[BREXIT]: BRITISH POLITICS: A good multiple signed First Day Cover issued to commemorate the Direct Elections to European Parliament and featuring an attractive colour design incorporating images of the Palais de l'Europe at Strasbourg and the Palace of Westminster in London, bearing four different British postage stamps honouring the European Assembly Elections and post marked at London for the first British European Parliamentary Elections, 9th May 1979. The cover is individually signed by fourteen British political figures, five of them former Prime Ministers, comprising - Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013) British Prime Minister 1979-90 who, despite her views on the European Community, initiated Great Britain's membership of the European Union by reluctantly joining the Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1990. John Major (1943- ) British Prime Minister 1990-97 who, on taking office, had promised to keep Great Britain 'at the very heart of Europe' and claimed to have won 'game, set and match for Britain' by negotiating various opt-outs from the Maastricht Treaty (1992). Tony Blair (1953- ) British Prime Minister 1997-2007 who won a landslide victory with his 'New Labour' party in 1997, aided by the unpopularity of Major's conservative government (itself deeply divided over the European Union). Gordon Brown (1951- ) British Prime Minister 2007-10 who, in 1997, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, had taken control of the United Kingdom's membership of the European single currency issue by announcing the Treasury would set five economic tests to ascertain whether the economic case had been made. In 2003 the Treasury indicated the tests had not been passed. David Cameron (1966- ) British Prime Minister 2010-16 who introduced a referendum on the United Kingdom's continuing membership of the European Union. In the referendum of 23rd June 2016 the British electorate voted in favour of leaving the European Union ('Brexit') and in the wake of the results Cameron announced his intention to resign as Prime Minister. William Hague (1961- ) British Politician, Leader of the Conservative Party 1997-2001. Hague led the Conservatives to a successful result at the European parliamentary elections in June 1999 and his opposition to the single European currency was later vindicated by Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown's adoption and subsequent approval of the policy. Iain Duncan Smith (1954- ) British Politician, Leader of the Conservative Party 2001-03. A committed Eurosceptic, Duncan Smith was a constant thorn in the side of Prime Minister John Major's government from 1992-97, opposing Major's pro-European agenda. Michael Howard (1941- ) British Politician, Leader of the Conservative Party 2003-05. In the 1970s Howard was a leading advocate of British membership of the Common Market (EEC) but later in his career became a Eurosceptic. Neil Kinnock (1942- ) British Politician, Leader of the Labour Party 1983-92. Kinnock accepted membership in the European Community, whereas the Labour Party had pledged withdrawal from it under former leader Michael Foot. Kinnock went on to become a European Commissioner and served as Vice-President of the European Commission from 1999-2004. David Steel (1938- ) British Politician, Leader of the Liberal Party 1976-88 and of the Liberal Democrats March-July 1988. In 1989 Steel accepted an invitation from the Italian Liberals to stand for the European Parliament as a Pan-European gesture. Although not elected, he polled very well. Paddy Ashdown (1941- ) British Politician, Leader of the Liberal Democrats 1988-99. In July 2016 he founded More United in response to the result of the referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union. Charles Kennedy (1959-2015) British Politician, Leader of the Liberal Democrats 1999-2006. On constitutional reform Kennedy was a long-term supporter of full home rule for Scotland within a federal United Kingdom within a federal Europe. Menzies Campbell (1941- ) British Politician, Leader of the Liberal Democrats 2006-07. Campbell has been a supporter of the European Union, but argued that it must reform to become more democratic. Nick Clegg (1967- ) British Politician, Leader of the Liberal Democrats 2007-15. Deputy Prime Minister in the Cameron coalition ministry 2010-15. A former member of the European Parliament, Charles Kennedy promoted Clegg to be the Liberal Democrat's spokesperson on Europe, focusing on the party's preparations for an expected referendum on the European constitution. All have signed the cover in different coloured inks, each with their names alone and to clear areas. An unusual selection of signatures by various British politicians, all of whom have had, to a greater or lesser extent, an influence on the United Kingdom's role within Europe from 1979 to the present day. A couple of very slight, minor corner creases, VG In June 2016, the British electorate participated in a referendum in which 52% of votes were cast in favour of leaving the European Union. Although the United Kingdom currently remains a full member of the EU, the present Prime Minister Theresa May has indicated that she will invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, the formal procedure for withdrawing, by the end of March 2017, putting the United Kingdom on course to leave the EU by the end of March 2019.

HEMINGWAY ERNEST: (1899-1961) American Novelist, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1954. 'What the hell is angling anyway?'.A.L.S., Ernesto, four pages, 4to, Key West, 31st March 1936, to Erl Rowan of the Miami Herald. Hemingway states that he was glad to hear from his correspondent, but was sorry not to be present at a committee meeting, explaining 'Was over my head in work. Am behind on my book and working to a deadline…' and continuing 'Suppose you saw what I wrote Mrs. [Oliver C.] Grinnell about the broadbill harpooning and that's why you sent the clipping….Listen, kid, I had not seen one single comment on C. B. Millers speech when [I] wrote Mrs. G. nor have seen any. We don't get columns here. Sorry he ratted on you. That was lousy. I have no ax (sic) to grind in this, except possibly that have found plenty of pro fishermen as good or better fellows than amateurs'. Hemingway also questions his correspondent's statistics, remarking '1929 was a wonderful broadbill year. 1934 pitiful…3 only caught on rod and reel that year! So you can ignore 1935 as a good year in your American production and crash down on us with 1935 Canadian production. Always more broadbill off Nova Scotia anyway than off U.S.' and continues to enquire 'Erl, tell me, what are you shooting for? Who is this C.B. Miller? Why should you bat for him? Probably he is a marvellous fellow but you and I know broadbill, marlin and tuna run in cycles. When they are thick they are cheap. When they are scarce they bring plenty in from outside but why not tax the imported fish and not throw even 1200 good swordfishermen out of work so rich pricks can pass baits to them….I am for making a living and for sport for the rich man and the poor man, and especially the poor man and against all class legislation. It is better that every rich man should have to go up to New Brunswick and learn to cast a salmon fly properly and pay for his fishing or rent a good trout stream or go out and find new ocean fishing (there is a world of it to fish) than that one single poor man should be deprived of the livelihood that the sea has brought and that he has learned to take since over a hundred years. That's where I stand'. The writer further adds 'If you want to publish this [I] would be delighted. In my remarks about the broadbill figures (and I think they may be just) simply…say choosing your yearly figures' and poses the question 'What the hell is angling anyway? You don't make the living you should recording it. We all go broke doing it. It was designed to be done for fun. But the fish should not be wasted! Everyone should be allowed to practice it according to their own standards so long as the supply of fish is preserved.' Hemingway concludes 'Cuba, where I get completely accurate figures, has had lousy marlin figures for 2 years. Next year may be a better one than the great 1933 - or the 1927 or 1929 - In one year I caught 54 in another 17. Should I blame commercial slaughter? In 1929 I might have caught 154. They were that thick. Anyway good luck to you always. I certainly appreciate all you do and the work you put into it. You are a damned fine sportsman. But don't let politicians suck you in - But of course you won't. Have been working like hell'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Hemingway, marked 'Personal', and signed ('E. Hemingway') by him in the return address. A letter of good content relating to one of Hemingway's great passions. VG Mrs. Oliver C. 'Bill' Grinnell - Author of American Big Game Fishing (1935) in collaboration with Lynn Bogue Hunt and Ernest Hemingway. Grinnell's introduction to the book and the charts provided within it explain that the fishing records started in the 1930s (the period when Hemingway began big game fishing, inspired by the Cuban fishermen who had been towed for two days by a giant marlin) were inaccurate on the subject of size. Her description of fishing for big game also contains many elements found in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea (1952) - the beauty of the ocean and marine life in particular. Hemingway's economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.
