Scandal Newspaper Edition

Capture the news that shocked the nation! - Stories of major scandals from the last 200 years, as reported in The Times.
How Times have changed or have they really? 200 years of scandal from the 1839 Bedchamber Crises involving Sir Robert Peel to more contemporary revelations about Profumo, Clinton, Blunkett et al.
Read about the scandals as they happened, and reported in The Times newspaper. Each story is categorised in chapters such as “Celebrity and Showbiz” which records the exploits of Oscar Wilde to Kate Moss. A chapter on Sporting scandals, includes Lester Piggott, Ben Johnson, and Sven-Goran Erikson. A chapter on Royalty & Aristocracy covers tales from Victoria’s son, Edward Prince of Wales to Lord Lucan, Diana and Paul Burrell. Political indiscretions are also covered, from Palmerston’s resignation in 1851 to David Blunkett resignation in more recent years.

This fascinating book gives a real insight into the social issues of the day, viewed at different times in our history. Scandal as judged by the norms and social behaviour of the time. What was seen as unacceptable yesterday may seem trivial today, and then again reading the news headlines in this book one cannot but conclude that some aspects of British behaviour really have changed very little.
