía seis de ellos permanecieron bajo control británico conformando Irlanda del Norte. La partición desató una breve guerra civil en el sur entre los partidarios y los detractores del tratado liderados por figuras como Éamon de Valera y Michael Collins. Los partidarios se impusieron dando lugar a la actual República de Irlanda. Pero la cuestión irlandesa no quedaba del todo resuelta con eso. Años después reviviría en los denominados “Troubles" que no concluyeron hasta 1998.

In this episode of the Pat & JT Podcast, they chat about Lisa Vanderpump's latest Vegas venture—the Vanderpump Hotel. JT shares the wild history of the Cromwell, formerly Barbary Coast, with its Omaha connections. They reminisce about old-school Vegas, when $30 hotel rooms and $6 buffets were a thing, and compare it to today's sky-high prices. Pat recaps his Jackson Hole trip for Melissa Rivers' wedding, where even the “non-premium” mountain views were stunning. Then, it's onto Nebraska's chaotic weather, with a blizzard hitting just days before spring. JT recalls an April snowstorm on one of her moving days.

4/4: The Noble State: Governance Options in an Ignoble Era (X) Paperback –  by  Gregory R. Copley  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Noble-State-Governance-Options-Ignoble/dp/1892998173/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LV80LP9FHKZI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pvXWpnq6EPCJu8yxYv54rQl1egBC1ybVBcHGeoLy6pj3WBxV7NKmVH2fuCDu-3cWJ6CeAlYZg8veoruaAhnB3b-rHyiJ4lGFtecSy3a-bj4Msc3dhuT5nPZip6kPggiuBNC1kwvPssKIqe9ZYDfWmyutJkGCtYMIStFjQaLt8zJJL1iuSdBdvdHOPOsnmQB8WjWAREnv2Djztd9tZl6RWPbI5l5ojJp9rl_JYxlB4oE.TIm-eCLeUcGiTuwK6YG5UCQd4DVmiCySTSMjtqugV3Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=gregory+copley&qid=1741385652&sprefix=GREGORY+COPLEY%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-1 Award-winning Australian strategic philosopher Gregory Copley, in his 37th book, argues that without nobility of leadership, a society cannot have the self-possession to accept nobility in itself. And without nobility of purpose and ideals, a nation-state cannot acquire the prestige and authority it needs to project its influence onto the global stage. But what constitutes nobility and the resultant leadership which brings prestige and influence? How does prestige create the deterrence and power projection to enable militaries to — as Sun-tzu said — win without fighting? What forms of government are best suited to the long-term embedding of nobility — and therefore stability — in governance? Copley looks at the power, now reviving, of modern constitutional monarchies, and how republics can learn from them in an age when all are combating autocracies and totalitarianism. 1648 CROMWELL

His statue may stand proudly outside the Houses of Parliament in London, but in Ireland, Oliver Cromwell is remembered as “the Devil from over the Sea” for the bloodshed he unleashed there from 1649 to 1653.  Rising to prominence as a Parliamentarian during the English Civil Wars, Oliver Cromwell sought revenge against the Catholics who had killed Protestant colonists in Ireland during the rebellion of 1641.  Soon after overseeing the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell feared that Ireland would be used as a backdoor to England by Royalists, and he took violent measures to stop that from happening. The sieges at Drogheda and Wexford saw some of the worst massacres to occur in Irish history. What happened to ordinary people during the misery of the 1650s? And what legacy did the Cromwellian Conquest leave in Ireland? Listen as Anita and William are joined once again by Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, author of Making Empire: Ireland, Imperialism and the Early Modern World, to discuss how Irish Catholics were displaced and dispossessed as a result of the Cromwellian Conquest.   _____________ Empire UK Live Tour: The Booze & Brews live show is going on a UK tour!

How do patents influence emerging technology innovation? How far could AI and DOGE push our current IP regime? Does it matter that China issues way more patents than the US does? To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed ​​Andrei Iancu, who served as the director of the US Patent Office under the first Trump administration. Andrei has degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering, and worked at the legendary Hughes Aircraft Company before going to law school. He is currently in private practice at Sullivan and Cromwell. Co-hosting today is ChinaTalk editor and second year law student at Duke, Nicholas Welch. We get into… The mounting evidence that China's patent system now dominates America's, and whether these indicators constitute an emergency in the innovation ecosystem, Why some US companies now prefer Chinese courts for patent enforcement, The fundamental tension between private rights of inventors and public access to innovations, What congressional inaction on patent eligibility means for AI innovation, and the bills that congress could pass to immediately jumpstart emerging tech investment, What the current administration could do to help USPTO juice the economy, Controversy surrounding the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and whether DOGE could put PTAB on the chopping block, How Trump will approach patent law and intellectual property rights, including perspectives on appointments and potential reforms.

Cromwell's court struck a balance between the status required of a head of state, and the Cromwell's own openbness and informality. It was a court full of music, as was the supposedly joyless puritan state. There was little of the London theatre, though popular performance at fairs went on as before - but Britain saw its first Opera and John Playford's Dancing Master was all the rage. And in 1657, the first openly Jewish place of worship opened in Creechurch Lane Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There was much about Cromwell that was Elizabethan. He was fiercely patriotic, he dreamed of building as trading nation, and laying low the Spanish Empire with a Protestant Alliance. The Western Design against the Spanish Caribbean was part of that plan. It's outcome was to be a crisis for me; and in the face of security threats from within and without, and the withdrawal of God's approval a bold experiment was needed - enter the Major Generals Hosted on Acast.

Cromwell might have felt that the first 9 months went rather well, from his perspective - the Council of State was working well, getting things done, the settlement of the Commonwealth was proceeding and rebellions suppressed - and the first Protectorate parliament would surely be populated with serious, hard working men who would help heal and settle the nation. He was to find out that his nation was as yet far from settled or healed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
