Frederick Douglass, a former slave, became a prominent figure in the abolitionist movement in the United States in the 19th century. After settling in Massachusetts, Douglass began attending antislavery meetings and speaking at gatherings. His powerful speeches and firsthand experiences with slavery moved audiences and increased his determination to end slavery. To prove the authenticity of his stories, Douglass published his autobiography, which gained widespread readership and put his life in danger. He later traveled to Great Britain, where he lectured and raised funds for the abolitionist cause. Douglass eventually started his own newspaper, The North Star, in Rochester, New York, to share his ideas and advocate for equality. Despite financial difficulties, Douglass continued to write and speak out against racial prejudice, working for universal freedom and equality between races. His speeches in Great Britain also contributed to increased British hostility toward slavery and the British refusal to recognize the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

The Bank of England has released new paper money featuring King Charles III, making him the second monarch to appear on UK banknotes after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The new £5, £10, £20, and £50 bills will feature Charles' portrait, while the rest of the design will remain the same. The old banknotes with Queen Elizabeth's portrait can still be used, but as they wear out or the demand for paper money increases, new ones with Charles' likeness will be printed and put into circulation. The process follows guidelines set by the royal family to reduce waste, cost, and environmental impact. The king was presented with the first of the new banknotes at a ceremony, and some people are eager to obtain bills from the earliest batch, which will be more valuable to collectors.

While UK/US firms, in response to efforts to become more sustainable and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, increasingly have been adopting a stakeholder model of corporate governance, the shareholder model that has dominated governance for the past several decades still exerts a great deal of influence over how UK/US firms behave. By contrast, Japan's traditional model, emphasising community and long-term stability, lacks transparency. Recently, Japanese firms have begun aligning with UK/US governance, but this paper suggests the emergence of diverse sub-models, combining both models' elements, will define the future. The case of Fujitec Ltd. and Oasis Management offers valuable insights for managers, policymakers, and practitioners to navigate international corporate governance complexities, support informed decision-making, and encourage effective stakeholder engagement.

The U.K. policy of "Prevent" aims to stop people becoming involved in, or supporting, terrorism. In common with many CVE policies worldwide. Prevent has remained controversial in its conception, delivery, and impact. A formal review is now underway, so it is opportune to ask, "Whither Prevent?" This paper will examine briefly the justifications for Prevent, but the main thesis is that the juridification of Prevent is a beneficial trend in the U.K. Juridification is depicted as: the legislative production of ever more extensive and elaborate instruments; the expansion of judicial oversight; and the administrative (bureaucratic) application of soft law-standards. Juridification is here invoked in order to enhance the legitimacy of the policy of Prevent through explicit improvements in its modes of operation and through offering modes of challenge where the principles of constitutionalism are contravened. If Prevent can be improved in these ways, then its application can be refined to address more effectively and efficiently the threat of terrorist attacks, especially given that the originators or observers of these threats are invited under the Prevent policy to cooperate by consent in the enterprise of counter terrorism.

The British government's decision to cut newsprint imports was indorsed by the House of Commons in spite of a barrage of criticism from members of all parties. The cut means that British newspapers must either reduce circulation or return to the font-page format of war time. As a result, it is charged, publishers will lose revenue, workers will lose jobs and the task of keeping the public properly informed about current events will be rendered immeasurably more difficult. Moreover, it is argued, the maximum saving to be achieved is $12,000,000, a minute fraction of the current trade deficit. One sympathizes with British publishers and journalists but realize that the Labor government has a case too. Its thankless task is to cut down imports at a time when they are so far below the total Britain could absorb that any cut must be painful.

Does automatic enrollment into retirement saving increase household debt? We study the randomized roll-out of automatic enrollment pensions to ~160,000 employers in the United Kingdom with 2-29 employees. We find that the additional savings generated through automatic enrollment are partially offset by increases in unsecured debt. Over the first 41 months after enrollment, each additional month increases the average automatically enrolled employee's pension savings by £32-£38, unsecured debt (such as personal loans and bank overdrafts) by £7, the likelihood of having a mortgage by 0.05 percentage points, and mortgage balances by £118. Automatic enrollment causes loan defaults to fall and credit scores to rise modestly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
