Le film très populaire "Le discours du roi" ouvre beaucoup de questions concernant la représentation du pouvoir à l'écran. Cet article (cliquez sur le lien ci-dessus) conclut qu'il s'agit d'un bon film, mais d'une représentation fausse de l'histoire.

Britain since 1945 - Clause four
Several times in the history of the Labour Party in the twentieth century, the deate about "Clause Four of the Labour Party Constitution" will be important. Here is the clause in question. It was added to the Labour Party constitution in 1918.
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."

Britain since 1945 - Harold Wilson
What wikipedia says about the man is not bad :
Harold Wilson first served as Prime Minister in the 1960s, during a period of low unemployment and relative economic prosperity (though also of significant problems with the UK's external balance of payments). His second term in office began in 1974, when a period of economic crisis was beginning to hit most Western countries. On both occasions, economic concerns were to prove a significant constraint on his governments' ambitions. Wilson's own approach to socialism placed emphasis on efforts to increase opportunity within society, for example through change and expansion within the education system, allied to the technocratic aim of taking better advantage of rapid scientific progress, rather than on the left's traditional goal of promoting wider public ownership of industry. While he did not challenge the Party constitution's stated dedication to nationalisation head-on, he took little action to pursue it.
Though generally not at the top of Wilson's personal areas of priority, his first period in office was notable for substantial legal changes in a number of social areas, including the liberalisation of censorship, divorce, homosexuality, immigration and abortion (see Social issues, below), as well as the abolition of capital punishment, due in part to the initiatives of backbench MPs who had the support of Roy Jenkins during his time as Home Secretary.
Overall, Wilson is seen to have managed a number of difficult political issues with considerable tactical skill, including such potentially divisive issues for his party as the role of public ownership, British membership of the European Community, and the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, his stated ambition of substantially improving Britain's long-term economic performance remained largely unfulfilled.

M2 Rédaction-traduction
I have almost finished marking your scripts.
I hear that it is not easy to find work placements, so I wish you luck with that.
I was surprised to see that in US English "broadcasted" now exists as a past participle to "broadcast". You learn something every day.
I have put some of your encylcopedia articles up on wikipedia, under my name, before correction. You can visit the pages and correct the mistakes (I put them up without my corrections). If you don't correct them, someone else will eventually. Or someone who thinks the subject is not important enough to go on wikipedia will propose it be deleted...
I do recommend wikipedia for practising writing and watching it being corrected.

M2 Enseignement - préparation épreuve "Dossier de synthèse"
Voici les notes de votre devoir.
Attention! Ce sont des notes en lien au niveau que nous demandons pour un master. Vous aurez bien compris que la notation pour le CAPES est beaucoup plus sévère.
J'ai envoyé par mail une correction assez détaillée, aux étudiants qui m'avaient envoyé leur travail en format électronique.
Les défauts les plus courants et graves des devoirs étaient
1) ne pas mettre suffisamment au centre de l'analyse les objectifs des auteurs des documents.
2) ne pas montrer une large connaissance de l'histoire récente du Royaume Uni.
Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt.

M1 commentaire dirigé -Revision of British history
As well as the specific course taught by Mr Lasalle on Rights in Britain, I think a general revision of British history is urgently needed. There are many general books in the University Library and you should read some of them. But also, here, in six hours of Mp3 files, is a revision course on British history. listen to it in the metro.

Although the BBC website often gives an "official" view of history, where conflict is minimized and "automatic progress" is suggested, it is a site where you can learn a lot. In general it is considerably better written than wikipedia.
