JRR Tolkien The Hobbit Lord of the Rings letter exhibition Morgan Silmarillion side projects - Duration: 18:08.

In a 1937 letter to an Oxford colleague, Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien confessed that he didn't much care for The Hobbit, one of his already popular works that was about to go into its second printing

He wrote: 'I don't much approve of The Hobbit myself, prefering my own mythology (which is just touched on) with its consistent nomenclature

and organized history, to this rabble of Eddaic-named dwarves out of Voluspa, newfangled hobbits and gollums (invented in an idle hour) and Anglo-Saxon runes

' That manuscript letter is on display now at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, where an exhibit on J

R.R.Tolkien, the author, artist and scholar opened on January 25.Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth, which will run until May 12 is split into six sections, covering Tolkien's background, family, art and of course the writings he is most famous for: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion

Just as readers enter Middle-earth through a 'perfectly round door like a porthole' in The Hobbit, so visitors enter the Morgan's Tolkien exhibit through a circular entryway with an enlarged watercolor by Tolkien himself of 'Hobbiton-across-the-water' to greet them

The walls of the 117-item exhibit are brightly colored by section, with other magnified watercolors filling the walls, alongside their smaller, original versions, detailed maps, intricate doodles and drawings, manuscripts and family photographs

Around a corner from the main portion of the exhibit, in the section dedicated to The Hobbit, is Tolkien's letter to Geoffrey Selby where the author admits he doesn't care much for his children's book

The Morgan Library purchased the letter in the mid-80s along with their first edition of The Hobbit, according to Associate Curator of the Printed Books and Bindings Department John McQuillen

'For him, The Silmarillion, the history of the elves, was always the most important work,' McQuillen tells DailyMail

com.'The Hobbit was a side project, a story he told to his kids that was for them

It was only later that it finally was published.And The Lord of the Rings also is a publication demand

It's not anything he actually wanted to do.'But The Silmarillion was always his heart

The creation of the elvish languages, the history of the elves, it was always a major disappointment in his life that that was never published in his lifetime, because The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were complete side projects

So he's referring to that in this letter.He doesn't really care much for this work

It's not what he considered his most important thing.' John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa

His parents, Arthur Reuel Tolkien and Mabel Suffield, moved to South Africa in the 1890s in hopes of better job opportunities for his father, who was a banker

In February 1896, Arthur died, so Tolkien's mother took Tolkien and his younger brother Hilary back to England, just outside Birmingham

Mabel died from diabetes in 1904, leaving 12-year-old Tolkien and 10-year-old Hilary orphaned and in the care of first the parish Catholic priest, then their aunt and finally the boarding house of a Mrs

Faulkner.It was there that Tolkien met a young woman named Edith Bratt, also an orphan

When they met he was 16 and she 19 and their friendship quickly grew into something more, but he was forbidden by his priest to marry her until he had at least turned 21

He studied at Exeter College, Oxford starting in the fall of 1911 and at first studied Classics, though switched to English Language and Literature for his knack of linguistics and philology, the study of literary texts and written records

When the First World War broke out in 1914, Tolkien continued his undergraduate degree until he completed it in 1915, after which he enlisted as a second lieutenant

He was on active duty at the Somme until he developed a typus-like infection and was sent back to England

After the war ended, Tolkien got a job working on the Oxford English Dictionary, where he worked until he was appointed as an associate professor of English Language at the University of Leeds in 1920, where he worked on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

In 1925 he applied to be a professor at Oxford and got the position.Though he didn't have many scholarly publications, the ones he did have were influential, particularly his work on Beowulf

Tolkien retired from Oxford in 1959.Tolkien and his wife Edith had four children: John Francis Reuel (1917), Michael Hilary Reuel (1920), Christopher Reuel (1924) and Priscilla (1929)

Tolkien was also part of a group of friends known as 'The Inklings', alongside C.S

Lewis.Throughout his lifetime, starting with developing his own languages as a boy and writing poems as an undergraduate, Tolkien created and built Middle-earth, where his famous works The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954 and 1955) take place, though his preferred work was his Legendarium, the history of Middle-earth

Tolkien passed away in 1973, two years after his wife Edith died.The couple are buried in an Oxford suburb in the Catholic section of the Wolvercote cemetery, according to the Tolkien Society

McQuillen curated the Tolkien exhibit at the Morgan Library, the largest Tolkien collection assembled in the United States, organized in partnership with the Bodleian Libraries of Oxford University, which displayed the exhibit in a larger format, with 200 objects, in Oxford last year

'A lot of the material kind of focuses on his process of creation, how the stories sort of shifted while he was writing them,' McQuillen says

'[Tolkien's work] wasn't ever planned out from the beginning.His process of creation and writing was not having the end-goal in mind, but as he called it, more sort of discovery

Characters would come around a corner whom he hadn't met yet.'It's a very different sort of authorial process than I think most… How the stories developed, how characters changed as he wrote, I think will be interesting for a lot of people to understand and learn about

' Tolkien's letter to Selby is one of two pieces specific to the Morgan's exhibit that were not on show at the Bodleian

The other piece, from a private collection, is a seven-page letter from Tolkien to Naomi Mitchison, a children's author who was reviewing The Lord of the Rings before writing a blurb for the dust jacket

She had written to Tolkien asking him questions about the languages, history and people in The Fellowship of the Ring, so he wrote back with some of the information that would later go into the appendices of The Return of the King and the complete work

'It's nice to sort of include that with all The Lord of the Rings material so you can see how he's thinking about the entire three volumes as one entire story and how the whole relates to the different parts,' McQuillen says

This is also the first time his letter to Mitchison has been put on display for the public, though the words of the letter have been included in collections of Tolkien's correspondences before

Though the Morgan's exhibit had to be made slightly smaller than the Bodleian's because of limited space, McQuillen says he didn't cut anything from the sections dedicated to The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion, because he 'knew those would be the most popular, where most of the interest was going to be'

What was more difficult was deciding how best to show the rest of who Tolkien was

McQuillen, whose background is in medieval studies, is a fan of Tolkien's academic work in Old English literature and Medieval English literature

However, he decided it was more important to paint a picture of Tolkien's background and familial influences instead of focusing on his academic successes

'I think it's very important to know who he was, particularly [because] there's always so much speculation and talk that like, oh, you know, Mordor and Sauron are kind of like pulled out of his experiences during World War I and there's so much argued about biography in the story, even though Tolkien never really stated that it was, except that the Shire is sort of the English countryside where he grew up, that very idyllic, rural landscape

'Wanting to show the roots of where he came from still gives you a little sense of who the man was, what developed his love of nature when he was young

His love for Edith Bratt whom he married inspired the tale of Beren and Luthien in The Silmarillion and their great love

So there's so much of his personal life that's related to the stories and not a direct antecedent

' Some of the most touching items in the exhibit are in the Home and Family section, where letters and watercolors he made for his four children as Father Christmas are on display

'It shows how completely… involved he was in his children's lives,' McQuillen says

There is also a small ink drawing of an owl Tolkien made for his son Michael, who had been having nightmares about a large owl in his bedroom

According to the exhibit, Michael later said his father was 'both father and friend, 'a unique adult, the only 'grown-up' who appeared to take my childish comments and questions with complete seriousness

' The exhibit also displays Tolkien's map he created and used for The Lord of the Rings

It is well-worn and folded, taped together in multiple places with a few spots where paper was taped over to correct something beneath

'It's pieces of paper that are taped together into this sort of strange geometric puzzle, but you can see how sort of Middle-earth grew as Tolkien's story grew, as he sketches out the landscape,' McQuillen says

'He always said that he began the stories with a map because he needed to know the geography, the place of where the action was taking place

You don't just start writing with nothing.' Another fascinating piece is a poem beside a watercolor from 1915, when Tolkien was an undergraduate, on display in the last section about The Silmarillion

'It's sort of the first text about Middle-earth and drawing he really intentionally ever made

So it really is sort of the starting point for all of this… early conception of the building of The Silmarillion,' McQuillen says

'I just think it's so rare for an author and an artist – you so rarely have… [their] first thing

This is the moment of birth for all of this.And the fact that it's in a little notebook, the poem is on the left, the drawing is on the right

It's clear from the beginning for Tolkien that textual and visual production go hand in hand and are completely equal in the creation of Middle-earth

It's a nice little moment to see.' As the organizing curator of Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth, McQuillen says he hopes people will come into the exhibit and learn more about who Tolkien was as a person and his artistic process

[It's] important to show everything, all of the work that went into his literary production and his life, being able to really showcase both sides of who he was a father, husband, author, artist, professor

' 'The show is a little bit more about the man and his process.It's not about the minutiae of plot points and what are the stories

It's the background and the creation of the stories.'

Piers Morgan vows to LEAVE Good Morning Britain - but there's a catch - Duration: 2:28.

 Piers Morgan has vowed to quit the show for two weeks so he can go on a US road trip

 The 53-year-old heard Richard Arnold's suggestion that the pair go for a road trip in Texas, and it seemed to entice him to abandon his spot on the show

 Piers replied: "I'm going to Texas in two weeks but I'm not going to a rodeo with you

"  Susanna Reid tried to understand whether Piers was really going on holiday, and he sady replied he would be leaving her for some time while he travels around the country

Piers Morgan and Carol Vorderman raise eyebrows with flirting: 'You know you want me' - Duration: 3:58.

 The pair raised eyebrows as they exchanged flirty messages on Twitter today. Things began when Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold showed off a Piers Morgan face 'tattoo' on the ITV show today (which luckily wasn't real)

 He got this after New Zealand singer Kelsey Karter got an inking of Harry Styles on her face

 Loving the hijinks, Carol Vorderman went on Twitter to write: "Morning all, enjoying GMB this morning

Loving the Piers Morgan tattoo. Let me order one immediately, umm maybe not. I'm more a Richard Arnold girl myself

" Related Articles GMB babe Kate Garraway teases ample assets in slinky camisole GMB guest calls Piers Morgan a 'honey-glazed gammon' in SAVAGE Winston Churchill spat Lorraine Kelly says singer's Harry Styles face tattoo 'is like a disfigurement'  She then showed off her own questionable inking in a throwback picture

 The former Countdown star was seen rocking a heart tattoo, emblazoned with the word 'Sums'

 Carol added: "I've been hiding this one for years. Lol. "Sums" or ⁦Piers Morgan tattoo? Sums for me every time

" Piers, 53, then bantered back: "You know you want one Vorders," to which she responded: "How many times do I have to tell you Piers? I don't want you anywhere near my bod

not even in ink form, lol," followed by a kissing emoji.    He then chimed back: "Me think the lady doth protest too much

" Piers then referenced the conversation on GMB. However, he made things even more steamy as he wrongly said: "She doesn't want any part of my body near her

" Ohh-er. Fans were cringing over the exchange, with one Twitter user writing: "Watching Piers Morgan and Carol Vorderman flirt is a little like seeing your parents kiss

It's adorable, but part of you wants to hide behind the sofa and pretend you didn't see it

All your indignant huffing and puffing on Twitter can't change the cold, hard, undeniable fact that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi played you like a chump last week and forced you into a humiliating climb-down over the government shutdown

She kept saying she wasn't going to give you any money for your Wall, you kept saying you weren't going to re-open the government unless she did – and she won: you re-opened it with no Wall money

So stop with the phony protestations.When even ferocious media allies like Fox News hosts, the Drudge Report and Breitbart all say you took a drubbing, just admit you took a drubbing

There's an important reason for doing this: you've only lost a battle, not the war

And if you play your next cards right, or should I say 'better', you can still end up with a big win – for you, and America

But play them wrong again, and you risk betraying your base, making yourself an impotent slave to the Democrats, and getting an irreparable beating in the forthcoming 2020 election

Make no mistake - this is your defining moment in office since you won the White House

The Wall is your signature policy; it was the central plank of your entire 2016 election campaign, the thing you mentioned most, the thing that resonated strongest with your voters, and the thing, more than any other, that got you elected

You have to deliver on The Wall, or all your bold boasts about being a President who does what he promised will crash and burn

Already, conservative media pundit Ann Coulter, formally one of your biggest supporters, has lacerated you for what she says is a gutless surrender

'Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush, she scathingly tweeted, when news of your climb-down broke

'As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States

' Mike Cernovich, another hitherto hugely supportive right-wing personality, went even harder, saying: 'Trump is a broken man, it's over for him

' You've proven yourself extraordinarily capable of surviving almost anything thrown at you, Donald, but to be perceived as a weak, broken wimp by your own fans is surely the worst possible slur for a President whose whole image is based around being a strong, tough, unbending leader? Battered, yes

Bruised, definitely.But not broken.As Republican talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh rightly observed: 'We'll just have to see what happens in the next three weeks

' It may well turn out to be the 21 days that define your presidency.Right now, you're dangling over a cliff, clinging on for dear life, and Ms Pelosi is champing at the bit to trample on your fingers and make you fall into the political abyss

Your poll numbers have taken a massive hit in the past five weeks - as low as 37% - as many more Americans blamed you more than the Democrats for a 35-day shutdown that led to you winning absolutely nothing

Be under no illusion what the real narrative is here: you caved.Indeed, New York magazine revealed reporters have used the word 'cave' so often about your actions that Merriam-Webster dictionary reported a 1500% increase in searches for the word! A second lengthy shutdown starting in three weeks would be even more disastrous for you – especially if it ended in more failure

So the big question now is how do you avoid Nancy Pelosi's high heels slicing into your cliff-dangling hands? You may not want to hear my answer, but it's the right one

The best leaders understand the power of a carrot and stick strategy when it comes to getting what they want

You, as the whole world knows, want your Wall – about which there is so much hypocrisy

There is already 700 miles of border fencing and security along the southern border, erected in the past 15 years with full support of most of your most vociferous Wall opponents

For all intents and purposes, it's a wall.You just want to extend it, and make it even more secure

And the money you've asked for - $5.7billion - is a relative pittance.But the political significance of getting the Wall funded is now enormous, and from the moment you lost control of the House in the mid-terms last November, you lost your real power to drive through that funding

Therefore, you have to give the Democrats something they badly want too, or you can kiss goodbye to the most famous and divisive election pledge in history – and quite possibly your chances of re-election too

What the Democrats want in return is permanent legal status for those undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children – known as Dreamers - and an eventual path to citizenship

You know how passionately Pelosi feels about this because she recently spent a staggering eight hours on the floor of the House talking about it

You also know that Pelosi is not as ideologically opposed to the Wall as she now claims to be

Indeed, she's on the record as saying: 'All of us agree that we need to have comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform

That can only begin with strong border control.We must have that.We must control our borders

' So there's actually a relatively easy deal to be done if you can both park your bitter partisan enmity to one side and put America's national interest first

It's not that contentious, even within your own party.Most Americans – 87% in a CBS poll - support the idea of permanent legal status for Dreamers

And most Americans – 76% of voters in a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, including 63% of Republicans - support the idea of giving the Dreamers a path to full citizenship

In short most Americans have a heart about this issue.They don't like the idea of illegal immigrants pouring over the border into America, but nor do they like the idea of deporting or stigmatising people who were brought illegally into America as kids through no fault or choice of their own, and have made their homes and lives in the U

S.The vast majority of Americans (82%) also believe immigration has generally been a good and not bad thing for America

I believe that in YOUR heart, Mr President, you agree with most Americans.I don't believe you have any beef with legal immigrants – you're married to one! - or with those who were brought illegally to the U

S.as children.I believe your beef is with those who still seek to enter America illegally, some of whom want to cause terrible harm to the country with drugs, terrorism or gang violence

When you enforced a brutal child separation policy on the border last year, it was the lowest moment of your tenure

Now you have a chance to repair some of the damage of that heartless fiasco and do the right thing with a move that could be the highest moment of your tenure

You can do a deal that protects those undocumented immigrants already in the US who deserve protection, and that helps those Dreamers become fully-fledged Americans

And at the same time, a deal that protects all Americans, with enhanced security across a border that is still being illegally crossed way too often for nefarious reasons

Mr President, you once told me your life philosophy was this: 'You've gotta win.That's what it's all about

Muhammad Ali used to talk and talk, but he won.If you talk and talk, but you lose, the act doesn't play

' Ali didn't just win in the ring, but in people's hearts and minds too.This is your chance to go from chump to champion

Scottish politician, 24 in Winston Churchill GMB row with Piers Morgan - Duration: 30:22.

Piers Morgan has savaged a Scottish politician in a furious TV debate after he described Sir Winston Churchill as a 'white supremacist mass murderer'

   The Good Morning Britain host, 53, told Scottish Greens MSP Ross Greer, 24: 'If it wasn't for Winston Churchill you would be speaking German and goose-stepping your way to Holyrood

'Piers branded Mr Greer a 'nasty, sneering young man' and accused him of offering 'no balance, perspective or any sense that what Winston Churchill did for this country was good

'In response the young MSP said Piers's version of events were 'wildly ahistorical'

When the presenter blasted him on a point about the Bengali famine, Mr Greer said: 'You're getting into a tantrum Piers, that's very snowflake of you

'    RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next 'You're a thick ginger turd': Piers Morgan blasts Scotland's

PIERS MORGAN: Pelosi's played you for a chump, President. Share this article Share Mr Greer, Europe spokesman for the Scottish Greens, sparked outrage with his Twitter rant about Britain's great wartime Prime Minister on January 25

  His controversial tweet generated thousands of responses, including several from Piers Morgan who branded him a 'thick ginger turd'

After a heated exchange Piers challenged Mr Greer to a TV debate. Speaking on the show this morning, he demanded to know why Mr Greer had written the inflammatory tweet

Mr Greer said Churchill was a 'racist because he hated Indians with a passion and branded them a beastly people with a beastly religion'

He also claimed the former PM 'advocated using poison gas against uncivilised tribes in Africa' as well as using hateful rhetoric against people in Afghanistan and Kurdistan

  But when he accused the late, great Churchill of being 'responsible for the Bengali famine of 1943', Piers was unable to control his emotions

He said: 'That is a complete and utter lie. 'In the middle of the Second World War Churchill is seen in the papers to be very concerned about the famine in Bengal, going to Canada, Australia and Franklin D

Roosevelt in America, beseeching world leaders to help the Bengalis.'What you're saying isn't just offensive, it's a downright lie

'I get enraged by this, because if it wasn't for Winston Churchill you would be speaking German and goose-stepping your way to Holyrood

'Mr Greer was responding to a Conservative party tweet from January 24 marking the anniversary of Churchill's death calling him 'the greatest Briton to have ever lived'

 Greer, who at 24 is Scotland's youngest MSP, was accused of 'attention seeking' after saying: 'Once again for the old people at the back: Churchill was a white supremacist mass murderer'

    He caused further controversy by describing anyone who admires the Second World War leader – credited with helping save Britain from Nazi Germany – as 'crass and simple minded'

Mr Greer also spoke to Bob Seely MP, whose great, great uncle served alongside Churchill

Mr Seely said Mr Greer's argument was just 'trite infantile smearing' and 'eloquent stupidity'

The Isle of Wight MP highlighted that by branding Churchill a racist, Mr Greer is saying he was no better than Adolf Hitler

Piers added: 'I know he was a flawed character, but Winston Churchill single-handedly took this country out of the abyss

'You are saying the man who saved us from the Nazis is actually no better than a Nazi himself

'  Throughout the debate Piers told Mr Greer to 'stop laughing, smirking and sneering' because 'the people who lived through the war are not laughing'

Exasperated, he ended the interview by saying: 'You denigrate this great national icon

  Well, do you know who I find revolting? You.' Yesterday afternoon he confirmed a Tuesday-morning breakfast-television clash for which some of Piers's followers promised to set their televisions to 'record'

Mr Morgan tweeted: 'UPDATE: The thick ginger turd MSP @Ross_Greer who said Churchill is a 'white supremacist mass murderer' will be appearing live on @GMB tomorrow'

Mr Greer, elected in 2016 aged 21, was defiant over the row.He said: 'This is the real, verified history of Churchill and the one known throughout much of the world'

   He added: 'If that's uncomfortable to some here, it's just a sign of how uneducated Britain is of our own shameful history

'His Twitter attack came the day after the rest of the UK, including Prime Minister Theresa May, marked the anniversary of Sir Winston's death on January 24, 1965, aged 90

 Lee Pollock, of the International Churchill Society, said: 'It seems to me this young man's not as important as he would like, so he has found the biggest target he can in order to get the most attention with a radical point of view

It's a cheap trick.'Mr Greer's comments highlighted Sir Winston's pre-war activity and his involvement in colonial rule of India

However, he faced a backlash, with critics telling him to 'do his research'.Afghanistan veteran Colonel Richard Kemp tweeted: 'If Churchill hadn't saved our country from the Germans, you wouldn't be a so-called 'Green MSP', whatever that is

Y'You'd probably just about have made it to Oberrottenführer in the West Schottland Hitler Youth

'Other Scottish politicians jumped to Sir Winston's defence on Monday.Scottish Tory whip Maurice Golden said: 'Sir Winston Churchill is one of the defining figures of western democracy… seeking to diminish him is a disservice to the millions of men and women who fought to preserve our freedom

' Piers Morgan's interview with Ross Greer MSP in full   Piers Morgan: Mr Greer, thank you for joining us, can you just explain to our viewers why your categorisation of Sir Winston Churchill's life and career came down to 'he's a white supremacist mass murder' interposed in your tweet with seven or eight 'clapping emojis', applauding your own genius

Ross Greer: Absolutely, so lets make a comparison. Piers you're a sensitive soul, yesterday you accused me of being a racist for pointing out that you look like honey glazed gammon

If you want an example of real racism, you just have to look to Churchill. He talked about his belief in the triumph of the Aryan race

He hated Indians with a passion. He said they were a beastly people with a beasty religion

When a famine broke out three million people starved to death he was significantly to blame

He said they brought it on themselves for breeding like rabbits.He advocated using poison gas on people he described as uncivilised tribes

He said that native Americans, Australians and black Africans deserved genocide and the domination that they suffered at our hands because whites were a superior race

That's why I said white supremacist.I said mass murdered because he always advocated the most violent the most destructive option

He used poison gas against Kurds against Afghans. He was a strong advocate of Britain's concentration camps in the Boer War when 28,000 people died

He's always advocated the use of aerial bombardments in what he described as terror bombing campaigns

In fact his own cabinet in the 1920s had to stop him from bombing protesters in Ireland

That was how he wanted to deal with problems in Ireland.Susanna Reid: Piers, are you persuaded?PM: Well let's just take one of those points, which I heard you espousing on the BBC yesterday, that Winston Churchill was to blame for the Bengali famine

That is a complete and utter lie. He was not to blame for the famine starting or gathering momentum

In the middle of the Second World War he actually went to great lengths, if you bothered to check your history, and Sir Martin Gilbert, actually went back and read the cabinet papers to see the culpability or otherwise of Churchill in Bengal

He found some interesting things, in which repeatedly, Churchill is seen in the papers to be very concerned about the famine in Bengal, he is going to Canada, Australia, to Roosevelt in America trying to get them help

Does get them help, does get them food.RG: That's not true.PM: It is true. It's in the cabinet war papers

So you can sit there laughing and besmirching the great Winston Churchill.Here's my point on a wider issue

You can take any number of things you find distasteful about Churchill and I'm not here to defend everything that Churchill did

But what you fail to do is offer any perspective. Your sneering little tweet diminished Churchill to… again you're laughing now because people who lived through the war don't laugh

Winston Churchill was voted the greatest Briton of the last century for a reason

It's because people see that single-handedly, through the power of his rhetoric, saved this country in World War Two from the Nazis

Again you laugh, that sneering little laugh.RG: It wasn't him who won the war, it was the soldiers and the sailors and the airmen who voted him out when they came home

PM: Churchill was the Prime Minister. He was the one making decisions and allowed this country to save itself from Adolf Hitler

At no point do you offer any balance, any perspective, any sense that anything Winston Churchill ever did was actually good for this country

A lot of people who look at that tweet think what a nasty, sneering young men who got elected to represent a country that frankly you, we, would all be speaking German and would be goose-stepping your way to Holyrood

So let me go from you to an MP and ex-Army sergeant Bob Seely, whose uncle served alongside Churchill

This enrages me, Bob Seely, because there is a creeping attempt now to besmirch everything Churchill stands for

I have a brother who is a colonel in the British Army who I talked to about this last night and he was spitting with rage from where he is currently serving for this country

This just gets everybody's goat up. I don't defend everything Churchill did, I think he's a difficult, complex character

SR: As any historical hero will be.PM: We heard a rant then that didn't offer any balance, any attempt to say anything positive

Bob Seeley MP: If you want an example of racism, read some of Gandhi's work. Does it make Gandhi a racist? NoPM: Or Nelson Mandela's…BS: Mandela said and did things in his early years that he would have regretted in his later years

So if you want to portray someone as a racist in the way that Ross does with his eloquent stupidity it's very easy to do so

But if you want portray Churchill as a racist, my great, great uncle and he when they served as Conservative MPs they crossed the floor to the Liberals because they were outraged by the treatment of Chinese in South Africa

Now Ross if he checked his history, would know that.You can say Churchill was an old guard Conservative and yet he supported the people's budget in 1911, he campaigned for better treatment for coal miners, shop workers

He did many things that we now regard as being central to the foundation of the welfare state

With the Bengal famine, they had a choice between feeding Bengal and feeding the Balkans and at the time he Churchill, one of his great attributes, was he focused this nation

Ross in his very crude misunderstanding of history says 'oh it was the servicemen who won the war', well of course it was, but our political leadership was not willing to fight that war in the first place

On Bengal, in these papers we have a direct message to Lord Wavell his new Viceroy of India, from Churchill, every effort must be made to deal with local shortages in India

Then there are copies of letters he sent to the Prime Minister of Canada, Australia to Franklin D Roosevelt over the next two years in which he is beseeching them to help the people of Bengal

For you to take that and blame him for the deaths of 3,000 people in Bengali is not just offensive, it is a downright now

RG: No Piers, you just don't understand history.PM: I'm reading history.RG: You mentioned who was then the Viceroy of India, when Wavell was in Churchill's war cabinet, he was planning how to get food to the people of Bengal

Churchill came into that room and stopped them.In fact Churchill spent so long stopping people from getting aid to Bengal

And to go back to Bob's point, it wasn't to feed people in the Balkans it was to stop pile food in the Balkans while three million Indians were starving to death

PM: Here he is begging F D Roosevelt to help, but he was unable to give it to him

RG: But that was after he destroyed 46,000 boats. He let that famine happen.PM: Let me explain to you do you know what Winston Churchill was actually doing during World War Two? Do you realise…Why do you keep smirking and laughing? What is funny about any of this? About your attempts to smear the reputation of a great leader like Winston Churchill?Why do you get a kick out of this?Why do you not have any sense of honour about you that allows you to offer any balance

RG: It's brave about you to talk about honour Piers when the one thing the British public knows about you is that you were sacked from a British newspaper for lying about British troops on the front page and refusing to apologise for it

PM: I knew you would do this. So let me explain what happened there.I was sacked from the Daily Mirror for publishing those photographs of troops, rogue elements of a regiment, who had been abusing Iraqis

They were held to account and some of them were imprisoned for the abuse that they enacted

I never apologised because the abuse happened. I then sat down with General Nick Carter, the head of the British Army, several years ago, in northern France and he told me I was right to publish what I published

So I'm sure you know more than the head of the British Army, but I suspect you don't, like you don't know what happened in Bengal

But let me come to a wider point where you're going to talk about things in my life

RG: Oh, I've lost interest in your life.PM: Do you believe that Winston Churchill did anything positive in World War Two?RG: Yes, he showed strong leadership but let's not pretend that wipes out anything else he did

Because of Churchill, I nearly didn't exist, because of Churchill's hatred of the workers on the Clyde, my gran was almost killed in the Clydebank Blitz

Clydebank was the only place in the UK completely destroyed by the Blitz, because Churchill hated the workers and he hated the unions

Bob mentioned what he did for miners. Miners in Wales hate Churchill because he set police officers against them when all they were doing was campaigning for their own rights

PM: I asked him to say something positive but…BS: If Churchill was a white supremacist and clearly Hitler was a white supremacist, is there some kind of moral equivalence between them?SR: I just wonder whether that was the deliberate intention of the two phrases you used, because as has been pointed out what does that make us think?Hitler was the white supremacist mass murder responsible for the deaths of millions of people, and if it wasn't for Winston Churchill who knows what would have happened to Great Britain

RG: It wasn't just Churchill, if it wasn't for Roosevelt and Stalin in the Soviet Union, but we don't pretend he was a decent man? He was a scumbag

You're not a Stalinist are you Piers?BS: Thank you, that's the first word of sense you've come up with this morning mate

RG: This is about us taking a rounded view of history.PM: You have no rounded view of history, you're just a Churchill hater

RG: You're throwing a tantrum Piers? That's very snowflake of you.PM: I'm not a snowflake about Winston Churchill, I know he was a flawed character, but I also know he almost single handedly pulled this country from the abyss in World War Two

RG: That's wildly ahistorical.SR: I think the thing is Ross, you seem to be articulating a very unique, isolated version of history

RG: No, not at all.SR: Well you are, aren't you. Everyone celebrates Sir Winston Churchill

RG: No they don't if you go to India, Ireland or Kenya, they absolutely don't. If you come to communities like Clydebank that I represent if you got South Wales Valleys

These points of view that have been long held haven't been voiced. Because the prevailing narrative is to not speak ill of this 'war hero'

SR: You can be critical of him but the way you're talking about him… White supremacist mass murder…it's an equivalcence with Hitler

People find that very offensive.PM: It's disgusting.SR: Nobody is denying that every historical hero should be scrutinised but the use of language is so offensive

BS: I was going to completely agree what you were saying. But there is a difference between a great historian summarising and revaluating a great man's life and the rather infantile tripe sloganeering

Putting a racist tag on that person or a sexist tag on that person.This is not history, this is just silly slogan politics

PM: It's become worse than that. There's a younger generation that you epitomise, that decide to twist history to suit a narrative that people like Churchill are evil people that should be condemned

You have not presented a single positive argument.I know 95 per cent of our viewers will be hearing what you're saying and seeing it with utter revulsion

Why does this kid, who's 24, and has been elected to represent Scotland, why does he not appreciate what Winston Churchill did, even if he didn't like him

And when you call Churchill a white supremacist, in your tweet with all these clapping emojis, you are doing an equivalence with Adolf Hitler

You are saying the man who saved us from the Nazis was no better than a Nazi himself

Do you believe that Winston Churchill was better than a Nazi?RG: Of course he was

PM: But you called him a mass murderer, that's what Nazis are.So when you say of course he was better actually you want the world to believe he was no better than a nazi

RG: He was less worse. But his own cabinet minister for India said I cannot tell the difference between Winston Churchill's views on race and Adolf Hitler's

I wouldn't make that comparison because I think it's crass.He was so revolted he felt he had to make that comparison

PM: Do you know what I find revolting? You. I find what you said about Winston Churchill, your sneering performance today, revolting

Reflections on the Laboratory: Kevin Morgan | Lurralde Garapenerako Laborategia - Duration: 2:22.

Reflection on the Territorial Development Laboratory.

Kevin Morgan. Professor of Governance and Development. Cardiff University.

I was very struck by what the official said about the strategy for Gipuzkoa.

I thought it was a very impressive strategy, but it was very ambitious.

And, on the other hand, I didn't think the capacity and the resources

were there to be equal to the challenge so that I thought there was a big

disconnect between a great ambition, on the one hand, and secondly the modesty of the

resources or financial and personnel. So that was a big challenge. And I thought

in terms of the project, Gipuzkoa could learn some of many of the lessons

from small firm economies around the world. Two of the big lessons, I think,

from those small firm economies, are: number one, that firms learn best from

other firms and secondly, that the problem isn't being small;

the real problem is being lonely, where firms are not connected to a network or

an ecosystem. I think that Gipuzkoa experience and especially its strategy

is very relevant to the debates in Europe about multi-level governance

because it the experience in Gipuzkoa shows that the officials recognize the

importance of collaboration; that Gipuzkoa is too small to do all this on its

own. Therefore, it needs to collaborate with its business partners in Gipuzkoa

and it needs to collaborate with other levels of

government, particularly, the basque government for example, but also

collaborating within Europe, in terms of the european level. So all those

different levels of governance, there needs to be vertical collaboration as

well as horizontal collaboration, and I think Gipuzkoa can become a testbed

or a living laboratory for how a small firm region deals with these challenges.

Piers Morgan asks Carol Vorderman to get a racy tattoo of him - on her BUM - Duration: 2:59.

 Piers Morgan has made a pretty shocking request to Carol Vorderman.  On Good Morning Britain, after Richard Arnold arrived on set with a "tattoo" of Piers on his face, the team were inundated with posts on social media, showing off their similar tattoos

 The story came when a New Zealand singer, Kelsey Carter, had an image of Harry Styles tattooed on her face to celebrate his 25th birthday

 One of the fans watching GMB was Carol Vorderman, who posted a picture of herself with a joke tattoo reading "sums," after one of her biggest loves in the world

Read More Piers Morgan vows to LEAVE Good Morning Britain - but there's a catch    But Piers thought perhaps she was lying about what she realy wants to be tattooed on her cheek - and not even the ones on her face

  Carol posted: "I've been hiding this one for years. Lol # Age40 # Tattoo # GMB

"Sums" or @ piersmorgan tattoo.??? Sums for me every time"  While this post was on her arm, Susanna was quick to give her views: "I couldn't love anoyone enough to get their face tattooed on my face!  "It's absolutely frightening

 He read:"She says she never wants any part of my body anywhere near hers, including in ink form

Methinks the lady doth protest too much! When a lady goes too far denying. they're just so overt in their protestations

"  Susanna laughed, suggesting perhaps her viewpoint was nothing to do with any form of secret desire

 To this, he told Carol: "Go and get a little Piers tattoo on your cheeks, Carol

Morgan Pasqual - La Giardiniera di Morgan - Un episodio positivo ed uno negativo - Duration: 2:35.

A negative and a positive event

A significant event in our entrepreneurial path was an activity that

we built alongside our current business with some other business partners,

in a product sector similar to ours, in the world of bakery products where we created

created an extremely ambitious project.

Probably too modern, too innovative in a territorial and economic context not

perfectly aligned with our ideas and therefore not successful.

However, we learned a lot, in terms of organization, speed in making

decisions and problem solving that are skills and procedures that today an entrepreneur,

regardless of the size of the company, must have as skills

in his job description.

A very positive event at the beginning of our journey, so almost six years ago, was a meeting

with a very good producer of Castelmagno, the best in Italy, Mr. Giorgio,

who asked me a jar of pickled vegetables to bring to a friend and this friend was Davide Paolini,

who is also known as "Il Gastronauta" which is the name of a show

on radio 24 and coincidentally that morning, when he spoke about it in his radio show,

we were listening to it in the laboratory

and knew nothing about it. And that was the starting point, because only that day

we received about fifteen phone calls from all over Italy, from curious people, enthusiasts and even

retailers, who wanted information on our pickled vegetables

and this was our first, let's say, important public appearance.
