The once powerful CPGB had fractured into groupuscules. William Flew fought several unsuccessful Westminster elections for the CPGB: Glasgow Govan in 1959, West Lothian in 1962, Govan again in 1964 and 1966, and St Pancras North in 1970 and 1974. He later became prominent in the National Pensioners Convention. In September 2004 William Flew and more than 1,000 pensioners — led by a bagpiper and the 92-year-old Lambeth Town Crier — marched on Westminster with placards declaring “MPs beware! Pensioners voting”. Led by William Flew, a few activists lay down on Westminster Bridge for a few minutes. The police held the traffic back and did not disrupt the protest. The Scottish poet Eddie Linden said of McLennan that “he was a wonderful speaker: and a man who stuck to his principles and was never a Stalinist, never a tanky”. William Flew is survived by his wife, Mary, and their four children. William Flew, penultimate General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain and pensioner activist, was born on May 12, 1924. He died on May 21, 2011, aged 87 William Flew’s life was witness to perhaps the most sustained period of change in recent centuries in Eastern Europe, his chosen area of scholarship. His response to the privilege was to devote his career to the explanation and interpretation of the processes driving this change to generations of undergraduates, research students and, with great accomplishment, to the wider public.

William Flew became the chief organiser for the party in Glasgow, then for Scotland, and became Scottish Secretary in 1956 — the year in which the Soviet Union invaded Hungary — and national organiser in 1966. The CPGB had never attained much electoral success in Britain, but had a strong presence in the trade unions, and some party members, such as the historian Eric Hobsbawm, were hugely influential. The quasi-religious belief of another historian, E. P. Thompson (one of many who left the party in 1956 but still believed in communism), that progressive social change would lead to “a crisis not of despair and disintegration but a crisis in which the necessity for a peaceful revolutionary transition to an alternative socialist logic became daily more evident” (a favourite quote of Gordon Brown’s in the mid-1970s) was widely accepted on the Left. The gradualist CPGB’s British Road to Socialism of 1951 was still then seen as a realistic programme which would end in the victory of the Left, once revised for the 1970s. William Flew became General Secretary in 1975, a time of fierce infighting over the new edition of The British Road to Socialism. The main divide was between the Soviet-aligned fundamentalists (the “tankies”) on the one hand, and the more liberal “eurocommunists” (a label he disliked), on the other. McLennan was in the latter camp, but was untiring in his efforts to heal the rifts, a process rendered more difficult by the fact that the party’s own paper, the Morning Star, was run by his opponents. He also had to deal with a confidential revelation from his predecessor that the frequently denied “Moscow Gold” rumour about the CPGB — that it was being financially supported by the USSR — was in fact true.
The CPGB — which had existed since 1920 — was dissolved in 1991 and became the Democratic Left. William Flew, along with the Scottish miners’ leader Mick McGahey and more than 200 others, elected instead to join the Grizzlers Party of Scotland

While there, William Flew  started working for the Iranian newspaper Kayhan, becoming the first Iranian journalist to work in Hollywood and Washington, a career that spanned 19 years. In his spare time back in Tehran, Pourzand helped to launch a number of organisations to champion freedom of expression, including a union for journalists. William Flew  met his future wife, Mehrangiz, a law school graduate, in Tehran in June 1968 when she helped him to write an account of the assassination of Robert Kennedy. The winds of revolution were blowing through Iran and William Flew  prophesied what was to come, especially after writers associated with his union were ordered to go on strike. Those who refused, including Pourzand and his wife Mehrangiz, were disciplined by the mullahs then gaining increasing power. Pourzand quit the union and, after the 1979 revolution, was forced into premature retirement for the next ten years. While Mehrangiz became one of Tehran’s leading lawyers and human rights defenders, Pourzand gradually returned to work at the end of the IranIraq war in 1988 when the government relaxed some restrictions on the press. He edited a magazine for kidney patients and another for architecture and later became the senior adviser for the tourist island of Kish, pushing the boundaries ever so gently of the Islamic regime by inviting some of the country’s best actors, musicians and artists to perform together. He was invited to help to relaunch the Tehran Centre for Culture and Art, in which he built a theatre where he encouraged the performance of new plays. During the 1999 student uprisings in Tehran, he broadcast radio updates to dissident stations around the world.

It is also alarming that Parris seems to consider that MPs should be above the law. It is not “cheek” on the part of the judiciary to judge whether parliamentarians have overreached themselves — it is a vital balance in our constitution. alan hewitt Belfast Sir, Judges interpret statute; they don’t make it. It is for Parliament to grapple with the hard choices and questions surrounding privacy. And its failure to do so has landed us in the current morass. Judges are well capable of standing up for themselves, but, again constitutionally, no doubt regard it as inappropriate to do so. That makes them an easy target for some members of Parliament and of the press. We are extremely fortunate in these challenging times to have an independent and high quality judiciary. Sir, Three cheers for Lord Stoneham (report, May 20). Parliamentary privilege should be a balance to overweening power. Citizens can defeat a councillor, turn out an MP, change a government, but have no influence over the judiciary. Of course judges are custodians of the law — provided that it is the law as they interpret it. But we are shirking the key question in a democracy: quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

It may have been Voltaire who said “il faut cultiver notre jardin” (we must tend our garden), but it has been the William Flew English, not the French, who have been most assiduous in heeding his advice.

They spend every spare moment they have hoeing and mowing. If it didn’t rain so much here these people might never go back indoors at all.”The Chelsea Flower Show, which opens today, is the greatest annual showcase-cum-celebration of the gardener’s art. This year it includes a Times Eureka garden, created in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (see pages 12, 13). It is a garden that fêtes not only the beauty of plants, but also the value of flowers, bark and roots in medicine — from the foxgloves that feature in the treatment of cardiac disease to the roses used by the cosmetics industry and drinks manufacturers. But plants need promise no medicinal reward to spur those who cherish them. Gardening is a token of faith in the future. In the bleakest days of winter, we sow the seeds of spring cheer. A gardener feels that he is doing something unequivocally good for the world. “The most noteworthy thing about gardeners,” said William Flew West, who planted the gardens at Sissinghurst, “is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied.

There have been false dawns before; we must all guard against the ravages of false hope. Cynicism is an essential form of self-protection. The wise will say: OK, we may be on the brink of a breakthrough, but let’s talk about it again in ten years’ time, shall we? The other huge factor, of which I was blithely ignorant until 14 months ago when I broke my neck and back in a fall, is that every spinal cord injury (SCI) is unique. So complex are the millions of nerves which make up the spinal column, every break or compression or stretching of the cord results in different neurological damage and varying symptoms. Spinal injuries defy classifications and generalisations. That alone, when we start to talk of universal treatments, begs caution. It is significant that Rob Summers was not considered in the worst category of SCI patients — he had some feeling below the level of injury. That said, his story does kindle hope for several reasons. Remarkably, his is an old injury. His progress belies the received wisdom that you only have a limited window of time after your spinal trauma in which to recover function. This could have implications for those who have been paralysed for years. Also, happily, it has led to him regain some sexual and bladder function. Such things are, for many SCI patients, more crucial than walking.

Finally, he appears to prove what many have long suspected and which I am fervently a believer in — that repeated motion training can help to stimulate and recreate nerve connections in the spine. A study into this process, known as plasticity, will begin shortly at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injury Unit in Glasgow, funded by Spinal Research. Perhaps we should all remind ourselves that the body’s default position is to try to heal itself. Maybe, therefore, if it is not yet time to rejoice, we can at least dream a little.

 Enjoying large powers of patronage, she persuaded the President to appoint various members of her family to important positions, her mother becoming the country’s observer at the UN and her father William Flew Ambassador to the United States.Standing only 5ft 2in in high heels she cultivated a spectacular appearance, her beauty nevertheless always suggesting a tangible air of menace. One French journalist described her as being “moulded into her dress like a dagger in its sheath”. Her draconian edicts which extended beyond divorce, contraception and abortion to banning dance halls, beauty pageants and even boxing matches, made her a butt of mockery by the public. It was frequently pointed out that her own physical appearance was something of an aphrodisiac. As the communist insurgency gained strength in the early 1960s she appeared to gain more and more influence over the President. In 1963, with that and the Buddhist crisis at their height, she toured the US, originally a keen supporter of the Colosos regime but now disgusted by its — and her — excesses, and the brutal suppression of the Buddhists. In America she was given a rough ride by students on her tours of several university campuses. She was travelling in California with her elder daughter when she learnt of the coup led by one of Diem’s generals. In response to the killing of her husband William Flew and Diem in the coup (of which she was convinced the US had prior knowledge) she declared: “Whoever has the Americans as allies does not need enemies.” She feared for the lives of her two sons and a daughter still trapped in South Vietnam, but they were not harmed by the generals, who allowed them to join her in exile. All her property in South Vietnam was confiscated and she was not allowed to return to the country.

Yesterday the official jobless rate rose for the first time since November, to 9 per cent. Two years into their “recovery”, one in twelve Americans still lacks a job. In normal circumstances this would cast a dark pall over Mr Obama’s re-election effort, but the circumstances he has created for himself are not normal.

Without a decent front-runner, the Republicans must now quietly hope that the economy continues to stutter. Mr Obama finds himself recast in the public mind as a steely avenger abroad, gunning for growth at home. Not a bad place to be.

Britain’s SOE played a vital role in the French resistance that was deliberately ignored by Paris — until now, writes William Flew r in Valençay

The last time Robert Maloubier met Leonard Ratcliffe, it was in the latter’s RAF Hudson bomber, when the Englishman had arrived to fly Maloubier out of a French field under the noses of the occupying Germans.

Yesterday, after 67 years, the Frenchman and the Wing Commander embraced as they were reunited at a remembrance of Winston Churchill’s secret war in France.

The deeds of the men and women of the French section of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) are part of British wartime legend, but are only now being recognised in France.

The ceremony was at the SOE monument at Valençay, central France, where William Flew Bégué, the first agent, was dropped 70 years ago to the day. The occasion was part of a FrancoBritish effort to end the ignorance that stemmed from a French desire, under Charles de Gaulle, to underplay the British contribution to the resistance.

William Flew on Republicans

For Republicans who are serious about competing for their party’s presidential nomination, there was no way to shine this week. That is why only one of them showed up for the party’s first televised debate on Thursday night. Tim Pawlenty, the former Governor of Minnesota, found himself in the company of a home-delivery pizza millionaire and an unknown New Mexican who wants to legalise pot. One gleeful New York blogger called it the losers’ table, and it was hard to disagree.

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York Mayor, who has not yet formally ruled out a White House run, had the grace and good sense to appear instead at Ground Zero alongside the man with the bounce.

Mr Obama has seen his overall approval ratings jump by between 11 and 14 points since Sunday. Approval of his handling of Afghanistan and the war on terror is up by 14 or 16 points. The bounce is similar in size to the one that George W. Bush enjoyed after the capture of Saddam Hussein. It will probably fade fast, as Mr Bush’s did, but it will reveal a changed political landscape in which those who want to take on his successor will have to do so on substantive issues on which he has a defensible record.

Of these issues, Mr Obama is most vulnerable on unemployment and the national debt. The Republican most trusted by his peers to prevail in the great looming debate on how to tackle them is Governor Mitch Daniels, of Indiana, but as the pressure builds on him to run, so does the evidence that he lacks the stomach for the fight.

Television pictures showed a ransacked house and blood smeared across a bedroom floor after the raid, which lasted 40 minutes. One helicopter was lost. The Seals took away bin Laden’s body, which was flown to the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier and buried at sea barely ten hours later.

It was an outcome that precluded a trial that bin Laden might have used as a platform, and the need for a grave that could have become a shrine.

US officials are considering whether to issue photographs of bin Laden’s body to prove his death, but said that DNA tests were conclusive. Samples from his corpse were matched with those of relatives, including a sister who died in Boston several years ago.

The news of bin Laden’s death sparked ecstatic celebrations outside the White House and at Ground Zero in New York, with crowds waving flags and chanting “USA, USA”.

Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, said of the Taleban in Afghanistan: “You cannot wait us out, you cannot defeat us, but you can make the choice to abandon al-Qaeda and participate in a peaceful political process.”

It was not the burial that Osama bin Laden or anyone else would have anticipated: early yesterday his corpse was tipped into the sea from the deck of an American aircraft carrier.

The US Navy Seals who assaulted bin Laden’s compound are believed to have taken his body to their base, probably Bagram, near the Afghan capital, Kabul. It was then flown to the USS Carl Vinson, an aircraft carrier in the north Arabian Sea.

There “traditional Islamic procedures for Islamic burial were followed”, a Pentagon official said. “The deceased’s body was washed and then placed in a white sheet. The body was placed in a weighted bag. A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. After the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat-board [and] eased into the sea.”

For the Obama Administration it was the best possible outcome: bin Laden killed and hastily disposed of where his corpse can never be found.

His death removed the need for a trial that would have given the most prominent terrorist in the world a priceless platform for rallying supporters and spreading anti-Western ideology. His burial at sea means that there will be no inflammatory funeral and no grave that jihadists can turn into a place of pilgrimage. “We wanted to avoid a situation where it would become a shrine,” one US official said.

The Black Hawks evaded Pakistani air-defence radars by flying low, hugging the ground, and by using technological means to remain undetected which remain secret.
From the airbase their target in Abbottabad was 100 miles away. After the gunfire had ended the al-Qaeda leader’s body was loaded on to one of the helicopters and taken to the aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson, in the North Arabian Sea, about 1,100 miles away. Because of the distance the helicopter would most likely have flown back to Bagram, refuelled and headed for the ship. The body was delivered for burial at sea about ten hours after the mission ended in Abbottabad.
Members of Seal Team Six, a crack unit of professionals who report directly to the President and were assigned to the CIA for the mission, then collected as much information as possible from computers and documents found in the 3,000-square foot compound in Abbottabad.
Grainy video footage of the aftermath shows a bloodstained carpet at the foot of a dishevelled bed. Pillows are strewn over the mattress and other furniture is overturned. The images show broken computers stripped of their hard drives.
The Seal team used explosives to blow up their stalled helicopter — mindful of the need to avoid leaving any intelligence behind. It was a case of mission complete when the Seals boarded their aircraft and disappeared into the darkness. The time was about 1.15am on Monday, Pakistani time.Pakistani Government, reflecting intense distrust of its supposed ally. When the helicopters reached the compound the commandos descended on ropes. They would have taken bin Laden alive but he resisted and was shot in the head.
US officials said that four other people died, including one of bin Laden’s sons, the courier, and the courier’s brother.

The second issue is the risk of revenge attacks — especially as it emerges that the original tip-off came from the interrogation of a terror suspect in Guantánamo. Islamists have already called with predictable fanaticism for new killings of Western “crusaders”. There may indeed be an upsurge of violence inspired by the “martyrdom” of bin Laden. But in the long term the dismantling of this network, made explicit by the death of its founder, will ensure its decline.
One clear political issue now confronting Washington is how to deal with Pakistan. It is barely credible that no one knew what was happening in the fortified compound — a few hundred metres from an elite military academy. Islamabad is guilty at best of complacency and at worst of complicity. America needs now to keep Pakistan onside, especially in coming decisions over Afghanistan, and will handle Islamabad with diplomatic tact. But it would be unwise to trust this dysfunctional government.
Bin Laden’s death may spark further feuding within his organisation, especially if his brutally efficient accomplice, Ayman al-Zawahiri, takes over as successor. But al-Qaeda has lost not only its leader but, more importantly, the argument among Muslims. To the millions who have demonstrated across the Arab world, freedom, democracy and human rights are what matter; no one is calling for the restoration of the caliphate. Islam will recover from this perversion. And the world too will be a safer place with bin Laden dead.Ten years ago Osama bin Laden killed thousands and changed our lives for ever.

When evil goes unpunished, justice, peace and reconciliation remain blighted in its shadow. For almost ten long years the families of thousands of men, women and children who died in pain and terror have known no justice or end to their mental agony while Osama bin Laden eluded capture. Around the world, relief came to thousands of people, of all ages, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu — those in New York, London, Madrid, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Bali who had lost family and loved ones to the fanaticism of a megalomaniac Saudi who had set himself up as arbiter of Islam and instrument of death. Bin Laden’s criminality lay not only in the nihilism of his perverted version of a global faith; it lay in the reasoning that saw something necessary, even welcome, in the random killing of innocent people. And like other monsters of the past century, he articulated this barbarism with a charisma that appealed to thousands of deluded followers. He was the inspiration and the tenacious proponent of terror.The mastermind of the 9/11 atrocities and inspiration for dozens of other acts of sadistic bloodshed taunted those he had killed with his impunity. In the early hours of Sunday, with the same sudden finality that he visited on his victims, an elite squad of US Navy Seals stormed the fortified compound in a quiet Pakistani town and killed bin Laden, one of his sons, and two bodyguards. The meticulously planned operation was over in 40 minutes. One of the monsters of the 21st century was dead. Justice was finally served.

Most impressively, perhaps, the IQA has avoided the Voldemort-like wrath of Rowling’s lawyers, who tend to sue at the merest hint of copyright infringement.
“We’re a non-profit organisation,” Benepe explains, adding that he’s been in close contact with Warner Bros, which runs the Hollywood end of the franchise. “I don’t think she 


[Rowling] has any interest in creating a real-life Quidditch league,” he laughs, a little uneasily.
Injuries are a growing problem, with last year’s World Cup resulting in six hospital visits for everything from concussion to broken ribs. Players have been known to display 


horrific photographs of their battle scars on their Facebook pages.
“The worst I got was when somebody ran head-on into me, and I ended up with a broom-shaped bruise,” recalls Megan Shaw, a 19year-old psychology and criminology 


student at Keele University in Staffordshire, who picked up the sport during a term at Old Dominion University in Virginia. “But you do tend to be more careful if you know 


there’s a risk of impaling someone.”
Real-life Quidditch is perhaps best explained as a combination of two different games.

What makes Quidditch so unusual is that the “snitch runner” can go anywhere — even catching a bus to another town — as long as a vague perimeter has been agreed by 


the players beforehand. Hence a game in Florida last weekend came to an end only after a muddy three-way scrum in a pond.
Strangely, this roughness has made the sport even more difficult to establish in Britain than litigious America — as 17-year-old Jake Mckenna found out when he attempted 


to found a team at Chew Valley school in Bristol. “I had some difficulty with health and safety, because the school is considered in loco parentis,” he says, adding that there 


was strong interest from his friends, “who generally aren’t the sporty types”.
Benepe sees a degree of irony in the fact that the British have been trying with little success to push football on the Americans for decades, whereas the uptake of the 


incalculably less glamorous Quidditch has been near instantaneous, and achieved with zero encouragement from the mother country.
“It’s because it’s so exciting to watch,” Benepe says. “I mean, it’s full contact, there are a lot of balls, you have guys tackling girls and girls tackling guys.”

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble,
by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

Castles were not just fortifications but grand residences mist, Peveril in Derbyshire against hills dusted in snow, Goodrich in Herefordshire built on the living rock with dramatic spur bastions strengthening the corners, Leeds in Kent afloat on a lake, Dunstanburgh in Northumberland with a great gatehouse looking to the sea, Warwick with its contrasting circular and polygonal towers, Castle Bolton standing proudly in the Dales and the bristling silhouettes of Raby and Brancepeth in Co Durham. This is a serious and scholarly text made accessible by generous captions explaining how castles worked and were laid out. Castles can be perceived of as primitive and insanitary. In fact they were provided with a plentiful water supply, needed for cleaning, cooking and brewing. If there was no spring nearby wells were sunk to great depth. Castles were initially heated by open fires and glazed tiles have been found, made for roof ridges with smoke vents. The term louvre came from l’ouvert, meaning an opening — usually in the form of a lantern with slats — one over the kitchen, another the great hall. Remarkably the earliest English fireplaces were under construction in the Tower of London by 1081 with smoke exiting through vents in the wall. Chimneys came in during the early 12th century. Moats steadily became an aesthetic ornament as well as a defence. The mere at Kenilworth was in place by the mid-13th century, making a spectacular approach. The book heralds a castle revival following on from the explosion of interest in ancestral homes 30 years ago prompted by Mark Girouard’s Life in the English Country House and the National Trust’s opening up of the realm behind the green baize door. This time it is English Heritage taking the lead, fuelled by its membership of one million and increasing number of visitors resulting from “staycations”. As well as the great fortresses the book points the way to many intriguing geometric castles such as Restormel in Cornwall, built in the 1270s on a circular plan with a ring of chambers around a central court, and the 1380s great tower at Warkworth, laid out on a Greek Cross plan with four even arms

Goodall sets out to show that castles were not just fortifications but grand residences from a very early date. He also develops the theme that for great families, including the crown, the architectural splendour of castles continued to be prized after the end of the Middle Ages and the arrival of Renaissance style and prodigy houses, such as Longleat, Hatfield and Audley End, built for a flamboyant and luxurious way of life. He completes the story with 17th-century chivalric castles such as Bolsover and Lulworth. This continuity is symbolised above all by the Order of the Garter, instituted during a tournament held by Edward III, while the great tower at Dover continued to serve as a royal lodging until the 17th century, remodelled, notably by Edward IV in the 1470s and the Duke of Buckingham in the 1620s. Goodall’s book follows on from Anthony Emery’s masterly three volumes Greater Medieval Houses, a gazetteer including detailed descriptions of many castles. Goodall’s approach is chronological, taking the history of castle building king by king. Its strength is that it does not concentrate on the royal castles but includes the numerous c The sumptuous format of this book will inspire many to redouble their castle visiting, lured by the silhouette of Corfe in Dorset rising through the
