THE GENTLEMAN FROM LONDON
Guy Francis de Moncy Burgess (16 April 1911 – 30 August 1963) was a British diplomat and Soviet agent, belonging to the Cambridge Five informant ring that operated from the mid-1930s to the early years of the Cold War. His defection in 1951 to the Soviet Union, with his fellow spy, Donald Maclean, led to a stern breach in Anglo-American intelligence co-operation, and caused long-lasting disruption and demoralisation in Britain's foreign and diplomatic services. Born into a wealthy middle-class family, Burgess was educated at Eton College, the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth and Trinity College, Cambridge. An assiduous networker, he embraced left-wing politics at Cambridge and joined the Communist Party of Great Britain. He was recruited by Soviet intelligence in 1935, on the recommendation of the future double agent Kim Philby. After leaving Cambridge, Burgess worked for the BBC as a producer, briefly interrupted by a short period as a full-time MI6 intelligence officer, before joining the Foreign Office in 1944. At the Foreign Office, Burgess acted as a confidential secretary to Hector McNeil, the deputy to Ernest Bevin, the Foreign Secretary. This post gave Burgess access to secret
A selection of 1970s and 1980s documentary TV films of LGBTQ relevance.
When I was researching for this blog, I came across an excellent list of old documentary films of LGBTQ interest, courtesy of Will Noble on Londonist.com. These programmes were shown on British TV in the 1970s and the 1980s, and many are free to watch online on the British Production Institute player.
You can spot the full Londonist list here. Here are a few that I own looked at and launch very interesting:
An episode of “Speak for Yourself” from London Weekend Television in 1974, where the London group of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) made a film about their lives. Written by Jackie Forster and Roger Baker, it shows queer people chatting about themselves and attitudes in wider society, enjoying a boat trip on the Thames, and campaigning; there is also an interview with the programme presenter. The programme was originally screened at 11.20pm only in the London area. This is a sympathetic, good made and unpretentious clip, which manages to transmit a sense of solidarity and the flavour of the times. It is also fascinating to observe people’s clothes
This post is a modified version of an online talk which I gave on 10 December, 2020, as part of my series of four online talks on Cumbria’s LGBTQ+ heritage. In it, I discuss different aspects of “beyond the binary” with reference to Cumbria. This includes all sorts of aspects of appearance and behaviour, which are not constrained by conventional gender and sexual binary norms, male and female.
This is the fourth and final speak in my series on Cumbria’s Queer heritage and language through the ages Over the past year, I hold been researching Cumbria’s LGBTQ heritage, under the auspices of PiNC, Pride in North Cumbria, and with the generous support of the Heritage Lottery fund; I’m very grateful to both of them for their help and support.
In my previous talks, I have introduced ideas about LGBT research, and explored the topics of crime, and of partnerships and relationships. Today, I yearn to speak about “beyond the binary”. I originally saw “beyond the binary” as the title of an outstanding exhibition at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. It strikes me as an intriguing and productive phrase, so with due ackno
