British American Tobacco: Front Groups

British American Tobacco
The tobacco industry has a long history of using PR techniques to avoid regulation and undermine opposition. By looking at just one company -- British American Tobacco (BAT) -- and its involvement in funding front groups the huge extent of this manipulation is evident. Tobacco companies have used front groups for decades, often working in cooperation with each other to maximise results. In 1998, as a result of litigation, tobacco companies were required to open up their records for public access, which has allowed researchers to uncover information on the inner workings of the tobacco industry. With the use of these documents several instances of BAT-funded front groups have been found, showing the lengths to which the industry is willing to go to protect its interests.

British Committee on the Theory of International Politics

The British Committee on the Theory of International Politics was a group of scholars created in 1959 under the chairmanship of the Cambridge historian Herbert Butterfield, with financial aid from the Rockefeller Foundation, that met periodically in Cambridge, Oxford, London and Brighton to discuss the principal problems and a range of aspects of the theory and history of international relations.
==Meetings==
Under the guidance of Herbert Butterfield, Martin Wight, Adam WatsonObituary on Times Online Obituary on Telegraph Martin Wight - quoted in Vigezzi (2005: 414) - portrayed Watson as 'an avid reader of everything, and a shrewd intellectual magpie'. and Hedley Bull, the British Committee on the Theory of International Politics met three times a year for an almost thirty-year period from the 1950s to the 1980s, once or twice in Italy. In 1974 a three days meeting (27-30 September) was held at Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio, in agreement with the Rockfeller Foundation.
==Publications==
They produced books, essays, article, and they regularly wrote a series of papers specially conceived for the Committee which provoked lively internal discussions and most of which are still unpublished.

British Fascists

The British Fascists were the first avowedly fascist organisation in the United Kingdom. William Joyce and Arnold Leese were amongst those to have passed through the movement as members.
==Early years==
They were formed in 1923 by Miss Rotha Lintorn-Orman, previously a feminist, in the aftermath of Benito Mussolini's March on Rome, and originally operated under the Italian-sounding name British Fascisti. In the very beginning, they viewed themselves as simply an adult version of the Scout movement, and had few policies beyond admiration for Mussolini and anti-communism. 
Largely comprised of military officers, the party confined itself to stewarding Conservative Party meetings, and canvassing for the party (a policy which saw some of the more radical members split to form the National Fascisti). One of their few policies, was a call for a reduction in income tax so that the well off could hire more servants and so reduce unemployment.
==The 1926 strike==
The British Fascists name was subsequently taken by the movement in an attempt to Anglicise their aspect, and underline their patriotic credentials. It had been roundly criticized and accused of being in the pay of a foreign leader, Mussolini, largely because of their name. Along with the change of name, the British Fascists also began to become politically more mature, particularly after the General Strike of 1926, which they saw as a first step towards Communism in Britain. 
They were not however permitted to join the government's official Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies (set up to mobilise a non-striking workforce) without first relinquishing Fascism. As a result a further split occurred as a number of members, calling themselves the British Loyalists, did just that.
==Decline==
The movement developed a programme that called for a strengthening of the House of Lords, a cut down on those eligible to vote, and a raft of anti-trade union legislation. In 1927 the followers of the movement adopted a blue-shirted uniform, and as such soon became known as the Blueshirts.
After 1931, they abandoned their attempts to form a distinctly British version of Fascism, and instead adopted the full programme of Mussolini and his National Fascist Party. The emergence of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) severely damaged the fortunes of the British Fascists, as did the passing of a series of public order laws in the 1930s that banned uniforms and curtailed the right to demonstrate. The BUF claimed the bulk of the old movement's membership in 1932, when Neil Francis Hawkins split from Lintorn-Orman and moved towards Oswald Mosley, with the few remaining struggling on until the death of Lintorn-Orman in 1935 when the movement was wound up.
