		<description><![CDATA[Margaret Thatcher&#39;s passing was never going to be a quiet one; first woman Prime Minister and one of only two to change the country since 1945. Both remarkable and controversial, I can understand why some will not be moved to mourn. The barefaced glee that some have shown over her death is disturbing, though they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alan Bennett&#39;s latest play takes us to crumbling Stacpoole House in South Yorkshire. Dorothy, the owner, is under pressure to endow it to the National Trust (who are enraptured by its collection of still full chamberpots), but she is also tempted by a shady art dealer (who believe that&#160;the&#160;presence&#160;of other people&#160;spoils things) and by a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When someone becomes famous, or infamous enough, their Name joins common parlance, repeatedly invoked to illuminate the present. The real person behind the Name becomes fainter and fainter, as we continue to substitute them for their Name, re-using it to within an inch of its life until it suggests a type, a stock figure, instantly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Max Hastings wonders if our native Film Industry will ever give us some patriotic pep with a heartily unembarrassed story of British pride and glory, in the mould of Spielberg&#39;s Lincoln&#160;and Mel Gibson&#39;s Braveheart. Our own efforts appear abashed by comparison &#8211; the porphyria of George III, the widowhood of Victoria, the stammer of George [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Marr&#39;s History of the World in eight hours inevitably tells of the movers and the shakers who changed the destinies of nations and of man. Such a narrative stands in contrast to another documentary, relating the short and simple annals of Christina Cok (d. 1345), a Hertfordshire peasant from&#160;Codicote. Why use someone so insignificant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are One Nation under CCTV. Increasingly sophisticated, cameras may serve their purpose, but the risk of misuse means some will never trust their merciless glare, or the authorities behind them.&#160;But it&#39;s not just the state that has cameras. We all do. It&#39;s not enough to call someone with your phone, you have to be [...]]]></description>

What spirit would be appropriate, now that combatants are colleagues and we question what could ever justify such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, I came to the Norfolk coastal town of Sheringham and discovered that I had arrived in the middle of an orgy. Of nostalgia, that is. The community had given the weekend over to celebrating the 1940&#39;s. Despite the odd sandbag, unexploded bomb (with smoke effects) and tape on the windows, it was more [...]]]></description>
