This open access book examines the rules shaping British political entertainment. Satire is a powerful tool for exposing political hypocrisy. It can be offensive and provocative, sparking debates about the limits of freedom of expression and the harm in humour. The book focuses on broadcasting restrictions born from the quaintly named rules on taste and decency, and impartiality, assessing the potential damage to democracy when rules are misinterpreted. In examining the historical and legal context, it traces how regulatory frameworks have evolved and impacted on the creative industries. Through interviews with industry professionals including comedians, writers, and executive producers, the book challenges the idea that regulation dictates editorial choices and creates a cancel culture. It reveals how broadcast practitioners decide the ethical and legal limits of offensive humour, and how the misinterpretation of the impartiality requirement can undermine satire’s role. Performers and writers discuss how self-censorship, and social pressures influence what we see and hear in the media. Much of British political satire has been "smoothed out” due to fears of offending audiences or because of a timid approach to programme making. This has left the audience unchallenged, uninformed, and politically disengaged. The book argues for a policy change to broadcast regulation. The impartiality requirement should be dropped for satire, and broadcasters should be more robust in defending their output. This book is essential reading for policy makers, lawyers, and both media students and academics keen to understand the editorial process and the effect of ‘cancel culture’.

As the Cold War thriller progresses, Max finds herself in increasing danger, but three weeks after the events of Cold Crash, the point at which The Running Lie begins, Max has found an archaeological dig in London and John Knox has entered her life. But even now, can he be trusted? Max encounters both skulls and sexism on the dig site at the bombed out shell of St. Bride's Church in London. A family request sends her to the Berlin International Film Festival, away from the dig and her growing relationship with John Knox.

For archaeologist Maxine 'Max' Falkland, life in early-50s London is difficult enough as she tries to move on from the death of her brother, an RAF pilot shot down over Korea. But, when she meets John Knox things get more complicated, before they get outright dangerous. Flying her light plane to Scotland, Max overhears whispered arguments in Russian coming from the next-door room and sees lights across the moors that appear to answer flashes from the sea. Add the mysterious malfunction of her plane and she has a lot to confide when she encounters the enigmatic Richard Ash, a local landowner and recluse. But when Knox unexpectedly reappears and a dive goes disastrously wrong, Max must act fast as she finds herself in the middle of a Soviet military plot. An accomplished debut novel from a US voice writing in the UK, Cold Crash is fast-paced with enthralling characters and perfect detail.

Rhetoric, Embodiment, and the Ethos of Surveillance: Student Bodies in the American High School investigates the rhetorical tension between controlling student bodies and educating student minds. The book is a rhetorical analysis of the policies and procedures that govern life in contemporary American high schools; it also discusses the rhetorical effects of high-security, high-surveillance school buildings. It uncovers various metaphors that emerge from a close reading of the system, such as students’ claims that “school is a prison.” Jennifer Young concludes that many of the policies governing contemporary American high schools have come to rhetorically operate as a “discourse of default” that works against the highest aims of education, and she offers a method of effecting a cultural shift for going forward. Specifically, Young calls for an explicit application of intentional rhetoric to match discourse to audience and suggests that the development of empathy as a core value within the high school might be more effective in keeping students safe than the architectural and technological approaches we currently employ.
