There will be a British general election on July 4. “The most consequential of our generation” no doubt many politicians will remind the voters. But almost exactly 45 years ago, there really was a profoundly consequential British election. Back in May 1979, Mrs Margaret Thatcher's Conservative party won power in an election that ultimately changed everything about Britain. In 1979, (Sir) Tim Lankester was the first economic private secretary to Margaret Thatcher and, in his new book, INSIDE THATCHER'S MONETARISM EXPERIMENT, he writes about the promise, failure and legacy of this radical economic gamble. Yet in spite of the economic failure of Thatcher's monetarist experiment, Sir Tim appears not a little nostalgic for a politician with the vision and will of the Iron Lady. “Mrs Thatcher never lied”, he reminded me about a politician whose success at the polls was rooted in the trust she established with the electorate. And it's this trust that seems most scarce now, not just in the UK, but also in the US and other late-stage western democracies. Sir Tim Lankester has led a distinguished career in economics and public service and is an ardent supporter of charity and the arts. After studying at St John's College, Cambridge, and Yale University, Tim went on to enjoy an career with World Bank and then in the English Civil Service, including; at the British Embassy in Washington D.C., as Private Secretary to James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher, as Permanent Secretary at the Overseas Development Administration (now the DFID), and at the Department of Education. He retired from public service in 1994, for which he was knighted. He went on to serve as Director of the School of Oriental and African Studies (1996 – 2000), President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford (2001 - 2009), and Chair of the Council of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (2008 – 2014). From 2007 to 2015, Tim was Chair of The Place and formerly a board member of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama and Governor of the Royal College of Music. Currently, Tim sits on the boards for many charities, including; Wells Maltings Trust, Norfolk; International Foundation for Arts and Culture; MBI AL Jaber Foundation; and Karachi Education Initiative UK. Tim also sits on the Board for the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Art and Culture, University of East Anglia, and is and Honorary Fellow of both SOAS and St John's College, Oxford.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Say “monetarism” to anyone who was around in the early 80s and watch the chill run down their spine. Margaret Thatcher tried to conquer inflation by using a fringe economic credo of slashing the money supply. The result was a collapsed economy and unemployment on a colossal scale. What was monetarism? Did it work, even in its own terms? And where are its echoes today? Tim Lankester – then the PM's private secretary for economic affairs, now author of Inside Thatcher's Monetarism Experiment – takes Andrew Harrison back to an age of scorched earth economics.   • “She set out to get inflation down, but it didn't work out well at all. There was a massive deflation of the economy and unemployment almost doubled.” – Sir Tim Lankester • “Manufacturing suffered enormously. Output went down by almost 20%. These were pretty bad years for the economy.” – Sir Tim Lankester Buy Inside Thatcher's Monetarism Experiment through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org's fees help support independent bookshops too.  We are sponsored by Indeed.

Hi Guys,Remember the first time you heard about the sport dressage? Did you have to google it or are you reaching for your phone right now? You're not alone! Even in a country where we are based - the UAE- and a region where equestrian traditions date back centuries, dressage (and we've just dropped a hint here), is only just growing in popularity.So, what do you find when you google dressage? A captivating equestrian art form, a meticulously orchestrated dance that unfolds gracefully between rider and horse—a true synergy of kindred spirits.In the UAE, dressage is experiencing a surge in popularity, marked by a remarkable 120% increase in rider registrations over the past year, with 20% of them being Emirati participants. Today, we're joined by our guest, Natalie Lankester, an accomplished equestrian who proudly represented the UAE alongside her four-legged companion, Cash DXB, at the 19th Asian Games in September. Their performance took them all the way to the Freestyle Dressage qualifying round of the competition.For Natalie, horse riding is a familial legacy, and upon moving to the UAE, dressage became everything from a competitive outlet to therapy. In this sport, where proficiency deepens with age and experience, Natalie shares insights into her profound connection with her horses and their welfare in sports, the collaborative training journey, the honour of representing the UAE internationally, her remarkable performance at the Asian Games, and the promising trajectory of dressage in the Emirates.For cyclists accustomed to only grappling with bike "mechanicals," this conversation offered us a unique perspective in the delicate partnership in equestrian sports.To find Natalie on Instagram: @natalie_lankester_dressage and @dxbhorsesFor more about equestrian sports in the UAE visit the UAE Equestrian and Racing Federation: https://uaeerf.ae/en/Natalie's sponsors include LeMieux (@lemieuxproductsofficial) and Saddle Box Spain (@saddleboxspain)Natalie is represented by @wearedarkhorse.co and thank you to Hannah and team for organizing this interview!

Sabrina Soebhan van Everything is Om en Resi Lankester gaan voor deze podcast samen in gesprek over hun gemeenschappelijke passie: yoga. Resi vertelt over de zoektocht die ontstond nadat haar vader zichzelf van het leven beroofde. Yoga heeft haar geholpen bij het omgaan met alle overweldigende emoties. Ze is sterker geworden, fysiek en mentaal en heeft een hoop levenslessen geleerd op haar yogamat. Deze openhartige podcast geeft je een kijkje in het leven van een 'moderne' yogi en laat zien hoe yoga verschillende levensprocessen kan ondersteunen.  Als beginnende yogi is het soms nog niet helemaal duidelijk wat de werkelijke waarde van yoga is. Wanneer je jezelf in een onmogelijke positie probeert te wurmen, compleet met alle bijbehorende frustraties dan is het misschien aantrekkelijker om van de mat af te stappen en deze nooit meer op te zoeken. Deze podcast laat je zien wat kan gebeuren op het moment dat je de confrontatie met jezelf op de mat durft aan te gaan. Wanneer je al langere tijd yoga beoefent, dan zal je ongetwijfeld veel herkenning vinden in de verhalen en misschien ook wat verklaringen voor dat wat je tegenkomt op de mat. Tot slot is deze podcast ook interessant voor mensen die worstelen met grote levensvraagstukken en benieuwd zijn of het beoefenen van yoga een manier kan zijn om verder te groeien.

Today I talk with Kirsten about leaving the security of a well paying corporate job, to follow her dreams. Her journey has not been a straight line, and it took a lot of courage to leave comfort for fulfillment. We talk about how it's never too late to make a career change, and how you're never too old to fail at something and try something new. A lot of us are living our lives constantly wondering what would happen if we took a risk, but we are too scared to make the change. Kirsten did just that and tells us all about it. Listen to the episode to hear how she went from a corporate downtown working lady to an actress who is about to film her first movie. Follow her on Instagram @Kirstenstyles and go check out her production company website www.anyroadproduction.com 

Journalist Resi Lankester is halverwege de twintig wanneer haar vader, een excentrieke Amsterdamse boekhandelaar, van driehoog uit het raam springt. Hij overleeft de val niet. Resi vertelt over hoe ze met dit verlies is omgegaan en hoe yoga haar daarbij heeft geholpen. Het boek van Resi Lankester 'Na de val' bestel je hier (https://www.bol.com/nl/f/na-de-val/9200000115192805/) Het boek van David Mangene 'How to not kill yourself' bestel je hier (https://www.awbruna.nl/boek/non-fictie/david-mangene/how-to-not-kill-yourself/).

Mark Heath, Stuart Watson, Andy Warren and Ross Halls are back with another episode of the Kings of Anglia Podcast.  In this episode we discuss the latest plan to complete the season, Jack Lankester's injury boost and take a dip into the mailbag.

Toen schrijver Resi Lankester halverwege de twintig was, pleegde haar vader zelfmoord. Tien jaar later interviewde zij als journalist, kinderen van ‘zelfmoordouders’. Die gesprekken inspireerde haar om het boek ‘Na de Val’ te schrijven. Het vertelt niet alleen het verhaal van Lankester en de dood van haar vader, maar ook nog vijf andere verhalen van volwassen kinderen en de nasleep van de zelfgekozen dood van hun ouders. Presentatie: Gijs Groenteman

Today’s thought is exactly that: How we think when we garden. Emerson wrote: Blame me not, laborious band, For the idle flowers I brought; Every aster in my hand Comes back laden with a thought. How wonderful our gardens are for thinking. Creatively. Therapeutically. Soulfully. Every bloom can be a vessel for an idea, a hurt, a solution. I had a fight with my daughter the other day. We were getting no where. Exasperated and just plain tired, I had her help me with the houseplants. In case you’re wondering, we were spring cleaning all the greens - even the fake ones! There was no talk. No more disagreement. Just the plants and water and a little soap... and our thoughts. Before we knew it, we were ready to come together. Our welfare and happiness restored by the thoughts knit together in the company of plants. Brevities #OTD British botanist, author, pragmatist and survivor Phebe Lankester (Books By This Author) died today in 1900 and was born tomorrow in 1825.   Born Phebe Pope, she married the naturalist Edwin Lankester who was a coroner and medical reformer. They had eleven children. When Phebe was 49, Edwin died; she had to keep producing work to take care of herself and her family.    Phebe Lankaster wrote under a number of pseudonyms. Her books were published under the name Mrs. Lankester.  She wrote a syndicated column under the signature “Penelope” for 20 years.  Her energy and work brought friendships with the celebrities of her day: painters, actors, intellectuals, and writers.  In 1895, the painter Herman Herkomer painted a wonderful portrait of Phoebe Lankester - her warmth and wit captured on the canvas.   Her work appealed to the masses; she wrote in a friendly and conversational voice.   And, she wrote about what she knew: plants, educating children about health, and being financially smart.  Her books range from A Plain and Easy Account of the British Ferns (1859) to The National Thrift Reader (1880) It was the widowed Phebe Lankester who said, “Often the most thrifty persons are the most generous, because they can afford to be so.”   Phebe  often partnered with illustrator James Sowerby and other members of the Sowerby family for illustrations in her books.   She worked with James on her sweet, little book Wild Flowers Worth Notice; with 108 coloured figures from drawings by James E. Sowerby    An advertisement for the book in 1861 noted that Mrs. Lankester herself says in her charming pre-face, "what flowers are not worth notice?” Reviewers were happy with Mrs. Lankester’s selections calling them "the special delight of flower-gatherers, as for example, the sun-dew, the mistletoe, the bog pimpernel, the grass of Parnassus, flax, white water-lily, fly orchis, milk-wort, and germauder speedwell, etc. Lankester's pays sweet tributes to her favorite plants, incorporating brevities: folklore, quotes, poems and general Information.   For example, in her preface, Lankester quotes Longfellow: Wondrous truths, and manifold as wondrous,   God hath written in those stars above; But not less in the bright flowerets under us   Stands the revelation of his love. She also quoted Wordsworth: Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy. One review said ”Mrs. Lankaster writes so easily and naturally, that no deliberate effort seems to have been made. It is a little book, but teaches a great deal, and in so pleasant a way that to be wearied is impossible.”  This is in line with the last page of her book where Lancaster confesses she had thought about writing a book like this many times, but lacked the courage because she didn’t want to offend.  She wrote “Having now gone over the … collection of Wild Flowers, endeavoring to chronicle the chief attractions and virtues of each, I can but feel how little has been said when compared with all that remains unsaid, but felt.” #OTD Happy Birthday today Joseph Trimble Rothrock (Books By This Author) born today in 1839. Plagued by sickness as a child, Rothrock felt the call of the great outdoors, “I just had to go to the woods. Throughout my entire life, I have sought the ‘out of doors’ as a refuge against impending physical ills." Rothrock went to Harvard and worked every day in the private herbarium of Asa Graywho visited Rothrock’s hometown to collect botanical specimens.  Of Dr. Gray, Rothrock said,  “[He] was kindness personified, though a strict disciplinarian and a most merciless critic of a student's work. I owe more to him than to any other man, and I never think of him without veneration." He also studied geology under Louis Agassizwho became his friend. (Agassi’s motto was, “study nature, not books”)   Rothrock suspended his studies at Harvard to fight in the Civil War.  His right thigh and hand was wounded at Fredricksburg in 1862 (Burnside's fight), he shook hands with President Lincoln at an army hospital.  Later in his life, in a photograph of Rothrock called “The old white pine and the Father of Forestry”, he stands in front of the trunk of a huge white pine.  With his signature long white beard and kind affect, the gentle expert's right hand is grasping a walking stick. The photo notes say that his right little finger was amputated at Fredricksburg.   Rothrock attempted to return to Harvard, but discovered that his professors - including Asa Gray - had formed a military company and wanted to serve in the war.  Rothrock insisted that Dr. Gray was too old to serve, took his place in the company, and served for another three months.   Rothrock taught botany and went on to become a surgeon. He went on a number of important expeditions and wrote the Flora of Alaska.    His passion for forestry ignited when he was named a Michaux Lecturer on Forestry and he took a nine-month sabbatical to study under renowned botanist Anton Debaryat the University of Strasbourg in Germany.     In 1893, Rothrock began an expedition to investigate the challenges affecting Pennsylvania’s forests or "Penn's woods” as he called them. For two years, Rothrock and his associate engineer, William Shunk, investigated the condition of forests in Pennsylvania.   Destructive forest fires were all too common during the logging era, and long before “Smokey the Bear”, Rothrock lead the effort to prevent forest fires.  Rothrock said that “almost every forest fire is the result of ignorance, carelessness, or crime, and that there is some one to punish for it.” Rothrock reported the problems of deforestation; he also educated the public on tree propagation and forest restoration.  Facing opposition from farmers and timber barons, Rothrock’s relentless focus on forestry aimed at making policy change.  In 1901, he wrote, “Twenty years ago I began agitation upon the forestry question, I have kept at it ever since; […] you have no idea of the amount of work it requires to change a generation from tree destroyers to tree restorers; it is something akin to a second birth.” In 1909, Rothrock, at age seventy, sold his vast herbarium and library to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The collection reportedly contained 22,207 specimens including specimens named in his honor:  Artemisia Rothrockia, Halenia Rothrockii, Nama Rothrockii, Pentstemon Rothrockii, Stachys Rothrockii, Toivnsendia Rothrockii and from Lower California a genus Rothrockia which belongs to the family Asclepiadaceae.   Rothrock State Forest in Pennsylvania is also named in his honor and Joseph Trimble Rothrock’s birthday - April 9th - is commemorated annually in Pennsylvania schools as Arbor Day. #OTDThe first episode of Gardeners Question Time was broadcast from the Broadoak Hotel in the 'singing room' on April 9th, 1947.Originally named "How Does Your Garden Grow?", it was an offshoot of the war time Dig for Victory campaign. On the first panel were Bill Sowerbutts, Fred Loads, Tom Clark and Dr E. W. Sansome. Over the years, the panelists have changed.  But as they told the audience at their 40th anniversary Episode, “ times change so do people - but gardening goes on forever”. And so do Gardening worries caused by gardening problems. The program is still broadcast today to millions of listeners and has answered over 35000 questions to date.

Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Here’s a sweet diary entry for today by Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol(“Sar-ee-all”) from 1938 shared by the Toronto Archiveson their fabulous twitter feed - which is a wonderful thing to follow:   "There are five frames in all, three are for herbs, the other two are for Wild Flower seeding. The frames are 3 feet by 3 feet… In each section, and prior to planting I can duplicate the exact growing conditions of the subject.....It will be quite possible to fill the spaces with soil, moss, bog, etc., taken from locations where the plants to be seeded are now growing or have been known to grow. Thus, a few frames can represent a whole Wild Flower garden in seed."#Saurioldiaries"

I'm a firm believer that menopause should be a) less taboo, b) talked about not as a 'disease' but as a rite of passage, and c) nothing to fear. But it's human nature to have some level of fear of the unknown. So let's talk about menopause, shall we? Continuing the Menopause series, today's guest is Rachel Lankester, founder of Magnificent Midlife. Rachel has some strong opinions about menopause and, like myself, she's passionate about making it less taboo.  Join the conversation as we talk about our menopause mindset, accepting menopause, vaginal dryness and more. It's time to get rid of the fear and talk . . . or, in this case, you should definitely be listening. ****** Midlife-A-Go-Go the podcast! Be sure to listen, download, subscribe and pass it along.

This week we have an episode so huge that we had to split it in two (partly because Logic Express can't export an audio file that renders more than 2GB in full resolution, grrr)! This two-parter episode features two members of the cast of 'Relationship Status' - Gavin Yap, Susan Lankester (who you've heard before on episode 7) - together with the director of the flick, Khairil M. Bahar! And yes, that's the same Khai that usually hosts the show with Amelia Chen which is why we also have a guest host, Mr. CEO of WAMM himself (who appeared in the last episode), Mr. Michael Chen!
