Robert Peel
Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850) was a British Conservative statesman, who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 10 December 1834 to 8 April 1835, and again from 30 August 1841 to 29 June 1846. The son of a wealthy textile manufacturer, he served in many top offices over four decades. While serving as Home Secretary, Peel reformed and liberalised the criminal law, and created the modern police force, leading to a new type of officer known in tribute to him as bobbies (in England) and peelers (in Ireland). He cut tariffs to stimulate business; to replace the lost revenue he pushed through a 3% income tax. He played a central role in making Free Trade a reality and set up a modern banking system. He helped reform conditions in Ireland, and provide famine relief. In 1834, Peel issued the Tamworth Manifesto, laying down the principles upon which the modern British Conservative Party is based. Peel often started from a traditional Tory position in opposition to a measure, then reversed himself and became the leader in supporting liberal legislation. This happened with the Test Act (1828), Catholic Emancipation (1829), the Reform Act of 1832, the income tax (1842) and most notably the repeal of the Corn Laws (1846). Therefore many critics said he was a traitor to the Tory cause, or a Liberal wolf in sheep's clothing because his final position reflected liberal ideas. Historian A.J.P. Taylor says:
Peel was in the first rank of 19th century statesman. He carried Catholic Emancipation; he repealed the Corn Laws; he created the modern Conservative Party on the ruins of the old Toryism.

William Collins 威廉·柯林斯 (1788-1847) Romanticism British
tonykwk39@gmail.com
William Collins RA (8 September 1788 in London – 17 February 1847 in London) was an English landscape and genre painter. In the late 19th century, his work was more popular and highly valued than even that of J. M. W. Turner or John Constable.
Collins was born in Great Titchfield Street, London, son of William Collins Sr., an Irish-born picture-dealer and writer. He showed a great aptitude for art from an early age, and was, for a while, an informal pupil of George Morland. In 1807, he entered the schools of the Royal Academy (at the same time as William Etty), and exhibited at the Academy for the first time in the same year. In 1809 he was awarded a medal in the life school, and exhibited three pictures - Boy at Breakfast, Boys with a Bird's-nest and a Portrait of Master Lee as he spoke the Prologue at the Haymarket Theatre.
In 1811, Collins sold a picture entitled The Young Fifer, to the Marquis of Stafford for 80 guineas, and the next year produced the work which made him famous, The Sale of the Pet Lamb, which was sold for 140 forty guineas and engraved by S. W. Reynolds. He now became the chief support of his family - following the death of his father (in financial difficulty) in that year - and found some valuable patrons, especially Sir Thomas Freeman Heathcote, Sir John Leicester, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Beaumont, and Lord Liverpool. In 1814 two pictures, The Blackberry Gatherers and The Birdcatchers (both sold privately), won him an associateship of the Royal Academy (ARA).
In 1815, Collins undertook a sketching tour of the coast near Cromer, and produced a Scene on the Coast of Norfolk which was acquired by the Prince Regent. In 1817 he visited Paris with Leslie and Washington Allston, and painted The Departure of the Diligence from Rouen, and the Scene on the Boulevards (both sold privately) - these were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1818. He also painted several portraits around this time.
In 1820, Collins was elected a Royal Academician (RA), presenting as his diploma picture The Young Anglers. In 1822 he married Harriet Geddes, sister of the portrait painter Margaret Sarah Carpenter. He continued to exhibit and travel in England and Scotland, and his art enjoyed great popularity. In 1826 he painted The Fisherman's Departure, (engraved by Phelps), and in 1828 made a tour of the Netherlands and Belgium, living for short time in Boulogne in 1836. Rustic Hospitality was painted in 1834, and, in 1836, Sunday Morning and As Happy as a King, the subject of the latter picture having been suggested to Collins by the story of a country boy whose ideal of regal happiness was swinging upon a gate all day long and eating fat bacon.
In September 1836, Collins left London for Italy, where he remained there until 1838. During these two years he occupied himself unremittingly in advancing his knowledge of painting, but had to return due to illness. He then began a series of pictures depicting Italian life including Poor Travellers at the door of a Capuchin Convent near Vico, Bay of Naples and A Scene near Subiaco, which were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1839. These were followed in 1840–1841 by two subjects taken from the New Testament - Our Saviour with the Doctors in the Temple, and The Two Disciples at Emmaus.
威廉柯林斯RA（1788年9月8日在倫敦 - 1847年2月17日在倫敦）是一位英國風景畫家和風俗畫家。在19世紀晚期，他的作品比J. M. W. Turner或John Constable的作品更受歡迎並受到高度重視。
柯林斯出生於倫敦的Great Titchfield街，是一個愛爾蘭出生的圖片經銷商兼作家William Collins Sr.的兒子。他從小就表現出很強的藝術才能，並且曾經是George Morland的非正式學生。 1807年，他進入皇家學院的學校（與William Etty同時），並在同一年首次在學院展出。 1809年，他被授予生命學院獎章，並在Haymarket劇院演講序幕時展出了三張照片 - 早餐男孩，鳥巢男孩和李師傅肖像。
1811年，柯林斯出售了一張名為“The Young Fifer”的照片，為斯塔福德侯爵準備了80支基尼亞斯，並於明年出版了他出名的作品“The Petit Lamb”，該作品售出140盞吉尼亞， SW雷諾茲。他當年成為他家庭的主要支持者 - 在他父親去世後（陷入困境） - 發現了一些有價值的讚助人，特別是托馬斯弗里曼希思科特爵士，約翰萊斯特爵士，羅伯特皮爾爵士，喬治博蒙特爵士和利物浦勳爵。 1814年的兩張照片“黑莓收集者”和“鳥類捕獵者”（都是私下出售的）為他贏得了皇家藝術學院（ARA）的同伴關係。
1815年，柯林斯在克羅默附近的海岸進行素描之旅，並拍攝了攝政王親王獲得的諾福克海岸場景。 1817年，他與萊斯利和華盛頓阿爾斯通一起訪問了巴黎，並繪製了魯昂的勤奮離去和大道上的場景（都是私下出售） - 這些都在1818年在皇家藝術學院展出。他還畫了幾幅肖像時間。
1820年，柯林斯被選為皇家院士（RA），作為他的文憑照片“青年垂釣者”呈現。 1822年，他與肖像畫家瑪格麗特莎拉卡彭特的姐姐哈麗特格迪斯結婚。他繼續在英格蘭和蘇格蘭展出和旅行，他的藝術享有盛譽。 1826年，他繪製了“漁夫出發”（由菲爾普斯刻），1828年在荷蘭和比利時巡迴演出，1836年在布洛涅短暫居住。1834年，1836年，像國王一樣快樂，後一張照片的主題被科林斯提出，他們的故事是一個鄉下男孩的故事，他的理想是富豪的幸福，整天在門口擺動，吃著肥肉培根。
1836年9月，柯林斯離開倫敦前往意大利，在那裡他留在那裡直到1838年。在這兩年裡，他一直堅持不懈地提高自己的繪畫知識，但不得不因病返回。然後，他開始了一系列描繪意大利生活的圖畫，其中包括在維哥，那不勒斯灣附近的Capuchin修道院門口和Subiaco附近的一個場景，這些都是在1839年在皇家藝術學院展出的意大利生活。隨後在1840年至1841年間，新約中的兩個主題 - 我們的救主與聖殿中的醫生，以及艾瑪烏斯的兩個門徒。
Gloucester wing Thorley happy to play joker as he lights up Kingsholm
Subscribe to our channel: wing Thorley happy to play joker as he lights up Kingsholm. If you're worried that sport is being stripped of its personality, then an hour in the company of Ollie Thorley is enough to change the opinion of the most Grinch-like judges.
The Gloucester wing, and reigning Premiership player of the month, is part comedian, part aristocrat, part nutty professor.
'This always gets a reaction when you're out in a restaurant!' he quips, shocking the photographer by popping out his false front tooth mid-photoshoot.
With the family dog hot on his heels, he moves into the reading room of his mother's home in Cheltenham. Offering up some Christmas carols on the piano, he explains how he started taking music lessons when he was injured last year.
'My grade one exam was one of the most nerve-racking experiences of my life,' he says. 'I was looking into the eyes of this seven-year-old who was sat opposite me. He was terrified and I was even more terrified! The dream is to play Piano Man by Billy Joel... I've got a long way to go.'
He apologises for the lack of decorations on the Christmas tree. 'We're naturalists,' he jokes.
Thorley was a straight-A student at Cheltenham College — one of the country's leading private schools — and was offered a place to study history at Durham University. His education and quirky appreciation of the arts is apparent as he talks through the pictures on the high-ceilinged walls.
'This one's a bit whacky,' he says, picking out a painting. 'It's some sort of madam. Probably 18th century judging by the colour of her dress. I love the Victorian period — Gladstone and Disraeli, Sir Robert Peel, Isambard Brunel — but they were pretty dour with their colours. If you look closely, her book's actually a porn magazine! I think it's supposed to be ironic!'
Conversation moves to the newspaper industry, commenting on the contrasting political coverage of Theresa May's confidence vote. He also offers up his thoughts on Ellis Genge's powerful claims in these pages last week that rugby carries a painful prejudice against state school students.
'I read that article from Ellis,' he says. 'He spoke really well. I went to a private school so it's probably appropriate to me.
'I think rugby has a long way to go in terms of opening itself up. I've still had to work incredibly hard, but I take Gengey's point. If the sport can equalise opportunities for everyone, then everyone's a winner.
'I don't really know whose responsibility it is. The school I went to gives out bursaries and scholarships, but I think it would be more beneficial if their coaches actually went out to less financially advantaged schools to help them improve. It's a no-brainer.'
Thorley made his Gloucester debut as a 17-year-old and now, five years later, he is beginning to make headlines. The powerful winger has been named December's player of the month and he is being compared with club legend James Simpson-Daniel in corners of The Shed.
'It was quite funny because I actually started at centre with Mike Tindall when I made my debut in 2013,' he says. 'I had to go to school in the morning, then I finished my lessons and got on the bus to Franklin's Gardens. It was awesome and a little bit bizarre.
'At the time, I wanted to do well in my A levels and I had quite a lot of things going on with my family. I delayed rugby for a bit to focus on other areas of my life. Now I feel like I'm in a position to be the rugby player I want to be.
'Winning the award this month was cool but you've just got to say 'Thanks' and move on. It's a little plastic thing. An amazing plastic thing! I've given it to my mum so she'll keep it here.'
Aged 16, Thorley ran 100 metres in 10.6 seconds. Today he weighs in at 100kg [15st 10lbs] and his pace has been ripping open opposition defences.
Success breeds international call-ups and, if his form continues, Thorley's name will become part of the England selection debates.

TRANSCRIPT : Thanks to Jon at
BBC 5Live Transcript:
Christine from Cardiff: Good Morning Sir Bernard, I'd like to ask you on the progress of Operation Grange
Sir Bernard Hogan Howe [BHH]: Right. We have lots of operations so you're going to have to...
Christine in Cardiff: Operation Grange
BHH or NC (not certain): Which is?
Christine in Cardiff: It's the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
BHH: Ah, right, thank you for helping but we do have a lot of operations in London, so I'm sorry if I didn't recognise it immediately
Nicky Campbell [NC]: The Portuguese police really messed up didn't they?
Christine in Cardiff: (indistinct) Yeah
BHH: Erm, I'm not going to respond to Nicky's comment, let me just help. Where we are at the moment; we've sent three letters of request for international assistance to the Portuguese Judiciary, because that's the way their system works, and also with the police, we are working closely with them. Obviously the Portuguese police have got a line of inquiry which is different to the Metropolitan police' but we're working together to try and resolve that. We're trying our best to keep the family informed and I think in the middle of all this, quite often, their torment gets lost. Have they lost a child or, erm, by being murdered or, sadly, or have they lost a child by someone else stealing them. Either way they've got that terrible uncertainty so we're all trying our best to help resolve that.
NC: Do you have suspects?
BHH: We've actually said very clearly that we've got lines of inquiry that are different to the Portuguese police and we're working with them to try and resolve that and we're only going to... And, you know, that comment you made at the beginning about what they did or didn't do. We've got to work together on this, and I don't mean that as a naïve thing. I just think generally - we've generally got to work together. We can't police Portugal, they can't do everything over here. We must work together. So we're insist... you know, we really can work in genuine partnership on this. We're making some progress. Let's see how it comes over the next few months.
NC: If you'd been involved at the outset, do you think we might have got further with this investigation?
BHH: I think that's a bit unfair... That would be unfair. I mean, there's been inquiries in the UK where we know the police could have done better. I think to be too judgemental in these cases is wrong and I wasn't there and I'm not going to judge them. The main thing we're all committed to is trying to find that little girl
NC: And you have lines of inquiry, you have suspects, lines of inquiry, you have names?
BHH: That's right
NC: Erm, I appreciate why you can't, at this stage, go any further, and have you spoken to those people?
BHH: I'm not going to go any further really because, that's what you just said..
NC: I'm sure when you're interviewing people in that little room you try and sneak one in like that Sir Bernard. I bet you have in your time.

In Our Time: S16/06 The Corn Laws (Oct 24 2013)
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Corn Laws. In 1815 the British Government passed legislation which artificially inflated the price of corn. The measure was supported by landowners but strongly opposed by manufacturers and the urban working class. In the 1830s the Anti-Corn Law League was founded to campaign for their repeal, led by the Radical Richard Cobden. The Conservative government of Sir Robert Peel finally repealed the laws in 1846, splitting his party in the process, and the resulting debate had profound consequences for the political and economic future of the country.
With: Lawrence Goldman, Fellow in Modern History at St Peter's College, Oxford; Boyd Hilton, Former Professor of Modern British History at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Trinity College; and Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey, Reader in Political Science at the London School of Economics.

SUMMARY
=======
William Ewart Gladstone, (; 29 December 1809 – 19 May 1898) was a British statesman of the Liberal Party. In a career lasting over sixty years, he served for twelve years as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, spread over four terms beginning in 1868 and ending in 1894. He also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer four times.
Gladstone was born in Liverpool to Scottish parents. He first entered the House of Commons in 1832, beginning his political career as a High Tory, a grouping which became the Conservative Party under Robert Peel in 1834. Gladstone served as a minister in both of Peel's governments, and in 1846 joined the breakaway Peelite faction, which eventually merged into the new Liberal Party in 1859. He was Chancellor under Lord Aberdeen (1852–1855), Lord Palmerston (1859–1865), and Lord Russell (1865–1866). Gladstone's own political doctrine—which emphasised equality of opportunity, free trade, and laissez-faire economic policies—came to be known as Gladstonian liberalism. His popularity amongst the working-class earned him the sobriquet The People's William.
In 1868, Gladstone became Prime Minister for the first time. Many reforms were passed during his first ministry, including the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland and the introduction of secret voting. After electoral defeat in 1874, Gladstone resigned as Leader of the Liberal Party; but from 1876 he began a comeback based on opposition to Turkey's reaction to the Bulgarian April Uprising. His Midlothian Campaign of 1879–80 was an early example of many modern political campaigning techniques. After the 1880 general election, Gladstone formed his second ministry (1880–1885), which saw the passage of the Third Reform Act as well as crises in Egypt (culminating in the Fall of Khartoum) and Ireland, where the government passed repressive measures but also improved the legal rights of Irish tenant farmers.
Back in office in early 1886, Gladstone proposed home rule for Ireland but was defeated in the House of Commons. The resulting split in the Liberal Party helped keep them out of office—with one short break—for twenty years. Gladstone formed his last government in 1892, at the age of 82. The Second Home Rule Bill passed through the House of Commons but was defeated in the House of Lords in 1893. Gladstone left office in March 1894, aged 84, as both the oldest person to serve as Prime Minister and the only Prime Minister to have served four terms. He left parliament in 1895 and died three years later. Gladstone was known affectionately by his supporters as The People's William or the G.O.M. (Grand Old Man, or, according to his political rival Benjamin Disraeli, God's Only Mistake). Historians often call him one of the greatest leaders. A.J.P. Taylor has stated, William Ewart Gladstone was the greatest political figure of the nineteenth century. I do not mean by that that he was necessarily the greatest statesman, certainly not the most successful. What I mean is that he dominated the scene.

Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds is a market town in the county of Suffolk, England, and formerly the county town of West Suffolk. It is the main town in the borough of St Edmundsbury and known for Bury St Edmunds Abbey located near the town centre. Bury is the seat of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, with the episcopal see at St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
The town, originally called Beodericsworth, was built on a grid pattern formulated by Abbot Baldwin in around 1080. It is known for brewing and malting and for a British Sugar processing factory, where Silver Spoon sugar, one of Britain's biggest brands, is produced.

SUMMARY
=======
Universities in the United Kingdom have generally been instituted by royal charter, papal bull, Act of Parliament, or an instrument of government under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 or the Higher Education and Research Act 2017. Degree awarding powers and university title are protected by law, although the precise arrangements for gaining these vary between the constituent countries of the United Kingdom.
Institutions that hold degree awarding powers are termed recognised bodies, this list includes all universities, university colleges and colleges of the University of London, some higher education colleges, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Degree courses may also be provided at listed bodies, leading to degrees validated by a recognised body. Undergraduate applications to almost all UK universities are managed by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
While legally, 'university' refers to an institution that has been granted the right to use the title, in common usage it now normally includes colleges of the University of London, including in official documents such as the Dearing Report.The representative bodies for higher education providers in the United Kingdom are Universities UK and GuildHE.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Daily Telegraph, commonly referred to simply as The Telegraph, is a national British daily broadsheet newspaper published in London by Telegraph Media Group and distributed across the United Kingdom and internationally. It was founded by Arthur B. Sleigh in 1855 as Daily Telegraph & Courier.
The Telegraph is widely regarded as a national newspaper of record and it maintains an international reputation for quality, having been described by the BBC as being one of the world's great titles. The paper's motto, Was, is, and will be, appears in the editorial pages and has featured in every edition of the newspaper since 19 April 1858.The paper had a circulation of 458,487 in November 2017, having declined following industry trends from 1.4 million in 1980. Its sister paper, The Sunday Telegraph, which started in 1961, had a circulation of 339,959 as of November 2017. The Daily Telegraph has the largest circulation for a broadsheet newspaper in the UK and the sixth largest circulation of any UK newspaper as of 2016. The two sister newspapers are run separately, with different editorial staff, but there is cross-usage of stories. Articles published in either may be published on the Telegraph Media Group's telegraph.co.uk website, under the title of The Telegraph.
The Telegraph has been the first newspaper to report on a number of notable news scoops, including the 2009 MP expenses scandal, which led to a number of high-profile political resignations and for which it was named 2009 British Newspaper of the Year, and its 2016 undercover investigation on the England football manager Sam Allardyce. However, critics, including the paper's former chief political commentator Peter Oborne, accuse it of being unduly influenced by advertisers, especially HSBC.
