696) Northern Independence Party, NIP, Północna Partia Niepodległości - niewielka secesjonistyczna i demokratyczna partia socjalistyczna, która dąży do uczynienia z regionu północnej Anglii niezależnego państwa pod anglosaską nazwą Northumbria. Partia, która została założona w październiku 2020 roku przez wykładowcę i byłego działacza Partii Pracy Philipa Proudfoota, nie ma obecnie wybranych przedstawicieli. Prowadzi ją David Heaven. NIP został utworzony 22 października 2020 r. przez Philipa Proudfoota, wykładowcę międzynarodowych studiów nad rozwojem na Uniwersytecie w Sussex i byłego działacza Partii Pracy z hrabstwa Durham, wraz ze swoją koleżanką Evie McGovern i innymi byłymi działaczami Partii Pracy, którzy byli wyobcowani tym, co postrzegali jako ruch Keira Starmera w kierunku centrum jako lidera partii. Proudfoot zainspirował się do założenia partii po obejrzeniu krytycznej odpowiedzi Andy'ego Burnhama na ograniczony pakiet wsparcia rządu Westminster dla Greater Manchester podczas pandemii COVID-19. Powiedział Big Issue North, że centralizacja władzy w Londynie również odegrała pewną rolę, podkreślając podział Północ-Południe w opiece zdrowotnej, transporcie, edukacji i ogólnym poziomie życia jako czynniki motywujące. NIP wystąpił do PKW o rejestrację 12 lutego 2021 r., ale wniosek został odrzucony ze względu na niekompletność pierwotnego wniosku. 24 marca partia ponownie złożyła wniosek o rejestrację, a 30 czerwca ogłosiła, że została zarejestrowana w Komisji Wyborczej. Po ogłoszeniu NIP, że wybrał byłą posłankę Partii Pracy Thelmę Walker na swoją kandydatkę w wyborach uzupełniających w Hartlepool w maju 2021 r., Huffington Post UK poinformował, że liczba członków partii wzrosła z 300 do 1300. Początkowo partię prowadził Proudfoot. Zrezygnował w lipcu 2022 roku i został zastąpiony przez Davida Heavena. Zainspirowany kampanią Szkockiej Partii Narodowej na rzecz niepodległości Szkocji, NIP ma na celu uczynienie północnej Anglii niepodległym państwem pod nazwą Northumbria, które wcześniej istniało jako anglosaskie średniowieczne królestwo od czasów VII wiek do X wieku. Proudfoot powiedział, że geografia Northumbrii obejmowałaby Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbrię, Merseyside, Tyne and Wear, Greater Manchester, County Durham, Northumberland i Cheshire, a od 2022 roku generalnie obejmuje dzielnicę High Peak w północnym Derbyshire. Partia zaproponowała York jako możliwą stolicę, chociaż zaproponowała również posiadanie wielu stolic. NIP określa się jako demokratyczna partia socjalistyczna, opowiadająca się za „odrodzeniem zielonego przemysłu” i „socjalizmem z północnym akcentem”, proponując socjalistyczną gospodarkę rynkową z bardziej zdecentralizowanym systemem i naciskiem na współ-operatorów, lokalne przedsiębiorstwa i przedsiębiorstwa społeczne.[ Partia popiera również zasady budowania bogactwa społeczności, znane jako model Prestona. Powiedział również, że na niezależnej Północy znacjonalizowałby niektóre branże tam, gdzie to możliwe, w tym usługi użyteczności publicznej, transport publiczny i Narodową Służbę Zdrowia. Popiera nacjonalizację łączy szerokopasmowych, aby były one bezpłatne w miejscu ich dostarczania. Przedstawiając się jako partia post-Brexitowa, w projekcie manifestu NIP stwierdzono, że niezależna Północ może podjąć decyzję o przystąpieniu do Unii Europejskiej w drodze referendum „w odległej przyszłości”. Pozostawiłoby to również elektoratowi kwestię, czy niezależna Północ zachowa monarchię, w referendum, które odbyłoby się w tej sprawie, gdyby się pojawiło. NIP sprzeciwia się także First Past the Post jako systemowi wyborczemu, uważając, że o jego zastąpieniu powinno decydować zgromadzenie konstytucyjne. Doniesiono, że większość początkowego poparcia partii pochodziła z rozczarowania przywództwem Partii Pracy Starmera, szczególnie na lewym skrzydle partii. Stewart Arnold z The Yorkshire Post argumentował, że obecność partii byłaby „dobra dla demokracji, ponieważ rzuci wyzwanie dwóm głównym partiom, aby przedstawiły odpowiednie plany, które pozwolą Yorkshire i reszcie północy przejąć kontrolę nad własnym losem i uwolnić swój potencjał”. Będąc w The Guardian, Alex Niven był sceptyczny co do szans partii, zauważając, że „archaiczny system ‘pierwszy za słupkiem’ bardzo utrudnia mniejszym partiom zdobycie przyczółka w Westminsterze”. Porównał perspektywy NIP do UKIP, ale bez „żadnych zalet UKIP i większości jego ograniczeń”, chociaż zasugerował, że partia „może być po prostu początkiem bardziej ogólnej zmiany w brytyjskiej polityce”, zauważając: „Jeśli nawet mniejszość zniechęceni korbyniccy mieszkańcy północy staną za NIP, [...] Spadek Partii Pracy przyspieszy”. W opinii dla The Times były członek Partii Pracy, James Matthewson, nazwał NIP „uwielbionym żartem” i oskarżył go o „fetyszyzację kultury klasy robotniczej z północy przez uprzywilejowanych, skrajnie lewicowych ideologów z klasy średniej”. Poseł Partii Pracy z Liverpool Riverside, Kim Johnson, odrzucił hasło partii „Chodzi o krwawy czas” i użycie logo z whippetem jako „ekstremalnie protekcjonalny”. W New Statesman, Freddie Hayward, odrzucając przychylne porównania do szkockiego ruchu niepodległościowego, doszedł do wniosku, że partia „może być donkiszotowska lub może być zalążkiem siły politycznej, która nadaje północy ‘konsekwencje narodowe’” i że może być „potrzebne do pociągnięcia głównych partii do odpowiedzialności za niepowodzenie w rozwiązaniu problemu podziału północ-południe”. W tym samym punkcie, współpracownik Jonn Elledge skrytykował decyzję partii o niekwestionowaniu północnych burmistrzów, pisząc, że chociaż wszystko, co „sprawia, że wszyscy zwracają większą uwagę na północ, musi być dobre”, uważał, że partia atakuje wyborców Partii Pracy jako potencjalnie „przekazanie kolejnego miejsca z czerwonej ściany partii rządzącej”, co raczej nie „obudzi ministrów na potrzebę przeznaczenia większej ilości pieniędzy i uwagi gdziekolwiek na północ od Stevenage”. Pisząc dla Novara Media, bloger psefologiczny Ell Folan, choć lekceważył szanse Thelmy Walker na wygraną w Hartlepool, uważał, że NIP „może z łatwością kosztować kluczowe miejsca Partii Pracy w przyszłości (zwłaszcza w przypadku torysów tak daleko w sondażach)”, stwierdzając, że „z lewicowością wciąż popularną na północy, regionalizmem rosnącym i czerwonym murem Partii Pracy nie jest już solidny, Starmer musi poważnie potraktować NIP - inaczej nie będzie to dłużej wyglądało na żart”. W dniu 28 marca 2021 r. NIP wybrał Thelmę Walker, byłą posłankę Partii Pracy w Colne Valley w latach 2017-2019, na swojego kandydata w wyborach uzupełniających w Hartlepool. Ponieważ jednak partia nie została zarejestrowana w Komisji Wyborczej przed upływem terminu zgłaszania kandydatów, pojawiła się na karcie do głosowania jako niezależna. Otrzymała 250 głosów, zajmując ósme miejsce z 0,84% głosów i tracąc depozyt. NIP wystartował w wyborach uzupełniających w Wakefield w 2022 r., a Christopher Jones otrzymał 84 głosy, zajmując 14. miejsce na 15 z 0,3% głosów i tracąc depozyt. Wybory samorządowe 2021 Partia poparła czterech niezależnych kandydatów w wyborach lokalnych w 2021 r. w okręgach Derby i Litherland w Sefton oraz w okręgu Pendleton & Charlestown w Salford. Żaden z tych kandydatów nie został wybrany. NIP wystawił ośmiu kandydatów w wyborach lokalnych w 2022 r. W okręgu Kingstone w Barnsley, okręgu Beeston i Holbeck w Leeds, okręgach West Fenham i Wingrove w Newcastle upon Tyne, okręgu Litherland w Sefton, okręgach City and Crookes i Crosspool w Sheffield oraz West Kirby i Thurstaston, okręgi Wirral. Żaden z tych kandydatów nie został wybrany.

The Hidden Truth: 1.11 “The Final Analysis” (24th September 1964). Written by Peter Lambda; dir. Peter Sasdy. Featuring regulars Alexander Knox, Elizabeth Weaver, Zia Mohyeddin, George Moon & Ruth Meyers. Guest starring Lyn Ashley, Patricia Healey, Philip Locke, David Lodge & Simon Lack.

Dr da Silva (Zia Mohyeddin) watches an ambulance arrive at St Judes, carrying a pregnant woman, Jenny (Lyn Ashley) who’s been badly injured in a car crash. The birth of her baby brings three people into conflict - and Professor Lazard (Alexander Knox) and Dr Coliton (Elizabeth Weaver) “must tread carefully if they are to avoid allowing their personal feelings to colour their judgment.”

Other guests include Patricia Healey and David Lodge as Nan & Henry Barker, Philip Locke as Michael Watt, Helen Lennox as Sally, Douglas Muir as Mr. Proudfoot, Simon Lack and Margaret John as Dr Roberts & a ward sister (more St Jude’s staff?), and Emrys Leyshon as a police constable.

“The Final Analysis” was one of only two episodes not to include James Maxwell’s Dr Fox. The IMBd summary suggests that it focused primarily on Lazard (or “Professor Hazard” as they put it) and Dr Coliton, but the Mirror chose to preview the episode with a feature on Zia Mohyeddin, who played da Silva - “An actor everyone wants to know” and added the detail about his part in the opening sequence, so he may also have been prominent in the episode.

Tonight Zia appears as Dr. Hamavid da Silva, a post-graduate from Ceylon, in the scientific series “The Hidden Truth” (ITV 8.0).

He has earned himself quite a reputation, both in the theatre and on TV. He first came to prominence in the West End in the play “Passage to India,” and followed this up with a top-class performance as Lawrence’s guide in the film “Lawrence of Arabia.”

Now he is adding to his reputation in “The Hidden Truth.”

Zia has packed a lot of experience into a very busy acting career. He has done a bit of everything – from commentating to acting and directing in radio in Karachi; acting and directing for Australian TV. He organised the first professional theatre in Pakistan and played for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. Then he went to Hollywood for “Passage to India”; and toured America with a one-man show of story-telling, poetry-reading and recitals.”

The article also noted that Lyn Ashley, playing the pregnant woman at the centre of the conflict, was the daughter of actress Madge Ryan.

(IMBd gives 1st October 1964 as the date of broadcast, but the TV pages have it scheduled as 24th September (following ep10 on Sept 17th), with no indication of any reschedule & episode 12 appears in the schedules as per normal for Oct 1st over most regions.)

As with the next two episodes, Kaleidoscope lists "The Final Analysis” as having surviving clips or sequences - here’s hoping Talking Pictures will let us have a peek at those! And maybe we can work out which three people are coming into conflict over the baby...

Idea for a fifth and final season of Fargo

Set in 2016, about five years after season 3 and ten years after season 1, the story interconnects many of the narratives from all of the previous anthologies, with various returning characters tied into a new story.

See below...

MAIN CHARACTERS Odina Tripoli (Amber Midthunder) - During a long exile, the tenacious daughter of deceased mob boss, Moses Tripoli a.k.a. Hanzee Dent, has gone from bratty to vengeful in her entitlement. She is now looking to re-establish the Fargo Crime Syndicate, ten years after its dissolution at the hands of Lorne Malvo (season 1). A chance encounter with Charlie Gerhardt, the last surviving member of his own crime family syndicate from the 70s (season 2), now happily living his life as a law-abiding citizen, does not dissuade her from her path to take back control of the town from the Kansas City Mafia, with the help of her father’s only remaining employee, a deaf hitman.

Wes Wrench (Russell Harvard) - After escaping custody at Duluth hospital ten years ago (episode 1x08), and returning to the mob headquarters, Wrench discovered that Malvo had killed everyone there except for the boss’s precocious teenager. He begrudgingly took her to a log cabin near Blackduck to hide with her last known family; a distant cousin of Hanzee’s named Shep Proudfoot. Shep had been a fugitive in hiding there since a triple homicide incident in 1987 (Fargo, the movie). Wrench was recaptured by the police and put in jail, but returned to Blackduck years later, with a briefcase full of money that he and Nikki Swango took from Varga (episode 3x10). Odina convinced him to wait as she planned how to use the money to take back Fargo. Zero Fadda (Joe Mantegna) and Mike Milligan a.k.a. Satchel Cannon (John Amos) - Now in their seventies, the two sons of crime bosses from a dying age, once traded away as pawns (season 4), now run what is left of the Kansas City Mafia together as close friends. Over the decades, the organization has evolved from a criminal enterprise into a largely legitimate business concern. Zero looks after the professional, above-board side, while Mike handles any illegal undertakings when necessary. This partnership has served them well, but since taking Fargo from the Gerhardt family in ‘79, eventually losing it to Moses Tripoli, and then reclaiming it again after Moses’ death, the Minnesota area has been more difficulty than it’s worth, especially now Odina Tripoli has returned as a new challenger stirring up trouble. Winnie Lopez (Olivia Sandoval), Now the chief at St Cloud Police Department, and pregnant again, she is assigned to a bank robbery and multiple homicide, where the robber appeared disinterested in taking any money, and his accomplice appeared unaware he was taking part in a robbery at all. Greta Grimly (Joey King), Molly Solverson’s stepdaughter, now in her early 20s and studying crime in Twin Cities. She and Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine), Molly’s father, have grown especially close, and often organize to meet up for lunch in Brainerd, halfway between Bemidji and the capitol, to keep in touch. After Lou is caught in the crossfire during a bank robbery while there, Greta is spurred to investigate, and becomes entrenched in Odina’s brewing turf war. Bly Vanderslice (Aubrey Plaza) Winnie’s estranged half-sister is an escort with a penchant for drugging her clients and running up their hotel room service tabs while they sleep, before leaving them in compromising positions. Her mother, Noreen, babysat Molly as a child (season 2) and she shares her interest in philosophy and nihilism. Bly suffers from face-blindness, which makes her role as a witness to a series of murders largely untenable.

Dirk de Wees van Hoebeek (Dan Stevens) An awkward, introverted local birdwatcher and duck enthusiast who has developed an unhealthy obsession with Bly, fantasizing that the two of them are dating. He mistakes her literal inability to recognize his face, as a sign of her playing hard-to-get, and is eager to impress her despite her indifference. When Wrench discovers he knows sign language, he tricks Dirk into acting as his interpreter during a bank heist, implicating him in the crime. Wrench gives him all of the money they take, making Dirk suddenly rich, but an unwitting scapegoat. Oddly enough, everywhere he goes, he seems to be randomly haunted by stereotypical lumberjacks (both in iconography and actual people); a symbol of the dominant masculinity he can never personally attain. Ruby Goldfarb (Mary McDonnell), In the past five years, ‘The Storage Queen of The Great Lakes Region’ (season 3) has gone from strength to strength, and after recently buying the ‘Phoenix Farms’ supermarket chain from former ‘Supermarket King of Minnesota’ (Season 1), a now despondent Stavros Milos (David Platt), she is looking to expand further west into North Dakota. But given their control over the area, this expansion will require the mafia’s blessing and necessitates a sit-down with Zero Fadda and his representative in Fargo. Pearl Smutney-Cannon (Aunjanue Ellis), The niece of Mike Milligan, she owns a car dealership in Alexandria as a front for the Kansas City Mafia, her involvement with whom is only familial and unavoidable as her finances are tied up with theirs. She represents their interests in Fargo, but intends to distance herself from the mob, taking this new conflict as an opportunity to get out. She is targeted first when her dealership is shot up by Odina’s crew during a drive-by, damaging much of her stock. This prompts her to uncover the secret partnership between Odina Tripoli and Ruby Goldfarb, that was formed after Zero refused to support Goldfarb’s expansion to the west.

Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare), After his actions in 1987 (Fargo, the movie), Gaear is serving multiple life sentences in jail, where he meets Wes Wrench and becomes a twisted sort of mentor figure to him. His connections on the outside help Wrench and Tripoli build an army to retake Fargo. He also alerts them to a safety deposit box of unexplained importance in a bank in Brainerd, which confusingly turns out to contain only a small replica statue of Paul Bunyan, the theft of which starts off the narrative chain of events.
