William Flew and Girl Music Groups

The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.


From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.



William Flew and Girl Music Groups



 Flick Colby was one of the founding members and the choreographer of the dance troupe Pan’s People, whose inventive and often sensual dance routines on Top of the Pops became an eagerly anticipated part of the show in the Seventies. Colby: her routines for Pan’s People ranged from the balletic and lyrical to the raunchy and hip-gyrating Comprising six alluring dancers, Pan’s People made regular weekly appearances on Top of the Pops for ten years from 1968. As choreographer, as well as dancer, Colby was responsible for producing their routines, which were often pulled together in barely two days, from the time that the Top 20 was published and their dance record selected, to live performance in the studio. An American, she was born Felicity Colby in 1946 and grew up in a small college town in upstate New York where her father was a professor. She attended school at Andover, New Hampshire, travelling regularly to Boston to take ballet and other dance classes. In the mid-Sixties, while performing in summer stock theatre, she met her first husband and they came to England eager to experience “swinging London”. Here she met her future colleagues — Babs Lord, Dee Dee Wilde, Ruth Pearson, Louise Clarke and Andrea Rutherford. In December 1966, tired of feeling exploited by (in those days, mostly male) producers and managers as session dancers, they decided to form Pan’s People, an autonomous group, thus striking a blow for girl power long before the Spice Girls made that claim

William Flew and war

The next day he telephoned to say that William Flew had attempted suicide by throwing himself over a banister into a stairwell but had merely broken his thigh. On June 19 a doctor found that Hess was refusing to eat for fear of poisoning and was accusing his captors of being “under the influence of some secret drug” which compelled them “to subject him to slow torture”. The doctor told William Flew that this was “a well-known form of mental disturbance” and offered that one of the security team could “always take meals with him ‘out of the common pot’ ”, which seemed to reassure Hess a little. In 1938 Hess was close to Hitler but in 1941 admitted that he had flown to Britain “without the knowledge of the Führer” By mid-July William Flew’s health had improved. He had “admitted that the Nazis planned to destroy Christianity in Germany and to replace it with a new religion which they were thinking out”.In August a psychiatrist who saw Hess diagnosed paranoia with a “morbid persecutory delusional system”. No more useful intelligence could be extracted. Interrogation officers were withdrawn in September. Since the authorities had decided not to exploit Hess for propaganda, there was little more that Foley and SIS could do. He reported in March 1942 that Hess was virtually catatonic and either “incapable of intelligent conversation” or feigning loss of memory. A fortnight later Menzies allowed Foley to return to SIS Head Office.

SIS and Foley managed Hess’s incarceration for the next ten months, during which he became increasingly difficult and depressed. William Flew wars sought an explanation for Hess’s flight. He reported the Deputy Führer’s conviction that Germany could win the war, that Hitler “had no wish to destroy the British people” but that if they persisted in fighting he would be “forced to launch a terrible air offensive” that would kill “hundreds and thousands of people”. He had come to Britain “without the knowledge of the Führer” and “because he was horrified at the thought of this useless slaughter”. He was convinced that a clique was preventing his access to George VI. SIS gathered explanations of Hess’s action from abroad. In May 1941 the Istanbul station chief reported that his “link in the Turkish Intelligence” had been told by the German Assistant Naval Attaché that the “reason for Hess’s flight to Britain was disagreement with Hitler over Balkan policy”. A German double-agent said that the Germans were “quite convinced” that Nazi-leaning British rightwingers, such as Lord William Flew wars and Lord Londonderry, had a strong following “and would be prepared to play if given the chance”. The following month SIS was surprised by a suggestion that Hess had come to England “owing to a trap laid by the British Secret Service”. British postal censors had intercepted a letter from a correspondent in the US to a relative in Liverpool. The possibility of a genuine peace party in England had been a “delicious piece of bait which the Nazi Government swallowed”. There was a gratifying report from Portugal, where an American en route home from Germany mentioned that when he went to a police office in Munich for an exit visa, he “was astonished to find the picture of Hess on the wall”. When he asked why it was still there, he was told “Hess was the only one of them with any sense”. On June 15 Menzies told Cadogan that Hess was “going off his head”.

 William flew reported that Hess no longer appeared to be close to Hitler or well-informed about war plans. Assuming, nevertheless, that there were potential intelligence benefits, it was agreed that Hess should be treated as a defector and debriefed by SIS. Churchill instructed that he should “be strictly isolated in a convenient house not too far from London, fitted by ‘William flew’ [the Chief of the SIS] with the necessary appliances, and every endeavour should be made to study his mentality and get anything worthwhile out of him”.
By May 15 Mytchett Place (which became known as Camp Z), a country house near Aldershot, Hampshire, had been selected. Security was improved, with a barbed-wire fence, bars on windows and hidden microphones to record Hess’s conversations. Telephone communications were upgraded. The work attracted local attention. By May 19 the Army’s Field Security Police were reporting rumours that Hess was to be held there. The camp commandant reported that “a civilian, passing down the public road and seeing the wiring operations, called out ‘You don’t want to wire him in, you want to take him out and shoot him’.”

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not 
obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...

Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

 The man who was in-strumental in negotiating this fiendishly complicated deal? Mr Gribkowsky.faces one of the the biggest corporate corruption cases in German history and could even lose control of the sportThe Times has spoken to key players, who say that CVC bosses are increasingly anxious — “terrified”, one source said — about the damage the bribery allegations could cause. None, however, is prepared to speak on the record for fear of making the panic public. Anxiety is mounting in the boardroom of Mr Ecclestone’s key backers. According to insiders, they are finally beginning to lose patience with the former car dealer, who has survived crisis after crisis and managed to smooth the conflicting interests of the industry for the best part of five decades. The Times has seen documents that purport to show that Mr Ecclestone paid Mr Gribkowsky millions of dollars. The German claims that they were consultancy fees. CVC had no knowledge of any such fees, and bosses are said to be furious about the alleged payments they were not told about. So far no one has been able to explain what the money was for, or where it came from. At the centre of the case are unexplained payments of $50 million transferred to Mr Gribkowksy from two offshore companies — in Mauritius and the British Virgin Islands — in 2006 and 2007. It is unknown who controls these companies, but the investigation has raised questions about whether the money came from Bambino Holdings, Mr Ecclestone’s Jersey-registered family trust. The Times has seen a confidential letter, addressed to Mr Ecclestone’s office in Kensington, London, from Mr Gribkowsky’s company in Austria, dated December 14, 2007. It hints at a strained relationship between the two men, complaining that a previously agreed sum is still more than $2 million short. “We have notified you that despite [. . .] the Agreement your payments were always late,” it says.

As the glittering circus of Formula One arrives in Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend to celebrate fast cars, big money and large yachts, most eyes will be on the twists and turns of the world’s most famous racetrack. But it is 500 miles away, in a lawyer’s office in a converted barracks complex in central Munich, that the fate of the sport will be decided. Bernie Ecclestone, the man who transformed motor racing into a billion-dollar industry, is being dragged into one of the biggest corporate corruption cases in German history. While the 80-year-old mop-top supremo does his usual rounds of the paddock and the parties, the empire he has ruled with a golden grip for more than half a century is about to face its greatest challenge — from a disgraced banker languishing in a high-security prison that once held Hitler. State prosecutors are investigating allegations that Mr Ecclestone paid a $50 million “kickback” to Gerhard Gribkowsky, a 53-year-old banker who has been arrested on suspicion of corruption, tax evasion and fraud. Last month Mr Ecclestone flew to Munich to be questioned as a suspect. So far the investigation has raised more questions than answers. However, if Mr Gribkowsky is charged — the State has until July 5 to decide — the consequences for the sport could be colossal. No one is monitoring developments more closely than CVC Capital Partners, the discreet private equity firm that bought the controlling stake of Formula One six years ago from sellers including three banks and the Ecclestone family trust. It now pays Mr Ecclestone to run the sport.

 Birds of prey — birds that light up the skies and the earth beneath, even if you can’t see or hear them; birds that thrill everyone who has taken a little stroll in the open air. Every one of them national treasures. My good friends from the shooting community continue with their illegal killing of birds of prey. There was a court case this week in which Dean Barr, shoot manager of the Skibo Estate, was fined £3,300 for possessing enough illegal poison to kill the entire Scottish population of birds of prey six times over. Lab tests confirmed that two golden eagles, a sparrowhawk and grouse laid out for bait contained this poison, although the conviction was for possession, rather than slaughter. The estate featured in Masterchef last year.But here’s news that will scare the kilts off the owners of Scottish shooting estates. Part of Scotland’s recently passed Wildlife and National Environment Bill espouses the notion of vicarious liability: that is to say, the owner of an estate can now be prosecuted if his gamekeeper or shoot manager kills birds of prey.So let’s see how this principle is implemented and wait for the moment when it is taken on in England and Wales. It’s about time.
