| Martin Amis on the English: provocative and preposterous | Zoe Williams Posted: 19 Mar 2014 01:00 AM PDT  Amis shows no interest in life in England now. He cannot distil or explain the national character, because he isn't listening Why do we care what Martin Amis thinks about Englishness? Particularly in a BBC4 documentary; it's so niche. It's only one or two degrees away from trying to provoke people from your bath. Except there is something in the tone, something in the order and priorities and language of his documentary, that puts him on a particular plinth of the establishment – the old school intelligentsia, the pre-PC intellectual, too smart to be silenced by fashion, the guy who will tell the nation how it really is. What he said was much more textured than the news stories rendered: plus, he is quite contradictory, so it would be impossible to disagree with all of it. And yet there is a through-line, an overall "These are the things you don't want to hear, you English. This is the mirror you don't want to look in. Especially you, you liberals, inventors of the things that can't be said." Some of it seems almost crafted to cause a stir, to drop like a pearl of potassium, exploding into controversy and disappearing in the fight. His unsayable thing about women is that they [we] all want to be ravished. They (we) have ravishment fantasies, because it means "if you enjoy it, it's not your fault". Watch yourselves [ourselves], bra-burners; it's a trick. Up close, it's not that controversial. You can have a rape fantasy without endorsing rape; so you're allowed, by the terms of civilisation, to note that other people have rape fantasies without your becoming the rapist's friend. The only objectionable thing is his determined use of the word "ravish", that split second of ambiguity. Does he mean ravish as in "rape"? Is he talking about a rape fantasy? Or does he mean "ravish" as in "filled with delight"? Is he talking about a fantasy of being transfixed, maybe with a macaroon or a card trick? It's a deliberate attempt to drain the act of violation of its verbal power. But he has plausible deniability, here. What would be the point of all that expensive education, if it didn't enable you to belittle the act of rape and then deny it afterwards? You might as well go to a comprehensive. In this explosive mould is the exploration of English racism: the Pakistani in Boston could call himself American, while the Pakistani in Preston couldn't call himself English (without raising an eyebrow): "There's meant to be another layer of being English. There are qualifications other than citizenship and it's to do with white skin." It's a convoluted, late-Morrissey point, with an added layer of snobbery where racism is ventriloquised on to another class. He wasn't talking about the black novelist living in Crouch End, not seeming quite English to him – just in the choice of "Preston". He was determining these sentiments as those of a base English lower class, incapable of transcending skin colour the way their betters can. But again, he might respond, "No, no, I just chose Preston because it half-rhymed with Boston. No class demarcation intended. The English intelligentsia has white as an entry criterion. I have white as an entry criterion." In which case, that would be a different kind of remark, a stranger and more personal one, perhaps so strange and personal that its controversy would be washed away. But there is more to this film (to be broadcast on Sunday) than mischief; there is sincerity, and it's in those moments that you see the indolence of the establishment, and also what a tin ear it has, not because it can't understand, but because it won't listen. Amis notes that class has been replaced, as the foundation for elite institutions, by money. "I have no nostalgia for the class society," he says, "but I have no very great enthusiasm for the money society." Sure, the problem with a meritocracy is that people at the top think they belong there because they're better. At least the aristocracy knew they just got lucky. Money only fleetingly even reflects merit; it is not humanly possible for five people's merit at the top to be as great as 13 million people's combined merit at the bottom. And still they think they deserve it. But that audible shrug, that careless "I hated then, I hate now" – it affects unpalatable realism yet merely defends the status quo. But, finally, what, apart from the weather, really determines our world view? It's a sense of national decline, the inexorable result of the end of our empire. This is what makes us drink ourselves to oblivion, which is the only way "they [we] forget their glorious past and reconcile themselves with a reduced present". The tabloid newspapers, their "scurillity", are so "consonant with British decline … the general coarsening of British nature". They hang pretty strangely, these garments of Britannia: if our decline is down to the loss of empire, how can we call that a coarsening? To do so would be to accept the empire itself as refinement. It wasn't: it was slavery by a posher name; to its victims, I should think, indistinguishable. Even if you thought colonialism was a good thing, and some nations were inherently better than others and born to rule them, you would still have to accept that it was a pretty brutal way of life. Who has been coarsened by the loss of this ugliness? Who in Preston, say, is drinking to a stupor to avoid thinking about Rangoon or Rhodesia? Who would accept this definition of Englishness, the mourning for a jackbooted past whose losers ran into millions and whose winners didn't even extend below the ranks of the English upper middle class? It's preposterous, but more than that, it shows no interest, not even the mildest enquiry into life in England now. Martin Amis is a man in love with his definitions of 1940s poverty – "socks greasy under your feet, that disintegrated after a couple of weeks" – with no interest in what people's socks are like now, how greasy they are, how long they will last. What makes his programme a provocation is exactly what makes a cabinet full of Etonians a provocation; the considerations of these people are very narrow. They may say some interesting things, but they cannot distil or explain the national character, because they are not listening.

| An urbanist's guide to Johannesburg Posted: 19 Mar 2014 01:00 AM PDT  Our bloggers of the week, Urban Joburg, pick the best – and worst – features of the metropolis they know and love City in brief Best building: Ponte Ponte is one of the most recognisable features of the Joburg cityscape. Built around a 55-floor inner core in the 1970s as an exclusive high-rise condominium, it fell prey to urban degeneration and symbolised everything negative you have heard about the city. Recently, through various community and resident-based initiatives of organisations such as Dlala Nje, the building has been transformed into a safer, cleaner and friendlier environment to live in, thereby restoring this iconic building to its former glory. Worst building: Monte Casino Favourite place: Braamfontein This is a student suburb in the inner city that is slowly being regenerated through the injection of private wealth. The result is a public environment that is safe and pleasant to use, for all. Other initiatives, such as the Wits Art Museum, mean the area has become a cultural hub for the city's creative class. Step into any coffee shop and listen to how people are embracing Joburg. Braamfontein represents a new blending of regenerated urban grit and everyday Joburg experiences. It is this mix that seems authentically Joburg. Most hated place Craziest transport: minibus taxis These are informal, private minibus vans that are usually stuffed to the brim with passengers and follow semi-permanent routes in and out of the city. Due to the partial absence of formal public transport, taxis have become integral to Joburg's social fabric. The interiors are usually lively space – with kwaito or upbeat gospel music pumping from the radio – and the drivers are … unrestrained. Although there are various problems with this mode of transport, there is no faster and fun way to get around the city. Favourite coffee shop/restaurant: Burhan's Butchery Are you optimistic about Joburg's future? You bet! This is a city where space is contested, debated, abused, haggled over, stretched out and turned upside down by an active citizenry. This city-making is never particularly sanitised – in fact, it is often downright dirty. But it generally strives to take place within the framework of the South African constitution and in a manner that seeks the fulfilment of citizens' rights to dignity, equality and freedom. That is true city-making. • The best city blogs around the world – interactive map theguardian.com © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

| €480m EU funding gap threatens vital humanitarian aid projects Posted: 19 Mar 2014 12:00 AM PDT  Shortfall equal to half annual humanitarian aid budget could sound death knell for life-saving programmes, officials warn A funding shortfall of about half of the EU's annual humanitarian aid budget will axe life-saving NGO projects and trigger global job losses in July unless urgent action is taken by politicians of the 28-country bloc, senior officials have warned. The aid crunch is the result of a gap between the sums that EU member states pledged for aid operations in "commitment credits" and what they have delivered, under a 2014-2020 budget framework insisted on by countries such as the UK. "The situation has become critical," the resources director of the EU's humanitarian aid and civil protection directorate (DG Echo), Walter Schwarzenbrunner, said. "We need to find a way to get institutional reinforcement of €400m (£334m) – with €150m before the summer – to avoid a real crisis." Additional revenue shortfalls would take the final budget deficit to €480m, he added. DG Echo has tried to limit the effect of the funding gap by prioritising core operations and postponing new payments to small NGO operations in regions including the drought-prone Sahel in sub-Saharan African, as well as parts of Asia and South America. But the union's capacity for responding to humanitarian crises had been limited, Schwarzenbrunner said, even if he hoped the commission would bring forward new proposals in late May. Asked whether emergency aid delivery would be axed in July otherwise, he replied: "This would definitely be the consequence. I cannot deny it. We have prioritised crucial life-saving operations at least to a certain extent, but we will run out of the possibility of continuing these under a variety of scenarios that could materialise." Without the replenishment of DG Echo funds, even core areas such as Syria, South Sudan and the Central African Republic could be affected, he said. Other EU officials confirmed that in the event of a humanitarian crisis, the directorate "would promise less than they would in normal circumstances". Any shortfall in funding for programmes after July will be accompanied by job losses. "We operate to a greater extent than other parts of the commission using short-term external staff, and of course their contracts and jobs depend on the relevance of the action behind it," Schwarzenbrunner told EurActiv. "At the end of the day, if no action is financed, it calls into question the pertinence of keeping people there on those contracts." The EU is the world's biggest aid donor, providing more than 50% of the world's humanitarian assistance through international groups such as the Red Cross/Crescent, UN agencies and NGOs. With relief missions from Haiti to Colombia, polls have consistently shown humanitarian aid to be the bloc's most popular mission. The decision by senior officials to speak out may reflect anxiety at the scale of the cutbacks that could follow a payment credits crunch in the summer. "I am sure DG Echo will try to manage the situation," another EU source said, "but if you have to reduce staff, you lose your possibility to react to a crisis." Humanitarian aid is different to other forms of EU spending in that it is relatively short-lived – projects typically last 12-18 months – and it often has to be deployed immediately to be effective, as in the case with famines or floods, for example. Grave concernsNGOs contacted by EurActiv expressed grave concern at the potential consequences of what they described as an extraordinary situation. "DG Echo supported 120 million people in 2013, and if it has to stop its projects later this year it will have a tremendous impact on conflict-affected people needing life-saving and resilience-building projects in the field," said Kathrin Schick, director of Voice, an umbrella group for aid NGOs. "Our members are very, very concerned about this. As humanitarian actors, we need predictability of funding," she added. "You can't postpone aid payments very long, as you can only buy medicine with the money you have. We hope a way can be found to eliminate the gap between commitments and payments in the 2015 budget to avoid similar situations arising in the future." A senior official in the EU's wider development directorate said short-term cash-flow management techniques were being used to try to funnel monies to DG Echo. "But we have to be careful that we don't commit too much too quickly, as we won't be able to pay up," he added. Attempts are under way to access some reserve funds in the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2014-2020. Non-vital aid programmes are also being deferred to next year where possible but, even with these provisos, the cuts would bite. "If you have to delay a payment to a small NGO, it may be their end," the official said. Within the commission, the problem is seen as a member-state reluctance to commit sufficient payment credits to satisfy the UK's demand for lowering spending in this EU budget. The best opportunity for a resolution to the shortfall may now be a request from the commission or parliament for a mid-term review of the MFF. "For the moment, though, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place," the EU official said. theguardian.com © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

| Bhutan is not all about happiness; it's a country grappling with modernity Posted: 19 Mar 2014 12:00 AM PDT  The Kingdom's gross national happiness approach to development has been successful, but it still faces challenges. A robust private sector can help Bhutan is not Shangri La, and gross national happiness is not the panacea of human development. I'm not looking to burst the bubble of mysticism around this magical country, but at least I can blow away some of the mountain mist that clouds its reputation. Bhutan is a country that is grappling with modernity and development. Shangri La, as described by James Hilton in his 1933 novel, is an isolated mountain idyll where people age slowly and live in happiness and harmony. In many respects, Bhutan is not far off this description. The problem with Shangri La is that it is a figment of our imagination rooted in a bygone era – Shangri La has no toilets, no roads, no hospitals and no schools. This may have been the case 50 years ago, when Bhutan was almost completely isolated. Its first paved road came in 1961, its first bank in 1968. At that time, there were only a few hundred students in a handful of schools and life expectancy in 1960 was just 37 years. Much has however changed in recent years as Bhutan has opened its doors the outside world. Thimphu, the country's capital since 1961 is a city of 100,000 and plays host to around 16% of country's population, one third of registered companies and more than 50% of the country's 68,000 cars. My experience living here has been magical in its own way. The day I arrived, my bags shared the luggage carousel at the country's only international airport with a dozen flat screen televisions. I live in an apartment with wifi, wear a sashed gho to work and walk to an office where I can hear the drone of chanting monks. On weekends I visit the Centennial Market for my vegetables and local red rice, run through the rustic camps of yak herders, and enjoy views of mountains carpeted by untouched forests. By carefully pursuing a balanced approached to economic development with its gross national happiness philosophy, Bhutan has successfully preserved its culture and important natural resources, while embracing modernity and improving the livelihoods of its people. Bhutan's population still faces many challenges, in particular in relation to the development of robust private sector to support an autonomous economy. The newly elected prime minister, Tshering Tobgay was recently quoted as saying, "Rather than talking about happiness, we want to work on reducing the obstacles to happiness". Indeed, it is hard to be happy without a job, without a school, a road to your village or a toilet for your home. "We need to grow our own food, build our own homes," said Tobgay in the same interview. This is where the private sector comes in. The International Finance Corporation estimates that some 90% of jobs in developing countries will come from the private sector. Increasingly, the government in Bhutan acknowledges this fact, recognising that achieving its development goals and economic independence will require the nurturing of a robust and entrepreneurial private sector. Already, there are many factors that play in Bhutan's favour to support this future. It ranks 31 out of 177 countries on Transparency International's corruption perception index, ahead of Spain and far above its neighbour India. In addition, its education rates are among the highest in the region, it has universal healthcare, mobile coverage for 99% of its people and is in the process of bringing electricity to the last of the high Himalayan villages. These factors, alongside a stable and proactive democratic government, make Bhutan a prime candidate for private sector growth. The country has been open to foreign investment for only 10 years, with investments mainly in luxury hotels and a few industrial processes that take advantage of the country's abundant and low-carbon hydropower. The opportunities have barely been tapped. Only 30% of the country has been prospected for mineral development and 10,000 MW of hydropower will be coming online over the next decade. As mindsets shift from the middle ages to the 21st century, the country is opening for business. The government has committed to creating a better enabling environment for both local and foreign businesses to flourish. In this spirit, it is supporting the organisation of the first Better Business Summit which will take place in Thimphu at the end of this month. This will be the first multi-stakeholder event designed to bring together cabinet level government officials with local and international business leaders to explore how Bhutan can be more business friendly. Catalysing an entrepreneurial private sector will require public and private collaboration. The stakeholder event is being hosted by government partnership, the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Druk Holding & Investments, my employer and overseer of the state owned enterprises. While conversations at the summit will focus on economic growth, regional cooperation and youth unemployment, participants will also be thinking about the balance of preserving its culture, environment and the spirit of gross national happiness. If you want Shangri La, go to Disneyland, but if you want magic you can live and a development philosophy you can bank on, come to Bhutan.

| The men who mould what modern woman looks like: from the archive, 19 March 1976 Posted: 19 Mar 2014 12:00 AM PDT  How do the photographers who specialise in pictures of women - from society portraits to soft porn - view the models they see through the lens? Ben Taylor was one of the chosen few who photographed the Queen on her wedding day, although his gentle modesty forbids him dwelling on the subject. He is a diminutive, neatly dressed 62, softly spoken and almost dwarfed by his giant antique camera at Bassano and Vandyk, the London studio known for its elegant portraits of society's well-heeled daughters - the kind of portraits which grace the pages of Country Life and the piano tops of country drawing-rooms. He works in a three-piece suit with a white handkerchief in his top pocket, and a shine on his black shoes - he is dealing with the old English families and that is the sort of approach he believes they expect. He is courteous in the extreme, and would never dream of addressing clients by their first name. Miss FitzGerald was the first client after lunch. She arrived punctually, was ushered into the studio, took one look at the ancient camera, and wondered aloud - as young ladies from Chelsea tend to wonder - whether it took good pictures. But Mr Taylor is used to that sort of thing, and with practised respect asked Miss FitzGerald if he could ask her to sit down. He seldom thinks he has taken a good picture. There is always something afterwards that could have been improved on: "As soon as you say, 'I'm the greatest,' you are finished." Miss FitzGerald said she had been made to feel "classical, even regal." No, she did not think she would be giving the prints to her boyfriends. But she thought her mother would simply love them. "Now, has Miss FitzGerald got time for a cup of tea?" inquired Mr Taylor. I'm an arse man man really. I love a good arse shot. That's a real turn-on in terms of a picture. What I can't stand is chewed down fingernails, says Clive McLean, whose golden rule about successful pictures for girlie magazines is that you do not photograph the girl you fancy unless her body is the type the market wants. Having made the mistake himself on the way to the top of the soft porn ladder, he should know. "In the late sixties it was all big tits, nighties, and haystacks. Only I fancied this slim tasty girl, and I liked doing romantic pictures. 'Lovely Clive,' they used to say, 'but it's all art and not enough bird.'" McLean studied graphic design at Bradford College of Art. He met a photographer called Lewis Morley who did the front of house pictures for some of the West End theatres. Mr Morley did the occasional tasty nude. Clive did some printing for him, and that's how he started. To start with it was frustrating having to do the "knicker shots" and other dirty stuff. Now his up-market clients - he is retained by Paul Raymond's Men Only - grudgingly take his arty pictures of girls of slenderer means. "I like to shoot a girl candidly as though she does not know I'm there. You have to shoot a few looking at the camera because that's what the market requires, and it has got to be quite horny without being too crude." Joannie Allum will feature in the next Men Only. "It's a means of getting into modelling," she said, "and the money is good. It's nice seeing pictures that make me look sexy, and if it's going to turn men on as well that's fine. I just try to make a nice shape for the photograph." Clive usually takes a day to shoot a Men Only spread for which he is paid £150. His enormous grey Lincoln does about eight miles to the gallon; and when the cleaning lady who had offered to make coffee had gone, we opened a bottle of champagne. theguardian.com © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
