Beginning in the 1930s and moving into the post millennium, this book provides a historical analysis of the policies and practices established by the BBC as it attempted to assist white Britons in adjusting to the presence of African-Caribbeans. Among the themes the book explores are current representations of race, the future of British television and its impact on multi-ethnic audiences. The chapters include an extensive analysis of television programming, along with personal interviews that reveal the efforts of black Britons working for the BBC, whether as writers, producers or actors.
"I am the spirit of such a woman who lived with Walker..."21 December 1630. Midnight. An old miller prepares to finish his work in a corn mill in the hamlet of Lumley, in the County of Durham. Suddenly he hears movement on the floor below him, and as he takes a flaming candle and descends the stairs, he is shocked to discover "... a woman standing upon the midst of the floor with her hair about her head hanging down and all bloody, with five large wounds on her head..." This was the scene for Northern England's most singular and legendary Christmas ghost story. Then another tale, set in the 19th Century, was told in the press of a mysterious haunting that was occurring in the old mill house at Willington Quay, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The two narratives, seemingly dissimilar to each other, had captured the imagination of many historians and ghost hunters for years, and still do to this very day. Now it is time that the two are threaded together, in one of the most true and horrifying experience of a ghostly encounter, related through the miller and the apparition of the murdered woman, like never before...
Revelations given to the 14th Century mystic, St Bridget of Sweden by God, the Virgin Mary, and various saints relating to apostasy and Church reform, as well as commentary by saints and others relating to our present time of widespread apostasy. Some of the Revelations are very startling, especially those relating to unfaithful bishops, priests, and religious, but also the laity as well, and the punishments that await them if they do not repent and amend their lives. The specially chosen revelations in this book, taken from the many St Bridget received, have great pertinence for today, as we also in our post-Vatican II age of widespread apostasy among Catholics, beginning with the clergy, need to hear these important messages, for when the Church, "the salt of the earth...loses its savor, it is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." (Mt 5:13) There is much spiritual and moral counsel in these heavenly revelations so as to help the reader to know how to live a life pleasing to Our Lord.(The Kindle edition of this book by Bro. Sean Wright is a shorter edition written earlier by me which was published by someone else without my permission. I asked Amazon to remove it but they haven't yet.)
